Cons
As soon as the doors close, you have entered Franco-era Spain. Tons of work accompanied by do-more, do-better demands from a supervisor who is heavy on criticism and lacks any empathy or consideration for others. There is never any sense of accomplishment or satisfaction, only, "Can't you do more?" I was not inspired to do wonderful things; instead, supervisor ensures that you know you are very low to the ground and you aren't doing enough. People are fired all the time. You will come to work and have an email, "So and so is no longer with TLB." So you are constantly wondering if you are next. If you last longer than a year, you will get an annual review and a raise--of no more than $0.75. All of the people who make any money are related. These people don't know your name or what you do there, but they sure wish you'd do more of it for the same amount of money! The company is also into reputation management so you'll have to sacrifice your morals as well. I asked for a raise and was told to get a roommate or a second job. All in all, if you grew up in an abusive household, you are probably equipped with the unhealthy coping behaviors necessary to work for this company.
