Pros

Mangrove is a privately held, 20 year old software company that is very compassionate of it's employees. They fully understand work/life balance and I am amazed it how generous they have been to employees regarding home life. The software is amazing, competing daily against powerhouses such as ADP and Ultimate Software who are companies literally 100 times the size of Mangrove. Mangrove is a small business with the lions' share of employees between 2 offices, Tampa, FL and Vernon Hills, IL. Both offices have under 50 employees - you pretty much get to know everyone like a "family". Me personally, I love it. If I am going to be at the office 50 hours per week - I want to enjoy being there. I have been with Mangrove for 3 years and I can say they have been the happiest of my professional career. I worked for ADP for 5 years - so that is saying something. The management is very approachable and is very transparent. If you have a good idea, they will tell you. If you have a bad idea, they will tell you. Zero red tape, zero BS.

Cons

On the flip side, there are some cons to working in a small I.T.firm. There is no "hiding" or trying to "blend in" to avoid work. You will be held accountable for performing above and beyond a bare minimum. There will be times when you will need to wear multiple hats as in any small company. If you are not into that, and just want a "job", look elsewhere. This is not a factory or an assembly plant. You will meet great people but you HAVE to pull your weight. If you read the sign on the wall it says "help wanted" meaning they need you to help the company grow. They owe you nothing but an opportunity. If you are looking for elaborate training, someone to hold your hand, complete monotonous daily tacks in exchange for a paycheck look elsewhere.

Pros

The culture and the people is what makes this place different from other companies. You can't help but get excited about the energy and the work that is being done. It is truly a fun atmosphere. You get to know the owners, they joke with you. You work with every department on multiple projects - so you get to know everyone in the building. Its your choice of what you want to make of your job. If you want to be a stick in the mud, you can be. If you want to enjoy what you do for 8 hours - its your choice - but the management team and other co-workers are here to work, and help you in any way.

Cons

I see a lot of negative reviews on here. If you aren't happy at Mangrove, why don't you get another job? No one is forcing you to stay. There are other places you can work. The owners are not bad people and saying you disapprove of the CEO when you don't even know him is quite ridiculous. If you have issues with your manager - that's what HR is for. GROW UP, be an adult and stop bashing a company just because you don't get your way. A lot of us are sick of hearing you complain.
