Compensation is nice; however, more of your total compensation is in stock than is preferable.
High stress environment, especially during peak season. There is not much work-life balance, and don't think about balancing family life unless you can hire it out or have a stay-at-home partner.
Set a better bar for work-life balance. You say you have high expectations for those that work here. Make that possible to be done in the regular 40 hours, or at least close.
