Some Advice For How To Be Successful at MBA:

We hire, promote and fire people based on these values. They act as a compass for all communications and decision-making.

• Think Like An Entrepreneur: Know the details of our business and understand how you impact our culture, work, and financial success.
• Adopt a Growth Mindset: Don’t settle or become complacent. Grow by taking advantage of opportunities to do work outside your comfort zone.
• Take Initiative: Do not wait for someone to tell you what to do. Act in the absence of specific direction. Be proactive and decisive.
• Act with Purpose: Focus on impact above all else. Know the intended result, find the most efficient path, and get shit done.
• Communicate Assertively: Proactively tackle difficult conversations with empathy and confidence. Give and request feedback in real time with helpful intent.
• Inspire Accountability: Embrace ownership of every task. Surface your mistakes. Share what you learn and use it to improve. Others will do the same.

While Optional, We Would Think It Was Cool If You Could:

• Run a 5k in under 25 minutes. We have 2 or 3 people who can do this, but we have a couple of Ironman athletes (including Max), a few marathoners, and a mountain biker who does 80+ mile races. Lots of yogis too.
• Solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute. We had an intern that could and it was mind-blowing.
• Compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. One girl competed in the Pan-American Championship, the largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament in North America, she's also one of our new Account Coordinators.
• Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our VP of Operations did this, only blacked out from high altitude and oxygen deprivation once. Nailed it.
• Be a world champion in anything. The youngest Yo-Yo World Champion in history worked with us for years.
• Start your own business. Max did... and one guy owns his own photography business...the rest of us are working on it.
• A snake shot (Foosball). Google it. No spinning.

Requirements

Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

• Excellent time management skills and the ability to effectively prioritize work.
• Ability to effectively work in a group environment.
• Proficiency in MS Office (MS Excel and MS PowerPoint, in particular).
• Knowledge on Shipping Software (FedEx, UPS, etc.) is a plus.
• Knowledge on Google Suite and Data Studio is a plus.
• Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premiere, etc.) is a plus.

Benefits

Work hard, play hard is slightly outdated and work-life balance implies some sort of struggle to do one and not the other. We think work should be a fun, beneficial, and enjoyable part of your life and that your life should be a fun, beneficial, and enjoyable part of your work. We try our best to provide benefits that make this a reality, and the daily transition and integration of work & life as seamless as possible.
