• Hard Work: Come early, stay late, and give your best effort every single day.
• Focus: Work during work hours — no social media, no gisting, no laziness.

• Startup Mindset: Be ready to help where needed; no task is beneath you.

What We Don’t Want:

• Disorganized individuals who can’t handle multiple tasks and miss details in customer orders.
• Poor communicators who fail to engage customers professionally or resolve issues effectively, leaving customers frustrated.
• Procrastinators who delay responding to customers, fail to follow up on orders, or let issues escalate unnecessarily.

• Rude individuals who use condescending tones with customers or phrases like "You have to calm down"—we prioritize respect, empathy, and professionalism at all times.
• Impatient people who interrupt or dismiss customers’ concerns instead of actively listening and resolving their issues.
• Know-it-alls who argue with customers or try to "prove them wrong"—we believe in addressing concerns, not winning arguments.
• Arrogant individuals with uncontrollable egos who undermine teamwork and make interactions uncomfortable for colleagues or customers.
• People who talk down to others, whether customers, colleagues, or delivery agents—respect and humility are essential to our culture.
• People who lack accountability and make excuses instead of owning up to mistakes or taking responsibility for results.
• Those who think customers are not always king—at Vitalvida, our customers are always king, and every team member must reflect that in their interactions.
• Emotionally reactive individuals who lose their temper or become defensive when dealing with difficult customers or situations.
