Two (2) Month Probationary Period

Sundog Media is unique in that all our team members work from their own home office. However, along with this autonomy comes the challenge of being self-motivated, knowing when to ask for help from another team member and finding a proper balance between your work and home life. One important requirement is to ensure you have a space within your home dedicated to your work, which Cathy needs a photo of for our insurance company. Also, work out with those that share your home a set of rules and expectations so that you can be successful as a stay-at-home employee. To be clear, although in my estimate working at home is an amazing blessing and I personally love it, I also realize from experience that not everyone can handle it, and part of this probationary period is to determine if it fits your personality.

WHAT IS A PROBATIONARY PERIOD?

The probationary period is the initial 2 months of employment, a kind of “trial period”, during which the management team carefully considers whether the employee is able to meet the standards and expectations of the job and if the employee should be retained by Sundog Media as a “regular” employee. During this time, the managers appraises the employee’s:

  • Ability to learn and perform job duties
  • Quality of work
  • Productivity
  • Work habits
  • Cooperation
  • Reliability
  • Communication Skills
  • Other standards and expectations specific to the employee’s work situation

Note: If the employee is clearly not meeting the requirements of the job, the employee may be released at any time during the probationary period.

Alaska Mobile Veterinary Surgery
I was most impressed with how responsive the Sundog team was to our suggestions and how quickly changes were made.  When something wasn’t right, they worked diligently and very patiently to create the website we desired.  They have also continued to be responsive after the launch, providing information to help us help ourselves with regard to internet marketing.

We are so happy that we chose Sundog as our partner for our new website.
From start to finish the team was extremely responsive, they had great
customer service, and really worked with us when we had questions about the
process. Jeni, in particular, did a fantastic job keeping everything in
line and wrangled. I really enjoyed working with her. We are really proud
of the end product and can’t wait to utilize it as a more effective tool
for our business. I would recommend them to anyone looking for website
design in the future. Thanks to Joe and the team for a great experience!

Little Mouse Family

When my new book was ready for release, I needed a website that was not only spectacular and beautiful, but also accessible for visually impaired folks.  Naturally, I turned to my own team and they delivered in a big way.  Nothing compares to watching my friends with visual impairments light up as they access a site with easy navigation and full image description.  I’m so grateful to be a part of this remarkable team.

Starting a small business for the first time is very intimidating. Especially, if you recently retired and wanted to do something totally different. A big part of any business is getting your message out in a clear concise manner. Having the expertise of Sundog Media was the best decision I’ve made. . . .
