What are some social events your company does?

There is something every day, whether it’s a birthday, work anniversary, wine wednesdays etc, we really know how to celebrate wins and milestones! My favorite would probably have to be our Halloween Party because it's such a creative space where everyone dresses up. We always have such great time having good food, music and fun!

Mayla

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

To keep up with the demand to learn! People here have a real hunger to learn & grow with us - they are super curious. We are to find where the learning gaps are & to pinpoint what we are trying to solve, whether it’s with our Manager Training or Continuous Education Program. Learning is ingrained in everything we do & we support it all the way!

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

What I appreciate about AMP is that we encourage collaboration & what we call 'creative conflict.' That, combined with an openness to take on feedback & a great team, creates a unique environment that continues to push boundaries & challenge ourselves. It's not easy to continually drive for innovation, but our culture doesn't accept the status quo.
