One aspect of the small company which I have enjoyed is the personal touch. There is nothing quite like having a chat with the Big Boss Man about things other than cash. I have considered learning about my employer s family life, political inklings, taste in the arts or life perceptions to have been special times which have resulted in greater loyalty on my behalf to that company. Work seasons may be shorter than with a larger company although the daily average is probably greater. Information from the top is probably from the top as supervisors are most likely in direct contact with the Boss.
Upward movement is less frequent as the middle is more closely knit up.
You have to perform well with the small contractor to be invited next year. A consideration if you enjoy that scene. HighBallers and all that Jazz. Yes favoritism abounds in the industry. A high production planter makes a company a lot of money and if she has good quality this results in a great reduction to the overhead costs to an operation.
