Pros
I've been with Skookum for almost a decade. In my time, I've experienced much growth and opportunity. Skookum has supported my interests and gives me the accountability to excel and grow in a career path I am proud of. This journey with Skookum has allowed me to thrive using my interests and talents to help Skookum grow our impact with our social mission across the nation. Skookum truly cares about the outcomes for its employees, professionally and personally. Investing in the employees is a considerable focus, growing within Skookum or beyond your career of choice. It does take hard work and focus as an employee; you don't grow by just clocking in; the real opportunity is greatly rewarded if you show up and do the work and go above and beyond for others. To work at Skookum takes a unique outlook; it's more than just a job; it's an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself, it's an opportunity to serve, a chance to drive change, a chance to experience, a chance to create strong partnerships. Coming to Skookum a decade ago changed my life; it further defined my purpose and made me proud to go to work every day to continue growing and spreading our mission of creating opportunities for people of all abilities.
Cons
Skookum has grown a lot – being in several states challenges the ability to have deeply rooted relationships/connections with employees/sites outside of WA state, it requires more intention.
