Pros
To work for a CEO that actually cares about his business, his employees. We're a fast growing organization and always looking to grow. There are a lot of employees you can see are passionate about OSV and care about this company just as much as their family, willing to do anything for us. We have diversity within the workplace where most of our leaders below the executive group that represent different genders, different nationalities, different backgrounds and care about being fair.
The executives rolled out a company wide strategy and we're all held to the objectives. We have monthly meetings on where we stand on those objectives and congratulations are said to those that have earned it.
I have referred a lot of employees and they value my candidates as the right fit. I see a lot of my team members referring folks as well, that is respectable in a sense that if one cares about OSV to refer a trusted team member. I do feel we have a strong work/life balance at OSV, it is manageable for most when you know there are times we will have to work harder than normal. When there is a break, it is encouraged to take time off.
This is the first company where I can truly be myself without fear of someone telling me to not do that or don't bother mentioning a fix or change to a process. This has been one of the best companies I have worked for and I will stay as long as it stays exciting and I can continue to give my input.
Cons
This company is not for everyone. I have seen some team members that have the right skills join my team, but they just want their role to be a job. This is not just a punch in and punch out and collect a paycheck. It is a job that expects you to pull your weight as a family member.
