Why work at EK Management
- Culture: Very small, founder-led firm with a mission-driven focus on improving people operations for clients. The culture is described as “looks out for the small man” and treats customers like family (per Indeed reviews).
- Work Model: Remote/hybrid; the founder is based in Wisconsin/Indiana but travels frequently to client sites.
- Notable: Since the firm is a solo consultancy, “working here” typically means either partnering with Erica directly or being placed as a permanent hire through her recruiting services. The careers page on jobs.gem.com lists openings for client companies (not for EK Management internal roles). Ideal for someone who values autonomy, deep client relationships, and variety in day-to-day work.
