I just spent a great two months at TCHO. I came home from a less-than-perfect semester abroad in mid-June, slightly disenchanted. Disenchanted is a perfect word to describe what I was, because working at TCHO showed me that enchantment can exist even in the world of business.
I’m pretty sure that it comes across to our customers by the way we speak about TCHO at events, on the website, and on the phone to customers, but this place is a downright awesome place to work. I can’t wait for TCHO tasters (you) to come to the factory and take a tour, and get a little taste of what it’s like to work here.
Maybe some details would go well with this gushing. How’s this: there’s not one person I’ve met at this company that isn’t excited by working here. Honestly, the passion that every employee has for TCHO chocolate and what it stands for (to put it simply: making great chocolate, and making the world a better place) is completely visible and completely contagious.
Of course, every job has its boring moments (long afternoons of stuffing chocolate into envelopes or building gift boxes come to mind), but even these were shared with other employees (read: interns), and therefore infinitely more enjoyable.
In a purely TCHO tech-obsessed twist, I’m making this my goodbye letter to my wonderful colleagues at TCHO. I’m making it public to show everyone else who reads this blog that not only does TCHO make phenomenal chocolate, but behind that chocolate is an enthused, dedicated team of real people at Pier 17.
Of course, my “goodbye” is qualified by air quotes (until we get into video-blogging, you’ll have to make do with text quotes). I plan on bringing TCHO back to school, nudging my peers into tasting the difference between our chocolates, and holding pairing parties, as well as helping to tell the stories (via e-mail) that make TCHO the company that it is. And I’m sure I’ll be back over Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.
So until then, TCHOsen ones, it’s back to school (or whatever).
Until then…
