I have been working at HERSCHEL SUPPLY COMPANY full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
-Energetic workforce that is generally very positive and encouraging (think the opposite of a draining workplace).
-Pays on time - a lot of people think this is a given but you'll be surprised how bad other employers are about this.
-Opportunity to rise as it's a growing company that is expanding organically. There isn't a lot of formal career progression mapped out, but I know they're working to fix this quickly.
Cons
-Being a younger company, some areas/depts don't have as much structure. However in other ways this is a positive (more flexibility, less red tape, more opportunity to craft your own change).
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing. The company has grown rapidly and will start to plateau. This is where your resolve to run a stable ship will be valuable... also don't try to take the company!

I have been working at HERSCHEL SUPPLY COMPANY full-time
Pros
Company culture, it's a fun place to work as everyone is friends. The company is small enough still to be involved in a lot of different departments. Not a corporate culture at all. Also because it is small there are new challenges everyday, some people thrive in this, I like the fact that it's not monotonous. There are so many ways to explore and grow.
Cons
If you are looking for a consistent job where you do the same thing over and over this place is not for you. Also it is not structured like a corporation, so if you are looking for that it's not here.
Advice to Management
Continue looking for the best creative talent and people that are hungry for growth. I would tell people up front that this place moves fast, and if you enjoy an ever quacking pace then this is for you.

I have been working at HERSCHEL SUPPLY COMPANY full-time
Pros
Great culture. Many talented people working at head office. Very little ego, politics, finger-pointing, smack talking. Fast paced and multi-faceted but overall low stress.
Cons
Process and systems still need some work, as the company has gone from small to big very quickly. Sometimes a little chaotic with the lack of process.
Pay is on the lower side of the spectrum compared to other companies in the same industry.
Advice to Management
Work on developing more structured processes and systems and consider implementing more competitive compensation packages in order to keep attracting and keeping awesome talent.

Friendly/social environment, great Canadian brand, fast paced and exciting. Opportunity to be involved in process making. Fresh fruit, snacks and coffee bar for employees. Great work/life balance even for working parents. Fair compensation, benefits and vacation time. Casual dress code. You have the opportunity to really carve out your job role as the job description will change with time. Great work site with music, lots of light and fair sized work stations. Young company with so much growth potential. Amazing entrepreneurial outlook and positioning in the market. Constantly challenging and not boring at all.
Cons
Fast paced sometimes informal work environment. Constantly changing workload. Must be agile and resilient to work with the flow. Must be able to work with many levels of communication. Sink or swim environment, you are responsible for a lot of your own training and learning on the job. Important to be multi-faceted in your job as demands change, you must keep up.
Advice to Management
Keep finding people who are excited and agile in their work to bring onto the team. Ensure people have a fair level of experience and are interested in having a multi-faceted job description. People who need constant reassurance or hand holding need not apply.
