Pros

Having a job. That’s what they keep telling us at work, you are lucky you have a job.

Cons

Whatever prince MBS is trying to accomplish, the Saudi managers at ASC is destroying it. Saudi managers who are mostly “rejects from Saudi Aramco” are the Gods of this small office. They come from being nothing, their own people don’t want you, to becoming the Gods in America. ASC is becoming the “dumping site” for Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia. Since in Arabia they cannot fire incompetent workers, especially managers, they get rid of them by sending them to America, ASC. Chapter 8s are even worse. They are spoiled Saudis who come to ASC for fun and checking out the women. It seems they leave behind their religion and basic human manners. The prince is trying to promote his 2030 vision and encourage Americans to explore Saudi Arabia and these Saudi managers are turning the vision into a nightmare. At ASC, we have never seen such incompetent managers in recent ASC history. They are violating many civil and labor laws and the EEOC has been alerted. Several EEOC federal complaints against one department manager, Procurement, have been filed. They moved ASC back to the oldest building in downtown, Allen Center. 40+ year old building with stinch smell and broken elevators. Spending millions to renovate the floors. What a smart move to spend millions on a place you are renting. Prince MBS should be proud of such smart decisions and judgements. Finally, hypocrisy at high levels, spending money at local charities so they come on TV while treating your own workers like villains.

Pros

They took a chance on me when I didn't have any prior experience.

Cons

Contract workers aren't offered PTO at all. Management changes constantly, so expectations are always shifting. High turnover for recruiters.
