Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Room to grow. Lots of opportunities to move to the states. No micromanagement. People are friendly.

Cons

Poor leadership. Leadership team is under qualified. Leadership does not care about employee growth. They only care about their numbers. Sales managers are under qualified. Not flexible with decisions. They charge you for offering health benefits.
