Pros

As an employee owner, I feel that my work is for a greater cause. Rather than being an employee working for a paycheck each week, I am a stakeholder and decision maker that can directly affect the success of the organization. As an owner, I am representing my company, not just a company I work for.

Cons

During my first couple years I really enjoyed working at Scot Forge. However, the Scot Forge culture that I grew to love has diminished throughout the company over the past few years. Walls have been built between each department, and employee owners no longer go out of their way to help each other out. I personally feel this is due to management trying to "lean out processes” to the extreme that we are actually leaning out our personnel.
