About the culture
Evantage provides medical and dental insurance after 90 days. It also has workers train directly with the company president. All of its managers began with the company in an entry-level position. Evantage’s busiest days are Saturday and Sunday, so team members get to choose from Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday as a day off when they work a weekend day.
Employees say
"I am making a difference with developing and training people in a fun, fast-paced industry. I love being able to train and develop others."
"I am not stuck in the office each day, it gives me the flexibility to work remotely some days, visit with clients, and be in charge of my own opportunity."
"I love the company culture. Everyone is a family here, we are all here to help each other grow and develop."
