Pros

No Pros. The place itself is a disgrace. It´s a business abomination in the XXI century.

Cons

These good reviews are probably phony and written by the CEO or some sectarian manager. Isnt it funny? New York is the place to be for business, but there are many places around with more career projection and better salary. For many professional purposes Latin Markets is the biggest shithole ever. The funniest is when you move on and all your former colleagues ask for a job in your new company.

Pros

I crashed by brain - but I could not think of anything. Whether I would recommend this to a friend? Definitely not. I would strongly recommend it to all my enemies though. They may make you a work visa (however they will reduce the amount of money paid to the attorney and immigration services from your salary). And then, when you leave the company because your life there is miserable beyond any reasonable boundaries, they will ask you for the money they paid. FYI, this is illegal. Immigration Law is very clear about that.

Cons

They simply bully people - that's the story. Most of their practices are illegal, and people should start filing complaints within the DOL. I am currently drafting one that I will present next month. Management is out of control. They may not have realized yet that slavery finished with Lincoln but yes, it did. The CEO has the same experience in running a company my little brother has. Well, to be honest, probably my little brother has a little bit more - he is already 10. They will send you to Latin America to some of the conferences they organize. They will try to ship you inside a shoe box, but it that does not work they will just buy a ticket for you in coach with layover in Singapore. So pretty much you will do something like Chile - Singapore - New York. It will be approximately a 200 hour flight. After the flight go straight to the office without taking a shower or you will get fired. The CFO is at the same time the HR Manager. One day he takes care of accounts receivable next day he interviews associates.

Pros

There is a Starbucks one block away.

Cons

Latin Markets likes to show that they are the most important conference company in the U.S when in fact they are only a group of young guys that think they are The Wolf of Wall Street and annoy people in the financial market every day. The company doesn't have a marketing strategy and they don’t care about their image. I received many times emails and calls from people complaining about LM’s calls, their clients are clearly unhappy. They will tell you to do stupid things such email blasts to 10,000 executives and you cannot say anything about their strategy, they never consider your opinion. Bullying and some Xenophobia are words that explain the relationship between manager – staff, they wait for you turn around and make jokes behind you just like kids in the High School, to be honest, when I was in High School it didn't happen. I’m foreign and I felt they just had no respect about people from my country and Latin America in general, they were always using stereotypes of us to explain why we were good or bad in certain things. When I was working there the office opened from 8AM-6PM, but they will ask you to work more or you get fired, they will say this indirectly in a meeting, then if you do and ask for overtime payment they will say you worked more because you wanted. To conclude I never thought workers would be treated just like the textile workers in the 19th Century in 2014 Midtown New York. The company is clearly starting to sink, and to be honest work in a Fast-Food restaurant can make you happier than wear a tie and be a “modern slave”. If you want to build a career or you are already an experienced professional you will be exposed to the most important people in the market, they can hate you and it may close doors in the future, be careful.
