Black Bear Coatings & Concrete is a small company, but extremely busy, and we’re looking to add great people to our team!
We hire to our core values:
- Fail Forward – Failure is not a problem. The problem comes when we don’t learn from our experiences. Everyone fails, it is how we rise from the fall that matters.
- Road Less Traveled – A group of people that do NOT always thrive on the road well-traveled (corporate environments be damned) but have found a home here, together, having followed the road less traveled. We stick together, take care of each other, and work as a TEAM.
- The Extra Mile – We strive to go further and do it better than others. We stay a little longer, work a little harder, and put a little bit more into our floors so that they’ll reflect our efforts.
WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY THAT MAKES OUR TEAM LOVE BEING AT BLACK BEAR:
We strive to help people build lives that they want to live. We hire the right people that make up a great team, and then offer them the training and knowledge that they need to succeed and build a career that they can be proud of.
