Pros
15 days paid annual leave If you are a General Manager of an office, you will be able to hire on staff that matches the team chemistry and procedures that you want to establish
Cons
Extremely low pay and inadequate benefits: no retirement plan, insurance plan only covers emergencies, salary is below average for equivalent positions in similar industry, commission plan does not properly reflect effort put into the work High Turnover with subpar handover procedures: leaving those in the current position with missing information, little time to adjust, and heightened sense of urgency to accomplish tasks without the full-scope of the project. No proper HR in place: honest and proper visa support was not provided even if stated in the contract. No appraisal or exit interview was conducted after outlined in the contractual agreement. Grievances are not processed. Poor Upper Management: communication and leadership skills are lack luster. No accountability to those at the Director-level positions for putting General Managers in hard dilemmas. Work-Life Balance is non-existent: You can find yourself working 60+ hours in a week during the peak season (May-August) with no additional overtime pay, time-off or compensation for additional work. It is not uncommon to receive messages from clients/colleagues at any given hour, with the expectation of an immediate response.
