Pros

-Significant opportunities to advance rapidly (less than 2 years with MyBuys, received 3 promotions) -High-exposure to upper-management/executive-team -Fast-growing company, market-leader -Opportunity to manage important initiatives early in your career -Rotational program for new-hires to develop skills in a wide-range of jobs quickly -Management invests heavily in their employees -Fun culture -Opportunities to experience light-business travel -Caring and accommodating environment -Challenging responsibilities -Very little micro-managing, management trusts their employees and give them lots of "rope" -Recognize talent and retains talent well -1:1 mentors to help employees grow

Cons

-Entry-level pay feels relatively low compared to initial value-add but is still a fair for someone just entering the industry w/o directly relevant experience (as you advance, this changes) -Due to rapid growth, some growing-pains exist internally (support engineering keeping up with exponential increases in sales, growth caused some over-crowding in A2 office, etc...) -Downtown Ann Arbor location can present some challenges/costs (parking, traffic, etc...), though we are in the process of finding a new office
