Grocery TV
What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Grocery TV?
Grocery TV Employee Perspectives
Describe your company’s rule of thumb for flexible schedules — in one quotable line?
Monday, Wednesday and Friday are in-office collaboration days, while Tuesday and Thursday are office optional for deep focus at home.
What metric or policy shows it works?
Power Hours on non-office days give the team the uninterrupted focus time we need for complex work. It also helps people feel confident about taking that time without worrying they’ll miss an important meeting.
Which habit or tool keeps async healthy?
We focus on keeping context easy to find and up to date. Our Lucidcharts document core workflows and database schemas, and PR reminders help us keep them current. Project decisions live in our ticketing system, Linear, so information is right where people are working. The full tech team meets twice a week to share updates and talk through cross-functional topics, and we use a technology Slack channel to collect feedback and surface decisions so everyone stays in the loop.
What People Are Saying About Grocery TV
-
Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: The company uses a hybrid cadence with in‑office collaboration days and office‑optional focus days, enabling employees to choose where they work for different tasks. Support like home‑office stipends and fully remote roles for some teams further widens location flexibility.
-
Time Off Access: Policies advertise flexible time away with unlimited PTO, unlimited sick days, wellness days, paid holidays, and generous paid parental leave, making it practical to step back when needed. A return‑to‑work program and explicit encouragement to take time off signal that coverage is planned.
-
Mental Health Support: Resources include an Employee Assistance Program, grief counseling, and explicit mental health days. Practices like protected "Power Hours" and strong asynchronous documentation help reduce meeting load and cognitive strain.
