Pros

- Fast-moving in terms of decision-making and less bureaucracy - Lots of opportunity as we continue to grow - Employee ownership makes employees invested

Cons

- Small relative to the large operations so not as well-known for recruiting - Not top of the market in pure salary, but easily top of the market in overall compensation.
