Pros
Lots of companies try to do things that can make them seem green, like insisting employees put “think twice before printing this email” in their signatures, etc. But at Greenerprinter, being eco-friendly is baked into every aspect of how the company operates. Its passion and commitment to being as green as possible, and using the latest & cleanest technologies available to do so, are what define the organization. I very much enjoyed my time at Greenerprinter. From my earliest days at the company, I demonstrated a strong commitment to the company’s mission and its high standards, earning a high degree of trust and confidence from ownership & management. In return, I was continually rewarded with new learning opportunities which allowed me to grow professionally in ways that simply wouldn’t have been achievable in a larger, more bureaucratic organization. I was afforded a high level of autonomy, but always knew that my successes would be recognized and valued. The work was challenging, and expectations were high, but everyone from management on down was made to feel they had a stake in the company’s success; this made for a work environment that was largely collaborative and supportive. By the time I left, I’d held several different roles within the company and had gained experience, skills and work ethics that serve me well to this day.
Cons
The challenges at Greenerprinter are the challenges of the industry in general: Deadlines are tight, and errors can be costly; if you own your mistakes, resolve to improve, and follow through, you will find success. But if you make excuses and cast blame, expect to be called out for it.
