Pros
I love the fact that at this company they executive team really views their team as the experts in their role and empowers them to make decisions. In the operations realm of the business there is constant pressure to find ways to optimize the business while decreasing the overall costs. It has been amazing how quickly ideas and changes have been embraced by the partners to execute and drive to completion. The upper level management is very willing to invest in the right people and software to keep this company on the rocket ship to the moon it is already on. There is very little micromanagement in the business. I also really enjoy the way the organization calls on A players to drive the business. Those that they see are pushing the needle are given continued growth opportunities and rewarded for their work. Finally the organization has seen the benefit of project managers in each department to help drive initiatives and keep each function marching to the beat of the organizations drum. I really feel like this has proven to be a very helpful strategy to drive the business forward and execute very quickly and effectively on projects and major strategies.
Cons
This is a small but rapidly growing business that is trying to always run quicker than they can walk. I think there are a couple of areas that the business is having to clean the wounds on and learn to walk before they can run. Classic small growing business problems. I personally love this aspect of startup companies but for some who like structure and the security of everyday being the same this could be a con. The biggest con is the current insurance policy is not very friendly for out of state employees.
