Frequently Asked Questions
What do I wear? As we pursue excellence in all that we do, our standard dress is “smart casual” attire that combines well-fitting, polished casual attire with christ like standards.—think polo shirts, button-downs, appropriate t-shirts, chinos, jeans, and polished, practical footwear. Wearing all black is preferred. No bright colors or distracting patters or designs. If you ever have questions or are unsure, you can ask your Team Lead or Dream Team Director.
