Pros

Great Team and a lovely atmosphere in the office. Overall the team are all very helpful and coordination/communication is top.

Cons

apparently it is alright to work +1h of overtime per day and not get payed for it. While I do accept that on some occasions it is needed to put in the extra hours, it is not acceptable to be doing this every day at this low pay. if you are ready to sacrifice all your private time and work ridiculous!! hours just to maybe get a payraise of £+2000 (EBT) per year then this might be your dream job. even though personal growth and progression were focused on in interviews there is little excitement in the work, really the senior project managers do almost the same jobs as the newbies. highly specialised Translators are payed pennies for the difficult and specific Scientific documents. I think it is ridiculous to pay a legal-scientific trabslator less than 20USD for translating complexe materials and to fight for pennies, no joke if you can get it 1USD cheaper then do it is what management told us!

Pros

Center location, some nice collegues

Cons

-There is no trust to the employees which really kills the motivation. -The company uses old technologies (Windows 7...) and in general it feels cheap to its workers and the tools it uses. -Hiring process is pretty bad (very long respond time, numerous calls repeating the same things all over again) -HR does hiring using shady temporal contracts even when they asure you they want you for a permanent position.

Hard to make the big commissions

Pros

Work with every industry. People are nice and makes it pleasant to go into work on a weekly basis

Cons

If you are newer to the team, you won't be able to be grandfather into accounts that will generate the big commissions as the more senior Sales Director have already capitalize on the repeat accounts. Company has a $185 million debt and have been skimping on benefits as well as harping every individual to sell, sell, sell which results in lots of micromanaging. Also benefits are not great. 401K vested after you've been with the company for 5 years. You don't get a lot of the US holidays off.
