Pros
1. Autonomy - Organization gives you the tools and whatever is necessary to be successful, and does it without the needless micro-management so common in the industry. 2. Opportunity - Organization is open-minded enough to consider alternative and clever strategies to build and sustain business. They value opinion and listen to suggestions. 3. Compensation - No concerns here. Company is generous when it comes to total compensation and bonus opportunities and in kind, offers fair benefits, coupled with some pretty unique perks (wonderful NEW office space downtown in PHL, snacks, other intangibles, etc.)
Cons
1. Direction - There are times where the direction/directives vary like the wind, but that's not necessarily a CON per se, but instead at times, can be distracting. Map out a course, a strategy and follow it. Give it time to develop. 2. Culture - BUT getting much better. Company committed to getting the right professionals in the seats to build a culture based upon trust and respect for all. 3. Inner-Team Collaboration - The biggest opportunity for improvement may lie here. No real marketing strategy between how contract and direct, and/or IT and Accounting team function. Management by activity/committee seems to be the path now, but to grow the business, more eyes and ears going together into customers increases the potential for firstPRO to grow new business. Better oversight and expectation setting here would be a wise start.
