Pros

Salary, people know whats happening so we all support each other

Cons

This company will suck you down until you can’t get more of you. They will use you and after sometime if you are not into the “class” of the company, you are nothing. If you are gonna work here. Don’t do much for the company, they will never appreciate it or at least, thank you for the extra effort you do. Things are managed by people that doesn’t have a clue what is sell, support or marketing. Be prepare to work 24/7. They will force you to go to work saturdays, sundays and holidays! You will never have a holiday, because you will always have to be worry for the targets. Targets are not created by logic. This are created by just the “thought” of the person who manage this.they say x’s and x’s have to be done. Even if you are off or if its imposible to make. Think two times before apply.

We also encourage all of our team members to use their annual leave. We believe it is important for everyone’s wellbeing to take time to switch off from work, relax and enjoy their much deserved holidays. We would never expect anyone to work on the weekend or during their holiday. Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss this further.
