Pros

+Highly successful company generating high revenue with such a lean workforce +Employees receive quarterly profit sharing and awesome health insurance +Complimentary snacks in the kitchen +Employees are smart and motivated; most are very friendly +Good work/life balance. Majority of people leave the office by 5-6pm. +A lean workforce means getting your hands dirty & learning how to build processes from the ground up. You may receive a much better learning experience here than at large corporations.

Cons

-Quarterly profit sharing is presented as a “bonus” in addition to base salary, when in reality the base salaries here are below industry average, so profit sharing is a MUST in order to reach industry average -No HR department and inappropriate racist comments/sexual harassment situations are overlooked. There are no repercussions for an employee in upper management joking to two people speaking a foreign language that we are not in a nail salon. That’s only one example. -Lack of people development. Not much opportunity for career growth. There is no clear career development plan in place, so less seasoned employees tend to treat the company as a temporary pitstop in their career. No career matrix laid out for employees. The company tends to avoid promoting from within. Some employees who have been here many years have their dreams crushed when the company hires someone external instead.

Yes, there are pros and cons to working at a smaller (~100 employees now) fast-paced company. Generally, there is upward mobility in the form of increased job responsibilities and higher wages/bonuses as we grow as many employees have experienced. Management does value the contributions of every employee and managers (including and especially the CEO) are open to complaints and feedback of all kinds. The CEO's door is open to anyone who feels like they want to go straight to the top about any concerns.
