Pros

This company is family-owned and as such, they are acting like all employees are part of the family and they care about you. They are here to support you, push you and help you advance your career. Great growth potential. Working from home is a great benefit if you have discipline and you can focus and if you don't mind spending less time among people. You can have doctor or kids school appointments during the day and make up the hours which means you can have a good work/life balance. Compensation is competitive but of course, it depends on your industry experience and skill set.

Cons

In the hospitality industry, many days can be rough because you are in the service industry and you are trying to help people. At the same time, there is a rewarding feeling that in the end, you did help someone. A lot of issues can arise after hours so you do need to be ready to put it the extra time and effort. Again being in such an industry, workload depends greatly on upcoming events. Many days can be overwhelming but if you learn how to deal with the stress and many outstanding tasks, you can accomplish a lot.

Pros

Work from home: It isn't for everyone, but if you have a family with young, school age children this is an excellent career opportunity to be everywhere you need to be without sacrificing family. This company is very understanding of work/life balance (but don't think you can be lazy and sit on your laurels, you will be busy earning your keep). If you have an appointment, they will usually try to work with you. Of course you must make your time up somewhere if you expect to be paid for it. Speaking of pay: Compensation is quite substantial. It does depend on your work experience, but the company seems to pay well and understands that you must pay for what you are getting. Additionally, if you take into account what you are saving commute-wise (gas and wear on your car), that can really make a difference. You also do not have to maintain an extensive professional wardrobe. There is the odd occasion you might work or visit an event or site, but it's very rare. Overall, between what you're saving and earning, along with convenience of working from home, it's a nice way to make a living.

Cons

Work from home: Be sure you know yourself well and make sure you are comfortable being alone for extended periods of time. Working from home can be good or bad depending on your personality type. You could go crazy working from home if you are a people person and did it long enough. Work/life balance: Again this can be good or bad. It requires a lot tremendous amount of self-discipline and time-management. You are responsible for checking in and out of work with a timestamp. Workaholics beware! You can easily wind up burning the midnight oil without noticing. Workload: Depends greatly on upcoming events. It can be super busy at times, trying to complete too many tasks with not enough hours in the day. Other times it can be a little slow. This is primarily because you are dealing with events, it's just the nature of the beast and it comes with the territory.

Great Company - Great Family

Pros

People are awesome and the fact that this is a small company makes us all feel like we are family. Heavy work load but they are very fair and generous with the pay. Working from home is awesome as well.

Cons

No company is perfect but there are more good things about the company than bad ones. The job is stressful but any position with a lot of responsibility carries a certain level of stress that is unavoidable.
