I have worked for small business owners all my life. The advantages, no company meeting with managers. The owner is 100% in command. There is no chain of command, just talk to the owner and get any question answered, or make a suggestion and get a direct response.
Does any of the family work there? If his wife is part of the business ask him directly, who is the final decision maker. Family members that only show up to collect a paycheck can cause friction.
Once the owner sees that you can produce the work and make him money you will have some leverage. He will know who produced what and at what profit. It will all depend on that man and how he takes care of employees. If he really understands that he has no company without employees he will be nice to you. If you are just another burger flipper you are easily replaceable.
