Pros
The culture of OwnLocal is enviable. The people here are some of the best around. Everyone is passionate about our joint mission and work incredibly hard to accomplish our end goal. Every single person here works hard and has a great time while doing it. I want to work harder, perform better, and stay longer because the desire for achieving excellence radiates. We also genuinely enjoy each other. There's not a single person here I wouldn't want to hang out with after work. We eat lunch with everyone, everyday and are constantly hosting team building activities and events. The culture that was created is also protected. Our interview process, while sometimes arduous, makes sure that each employee has a say in who we hire next. Everyone's vote is equally as important as the next and that's a pretty great asset.
Cons
It's hard work and requires you to leave your ego at the door. Every person does what it takes to accomplish the task at hand. Also, this isn't a 9-5. If those aren't for you, this isn't for you.
