Pros

It’s a smaller company, so there’s plenty of room to expand your knowledge and expertise of the various processes throughout the company. Has a smaller, family feel. Great benefits as well.

Cons

There are a lot of very knowledgeable and capable team members, but not without tension. There is constant conflict in all areas and departments of the company. Insecure leadership and constant fighting across departments really sets the company back and dampens the company’s true potential. Professionalism is also scarce with the constant excuse that “small companies are just this way”.
