Pros

Room for advancement, and help you develop social skills. Some gems in there, but lack structure and professionalism.

Cons

Overall sexist environment. One of the senior staff members is very inappropriate with the girls especially. Name callings, touching and overall very unprofessional. Their business model is a bit cult like, there is a lot of chanting and pumping each other up for the day, which I found strange. It is a boys club. I quit after a boss of mine kept referencing my breasts and touching my hair and body while training me.

Pan Atlantic Response

Please accept our apologies. We deeply regret that this incident marred your experience of working with Pan Atlantic. We try very hard to take care of our associates, and make sure they are happy and fulfilled. Unfortunately in this case we didn't meet your expectations, or indeed our own. We work with many women, and would never like to think that they would be made to feel uncomfortable by any of our staff. Regardless of gender, we want everyone who works with us to have the same opportunities and chances for advancement. Several of our past female associates are now running their own businesses. We take allegations of this sort very seriously, and do not tolerate this behavior in our offices. The person involved in this isolated incident is no longer with the company, and we are expanding training sessions to ensure that nothing like this happens in future.

Pros

Great positive energetic atmosphere that gets you fired up to grow and progress in a fast paced environment where growth is determined by what you do rather than in the usual setting I have been in which is who you know.

Cons

You have to be on your game at all times as the management push, drive and challenge you every day to be better.

Pros

Located conveniently; I cannot really think of actual pros that you seek in a job. You might make friends being around people your age.

Cons

Very secretive about everything. You guys consistently made false promises and took advantage of me and other naive people. You pay lower than minimum wage and don't tell people that we are Independent contractors; this is illegal. You post the opportunity as a job posting and you talk about building a business well maybe not all of us want to build a business. Also filled with some very racist, sexist and homophobic people. People very regularly use racist slurs.
