What are some of the things you like/hate about family owned business? As a barometer, how big is the company (approx revenue)?


Around $10 mil. Small (around 30 employees) company that is in a specialized construction and engineering field. With it being a small family owned company it's nice to be treated like family, but at the same time they have actual family members working here so when decisions are made non-blood related family members get treated like the slow cousin.

I don't think I could work at a family business for this reason

Reason I asked you was because my family owns an architectural sign company so i always like to hear from employees at other small family owned companies. We're about a $6mil company and have approximately 43 employees. Most family owned, small businesses have the same problems from my conversations with other employees/owners. I wish I could find better talent all-around but I don't have the labor budget to do that. The ones that are the rock-stars, they get paid very well and then everyone else makes a living.
