WHY 45Drives? Full disclosure, we work a little differently around here. This isn\xe2\x80\x99t another job where you punch in and punch out, we come to work everyday because we wish to earn a living in a meaningful way. We believe too many people exist without finding joy and meaning in their everyday jobs. We spend at least 1/3 of our lives working, so to do this and not be fulfilled or find purpose is just wrong. We create workplaces where our people want to come to work in the morning and feel good when they go home at the end of the day.
Does this sound like something you would like to be part of and help grow?
