Pros

They offer growth, develop those that want/need it when they ask for it or show promise, offer work/life balance and have always been flexible, great culture and lots of people with the same mindset - work hard/play hard, lots of team events and awesome new office space. Also, the compensation is unmatchable in our industry - they pay very well so if you work hard it literally pays off. All in all, my experience has been positive here. I started when there were 12 people in the office and we have grown to 40+.... things change, culture changes, structure changes and I think some people had/have a hard time adjusting to that. Every company has room for improvement and firstPRO leaders are taking matters into their hands and continuously working to improve!

Cons

Benefits aren't the best but I believe it's a work in progress. A lot the previous cons have been dealt with - poor management, lack of structure, bad culture - we have improved in these areas tremendously and have built a culture and environment people can be proud of.

Pros

Small Company environment. Good office location.

Cons

1. Management Relationships: It has come to my attention that there is a personal relationship between the owner and a lower-level employee, which raises potential concerns regarding professionalism and workplace dynamics, particularly given the significant age difference. This situation may inadvertently create perceptions of favoritism within the team. 2. Leadership Competence: There appears to be a lack of direction and understanding among upper management regarding effective operational practices. This has led to a workplace environment that can feel disorganized and unstructured. 3. Work Environment: The overall atmosphere may be likened to a "small-town" mentality, where casual interactions often overshadow professional standards. While a friendly environment can be beneficial, it may sometimes result in a lack of accountability and seriousness in business operations. 4. Training and Development: There seems to be a significant deficit in training for employees, particularly in areas such as sales techniques and recruitment processes. Current management practices do not seem to prioritize employee development, with an emphasis placed on external events instead of investing in the workforce's skills and resources. 5. Performance and Advancement: It appears that employees may feel compelled to engage in excessive flattery to secure their positions, which can undermine a culture of meritocracy and professional growth.
