HUGE Scope of Work, Unlivable Wages

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, reliable steady work, company-provided vehicles for work use, decent technology, learn how to do EVERYTHING. Sales, operations, finance/accounting, sourcing, logistics, and get to work with a lot of cool local businesses.

Cons

A lot of expectations, pressure, and trust is put in you for such little pay. Wages are bordering the poverty line, especially with the inflation rates we are seeing. High turnover rate in the part-time positions, due to pushback on raises and moving up to full time. Asking for a base pay raise is like pulling teeth and will almost certainly always be met with the response of "you get a bonus."
