Pros

First and foremost, the people are FANTASTIC. I have never worked with such smart, motivated, kind and fun people. Its wonderful. Plus everyone is 100% dedicated to the mission and that is so powerful. I also feel empowered by my job...I am part of a growing trend and company and I CAN contribute and bring ideas to the table even though I wasnt there from the beginning. Its so inspiring to go to work EVERYDAY!

Cons

Nothing...its just growing fast so some things can always be slow to develop but nothing that causes any big problems.
