Pros

A salary during desperate times. If you are Brazilian you will succeed here.

Cons

First things first, everything they tell you during the interview process is a lie. Everyone is completely expendable from the top down and the company functions like a bunch of rats in a cage. "Rapid growth opportunities" is solely the function of consistent 'mass layoffs' and resignations of the top people. The corporate employment model has become the same model used in the restaurants (underpay, over-work, non specialized skills, create monotonous & meaningless tasks, etc) . The Management Trainee program is where the majority of new hires comes from. Y'all just beware and always keep your resume up-to-date. They will treat you mildly better than everyone else, but the program works much like a cult where they use group pressures and brainwashing to simultaneously make you believe you are there to be major contributors to the company while at the same time The threat of firing will always loom and you will be pitted against each other. If you are looking for an edgy collaborative environment , this is not it. Absolutely everything is about the bottom line. Office supplies are no longer provided, everyone must bring from home.

Pros

- Creating strong bonds with other MTPs - Miami is a beautiful city for temporary living (wouldn't do it for long term)

Cons

3G Capital corporate culture is extremely cutthroat. I am a hard worker and a very competitive person but when it comes to this culture, it's mentally and physically draining. I work over 60 -70 hours a week with no extra compensation. Upward mobility as the company promised does not actually happen here since they are always trying to cut people and make the lower guy do all the work. Definitely talk to some of the trainees from the program before you sign up for this job as HR will LIE to you. Ever wonder why HR won't let you talk to the current trainees? The only people they let you talk to are in the HR department since they already have everything choreographed. If you were my friend, I would recommend that you stay away from the program and the company. You are basically fearing when you will be let go next. The saying at BK is, "It's not a matter of IF you get let go, but WHEN you get let go" Leaving the company was a blessing.

Pros

Lots of opportunity for growth. As a Full-Time Employee in Corporate you will be guaranteed an opportunity to make a significant impact. Corporate operates very lean on the analyst level which means there is never a dull moment and plenty of work.

Cons

Extremely high turnover due to metrics based system of measuring performance and output. No concept of work life balance. Ability to receive bonuses limited due to unrealistic company goals and employee requirements. Loyalty and Longevity are both nonexistant with this company.
