Customer Support Agent
What You Can Expect:
We have a dynamic, laid back office with other funded startups. We believe the more fun and freedom an individual has, the more they create and contribute, and our office shows this. You'll also get to be a part of the early stages of a young company, knowing that you are helping provide what could be the best customer experience ever :)
What We Expect:
You LOVE talking to people, and and you're creative with ways to delight them. You can easily handle a phone call, 3 chats, and a barrage of emails, all while boxing up t-shirts to send out and compiling our daily reports. You have a tremendous drive to succeed, and you like discussing creative ideas on how to do that. You're eager to learn about the startup world, and you've had entrepreneurial ideas of your own. You plan on staying with us for awhile, because you love seeing projects through to the end. You have phenomenal communication skills, written and verbal, and you tackle problems head on.
