Pros

It's a small company, so you learn a lot, fast. And you have multiple responsibilities even early in your career there. The employer cares a lot about the wellbeing of his employees. You are likely to be head-hunted by larger organizations like the Ontario Ministry of the Environment once you have a few years of experience under your belt.

Cons

It's a company made up of primarily old men, and sexist jokes are not uncommon. If you don't like talking about hunting or how people experiencing homelessness are awful, then it might be difficult to connect with your team. The company is dying. The owner is very intelligent, but will likely retire within ten years and bring most of the knowledge needed to run the business with him. Worse, the only person who understands the IT infrastructure of the company is ~80 years old, and there is nobody ready to replace him. When he leaves, it's hard to imagine a scenario where the company survives.

Pros

There are pros to working at this company, but they seem to be getting fewer and fewer. They offer company wide flex time - but it depends on who your supervisor is whether you can take advantage of. Supplied workwear - that most hate and want to get rid of. Paid time off between Christmas and New Years. Friendly co-workers. Nice work environment.

Cons

Depending on which department you are in, the manager is a micro-manager. There are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. Non-exempt salary positions that require clock in and out so they can monitor your hours worked, but don't pay overtime for entitled hours. They offer company wide flex time - but it depends on who your supervisor is whether you can take advantage of. Supplied workwear - that most hate and want to get rid of. Not enough staff to feel comfortable taking earned time off. No one to fill in. No teamwork between departments. Each department is only looking out for themselves instead of the customers. Very little room of advancements.
