Expansions bring with it good opportunities for personal development and also travel internationally.
There is minimal management interference in your day-to-day work load and you just left to 'get on with it'. While this may not suit most people it is a refreshing change for me.

Cons

Legislative changes may kerb the current business model and things cold change overnight.

Open your minds about change

Pros

The manager I had was the best. This company also recognizes its employees with employee appreciation week and christmas party. It is a fun place to work and meet new people
