Pros
-The chance to get ideas heard in a small company is great. Whether it’s assigned projects or new and developing areas of the company where you see room for improvement, there is a great opportunity to shine and make a positive contribution while gaining valuable work experience. -StateScape has great staff, both friendly and professional. We work well as a team and communication is greatly facilitated by having an open door policy at all levels of management. Staff regularly supports each other in daily workload, leave coverage, and especially during the company’s busy season. With the addition of two managers, there has been a marked increase in the sharing of tips, tricks, questions, and ideas company wide. -The remote work option is wonderful and makes for an enjoyable change of pace in work environment, although the office is a cozy building from the 1800s with no cubicles in sight. Any day without a hectic DC metro area commute is great. -StateScape has competitive salaries, but unlike many small businesses, they offer matching IRA funds to all staff.
Cons
-There hasn’t been anything I would classify as bad in my time working here. The one issue I found odd at first was that while there is a depth and breadth of experience and wisdom within the company, it sometimes needs to be written down somewhere for better dissemination. Relating back to the first point in Pros, I took this as a chance to improve operations and started gathering that information and drafting it into codified documents.
