Pros

Intelligent and driven people -- every morning I am inspired by the people around me. Potential to become a household name and a chance to help make that happen. Ethical company that encourages doing the right thing and acting as a family unit. Laid back environment (foosball, video games, catering, keg, etc.)

Cons

It's a startup, so things may be unorganized at times. Work/life balance may get blurry because people tend to be at the office all the time. Compensation may not be the best, but the opportunity/potential makes up for that.

Pros

I've been working at FiveStars for about 8 months and have loved every day of it. I love the culture, and the opportunity to own projects that I would never have been given elsewhere. There are crazy hectic times, and there are fun relaxed times. What's important, and keeps me satisfied, is that we all go through them together -- as a team.

Cons

Talk to anyone at a start-up and they will tell you that it's a struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance. FiveStars is no different. You have to consciously make the effort to put aside your phone and take a nap at Dolores Park.
