Q How has your role evolved at PearTree?
A As a legal assistant, I started with PearTree in March of 2015 to help out with reporting packages which then evolved into helping out with marketing, compliance tasks to then drafting all the Tax Shelter Applications, donor and charity documents and other various documents and tasks in the legal department which we call “the back office”. With our new document automation, my position will once again evolve. Looking forward to what that will look like.

Q What do you enjoy most about the work environment at PearTree?
A In my 20 years work in the corporate sector both globally and locally, I have never worked in such a warm and welcoming work environment. Being part of a team like being in an exclusive club. Sometimes it can feel as though it’s your team versus the world. You may have individual goals and targets, but ultimately, you’re all working towards “mission success” – you have shared goals and that’s what unites you. I truly believe that a positive work in environment starts at the top with leadership. At PearTree the leadership works hard to lead their Individual teams with support, communication and mutual respect. I feel very honored to be part of PearTree.

Q What do you enjoy most about the work environment at PearTree?
A The collaboration and community within PearTree is what I enjoy most about the work environment. PearTree truly welcomes each and every single employee with open arms and a strong sense of support from day one. In my first week at the company, I was thrown into the deep end as it was the same week our annual holiday party took place. The whole company gathered to celebrate, and what stood out to me was the genuineness, warmth, and friendliness of everyone. I felt instantly embraced by the company and the culture.
