Pros
There hasn't been a day that I don't feel challenged as an individual or a professional. We've transformed into a "who are you" to a formidable competitor in the space. Moving to a more structured and process-oriented environment has been challenging and rewarding. You get the best of working for a small and nimble company to learning how to install systems and processes to drive repeatable and consistent outcomes. The clients are great and fun to work with. My roles has changed several times, as expected when you've been with the company over six years. To me, that is one of the best pros about working at Businessolver. There are a lot of growth opportunities within the company. The industry is on fire and the services the company provides is in high demand. The perks are nice. There are a lot of family oriented gatherings (just signed up the kids for an Easter egg hunt) and many volunteer opportunities. All in all, this has been the best place I've ever worked. It's not easy to grow a company and meet the growing demands of the market. I've worked at larger corporations and there are many pros to those companies too. You have to be comfortable with change and growth or things can turn into a "con" quickly. There is a vibrant and "alive" feeling when you walk the halls. There is a buzz and excitement always going on. Occasionally you'll hear the sales group cheering loudly and as they let everyone know what new client is part of the family, which is one of the most fun part about being in the office.
Cons
Every job has its cons and Businessolver is no different. The only major con I see is that some employees quit but stay with the company, which is the worst kind of disengagement. There are not bars on the window and Des Moines is fresh with job opportunities. Please leave. Most of you, if not all of you, are really good people. Maybe this isn't the place for you. Go in peace. Find a place for you. You deserve to find what many of us have found here. This is the best place for us and it's hurtful to see someone tear at the very fabric we're working so hard to build.
