Pros
- Opportunity to acquire proficiency in various new technologies - Establish and cultivate client relationships - Develop quick-thinking skills - Supportive colleagues and peers
Cons
-The CEO/Owner's suitability as a business owner is questionable due to tendencies towards micromanagement, dismissing feedback, divulging private conversations among staff, and an evident lack of salesmanship skills. -High workload for everyone, with the 'Work/Life Balance' ideal being more of a myth, as only the CEO/Owner enjoys such flexibility. -If HR is approached, it's important to remember that the CEO will know every single detail of that conversation, given the close relationship between HR and the CEO as a family friend. -The On-Call setup is extremely problematic, lacking any semblance of efficiency. If you find yourself on-call for the week, anticipate it as a 24/7 on-duty commitment, making it impractical to arrange personal plans during that time. -Employee compensation is well below the industry standard.
