Pros

I honestly cannot think of any pros with working with this company. I never actually received any of the things I was promised prior to being employed with this company.

Cons

I don't think I have ever worked at a company before where the owner literally screamed at me. This place...really blew my mind. Sometimes I had to take a second to think if I was dreaming or if this was really happening. The current owner is so disrespectful. He will yell and scream at you for things that didn't even involve you, or had anything to do with the department you work in. The hours are extremely long. I worked roughly 65-70 hours per week, not including the times I would have to work from home on weekends due to the new owners demands. I was never paid overtime either. Overall, my advice to anyone seeking employment here...don't!

I have seen a lot of success in my business ventures. This is my third start-up and it has taken off with product offering quadrupled, a new branded e-commerce site launched, and sales skyrocketing in less than a year. Quick and steady success like this is rare and doesn’t happen with a team who settles for “good enough” and watches the clock. One of the keys to this kind of success is finding the right people who are willing to work hard. I am transparent about this from the interview process on. Those who work hard find a great career with fast advancement because of the entrepreneurial environment and opportunities it brings.

Pros

- Coworkers that care and are supportive - You learn a lot about business - You learn a lot about yourself - There is always something to work on so no down time - If you are smart and work hard, there is no limit to what you can be or do here. - Great compensation and I love the health reimbursement plan which helps with the healthcare deductible - The team is lean and everyone's roles are integrated so you can see the impact your work makes on both the business and your coworkers every day. - It is impossible to be bored at this company. You are constantly challenged and stretched and are always acquiring new skills & new ways to think about things.

Cons

I don't think these are cons, so much as they are things you just need to be prepared for. - The company is growing so quickly that your to-do list is longer than you are tall. Sometimes this can be challenging but you just have to remind yourself that you ARE making progress and getting better (because you definitely are). - The work environment is very fast paced, ever-changing, and demanding. As such, you need to be thick-skinned, flexible, and open to learning something new. You also need to be able to work quickly and juggle a lot of priorities. If you lack any of these abilities/qualities, you will have a tough time. - There are sometimes communication breakdowns. Everyone is working so hard to get everything done that they sometimes don't stop to check with each person that might be impacted.
