Pros
While I was hired for one purpose, I have been given the opportunity to contribute in an incredible variety of ways. On the one hand, it can be like drinking from a firehouse; on the other, I would not get this exposure or these opportunities anywhere else. I so appreciate the management team’s confidence and the latitude they have given me. Moreover, while our CEO is driven (company would not be where it is without her), she cares to the core, about her business, her people, her customers, and the difference we can and do make. Whip smart people, both developing and delivering on business. Many kind/thoughtful/helpful people here. It’s so appreciated.
Cons
Everyone wears multiple hats, and you must be OK with ambiguity to succeed here. Our CEO means it when she says she is not interested in “buying the business” or asking her team to voluntarily close the gap on an underbid contract. However, stuff happens; things change; people move on, and those who remain must – and do - step up and pinch-hit to keep the business running – and growing - until the gaps can be closed. It’s called teamwork.
