Pros

Free coffee machines , the food is nice,bus to workplace or money for fuel. The salary is ok for Macedonia but not ok for any manual job. Only recommended for working in administration ,anything else is very poor.

Cons

Too much overtime hours, sunday is not payed like sunday payment,again overtime and pressure non-stop , they call you on your phone and make treats on you. At some point you are wondering are u a slave or employee. Too many health risks and not a single benefit for exposure to toxic chemicals.
