Pros

I am amazed everyday and cannot believe that this place is real. From day one it was everything I ever hoped for and more...and I started when there were small. I have seen the challenges, growth and the celebrations of success. Still everyday is a new task that we all take on willingly. Why? Its very simple my goals are your goals, we support each other in our roles and accomplishments. It doesn't matter which department that your in or where you are on the ladder. Management respects you, listens to your ideas and you rewarded for your achievements. The money is great, but nothing compares to a high-five from the Ceo for a job well done. Someone actually came in for an interview and asked if they could hang out for awhile. See what the jobs really about. They said to me this doesn't seem real. Everyone seems so happy. My reply, Dreams sometimes do come true.

Cons

It can be stressful, especially if you always want to be the winner. Sometimes you have to let others shine. With the fast growth comes more people and the dynamics still have to be worked out. Based on volume and responsibilities it can be difficult to keep up.
