Pluspunten
- Most of my coworkers were awesome to be around! My coworkers were the ones that made the workplace fun. The ones that weren't would usually work themselves out of the company within a year. - Once the software was mastered, the basic functions of the position were pretty easy - Plenty of opportunities to be recognized through quarterly "Values Awards" - Ability to work from home - Nice bonus potential - No strict start and end time - One executive is taking a step down while another is stepping up. I think this is a better shift at their strengths and will actually lead to some positive changes - Once you are hired and you are competent at your job, I felt like my job was pretty secure.
Minpunten
- Due to the nature of the business, I'd get a lot of rush requests. It was even more nerve racking when the client didn't have a tight deadline, just wanted the quote by the "end of the day" for a meeting. Not much the company can do about that, but the stress that it caused was a major factor in my decision to leave. - Understaffed for their expectations - Wanted to be the company that listens to their employees and takes feedback, but it's really only true when you're suggesting more things YOU can do, it wasn't so true when you discussed how the company as a whole is running, or if you critiqued how the company was fulfilling the values - No room to move up in the company. While they encouraged me to take on projects outside my job title, they didn't give me the guidance or time to do it. Also, with a small company, you hope that at the very least if you can't move up, you can at least delegate the menial tasks to newer hires. This ended up not being the case as I was more efficient in my position, so I was the one that had "more time" to take on the extra "office management" tasks. - Since you can work from home, forget about taking a sick day (which is fine since you're just given blanket PTO, but if you really need the day off, you're still pressured to sign on).
