Q&A with Renovo's Team

A:

"We need to know who we are working with. We need to understand them on a deeper level because at Renovo we value relationships. For me, I always make sure to treat everyone (team and clients) like they are my family. This industry is very relational."

A:

"I came to Renovo about 6.5 years ago with only a few years of sales experience under my belt. I now have a full team of Production Assistants that I am managing on a daily basis. If you put in the hard work and dedication, it does not go unnoticed. There is a lot of room for growth at Renovo!"

A:

“Some days, when most teams choose to work from home, it's a quiet place to get busy and focus on your work. Other days, when the teams come together, it's a fast-paced and collaborative environment. We listen to music, get lunch together and have valuable in-person meetings.”

A:

"Treating everyone with compassion and equity is the foundation for building a healthy workspace, and here at Renovo we live for teamwork and genuine connections".

A:

“Right now, there's a ton of energy amongst all of us, because each and every month we are breaking records. It’s so exciting to be part of this growth. We're also slowly coming back into the office from COVID and enjoying one another at the office; brainstorming and laughing in person vs. over Zoom, which is a much needed change of pace!”

A:

“The most unique characteristic I have seen within our product/service is our culture. The culture spans from the front lines to the C-suite, and our team’s desire to be “best in class” is fundamental. When we say #hustleharder, it means so much. Which makes Renovo stand out from it's competition."

We Are Proud.

What is our team saying? We have a 94% positive outlook rating on Glassdoor. We pride ourselves on being awarded as a top-rated workplace by The Chicago Tribune. Our team shares common goals and communicates often, fostering a positive environment that favors genuine connection.
