      I so totally enjoy videos like this. I can really relate to Dash. I too suffer from some issues, that make me seems unable to socialize and function. I am picked on for things I say and how I act. I have wicked add and I am a major invert due to the harsh bullying I delt with in school and in life at jobs. It's has to be wicked sweet to work for such awesome ppl man. The game is changing and it is the employees turn.

    I would actually love to see more of this from the employees. I love listening to Cory but this was also interesting to see how the stores runs from different points of view as well.

      It is kind of weird sing Cory in any videos since he is never in the store. At least any time I have gone.

    I always shop here and the staff is extremely helpful. Their customer service is amazing. They greet you when you walk in, acknowledge that you exist, give you time to look around, follows back with you and answer all questions you may have. They make great suggestions on what is best for your tank. They never try to sell you on things you don’t need. I only shop here for my aquarium needs. Amazing staff.

    I thoroughly enjoyed "getting to know" all y'all. I work for a great company where we enjoy each other as well. It makes a great difference in life satisfaction. I enjoyed the flow of the video - three favorite fish, random comments, daily tasks, all. Great job professionally done! 🌻🍄

    @casaflamingoaquatics6348 2 года назад +6

    I've been a fan and customer for years now and I have a background in media, so I'm serious when I say this is the best AC video I've seen. The best company video I've seen. Well shot and edited. You allowed the personality of the staff come through in a natural way while showcasing the company values/culture and highlighting a number of products. Damn good video and as a customer it made me feel proud and good to support this business. Golden.
    Cory maybe an expert in fish keeping but his true talent is obviously in building a business by attracting and retaining a dedicated staff. Well done.

    I really enjoy this sort of content. It puts a face to names I've heard in other videos, and gives welcome insights "behind the curtain" at the coop so to speak. I'm a new member, long time lurker. After watching the live stream from 2021-01-06 I was inspired to join. Keep energizing the hobby with all your great works.

    To answer Jimmy’s question at the end of the video, YES! Please make more videos like this. It allows all the rest of who can’t visit the store to vicariously be there and to meet and get to know the employees. Very well done Jimmy!

    Love your store, fish and products. Your staff is amazing and Brandon has been my go to with my re-emergence into the aqua hobby. Your store has never let me down from the quality of plants and fish. In store and online ordering has been a wonderful experience too. I really appreciate everyone there and the level of care they put into the quarantine of the fish, plants and cleanliness but also helping and taking care of me all the time, thank you!!!

  • @nataliebarroga6682
    @nataliebarroga6682 2 года назад +1

    It was fun to hear from the employees! On my two roads trips up there since getting into fish two years ago, I’ve always had awesome interactions with all of the staff!
    It was nice to hear from Thatch about being neurodivergent since I’ve recently discovered I also have ADHD - I enjoyed hearing from a fellow neurodivergent who is open to talking about their mental health and just part of what makes them who they are! It’s also awesome to hear that this company is supportive of its employees for both physical and mental health ❤️
    Hope I can road trip back up again to get more fish and see this crew again soon!

    I discovered Aquarium Co Op thru you tube. Now I order from them online and am always so pleased with their products and love the stickers I got with each order. Living on the other side of the country in PA they always shipped fast for me. It was so nice to see a video of some of the employees at work. I wish Aquarium Co Op could open up shop on the East Coast...southern PA to be exact lol! There isn't a store like it around here unless you wanna drive 4 to 6 hrs away. Anyways great video guys! 🙂

    This is a Co-opy video. The sum of everything together is greater than the sum of the single parts. The Coryfication magic is working. Genuine people, how-to tips, how-does-it-work info. The many Co-op inventions and gadgets speak volumes. Open, curious, welcoming, knowledgeable staff with a genuine interest in the hobby. The video maker share the same attitude; being open to different personalities, making contribute to the common task. Thank You.

    I loved that intro shot! What stands out after years of watching Co-op videos is that this is a cohesive story, its a well structured mini-doc about the store. Like the Peru trips earlier this year, just wonderful. I can't wait to see what's next. Keep up the great work. I love that the channel continues to elevate what and how it messages while holding true to its values. Great work team.

    • @jimmygimbal

  • @wolfdenaquatics3996
    @wolfdenaquatics3996 2 года назад +1

    Absolutely dig these kinds of videos! It's really nice to get to know the employees a little bit. It makes the company/store more "real" and not just a storefront website to order fish food and plants from. You lose the family feel of the co-op a little when the only interaction you have is through online ordering because you are on the other side of the country, so it's nice. Watching the video felt like an in person visit to the store.

    Love the fact that you guys have such a variatie of team members. Especially people like Thatch who are neuro divergent. I am dyslectic and have ADD (similar but without hyperactivity) myself. Although I take some meds for it and have lots of support from my friend & family, the struggle in day to day life isn't always understood by the greater public.
    So kudos to you co-op
    If possible show her this message and tell her she'll never be alone with her problems, we are never alone. Everybody has his quirks. Just look at all the oddball fish in the world who are just doing fine ;)

    This was fun to see the co-op team. I live in Hawaii so will probably never get to come meet you all, so this was nice way to “meet” the team 🙏🏽💗

    What a neat different video. I really like Thatch, she kinda reminds me of myself.

    Absolutely enjoy getting to meet some of the people and hear from them. I know algorithm probably won’t support a lot of these but I enjoyed it greatly
