Pros

- Small family like atmosphere. You can tell the owners care about the well-being of each employee. - The ability to influence change and growth. There are not many places where the work you do directly translates to revenue. It is fun to see how your own actions influence the growth, or pain. of the company. You have the ability to make a real difference here and shape the company. - Relaxed atmosphere. The employees have fun here and upper management goes out of their way to try and make sure you feel valued and have fun while working. Lunch/dinner outings and potlucks are a common occurrence. - Trajectory is only up. This company is growing so fast it provides tremendous opportunity. - Management is heavily invested in the success of the company. Both owners have their personal finances tied up in the company which ensures their drive to continue the success and growth of the business.

Cons

- More work than can be accomplished. Since the company is growing so fast, we are often playing catch-up to stay on top of everything. As far as problems go, about as good as one to have. - There can sometimes be too many cooks in the kitchen. Management can sometimes step on each others toes and this can confuse and frustrate employees.

Pros

Plenty of work to do, reasonable and attentive management and ownership, company is in a state of rapid growth meaning more opportunity to rise to more lucrative positions as the company hires into the entry-level. Occasional bonuses for hard-working employees. Lots of company events (potlucks, holiday parties, etc.) Compensation is very fair, and management is open to listen to any employee concerns. Contrary to prior review, there is in fact PTO, accrued 2 days per 3 months worked up to 8 days annually, available for use up to 1 year after accrual. Management/ownership works just as hard as staff does, and leads by example and not by command. Very friendly and helpful staff. Feels more like a big team than a workforce.

Cons

Feels very short-staffed at times. Company is making the transition from small to medium size, as well as the establishment of a new retail store; workforce has been stretched thin through the transition. Lots of pressure on employees to perform, as well as tighter margins of acceptable error. New systems are being developed to streamline operations and improve efficiency, which can be difficult for an entire workforce to adapt to (but will be beneficial long-term). No benefits (it is clearly explained as to why the company isn't providing benefits upon hire, and MW is working with an insurance agent to make sure every employee is informed and educated of their options).
