Pros
I have never worked in such an autonomous position. I love that I have certain things to make sure I get done but then I have the autonomy to create, improve and help others. The barriers that once existed between departments are gradually fading away. Some may have said in their reviews that their experience here wasn't as great as they'd like it to be. I feel very strongly that your experience in life is what you make it. I know I'm in danger if I put blame on another department (or my own) over myself. The real issue is my own ability (or lack there of) to communicate well. So many potential escalations have been resolved because I've gotten out of my chair and gone up to talk to someone. I feel like this company is going to grow rapidly. We have so many brilliant people here who seem to want to make a difference in the market and I believe we will eventually take it over. That means not only the lives of employees will be impacted by that but the people we cater to. That makes me excited every day to come in and do what I do.
Cons
Communication. So many of the issues that we have could be resolved by better communication and tools. While we are state that we are an innovative company, that is limited to certain areas. We haven't mastered the art of communication from the top down or from the bottom up.
