Pros

vacation available immediately, 100% vesting in 401K on first day. Lots of opportunities for growth.

Cons

Brazilian company out of touch with American market. Very volatile industry. Many initiatives implemented on top of others, with no real sense of an end goal.

Pros

The money is some of the best in the area.

Cons

The biggest challenge of working here is having a life outside of here.They want you here 24/7 and they don''t care if you are married, have children or not. No paid holidays off except Christmas day and New Years day. Just plan on being there the other 363 days of the year. They tell you that they have paid holidays, which is true. But they schedule you to work almost all of them. Too many other cons to list here.

Pros

N/A - well I guess they don't really expect much out of anyone, so if you just want to collect a small paycheck and get a 1.5% merit increase...

Cons

yes men advance - if you have any independent thought forget about expressing it
