Pros

Complex organization with many modern standards to learn from. Global reach, lots of professionals to work with which opens many opportunities to grow as an individual. If you pay attention, you will learn a lot!

Cons

Does the right thing for the wrong reasons. More than once you will find that the metric is more valued than the "what", meaning as long we are on green we are fine, doesn't matter if what you have to do is completely absurd or repetitive. Latam's IT team is going totally astray with their Agile approach, because again what matters seems to be how it looks like rather than what it is. Be careful if you wish to work here and learn "good practices" because they are totally second priority to them.

Pros

Great Benefits and colleagues, but poor management here. Some managers are decent, but expectations are extremely high for a very low base pay. Very little to no room for advancement within the company unless management favors you. Metrics and monthly sales quotas are highly stressed, but they do nothing for you in regard to moving up in the company.

Cons

Very low base pay Little to no room for advancement High sales quotas/ little bonus Toxic management Extended hours No OVERTIME PAY
