Pros

Able to build relationships easier than within a larger company environment where one can get lost in the shuffle. Owners and executive management are more easily accessible to their direct reports and seem to genuinely care about their employees. Excellent 1 on 1 training of processes and tools Medical Benefits available quickly as opposed to other companies where wait time can be 6 months or longer. Due to an often long sales cycle, each day is challenging and different. The Hoover Irrigation Pump System is "state of the art" in comparison to competitor products. Work ends when the day is over, and does not spill over into personal time after hours and weekends. Owners are passionate about their products, and always provide their customers with the correct solution.

Cons

Some tools and programs are not user friendly. Lack of communication between executive management members sometimes causes duplication of work. Processes often do not have well detailed documentation.

It takes many kinds of people to create a great company! Some are energized with pursuing improvement and executing quickly in a small company as compared to working with slow turning corporate wheels. Some are highly valued for critical tasks of organizing, documenting and communicating. We need them all!

Pros

Always working on a project, new or old. Getting more proficient with tools, cad details, and understanding the irrigation pump system to better explain it to the customer. The freedom to complete tasks without someone looking over your shoulder.

Cons

Standardization of Policies and Procedures or lack there of. Sections within the company have no set time schedules and no repercussion if not at work on time. (Example; hour long lunches turn into two hour lunches and bring their lunch back and eat at the desk). Vacation or time off Calendar is not used by everyone as I was always told it was policy to fill in when requested time off sheet was approved by the Manager. Communication by the Leaders is lacking, they need to talk to all the employees at least quarterly to update them on the goals, projects and what is expected to occur for future business for the Company.

Management agrees with dedicated team members that all employees need to pull their own weight. There is a process, which takes some time, that identifies and acts to correct performance or remove the occasional "slacker" who does not meet expected standards.
