Pros
People Care. All the way from ownership to internship. It is common to see the lunch area filled with people - from all departments and every position - sitting together and just having fun non-work related conversations. The owners eat with us every day! If feels odd to refer to them as the owners because they don't separate themselves in that way - they hang out, know our kids names, talk about vacations, and when they ask how we are - they REALLY want to know! My team is an amazing group - top level talent - and no one is better than another. Egos are left at the door (if they exist) and they all want to work towards the common goal. Getting it done is the number one priority and "not my job" is a taboo attitude. Leadership will have a conversation with you if you can't get on board with the train in motion!! Final thought is the effort put towards after work hang outs. My direct boss said once - you will be more willing to answer the 2 AM call, when the server is down, if it's your buddy calling rather than just a guy from work. In that light we have a culture club that puts together really fun events to get us together outside of work - where we can really let lose and have fun. We have been to the indoor go cart racing, several games with our professional leagues, and catered lunches! Looking forward to a great new year!
Cons
Benefits are the number one conversation right now. We have grown at an unbelievable rate and the logistics of the administrative side has not been able to keep pace. They are working on it and should have this resolved soon but vacation, 401K matching, and bonus structure need to be addressed sooner than later.
