Pros

Annual company trip Christmas gifts In-house chef and barista

Cons

Move away from the "boys club" mentality that is evident throughout all levels and areas of the business. Invest in the support functions meaning that as the business expands, teams in such roles are not becoming swamped with additional work at limited capacity.
