Pros

1Micro is a very unique and special company for so many reasons. Some reasons include: - Innovation & Growth: 1Micro is continuously improving and expanding its products, services/offerings, technology, processes, etc. There is no better place for someone to learn, try new things, take risks, grow their skills and knowledge, and contribute to the success of an organization. - Collaboration: It's amazing to see and experience how so many different people and departments work together with the same goal. It's a great feeling to have your employer trust you and to feel comfortable sharing ideas, concerns, etc. - People: The people I work with are the best part of my job. I could not imagine working anywhere else because I wouldn't get to work with these people. Everyone truly cares for each other and will help no matter how busy they are. It's an incredible learning opportunity to work with so many different people. - Work-Life Balance: The people and company are very flexible and understanding. Again, everyone cares for each other and understands that rest is necessary and that your happiness outside of work is important.

Cons

Like any organization, there are areas that 1Micro can improve on, including: - Planning: Projects and other initiatives do not always have a clear plan, which can cause delays, push back other projects/tasks, etc. - Specialized People: The company is always improving, automating, etc., which is great. However, many of these new and innovative ways/technologies require very specialized people with the experience. Unfortunately, the company's location makes it difficult to attract the people with the type of experience and skills needed.

Pros

The people I work with are like family. The management is respectful and encouraging. We are growing so there has been so much opportunity to expand what my job has been. I am encouraged to try new tasks with a lot of support from management. I truly love this work environment and feel lucky!!

Cons

The only thing I can think of is that sometimes everyone is so busy, sometimes the answers come later than I want, but not truly a complaint.

Pros

The owner/boss is hardly ever there because he is always on a vacation.

Cons

Zero trust. Pay doesn't even come on time. Told to lie to customers in order to make sales. Used equipment going into new orders. No benefits. The owner spends every penny of profit on himself, his boat is made for the ocean but the company is based out of Minnesota. The employees are told they cannot have raises and no benefits as the company cannot afford it at this time, although boats and other personal items are being bought weekly by the owner. The business is made to look like a very trustworthy and great growing company but the truth is that it is far from that. The owner promises everything but not one promise is kept. The owner wants a centralized chain of command, nobody reports to anyone but him and it is very hard for him to manage a couple of things at once. It is always someone else fault at this company and the culture is so negative and tense. Everyone is always waiting for the boss to walk around the corner and start yelling at someone. The business is not kept up, the owner does not spend any money on maintenance and the place is so filthy that you will want to bring an extra set of clothes to work with you to change into before you leave.
