2. Intellectual curiosity is rewarded. If you love to read, consume media, tinker and make cool things, we’d love to chat.
3. We take our jobs very seriously, but we do not take ourselves very seriously. If you don’t have a sense of humor, don’t apply.
4. The CommPro mantra is #BeInspired. To us, that means living an inspired life, and bringing those experiences to your work, your clients and your team. While not a job requirement, we enjoy working with people who adopt this philosophy.
