Pros

- Great career progression, easy to rise through the ranks if you're good at the job and open to opportunities. Talent and hard work is acknowledged and valued, they work hard to keep hold of good people. - Visa sponsorship to live in Latin America, easy to move between locations. - Really good salary compared to local cost of living (not a western salary however - great for the area) and good monthly bonuses. The owners (CEO and COO) are hands on and will guide when targets are missed. - I felt supported and well trained here, was given the tools to do my job and often asked what I needed or what was missing to do the job better - Spanish lessons provided for staff, the best perk for working here! Overall one of the best companies I've worked for and gained a lot of experience here, I would work here again.

Cons

- Long hours and weekend work on rotation, expect to work hard at this company. Nothing was unmanageable, and nothing is a surprise - you know what you're signing up for well in advance - but the reality of the job takes time to get used to. - "Always on call" culture is tough, expected to monitor Zoom and emails or be available for emergencies 24/7. Affects peak tourist season most, low seasons are easier.

Pros

Opportunity to work abroad and make a salary which you can survive on in that particular country.

Cons

VERY long work hours. Leads to a fast and high burn out rate. Serious concerns about the owner's integrity. I would not trust him about anything, he is out for himself and nobody else. The pay is sufficient for the economic environment you are living in, but you will not have any extra money or be able to pay bills back home on the salary. High stress environment with little to no reward for hard work from the owner, you are just EXPECTED to go above and beyond all the time. Owner sees employees as highly expendable and replaceable. Even if you are a good quality employee do not expect to get a reference, the owner either gives poor references from a form letter or none at all. Unless you build a relationship with coworkers that can provide good references this will not help your reference library.

Pros

Good work being done, good staff.

Cons

Dreadful work environment with terrible management. Long hours on basically no pay. Upper management harasses people on the job and even more when they leave - people are miserable there but get bonuses for writing positive comments. Don't believe them.
