Pros

Bonus, Benefits (excluding 401K matching) and sick leave, and an excellent place to gain Operator's experience

Cons

NO room for advancement in the Company - especially if you do not connected and don't speak Portuguese! Job can be overly demanding at times. No retirement benefits, Lately, Communication and Transparency between upper Management and Employees are quickly fading away (FAST). Career Planning does NOT exist!

Pros

Better salary than other companies in the sector. Young staff with a very good attitude in HR department

Cons

Limited access to training and equipment to perform your job. Managers unaware of cultural differences and occasionally with aggressive management style. Too many political issues in the background coming from state owned company and national press, that at the end, forced the company to quit the country

Great place to work if you have a family and your only concern is benefits.

Lack of communication from mid and lower management. You are only an employee... proactive behavior and enthusiasm is not looked upon favorably.
