The Culture

The best thing about working at CNOC is:

As a small company, every person's opinions, thoughts, and input is sought after and expected – including our customers. While each employee has their defined role, everyone jumps in wherever they are needed to get the work done.

When we’re not working, we’re:

Planning our next trip, spending time with our families, hiking, backpacking, bikepacking, hammocking or drinking beer.

What we’re reading:

Gear reviews and stories about backpacking, bikepacking, hammocking or beer making. Also, science fiction.

What we’re listening to:

Devan's playlist, Backpacking podcasts, or Israeli Metal.

If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:

Sure, Let’s See What Happens

Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:

Inclusiveness everywhere matters. For us, the outdoors is where we recharge and are most happy - being outside makes us better. We believe that everyone should be able to experience and enjoy the power of the outdoors, regardless of their abilities or skin color. We think that more people, spending more time enjoying the outdoors will make the world a better place.

Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:

We can afford to offer every employee a 6-month sabbatical for completing a thru-hike.
