Pros

They treat you like a human and care for you.

Cons

Honestly, there are none. They trust me, I have freedom, no micromanaging, and I can give input and honest feedback on things I think can be done better. I can speak with the VP of sales or CEO directly. I can take time off as needed or wanted, so honestly, there are none.
