Pros
Words that come to mind: Love. Collaboration. Respect. Humility. Family. Patience. Ambition. Hustle. Authenticity.
You feel as though you're on the threshold, ushering in a new future for a channel that has remained stagnant for far too long.
Everyone is heard. Everyone contributes. Everyone supports each other in success and failure.
Management is so busy, but despite this, takes the time to support and encourage their teams. You feel ownership over your role, you feel enabled. You have the freedom to try things and see what happens. You can see your understanding, skills and capabilities growing as the company grows.
These things far outweigh the standard measures of what makes a company great to work for.
