Pros

The people I worked with and my supervisors where phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for coworkers or supervisors for my first job out of college. The company does a lot for their employees like potlucks, birthday celebrations, pizza parties, and an annual Christmas party. There's room for growth and movement within departments. If "Customer Service Rep" is on your resume, other future employers think "wow you did chromed service, you can do anything" (speaking from experience).

Cons

The job itself is extremely difficult. When I started, I joined the import group and took anywhere from 60-90 phone calls all day. Some calls are easy, but some people will yell at you for 10 minutes. It was a 9 hour day, 1 hour unpaid lunch, and two 15 minute breaks (in the AM and then PM). I couldn't stand being yelled at all day or listening to someone cry because they might lose their job if they don't have a container delivered. It's an extremely tough job.

Pros

- The culture, you meet some good people - Decent pay

Cons

- Management is incompetent, to say the least - NO training, they basically throw you to the wolves - They don't value their employees; everyone is dispensable, no matter how much value you offer to the company - Work loads are not distributed evenly, at all - They don't value employee feedback/opinions - Favoritism, affecting your advancement within the company

Pros

Good work-life balance in Denmark + flexible time. Good salary for Denmark (local contract) so overall purchase power is very descent compared to other EU countries.

Cons

The company is shrinking. Big hopes to grow the business have vanished for several reasons: inability to grow in-organically, failure in exploration projects and recent shift in Group's strategy resulted in these big hopes to crumble. Opportunities to develop are virtually inexistent. Middle management is technically weak and lacks of leadership.
