Thanks for taking time to provide your input. It’s true that, as you’ve noted, our culture here encourages work-life balance. It’s unfortunate to hear that you don’t feel you’ve been given the support needed to achieve that. Economical is undergoing an exciting and seismic change in every aspect of our business. As we work toward demutualization and an IPO, the demands here can be challenging, exciting and rewarding at the same time.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to HR Shared Services with your concerns so we can work together to address them. Employees like you make such a difference to our success and we want to assure you that you are valued and listened to.
Here's something fun: Petline hasn't launched yet but they've already made me a better pet-parent.
Now certainly, "become a better pet-parent" wasn't one of my goals when I accepted the role, but I've been surprised a few times by my personal growth since I joined the team.
On career goals I'll say this: to the credit of the management team at Petline, they've recognized talents and areas I where I thrive before I did. I've been given opportunities that I didn't expect and for which I am deeply grateful.
Back to pet-parenting, Petline is a startup and every person at this company is heavily committed to our mission and goals. Just working alongside like-minded folks has made me consider who I am as a pet-parent. I know my pets better than I did before and I know they are happier for it.
Petline won't always be a startup, but I'm confident that as we move forward it will be with integrity and the intention to foster an environment where individual strengths are recognized, and weaknesses are supported.

Petline is a startup and anyone familiar with the concept should know that it takes hard work, a lot of brainpower, and constant flexibility. It can be hard to accept and frustrating when business decisions seem to flow and change like water, but it's rewarding.
It might not be for right for everyone, but when it's right, it's right.
