The environment at Tuckernuck is particularly amazing. At Tuckernuck the brand and culture are one in the same and authenticity is at the heart of everything, so they really practice what they preach. Tuckernuck relays heavily collaborative work, prides themselves on working very hard, but also having fun while doing this. The tone and culture I have described stems directly from the leadership of the founders and trickles down to everyone else. They also want to ensure that everyone is getting the most out of their experience at Tuckernuck. During the summers they have started a program called lunch-and-learn. Each week a different head of the department gives the office a presentation on what their role is, how they fit into the Tuckernuck brand, they connect to a theme or lesson, and then it opens up for a Q&amp;A. What is great about these is the entire office stops what their doing and comes together to eat and learn. This may seem small, but it really makes Tuckernuck and the leadership there special and unique. The other day the 3 founders actually had a private lunch-and-learn with the interns. They explained how they got to where they are now, the business model, goals, next steps, and really the ins and outs of the business. As an intern you don&#8217;t necessarily think you&#8217;d have much interaction with the heads of the company, but they took time out of their busy schedules to make sure we were learning. At Tuckernuck leadership is not about titles. Everyone works together and a lot of the departments overlap. Yes, there are people who have higher positions than others, but at the same time everyone is really put at an equal playing field, everyone has a seat at the table, and everyone&#8217;s thoughts and ideas matter.<\/p>\n<p>What I have noticed above all else is that the leadership at Tuckernuck has created more than just a successful company and business, but also created a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuckernuck is a female run company and employs mostly females.
