Pros

Uncapped opportunity. Ability to effective change and contribute to the bottom line. Pressure and stress to deliver big results in a marketplace that didn't exist before us(this is good pressure and stress) Leadership team sits out with everyone. No offices for leadership team. A real feeling of working as a united team. New employees starting every week. I get to work with really smart people everyday. Has a decent benefit plan for the size and year of company. Has 401(k) in place. Stock options are granted to all employees! Competitive salaries. Free parking downtown!

Cons

Communication across all teams can get blurry at time, but it is recognized and continually improvements are being evaluated and rolled out. Benefit plans are OK, but know future plan will be more competitive based on company size. Would love to see a 401(k) match. Do not have our own office space yet, but know that is in the works and we will have one by next year. Have to deal with current annoyances of being in a shared space, which is manageable.

Pros

A dedicated team in every department every section, every inch of this company. Someone can help you. Management is responsive and engaged. Tech support is out of this world in how much knowledge they have.

Cons

Weather mainly, cant control it.

Pros

Freedom to mostly self-manage, occasionally get to interact with cool people and take pictures of cars for a living. Lots of daily driving also meant nice mileage checks, but heavy wear on my car.

Cons

99.9% of the work is photographing junk heaps that belong in a scrap yard and being encouraged to market them in better condition than they actually are, then the inspector is punished for any post-sale issues. Manager was a control freak while simultaneously being almost entirely absent; I think I saw them in-person twice in the almost 2 years I worked there. Working in direct sunlight in extreme temperatures on blacktop with a phone that constantly overheats and most cars dont have working A/C on top of smelling like pure garbage.
