Pros

The company is global and has many offices all around the world. The possibility for a diverse working environment with multiple diverse offices in different parts of the world is available, and that is good if you like to learn new languages or travel or both.

Cons

BEWARE! Control Union as a company is an enigma. That's why it seems like a really great opportunity from an outside perspective. However, it's clear that the people in management who I interacted with are not concerned with truthfulness, integrity, or reputation in any way. They have gone through 3 rounds of employees in 8 months! That's 3 complete waves of turnover in less than a year. They are in certification and logistics of major commodities and foodstuffs, but they are willing to bend rules and cheat the system to align with whatever the client wants in the short-term. This unethical practice is clearly apparent, but people keep quiet as they fear for their jobs. Almost every employee who was not in a managerial role complained about and suffered under the oppressive management of the company. The dysfunction ran bottom to top in this company, and unless you are hired in as senior management, you will suffer. The culture is such that senior managers don't do much, and the workers are squeezed and pressured into doing everything.

Pros

Operational staff are motivated to work for very little pay and long hours to keep service level high for clientbase. Management encourages bad behaviour and lack of integrity.

Cons

Incompetence of management Distrusting company culture Lack of transparancy and integrity Hard workers are not rewarded Office politics

Pros

- Diverse staff and international experience - Learn about a diversity of areas in the certifications industry

Cons

The company is quite chaotic in general as each office runs somewhat independently, and rather than working together they compete for clients/revenue, so there's constant internal negotiation, which makes it really hard to work well. Their systems and processes are quite outdated (who makes budgets in Word?). Management is by and large made of older white dudes, so it's difficult for a woman to advance (among with other more delicate issues, if you know what I mean...). The Florida office has an incredible high turn over of people, and anyone who has worked there will recognize that a 5 star "excellent company" that blames the international offices for being slow in the Cons section is definitely a fake review written by the management there. Please beware of fake reviews and save yourself heartache and exploitation as the management is horrible (lack of integrity, disorganized, the big boss hardly works, etc.). So many of my past colleagues suffered a big blow to their career by joining this company, and those who stay are there because they are afraid of not finding another option, but complain continuously about how overworked and unhappy they are.
