Pros

The rate of growth is exciting, the company personnel is surprisingly tight-nit, it seems good work is well-recognized, and opportunities to grow and gain responsibility are abundant. Another current (probably temporary) benefit is that most people rarely (if ever) need to work over normal business hours, which makes work/life balance very easy. Biggest pro for me personally is seeing the immediate effect my actions can have (for better or worse!). This adds both pressure to succeed but also pride when things go well.

Cons

There's plenty of growing pains in processes, people, etc. This isn't really the type of job for someone who doesn't want to work hard and can't handle pressure. Because they're still small but growing, compensation is comparably low, though it seems trending upward.

Pros

Plenty of work to do, reasonable and attentive management and ownership, company is in a state of rapid growth meaning more opportunity to rise to more lucrative positions as the company hires into the entry-level. Occasional bonuses for hard-working employees. Lots of company events (potlucks, holiday parties, etc.) Compensation is very fair, and management is open to listen to any employee concerns. Contrary to prior review, there is in fact PTO, accrued 2 days per 3 months worked up to 8 days annually, available for use up to 1 year after accrual. Management/ownership works just as hard as staff does, and leads by example and not by command. Very friendly and helpful staff. Feels more like a big team than a workforce.

Cons

Feels very short-staffed at times. Company is making the transition from small to medium size, as well as the establishment of a new retail store; workforce has been stretched thin through the transition. Lots of pressure on employees to perform, as well as tighter margins of acceptable error. New systems are being developed to streamline operations and improve efficiency, which can be difficult for an entire workforce to adapt to (but will be beneficial long-term). No benefits (it is clearly explained as to why the company isn't providing benefits upon hire, and MW is working with an insurance agent to make sure every employee is informed and educated of their options).
