Pros

- They pay you a lot - Bonuses, like meals when you are at client visits etc - Education is provided

Cons

- Availability needs to be 24/7 for any international position (ie any position you choose to do if you don’t work in the supermarket itself) and at all days of the week which become mentally exhausting - Private life is laughed at and disrespected “If you have enough time to go for a run, you probably don’t have enough work” - Working bourse are from 8:30/9 till 8 pm, meetings at the HQ in Spain are often 12 hours - Lots of people get fired and leave the whole time. It’s not an “up or down” system though, they just treat you as someone who is easily replaceable and if you don’t want to do a report at 10 pm (which isn’t even urgent), they might fire you. Most people in the company are stressed and work because “I am too scared to loose my job” but that’s not how a company should work.

Pros

They pay above average. If you don't have formal education you can still progress with your career. If you are looking for a stable contract but not a learning experience.

Cons

Cult-like environment. Formal qualifications/educations mean nothing to them. I had a high position so I have a good idea of all the positions, and 90% of the work is routinary, no-learning and no need for intelligence work.

Pros

Permanent contract; salary above media; good working conditions

Cons

Full time job-life. Ir ia expected that you'll be 100% available for the company; internal language and procedures; information update to management and directors is made in word and excel. No automatic report. Caos. Don't give you training during the years.
