Elmsdale, Canada Good Robot Brewing Full time

**ABOUT GOOD ROBOT**

Good Robot was founded by three friends who quit their careers to live and work together as they did in school. We celebrate camaraderie which is at the heart of everything we do. And, like the founders, we are misfits - quirky, eccentric oddballs who left careers in which we felt we didn’t belong to create a community in which we do.

The vision of Good Robot is:

- “To be the curators of our communities’ quirky beverage and food experiences.”_

Our vision and values were discovered by our entire team. We agreed that in everything we do, we are:
**Good-willed**: hospitable, kind, generous, and good-natured towards each other, our guests, our partners, and our communities

**Deliberate**: acting with intent and considerate of the impact it causes

**Trailblazing**: setting trends rather than following them (zigging when our industry zags)

**Quirky**: not off-putting, but deliberately eccentric, fun, and different - we are weirdos

**OUR CULTURE**

We can write out all the details of the job, but what is most important is for you to learn what it means to be a part of what we like to call our “island of misfits”. Here are some quotes from our current team.
- “Before joining Good Robot, I loved coming here to have a beer (or 2.or 4) and was always struck by the atmosphere of everyone in the building, especially the staff. Everyone was friendly, happy, and supportive, and seemed like they wanted to work here, have a good time, and were genuinely happy at their job. It made me seriously reconsider my “corporate” brewing job and shift my thinking around what I actually wanted to be a part of and what makes me happy. It was the best decision I ever made to leave the security of a big corporation to join a small, expanding company. I look forward to going to work, I contribute as much as I can every day to the success of this company because I care about my co-workers, I know they care about me and I want us all to succeed. We are all in this together, that is evident, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Sláinte”_
- Isaac, Packaging and Quality Manager
