Best company I have worked for so far! - Anonymous employee XpresSpa Employee Review

I work directly with the CEO and senior management (of both XpresSpa and the parent company), and they are a great team: down to earth, respectful and encouraging of work/family/life balance, innovative and constantly thinking of new ways to grow and expand the business. They are very mindful of maintaining a great company culture with continuous ideas of team-building events, activities, and meetings. Under previous ownership and management, the culture was not so great, but I see firsthand how hard Ed and team are working in genuine effort to turn it around, and it is certainly working. I have worked in other companies that thrived on negativity and only acknowledged the wrong, and it made for a very toxic work environment which carried out in everyone's work and the customers/clients they faced on a daily basis. (This can truly affect employees' moods and they can take it home with them at the end of the day.) XpresSpa's CEO Ed Jankowski makes sure to express his appreciation for people and acknowledge their work and achievements, and that really contributes to a high employee morale. This is why I feel good coming to work everyday. Ed is intelligent, extensively experienced, as well as a great problem-solver and decision-maker- he is a stellar leader and I love working with him. The CEO of the parent company told me something when I started that truly started me off on the right foot and is something I will always remember: "I am so glad you are here." More employers need to be saying this, because the more an employee feels appreciated, the more happy and productive they will be, which will surely be reflected in their work.
