Office Relationships 101

At Summit Consulting (Glen Burnie, MD) our coworkers are our like a second family! We stress the importance of camaraderie here because we believe that the fastest (and most enjoyable) way to achieve our goals is to do so together.

Being part of the Summit Consulting team means that not a day goes by without being challenged. We’re always in the friendly competitive spirit, and we push each other to do our best every day. Whether it’s a pep talk from a coworker, the threat of a pie in the face (yes we really do that to each other sometimes, and it’s amazing!), or just a high five for a job well done, we are on a mission to help each other get to the next level.

So, what’s our best tip for creating the same dynamic in your own office? It’s spending time together before and after work. Yes, you can build a relationship within normal working hours, but the strongest bonds are built over breakfast or a beer. Check out our Instagram to see how the Summit Consulting team bonds!

Learning about Our Employees’ Favorite Summer Activities

We asked a few of the Summit Consulting employees questions regarding their summer activities. Summit Consulting knows that there is more to summer than just work so we were curious as to what they had to say.

Play outdoor activities like cornhole. Also drinking nice cold beverages. Spending quality time with family as well.

David:

I like to take time in the summer to be outdoors. Whether it be traveling to see the many sites of Maryland or simply going out on the water, there’s no shortage of things to do where I live. Summer is also the perfect time to go out and be social with your friends. Personally, I always enjoy the local live music scene.

Jillian:

One of my favorite activities is to go stand-up paddle boarding! Doesn’t matter if it’s the lake, ocean, or bay, it’s always fun to go out on the water. Other than that, playing any type of backyard game or sport. Of course I cant forget having BBQ’s!

Cree:

I love kayaking and tubing; just being in and on the water in general! Kayaking is always great for exploring and the adventure of being on the water! At the end of every summer, I go tubing with a big group of friends and we spend the entire day floating down the river and stopping on large rocks to eat and swim. It’s always the highlight of summertime for me!

Tia:

I like to enjoy a snowball in the shade. (Rita’s will do also) If I am home I like to wait until the sun has gone down before I come out. While the sun is out, I like to surf the web for anything that comes across my mind. (Sought of how I found this internship) I would love to take a cruise and visit family down south this summer.

Ashley:

My favorite warm weather activities are exploring new places to take photographs and hike! I really enjoy sitting outside and reading in historic downtown Ellicott City while drinking an iced coffee from the Bean Hollow (local coffee shop). I specifically look forward to warm summer nights with a light breeze where I can eat dinner outside comfortably!
