Pros
- If you get the culture, and generate business, you can get highly compensated (almost no limit in theory) - You pretty much "own the company", especially in management positons - People can grow if they are ready to move around the globe (although no expat support)
Cons
- If for whatever reason, the company is not doing well (understand a country, a region or a branch), all employees get affected, especially management, which base salary is quite low . People make money thanks to bonus pool which depends on the bottom line. - Little opportunities to work abroad - Difficult balance personnal life vs work - Once people reach a certain level in management, they don't move given their compensation, so that reduces carreer opportunitites.
