Pros

Good place to start your career, amazing facility, lots of new content/workshops per month, hybrid model, good brand for your CV, free coffee/snacks.

Cons

The positions are not examined equaly, you will see people as Managers with 2 years of experience and also with 15 years of experience and that means they both get the same salary. Promotions are hardly given and the salary increase is pretty low. A senior manager earns 5% more than a manager and so on. The most suitable option is to aquire the best contract at the beggining (highest position possible for you) because you are going to stay in that position for many years regardless your efforts. Almost zero utilization for most employees most of the day is spent just doing nothing instead of providing your skills to crucial operations of the organization. Compared to other companies the benefits are pretty low you get a car after becoming a Director (hardly ever) which in other brands you can get a car from a position of assistant manager. The salary is mediocre for high positions (Manager and above) and low for junior positions such as associate/sr.associate compared to other companies. The company in Greece is HR driven (greek HR) which means what ever your Manager decides for you (promotion,raise,relocation,benefits) has to be accepted from the HR first (hardly ever happens).

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
