Pros

* revolutionary e-tail business model, pulling away from competitors * concern for culture and meritocracy that beats almost any other non-professional services firm I've ever seen * relentless focus on entrepreneurialism * consistent focus on risk/reward and potential to differentiate lens for all decisions * caliber of team and quality continuing to improve (and to accelerate) * flat culture (observe many entry-level to CEO interactions every week)

Cons

* operations can seem sloppy to those who have worked at larger firms * meritocracy means some can be disgruntled * large customer service base in Boston office can feel disconnected from management * always too much to do given very rapid growth; if you don't know how to prioritize, you can drown in potential opportunities

Pros

CSN provides all employees a great deal of responsibility compared to similar jobs for similar pay/titles. Even at the ground level, our entry-level employees can affect the amounts of revenue generated or the relationships with vendors and partners. Each role offers a challenge; be it in developing the nuanced skills needed to grow the nature of their role, or in the fact that much of what we do is unique or new to the industry.

Cons

As CSN has grown, the employee dynamic has shifted from an "all hands on deck" to a "we need specialized SMEs" atmosphere. For tenured veterans, this often means less movement throughout the company; for new hires, this means entering a company that will ask you to master your role (which can take 1-2 years) before being considered ready for advancement or movement. While this is not inherently a "con", many employees enter the company thinking we are still operating at a smaller scale, only to find that we have shifted to a different strategy as result of our growth and goals.
