Pros

Flexible hours Bonus based on sales Possibility to learn many different things

Cons

Highly stressful and you need a strong stomach to keep up. Disorganized. You have to buy the company’s clothing... very bad quality and very expensive. Pressure and stress daily. Too much responsibility and not enough staff. If there is a new project, they first implement it, run it and then hire and train new people (if). There is no clear job description. Vacation is not given as required by law. Little respect for the employees.
