Pros
The culture and environment of OwnLocal is what I have always been searching for in my career. This truly is a place where once you are hired, you are trusted to perform your job well, and to do your best work! Because of this, there's little to no micromanaging. There's just not a need for it. Everyone who works here has a strong work-ethic, and while collaboration is not always perfect anywhere, the employees at OwnLocal really do listen to, and respect one another. I have never worked with such funny, quirky, and outright pleasant people before in my life (and this includes management)! Plus, the company benefits make being at work that much easier. There's 100% paid medical insurance, free Starbucks every day, free lunch every day, a fully-stocked kitchen with tons of snacks, drinks, beer and wine, and bus transportation reimbursement. The company parties and outings are always amazing, and the employees actually like hanging out with one another outside of work. I would definitely recommend working here!
Kontras
I can't complain about getting free lunch every day, but for what it's worth, I do miss having our old caterers here everyday. They were awesome!!
