Top Reasons for Working in Large and Small Companies

Do you work in a large company? A small company? Do you find that you prefer one over the other?

 

I have worked in several jobs where the firms were large and small. I personally have a preference for larger corporations, but do like the feel of a smaller business.

 

Here are my top reasons for working in each type of company.

 

Small Firm:

 

• You have more of a “second home” type of feel. 

• Your co-workers are more friendly, since you are more closely knit with each other. 

• It’s considered a more family friendly environment. 

• You get to have more one-on-one contact with your clients. 

• You can voice your opinion more so, since there are few executive personnel. 

Large Firms:

 

• Your job is more stable, since there are more funds reserved, due to larger profits. 

• You have access to more resources, such as better technology and online learning (which is usually provided by the company). 

• You are more options to stay within the firm, but to branch out to other jobs. 

• You can travel more, whether it be to visit clients locally or internationally. 

• Leadership potential is quite different, since you can move up within the company quite quickly, as opposed to a smaller firm, where it might be family run. 

No matter which type of firm you choose, make sure that it’s a perfect fit for you and your employer. You don’t want to end up looking for another job. Trust me, it can be very stressful!
