As a new-ish employee, I have found the onboarding process amazing! I've been able to get up to speed quickly but better, have had the chance to get to know everyone on the team (remotely too)!! I don't think I've laughed so much in a new role before and I'm excited for what's ahead.

Once I realized it was everything that they sold me on, I felt a sense of gratefulness. I am so thankful CN found me and I it. Like having a wonderful partner I feel secure, supported, safe to be myself and can contribute in a way that is meaningful.
Working at Creative Niche has impacted my life in so many ways. The biggest one is, allowing me the room to grow in my confidence - I'm seeing this confidence in all aspects of my life professionally and personally.
