I don't really believe anyone truly loves customer service, but I think if it's something you'd like to do, evo is a great place to do it. While customers anywhere will always make a customer service job stressful (especially around Christmas), there is a lot of freedom to make things happen for people, bend policy, and work independently, which I think makes those stressful customers much easier to deal with. The job can be monotonous -- a lot of the same order issues, you'll find yourself repeating the same answers to a lot of the same questions -- but there are ample opportunities to chat outdoor gear with customers, which I think is fun, and there are a variety of shifts (phones, chat, and email)  to break things up.

This is my first work from home job, but in my experience the culture seems good, the managers are fairly laid back, there is a good amount of room to work around your schedule and get shifts that you would like, at least during the non-busy times of the year.

A couple of downsides: it does feel like in order to move up the ladder at evo, there is an unsaid expectation that you will do things outside of your job description. Not some massive burden of extra unpaid work, but there is kind of a culture of being expected to take on extra responsibilities with no immediate benefit in terms of pay or otherwise.

I also have felt that at times, management or other teams make decisions that give customers negative experiences, and the customer service team is left doing all the explaining to the customers.

The team at evo Denver included dedicated colleagues who worked hard to maintain operations despite challenging circumstances. The company has a strong brand in the outdoor retail industry, which initially made it an appealing place to work.

My experience as a supervisor at evo Denver was marked by significant challenges due to unclear expectations and lack of managerial support. The General Manager provided vague feedback about performance without specific guidance or actionable goals, making it difficult to meet expectations. I was excluded from regular supervisory touchpoints, which limited opportunities for coaching or development. Additionally, the location operated without a general manager for months, leaving supervisors without adequate resources or support from headquarters, which created operational difficulties. Disciplinary actions, such as a written warning for a shared responsibility, were applied inconsistently without prior verbal warnings or a performance improvement plan. The lack of clear communication and due process, particularly around performance evaluations, contributed to a challenging work environment.

Evo is a wonderful place to work whether it is a seasonal opportunity you are looking for or a year round job with room for education and advancement. As a seasonal worker, the hours and overtime are all but guaranteed. The environment is fast-paced and hard work is rewarded with year round employment if you choose to stay. As a year round employee there are always opportunities for you to learn something new or advance  your career. The workplace environment is outstanding. The people that work in this building are the reason I come to work and work so hard everyday. The company and its employees have made me feel like a member of a family from day 1. On a personal level, my wife has had 2 kids since I started working at Evo and not only is the paternity/maternity leave benefits top notch but the company and my coworkers has made my growing family feel like part of the Evo family as well.

Worked as a standard seasonal employee in the Sumner warehouse.  Duties included everything from checking in new product to getting it on the shelves in the warehouse, and also picking the product and shipping it.  Pretty much every step of the standard retail warehouse workflow.  Very busy during the holiday rush which was frustrating for some of the other seasonal employees but it is what it is, it is a growing company with a ton of sales.  Hard to get on full time but that is to be expected.  Perks are great for a seasonal employee that enjoys any of the activities that EVO sells products for.  Pay could be better but that could be said for any warehouse job.  Only downfall for me was that there is a serious divide between the workers on the warehouse floor and the managers, who are situated upstairs in the building.  They only seem to make an appearance on the floor when there is something wrong or if the owner or shareholders are present.  Again, that is to be expected at any big company.

Overall, it is an enjoyable place to work. I've made some lifelong friends with coworkers. Laid back vibe typically & good that remote work seems to be a permanent option at this point. You usually have to wear many hats & take on additional tasks/responsibilities, which is excellent for learning but can leave you feeling bogged down &  you aren't compensated for it. Work fulfillment & advancement can largely depend on what manager you have & how much they support/advocate for you. It is an excellent place to work if you're interested in the outdoor sports industry as you get good discounts on gear & you get to test out a new ski or snowboard every winter, but it also feels like it would be nice to update that benefit to a health-related stipend so workers don't feel pushed to participate in the winter sport if they don't feel comfortable doing so. Health insurance benefits seem to be getting progressively worse each year.

evo is a great place to work. While there are some growing pains, I never doubt the dedication and passion to make evo the best it can be. We have an extremely small technology team, which can lead to some frustration, but it also means every employee has massive impact. We are responsible for maintaining and creating new features across many different technologies and spaces.

The best part is definitively the people. Everyone is smart, dedicated, and fun. While the breadth of responsibilities can sometimes be overwhelming, we are often reminded that we "have big kid jobs at a toy store." This leads to a fun, casual culture.

Great work-life balance at evo, which makes sense given the nature of the business. TTO (Time Together Outside) is a priority. Leadership has recently become more willing to listen to feedback from employees, which is not a small thing. Some changes have been made already, which is good progress, even if they might be minor. Most, if not every person I've worked with has been low-ego, and power distance is also low (the CEO has a special talent for remembering names). 

Benefits and comp could definitely use a brush-up to be more competitive. More clarity around career paths would be nice as well. Some recent strategic HR hires have increased some transparency around both of these things though, and it sounds like they're are actively being worked on, so it's just a matter of being patient.

The company is headed in such an exciting direction and I feel empowered and impactful in my role. Lot's of collaboration across teams and a clear set of goals & objectives to feel successful. 

evo has great retention and many employees have been with the company for 10+ years, making it feel like a family. Lots of focus on bringing in and supporting a diverse work force with ERG groups and community impact initiatives & partners. 

It's very clear leadership puts building something special, unique and community driven over profits. It reflects how the business is run and the experience they give employees. 

The job is typically the same grind day-in and day-out, with the only change being the personality of the customers. Management is disconnected and won't go to bat for their team members, so you're on your own if you want, well, anything. Advancement outside of your own department is difficult since departments are so siloed.

On the bright side, most of the folks you work with also do cool things and are fun people, but you have to go out of your way to build connections. Nothing is going to happen on that front from a team-building perspective. The discounts on product are great, and the company does have very solid health insurance.

evo is an excellent company to work for if company culture is the primary consideration. I trust senior leadership's mission and am confident that they put their heart into achieving evo's goals. CEO and founder is an excellent role model and is extremely community focused. It is easy to buy into the mission and feel a part of it.

Work-wise, expect rough and unstable channels of communication between business units and to ask questions that no one knows the answers to. There are a lot of outdated practices and it is very hard to implement changes that challenge the status quo.
