Pros
* BookXchange is a fast-paced environment with a lot going on. The team is small, everyone wears a lot of hats, and there are a lot of opportunities to be exposed to different parts of the business.
* Employees are a close-knit group. I enjoy working with the team here.
* The owner has a sharp business mind and knows how to build and maintain relationships with customers and suppliers.
*The team is relatively small, so there isn't much bureaucracy.
Cons
* Sometimes I need to work long hours. Nothing extreme, but it's not a 9-5 job. That said, busy seasons are fairly predictable, so it's not like I'm often cancelling dinner plans.
* The environment is a warehouse, so it's loud.
