Pros

Working at a small company has both pros and cons. Each employee's satisfaction is a result of what he/she feels is an advantage or disadvantage - what one person sees as a downfall may be what another person considers to be a strength. Here at Mangrove, you have the ability to control how successful you are. As a smaller company, we are less formally structured, more flexible, less set in our ways. Depending upon your personality and job environment preferences, this can work to your advantage. Recognition for a job well done is magnified - everyone knows when you have received positive feedback from a customer or when you landed a large sale or when you helped another team on a difficult project. Being part of a small company feels like you’re part of family and your heart becomes more attached to the success and failures. You are truly able to see the fruits of your labor. If you like taking ownership over your career and are open to taking on a challenge every day, this is the place to be. There are also great benefits offered such as health benefits (cost shared between employer and employee), dental, vision, FSA, 401K with employer matching, other ancillary benefits, paid-time off/paid holidays and casual Fridays.

Cons

With limited resources, employees are busy wearing multiple hats and taking on different roles to get the job done. This includes most of the management team as well as the executives, which causes them not to be able to delegate as much work as if we were a large corporation. Each advantage listed above may be considered a con to certain people. Some people need to be told what to do every hour of the day, they need a formal business structure, they can't prioritize without running it by their supervisor - this requires micromanagers, which is completely absent at Mangrove. There are employees that feel the need to complain to everyone and anyone that will hear them, because something didn't go their way. There are too many people wasting time (and lowering employee morale) talking about what goes wrong or pointing out everyone else’s faults instead of looking at themselves and seeing what they can do differently to make things better. People need to understand that their level of stress has more to do with how they respond to what is going on.

Thank you for your post. We agree that success begins with individuals. We know that you don’t just instantly build a business; that you must build people to build a successful business. We want all of our employees to feel empowered and engaged. It is hard sometimes to achieve this task as there are points where we all wear multiple hats, but our culture is steeped in teamwork, customer service, and accountability. We encourage you to discuss your concerns about low employee moral with the Management and Executive team. Trust is a two-way street. Sometimes we don’t hear about the negativity or concerns until it is too late for us to do something about it. Let us help! We do want to sincerely thank you for being a part of the Mangrove Family!

Pros

The culture and the people is what makes this place different from other companies. You can't help but get excited about the energy and the work that is being done. It is truly a fun atmosphere. You get to know the owners, they joke with you. You work with every department on multiple projects - so you get to know everyone in the building. Its your choice of what you want to make of your job. If you want to be a stick in the mud, you can be. If you want to enjoy what you do for 8 hours - its your choice - but the management team and other co-workers are here to work, and help you in any way.

Cons

I see a lot of negative reviews on here. If you aren't happy at Mangrove, why don't you get another job? No one is forcing you to stay. There are other places you can work. The owners are not bad people and saying you disapprove of the CEO when you don't even know him is quite ridiculous. If you have issues with your manager - that's what HR is for. GROW UP, be an adult and stop bashing a company just because you don't get your way. A lot of us are sick of hearing you complain.
