Pros

- I made some of my closest friends working at FiveStars - The company attracts incredible people that are both easy-going and relentless - They've made a lot of progress in building career paths and growth opportunities - Dogs, snacks and meals are all solid - Interesting and complex projects to work on - You're given stretch projects quickly (depending on your org)

Cons

- Still a young company so there are still areas for improvement in process and structure - Resources aren't what you'll get at a larger company, so you'll be pressed to hustle and do big things with what you've got

Pros

Full of people who are committed to the vision and values - somehow the people who join this company are almost all completely bought into our values. I think that we've built something that does a great job of getting people aligned on how we want to behave as co-workers in a business, and encourages that culture to grow in a positive direction. Strong execution ability across the board - the company just executes really well, managing to hit tough targets and execute on organizational change initiatives that have continued to evolve the way we do business as we scale. It's great to be a part of something that works so well in driving change. Giant market with tons of expansion potential - we've grown really fast and because we still have only a small slice of a really large market (US small businesses) there is plenty of room left for us to grow. Not that it's easy, but it's all there for the taking! Leadership - a very smart, talented, thoughtful group in the leadership team. They're not perfect, but as a whole team they're the best startup leadership team I've encountered in a company this stage and size.

Cons

It's a tough slog selling to mom and pop small businesses and I sometimes feel like we're putting a tremendous amount of effort in to hit our numbers in. Sometimes an unwillingness to make tough decisions, especially if they make people unhappy - we may need more focus sometimes to grow, and the way to get it is to say "No" to more things and ideas, be more disciplined about where we invest resources, time and energy.

Pros

This is a great company that treats their employees right. Great work environment and company culture. I can't say enough. They go above and beyond for their employees. If you're interested and have an opportunity to work with FiveStars, do it. It's that simple.

Cons

None. Honestly. I haven't found one yet.
