Pros
Small team, allowing you to work on a range of different systems and technologies. Constantly updating/replacing/changing/re-aligning companies with best/recommended solutions All types of clients in multiple business sectors will get you knowledgeable on how many different types of businesses work and the pain points for each of them
Cons
Internal Processes Even after 18 months working here, I was still unable to tell who the authorized approvers were for a client company Change management Constantly making org-wide changes on client systems, and on such a small team, it should be easy to just loudly say "hey were doing X migration/replacement/upgrade etc that MIGHT CAUSE A BUNCH OF Y PROBLEMS"...however this never occurred, and you'd spend 20+ minutes working a ticket only to find out that its because of a major change After Hours Work -- While on call you are expected to be available(company phone provided) However, you are not paid for being on call, nor are you paid if a client calls in saying they need help but don't have approval to work the ticket, If I'm going to be changing my evenings and weekends to be available to work in case of an emergency, that should be compensated.

Great Small Business with a driven owner

Pros
- The people you work with are always a major part of the success or failure you have and that's never truer than in small business. It was a pleasure working with them. - The owner has heart, energy, and technical knowledge. It's rare to find all three in a leader. One of the few people I'd confidently say I'd work for again. - Something new every day. If you're not learning something new, you're doing things wrong. - Great for networking. You'll see your clients on the streets in company vehicles. If you're proud of that you'll enjoy working there.
Cons
- In small business you can be limited to the ideas and technical solutions generated within the company. Other MSPs have much bigger and better solutions (or more ideas) mostly due to their employee count and experience. - No formal career paths. You can easily wake up five years from today and be doing the same work with the same title. Don't be that person! - Below average pay for most positions
