Pros

First I must state that Johnny, our CEO is a stand up guy - So hands on and the smallest things will get him excited. The co-workers who are great to work with; Yet I can work from home or work on the third floor in the corporate office which is just a couple walking minutes from the beach. Lot's of growth and I have seen many people get promoted and promoted.

Cons

The company is going through growing pains and transformation of its business model can make things challenging. Our President and COO is cheap and she doesn't want to spend money, she always says, "No, we need to keep running on optimal resources so we can expand." Well we can't expand if we aren't spending the money on more staff.

Pros

Unlike other small businesses that I have worked for this company is pretty structured and organized they really have things together. Even with all the changes the company is making, these changes being made are clear and we are told way ahead of time. I love how the company will ask us for our feedback and input on these changes being made. Most new, small, or growing companies have make you work a lot of overtime but not here. We are expected to work our shifts and go home. Work-life balance is really important to our CEO and it is really enforced although if we have a good rebuttal for having to work overtime we can do it, but - it is frowned upon and the CEO said that in his letter in our employee handbook. HA! I love that!

Cons

Recently we have had some new openings pop up and Our CEO said they promote from within. Well, that's not 100% true, they did hire some people into promotional positions from the outside. I mean we know the company why did they stray away these last couple of openings?

Pros

I had my preconceived thoughts about this company when I came in for my last interview with the CEO. My thoughts were who is this KID running this company and am I wasting my time with this interview? Johnnie is no KID for sure and I see why he looks like one - This man is very happy and is always laughing and smiling. With that said, it's contagious and the happy bug attacks rest of us and makes coming to work fun. I am fairly new here to the company and I must say this company has a lot going on. Everything is fast paced and the company is changing constantly to reflect the growth the company is going through. I like how all the corporate managers are involved and are hands-on in the daily business operations. I also like how as a department head that I am given the freedom to run my department and how I am given the opportunity to run my department like I am the business owner. My ideas are heard and I am often told - I think it's a great idea and give me a action plan on how you want it to work. The medical benefits are great! I love the amount of holidays we are given. Lot's of celebrations and I love the family environment we have here.

Cons

I don't see anything yet....... I'm still pretty new here started working in March of this year.
