Pros

-Salary is good compared to most other available remote jobs for the level of skills. -Benefits are good, but still below average legal employment benefits from most latinamerican countries.

Cons

-Micromanaging: (this is a slightly new initiative) where every single piece of work will be reviewed with a magnifying glass regardless of your performance milestones or achievements. Expect excessive communication efforts (posts, meetings, etc.) to detail the work you've done. -High season: Expect to work Monday-Friday from sunrise to sunset (5:00 AM to 7:00 or 8:00 PM for Southeast Region), Saturdays and Sundays, approximately 50 hours per week or the work will not get done, in average you'll be managing 60 projects simultaneously and they expect you to be able to handle more than that. Being a responsible professional, this job will eat you alive. -Low season: They'll make sure to keep you busy with extra unnecessary reporting tasks every day, half the projects but still 40 hours of busywork with no actual benefit other than keeping everyone "busy". -As a Startup, everything changes more than once per week, sometimes are good changes but most of the times are changes that will hinder workflow. -Monthly project delivery targets/forecasting are biased and just projected using a certain percentage increase from the previous month, expecting constant growth without considering basic forecasting principles or historical data. If these wild guesses are not met they'll start witch hunting. -Nepotism: Friends and family are untouchable (most of the people in the higher management positions), everyone else is disposable. -Low professional stability: During December and January there's massive layoffs in the company, every year. A side-effect of poor budget managing during high/low seasons. -Unfair offboarding processes: They will make you accountable for metrics out of your control and use them as excuses to terminate you when needed.

Pros

Something I love about Ergeon is that they invest in their employees abilities rather than their impact on they have on the team. This means they will help either mold you into into the position you are working for or they will help you find another place that helps you grow even more.

Cons

Something I’ve always struggled with at Ergeon is the reality that we’re a startup and we operate very lean. Joining the company as a teenager and spending all of my twenties here has meant making real sacrifices—especially around finances. There were a lot of things my friends were able to do, like travel or enjoy certain experiences, that I simply couldn’t afford at the time. I know it’s different for people working in other countries or in different circumstances, but for someone living in the U.S., it hasn’t always been easy. Still, I’ve stayed because I believe in what we’re building and the long-term vision, even if the path hasn’t always been comfortable.

Pros

Various funds to support the purchase of improved hardware and things to help you work better. Remote workers health insurance. Consistent payment with no delays.

Cons

Very focused on AI integration to improve organizational performance, but the customer experience seems to come second to this. Very driven by the sales targets and can cause pressure to perform. Commission for sales is on the very low end.
