Pros
Let be realistic, not everyone is the type of individual who can handle, or is willing to work for a start up company. When I was first hired, I was asked multiple times during my interview if I could manage working for a start up. Since it was my second career related job, I said yes, not knowing 100% what I was getting myself into. None the less, I was pleasantly surprised. For the first time ever, I felt like I had a voice within a company and could make an impact.
The reason I left my last job was because there was no opportunity to grow internally. I feel that the lack of opportunity for individuals is a common reason they leave their job, along with bad culture.
This company has made changes as we grew, but they were to best suit the needs of the organization. We have been restructured internally a few times, but it was for the betterment of the company. Every director and executive (past and present) has been someone I really trust, could rely on, and communicates well with. Everyone has your best interest in mind, as well as considering the well-being of the company.
Overall, If you want to be able to scale with a company and have impact on structure and processes, this is the place for you! Culture is key with this company and I have had an amazing time working for the company. They have really helped me succeed and developed me as an employee.
Cons
Job interferes with work- life balance because of all the time dedicated to growing the company
