Pros

They are an up and coming company with fast growth and lots of potential.

Cons

The owner micromanages the company as if it is still a 20 man operation. The policies are basic and not written down, so they change often, as every department has a different view of said policies. In most cases, there is a total lack of policy. Some managers are tyranical and like to threaten employee positions. The benefits and pay are typically behind the average curve. Vacation starts 6 months after becoming a direct hire, and insurance coverage starts 3-4 months after being hired (typically 3 or more months after being a contractor)

Pros

Working here has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I’m empowered to make my own decisions without being second-guessed, which allows me to truly drive meaningful change. The team I work with is phenomenal—collaborative, supportive, and passionate. I feel like I’m making a real impact every day and contributing to something that’s scaling in a big way. It’s rare to find a role where you have both autonomy and influence, and I’m grateful to be part of it

Cons

Staffing can be a real challenge. Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be. You wear many hats such as food catering and procurement can be especially demanding in busy seasons. The business is market-driven, the volume swings can be intense. It’s tough to staff appropriately without putting strain on the team. Still, if you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving tough problems, there’s a lot of opportunity here.
