Pros
Work with amazing co-workers. Everyone gets along like a family.
Cons
Upper management seems disconnected from what’s actually needed at the local level to keep clients satisfied—we’re losing too many of them. It takes significant time and expense to start and finalize contracts, and delays are pushing clients to go elsewhere. There should be more flexibility to pursue smaller jobs so we can stay competitive with other companies.
While landing six-figure contracts benefits overall profits, it doesn’t always support employees in the short term. Those larger projects often take time to secure, and in the meantime, smaller jobs are what keep people working and earning a steady income. That consistency is essential for covering everyday expenses like food, utilities, and other necessities.
Relying on employees to use PTO or sick time to bridge these gaps isn’t sustainable—it eventually runs out. This leads to longer hours, fewer breaks, and little opportunity to rest or spend time with family. A better balance between large and small projects would help support both the company’s goals and the well-being of its employees.
