Pros
There are a lot of pros to this job. It’s in a nice location (nice being an understatement), you get reasonable benefits, plenty of places to eat nearby for lunch, and if you’re lucky, you’ll hire in with some great people like I did. As far as wages compared to local cost of living... you might be in a pinch there. But otherwise it’s a reliable place to work if you cross your t’s and dot your i’s.
Cons
Words to the wise: speak more than one language. Don’t get comfortable, ever. Don’t be yourself at work. Basically, don’t even make the smallest of mistakes in any aspect or area. Because they will terminate you, without any first or final warning. Don’t get me wrong, work related mistakes get a slap on the wrist and a “do better”. Anything else and you’re gone basically. In all honesty (my former manager’s favorite filler phrase), I loved that job. I had hoped that maybe I would succeed and move forward in the company. But in the end I dug my own grave by making a mistake that management didn’t deem worthy of a final warning or a less-than-termination reprimand.
