Pros

Higher rate of pay for the area, commiserate work environment

Cons

Leans heavily on a "generalist" training for employees, the corporate solution to work life balance is to not schedule you for enough hours, when the company decides they are abandoning the site they wait til the last month they need to.

Pros

Good salary for Portuguese average salaries and cost of living. Also, good benefits such as a company-provided personal car with a fuel allowance and a good medical plan. Career development programs.

Cons

No work-life balance due to continuous rotating shifts, with a schedule from Monday to Sunday, between 5 AM and 10 PM. Poor investment in human resources, causing shifts to extend to 10-hour shifts several times.
