Pros

Pay is very good, it’s hard to find places that pay as well.

Cons

Training is non existent, very hostile coworkers who are NOT friendly. If you don’t speak Spanish you’ll have a hard time. You get very excluded. Management isn’t very friendly, you will never get appreciated for your hard work. They make demands without basic etiquette, it really wears down your spirit. There’s also no work life balance, they will work you to the point of exhaustion without reducing your hours and ignoring your request to lower them.
