Avantages
The pay and benefits for this company were pretty standard. There were some great employees. Occasional team outings were a nice attempt at team building.
Inconvénients
This branch of the company has some severe core issues that have only grown worse in the past months/years. For one, the culture has transitioned in a major way from a productive but somewhat fun and flexible place into a rigid, micro managed environment. Breaks are practically timed and 10 hour + days (in addition to work on nights and weekends) are standard. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is extreme nepotism, bullying, and harassment brought on by any suggestions of change or improvement. Unfortunately, HR (off site) turns a blind eye to these issues because of the revenue generated by inept middle managers. They (managers) ask for suggestions regarding the business and team dynamic but are much to prideful to receive any feedback. This model of management is apparently a result of the "Dutch" culture (where Tradin was acquired). It is difficult to maintain a positive attitude and heavy workload when you are unappreciated, overworked, and micro managed. The workload is heavy and continues only to be more so due to consistent high employee turnover. Employees are leaving in droves as this environment gets progressively worse. Moving up in this company is not really an option unless you give up everything aside from it. Even then, be prepared for "meetings" and corrective emails for everything from taking a "long" break to not responding quickly enough to an email (~5 minutes from receipt). From management, there is no sense of balance between work and anything else in life and it is implied that all employees should have this model.
