Pros

• Miami office is small but nice – open floor plan and nice meeting areas; convenient location in Coral Gables • Health benefits are above average • Strong brand recognition • Ability to work with global offices a plus

Cons

• Unethical legal and finance practices abound; constant pressure to deceitfully structure contracts in order to maximize revenues as well as pressure to manipulate sales figures in order to present positive financial performance • 'Gross negligence' is the only way to describe HR practices and behaviors at this company; the behaviors and actions that have been fostered have led to a deeply troubled culture • Low pay, inept recruiting methods and poor office reputation make it difficult to attract top talent • Programming that is unknown or unsuitable for the Latin America region; BBC channels/programs are nearly unsellable in the region • Historically poor performance and uncertainty regarding the future of the Miami office beyond 2017 has led to low morale throughout the office
