Pros

Managers are flexible when it comes to availabilities and work schedules.

Cons

Company systems are outdated and inefficient. Administration and order entry are time-consuming tasks, yet you will be blamed if these take too long. If you are a Contracts Manager, you will be responsible for Shipping, Invoicing, and other tasks which take away from your main functional role. Recommend trying to get as much $ (salary) as you can upfront; otherwise, look elsewhere. Also, vacation is accrued; you don't get x weeks of vacation once you join company, very outdated.
