Pros

*Some REAL great talented people. One of the sweetest, smartest ladies there is the new auditor. Upper management is amazing but mid needs work. *They pay better than most places in Costa Rica. *Phone bill is paid and you get a brand new iPhone. *Has an association. *You work hard because your teammates are worth it.

Cons

*You will be heavily micromanaged and questioned about every move you do x3. Such as: “Why did you not put a comma after a certain word on your e-mail?” You will be speaking about this for the next 20 minutes while you could be doing some actual productive work instead. *Be prepared to work 15 hours a day and not get offered any type of extra pay for it. You will be LUCKY to get a full hour in for your lunch break. You will be called on holidays such as Easter Sunday and expected to do things on your days off too. *You are able to work from home which would make you feel as if you have a work life balance but in reality you don’t even have time to get up to make yourself a sandwich in your kitchen that’s 2 feet away from you. *The people that have a very good talent get overlooked. For example; my boss had a very good talent at finding areas that needed improvement. However, he was not able to even manage his own department because they wanted to bring in all these other departments to manage him instead. *It seems like there’s always something wrong with the system. We have to do a work around all the time and to be honest... If you could just fill out the purchase order by hand and scan it in, then file it like the old-fashioned way... We could probably work a normal eight hour shift... But everything is so digital that if you need to make one small correction sometimes you have to start all over with the whole purchase order. Something that would only take 15 minutes max to fill out by hand becomes a one hour + task in the digital world. *Caution: If your boss/co-worker or even someone that is above them tells you to do XYandZ and you do XY and Z... Be prepared to later explain to the SAME people, that told you what to do, why you did what they told you to do. Document EVERYTHING!
