Growing but still strong to roots - VP of Accounting Cotopaxi Employee Review

Cotopaxi provides a strong sense of purpose that genuinely connects to day-to-day operations. The company empowers teams to build structure, improve performance, and drive meaningful change. ring my time here, Changes that have been made: strengthen team stability, elevate accountability, and implement processes that improved SLA performance, and enhanced safety. Leadership supports growth, and there is a real emphasis on building people and promoting from within.

The company is in the midst of a meaningful culture evolution toward stronger accountability and performance. As with any change, not everyone adapts at the same pace, which can create short-term challenges in team alignment.

I've worked at a number of companies throughout my career and having seen a number of different cultures and working styles, feel very fortunate to have landed at Cotopaxi. I felt like I should make a post here after a friend of mine pointed out our Glassdoor rating when I said I was having a great time so far. The people and team I work with are excellent. It's a healthy positive culture, there's no politics, information hoarding, or some of the other baggage that you can find. It's genuinely a great group of people trying to do great things for the customer and the company. The management team is accessible and generally very nice. I've worked with mercurial CEOs and crony executive teams who kept everyone on eggshells and would jump on people any chance they had. Cotopaxi is very, very definitely not that place. They seem thoughtful and try to do the right things but I also know that there have been some hard decisions made in the past year, and not everyone has been happy about them. My exec team member has been very open to hearing feedback and it seems like they're listening. So overall a great experience thus far and look forward to being here for much, much longer.

Honestly, the management team could be a bit more organized in planning more than a few weeks ahead to help everyone have time to do their best work, but this is one of the things that they're listening to and I feel like it's getting better.
