Pros

Its a steady job and not hard, the begging can be overwhelming to learn the ropes and all your duties.

Cons

SGS is a greedy company, they do not care about you, Will screw you over any way possible. Always get everything in writing through email or signed documents. Anything you do that is positive will be taken like they did it, and anything done wrong is your fault. Don't even ask for a raise, you have to take a risk on leaving to force a raise or get another offer letter for somewhere else and they will give you the raise to keep you. you are expected to do more than one persons job at all times.
