Pros

The people that do the work.

Cons

Management. They only listen to the ones they know-new employees are not given a chance to be heard.

It is difficult for any organization to be perfect, but we are always disappointed to hear when anyone has formed a negative opinion of our company. As an employee-owned company, we work very hard to provide our fellow employee-owners the skills and collaborative environment needed to excel. Just a few examples include working with employees each year to develop career goals, establishing programs such as our Society of Torch Emerging Professionals (STEPs), and conducting voluntary training sessions open to every employee-owner. Because we are all owners at Torch, we also encourage our employee-owners to take advantage of our open-door policy to communicate their goals and concerns with any level of management - even with our CEO. While there is always room for improvement, we believe that our approach to open communication and extensive training programs create an empowering environment for our employees. We also believe that this is one of the reasons Torch was recognized again this year by Fortune and Great Place to Work as one of the nation's best workplaces for the third consecutive year and why Torch consistently achieves one of the lowest voluntary turnover rates in our industry.

Pros

Awesome Benefits including company stock in the ESOP, Tight-nit Family Atmosphere, Interest in Employee Ideas, Upper Management that is Approachable, Intentional Care for the Employee.

Cons

The only con is really a positive. When growing so fast, its hard not to have issues with processes, infrastructure, etc. But on a side note, I see a lot of attention being given toward being prepared for the future.

Pros

Such a great place to work! Management trusts employee opinions and asks for input regarding scheduling and resources. I've never received unrealistic demands, and all levels of management are open to discussing different points of view. Great perks with Torch history classes, ESOP education classes, lunch with President and CEO, not to mention all the events for employees AND our families. Torch offers incredibly flexible work schedules and 15% in retirement!

Cons

Just the normal growing pains.
