Great Place to Work

Pros

It's a small company so everyone knows everyone and is pretty close. The CEO works right along side the employees and knows everyone by name. They are very flexible with schedules, especially if you have a family. They make every employee feel welcome. We have monthly meetings with lunch provided and get yearly raises and bonuses. Job description is very satisfying if you like customer service. You get to talk to Franchise Owners on a daily basis and build a relationship with them.

Cons

You hardly get recognized for your hard work. I don't expect a reward for doing my job, but just a simple phrase of, "You're awesome! Good job for handling that" would be nice, just to know I'm appreciated. Inequality between employees. All the moms in the office get to work either a few days or full time at home. When I had my kiddo, I was denied to work from home 1 day, even though I could do my entire job from home. Don't approve it for other employees and reject for one. Company has health benefits, but they're not that great. Not a lot of room for advancement within the company, but you're eligible for a raise every year.

Pros

Working for this company only gets better over time. This is one of the first places that I have worked at that each day I love my job more and more. I look forward to being around the people I work with and doing my job. I feel respected, valued, and strongly feel as though management has me in their best interest. I know that my hard work will be rewarded and that career advancement is in my reach. I have found that this company is extremely flexible with my schedule and is an amazing place for students to get real world experience and start their career, but still get reasonable pay. They work around your school schedule. I feel as though the outlook is as long as you get your job done and you work the amount of hours a week you are suppose to, you are fine.

Cons

It is still a small company that is growing, but they are growing quickly. They are, however, good at addressing their problems and searching for a better solution.

Pros

As other reviewers have mentioned this is a family company. With that seems to come a great sense of fidelity. Turnover rates are fairly low, and every manager was promoted from within. Frequently someone will be hired for a certain job but then be allowed to follow their passion into another department. I work a 40 hour work week except in rare cases. Holidays are pretty standard and becoming more generous, as is PTO. In the past two years I've been here, my salary has increased by 40%: Not many companies will salary chase employees in this way. 401k matching available. Health insurance is a cafeteria plan (you pick the plan) subsidized based on age and family size, in my case it worked out to about 50% subsidy.

Cons

Being a fairly small company (running on the profits of selling used clothing) BaseCamp Franchising can't really compete with the benefits offered by companies like Vivint and Adobe. Even if you pay for the most expensive health insurance option and leave the hospital a day early, a standard birth still costs a few thousand dollars. I see this more as the crummy insurance market than as any fault of BaseCamp. Founding family has a resale/retail background so occasionally they interact with employees in ways that seem unusual if you are used to a corporate environment.
