      I have been working at HERSCHEL SUPPLY COMPANY full-time

      Pros

      Company culture, it's a fun place to work as everyone is friends. The company is small enough still to be involved in a lot of different departments. Not a corporate culture at all. Also because it is small there are new challenges everyday, some people thrive in this, I like the fact that it's not monotonous. There are so many ways to explore and grow.

      Cons

      If you are looking for a consistent job where you do the same thing over and over this place is not for you. Also it is not structured like a corporation, so if you are looking for that it's not here.

      Advice to Management

      Continue looking for the best creative talent and people that are hungry for growth. I would tell people up front that this place moves fast, and if you enjoy an ever quacking pace then this is for you.

      I have been working at HERSCHEL SUPPLY COMPANY full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      -Energetic workforce that is generally very positive and encouraging (think the opposite of a draining workplace).

      -Pays on time - a lot of people think this is a given but you'll be surprised how bad other employers are about this.

      -Opportunity to rise as it's a growing company that is expanding organically. There isn't a lot of formal career progression mapped out, but I know they're working to fix this quickly.

      Cons

      -Being a younger company, some areas/depts don't have as much structure. However in other ways this is a positive (more flexibility, less red tape, more opportunity to craft your own change).

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you're doing. The company has grown rapidly and will start to plateau. This is where your resolve to run a stable ship will be valuable... also don't try to take the company!

      Advice to Management

      Invest back in your greatest assets: your employees. Although focus in growth, sales is crucial to the business; none of it would happen if it wasn't for the team that works under you.

      Pros

      Great culture. Many talented people working at head office. Very little ego, politics, finger-pointing, smack talking. Fast paced and multi-faceted but overall low stress.

      Cons

      Process and systems still need some work, as the company has gone from small to big very quickly. Sometimes a little chaotic with the lack of process.

      Pay is on the lower side of the spectrum compared to other companies in the same industry.

      Advice to Management

      Work on developing more structured processes and systems and consider implementing more competitive compensation packages in order to keep attracting and keeping awesome talent.
