Small business will never be able to compete with big downtown firms when it comes to wages and things like days off...so the comparison is somewhat irrelevent.

Small business attracts people that don't want to work for a company with thousands of employees, but would rather be a part of a smaller, more intimate company where they are one of only a few.
