Pros

Ability to make change and the ownership every employee is given in the company. We continuously look at improving the business and never satisfied with the status quo.

Cons

Sometimes senior management seems to worried about fighting fires and not fixing the root cause of the problem to permanently eliminate the problem.

Pros

Growth, good compenstation, great place to learn. Name recognition when moving on never hurts either, I received a pretty outstanding offer and the competition for the next level doesn't appear too fierce. As you get further up, the peope surrounding you get smarter and smarter until it's almost intimidating!

Cons

Very little initial training with lots of "tribal knowledge" to get through and somehow learn. The company is extremely data-criven, which allows them to make decisions, but sometimes it seems that people can get lost in all that information. The hours can be a bit tedious too. 60 hours is not uncommon even during medium-busy times.
