Pros

1. Friendly and helpful sales team, the best I've ever worked with. This is not your ordinary cut-throat "sales team", this is a real TEAM. 2. Competition is encouraged but not as important, you grow as fast as you want in the business. 3. This is not a JOB, it is a real career with great opportunities and exciting benefits (awesome clothes)! 4. Direct access to the CEO and President of the company. You are not a number in the books, you are a member of the family. 5. WORK-LIFE-BALANCE!

Cons

Very hard to find anything, if anything higher volume sales staff might benefit more from a sales assistant.

Pros

Easy to use CRM system. Since Balani is a small, family owned company, so you feel as though you work closely with upper management. Upper management welcome feedback and new ideas. Good sales incentives for professional custom stylists to hit targets. Fairly flat organization chart. Less structure than a large company, which empower staff to get things done quickly. Exciting, fast-paced environment. Hard-working colleagues. Upper management genuinely care about employees and their well-being.

Cons

For those in a staff position (as opposed to sales position) not much opportunity to progress within the company structure or financially, according to upper management.

Pros

I've grown at Balani; not only in my position, but also in my self-confidence. I really enjoy my current position, and how it has evolved over the years, but I mostly want to talk about the management here. I've been at Balani for a couple years now and have been given the opportunity to explore new job duties and really hone-in on my strengths. The best part of my job is my ability to make a difference and have my voice heard. Balani is growing quickly, but our team is small enough that I get to discuss my opinions and suggestions directly with the manager, President, and CEO. Management listens to my ideas and makes changes quickly and effectively. They respond positively to all feedback and really value my opinions.

Cons

You have to be on your toes and ready to adapt. Even though we make custom clothing, it's still fashion, so it is ever changing and evolving. I see this as a positive, but people who like a more consistent work day might struggle with this.
