We appreciate that all feedback gives us an opportunity to consider ways that we can become a better company. We also recognize that in all of our teambuilding that there are and will continue to be instances where we aren't a good mutual fit. We are excited to have a team of high caliber professionals who are excited to be a part of a progressive and successful company and we are committed to continuing to give them reasons to feel that way. We certainly wish this individual the best and hope they are able to find an opportunity that is better suited to them. Meantime, we expect to continue to set "unrealistic" goals and expectations, which seems to be working really well for us.
To help balance the conversation regarding the "lack of leadership", the performance of the company would suggest otherwise. In addition to being in the top 3% for annual sales volume in our industry and recognized as Top 10 Fastest Growing Company (out of 25,000 nationally), Consolidus is a 5-time Fastest Growing Company in America (according to Inc. Magazine), a multiple time recipient of the Weatherhead 100 Fastest Growing Companies, a Smart Culture Company (according to Smart Business Magazine), and a "Top Workplace" in Ohio (according to Ohio Business Magazine) and our industry (according to our industry association, ASI). Over the past year, while the pandemic reduced our industry by over 20% and reduced our top accounts by over 50%, the company grew 47%, had no pandemic related layoffs or reduction in staff, and increased our community outreach and support by over 385%. We have an incredible team that makes this possible, but we also expect there is a leadership influence there as well.
