Work Environment

The company operates in the retail security and equipment space, manufacturing grocery store security systems and cart lock and cart pusher products commonly seen at major grocery and retail chains. Founded on the principles of innovation, quality, and service, the organization is in full growth mode following a private equity acquisition and a move into a larger facility. The culture emphasizes honesty, loyalty, investing in people, and promoting from within, with clear succession and growth paths in the customer service and field service coordination department. Many team members have advanced from entry-level roles into leadership positions, and consultants frequently transition into direct hires based on performance and business needs. The team environment consists of approximately 15 employees, including 5 team leads, each overseeing 13 direct reports. The workspace is pit-style or cubicle-based, with employees seated near colleagues who manage shared accounts, fostering collaboration and communication. Training is conducted 100% in-office for at least 2 weeks and may extend up to 46 weeks, typically with hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. After training, the standard schedule generally runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with some variation in start times (such as 67 AM or 89 AM) depending on team fit. The current arrangement is four days onsite and one work-from-home day on Fridays, providing a blend of in-office collaboration and remote flexibility. This is a long-term contract role with strong potential to transition to a direct position, supported by a track record of previous consultants moving into permanent roles as the company continues to grow.
