Above all else though, my advice for anyone looking to work at HC Brands is very simple; you have to want to be here. It won't be enough to show up to the interview and be capable. We are a small company with extremely talented people who creatively solve unique problems as they arise.  There will be times when we all just have to take a deep breath and dig deep to get the job done. We're looking for talented people with the appetite for that challenge.

Do your homework. Look at our website, our blogs, and our products. Get to understand what we're about, and come to the interview with that insight ready to tell us how you could play a part in that success. 

Benefits:

We care deeply about making HC Brands an amazing place to work, and invest a significant amount of time and energy into creating and maintaining a company culture that provides our team with a level of support while inspiring them to do their best work.

Beyond the tangible benefits though:

• You will be part of a growing team whose purpose is to create a culture that underscores connections with employees, customers, businesses, and each other.

In response to this challenge, we’ve made it our mission at HC Brands to prioritize people and relationships—one custom order at a time. It’s not just a clever blurb on our website or a catchy acronym we pass around the office. It’s what we do, and more importantly, it’s who we are.
