Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Southpole full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Free Lunch. Allows employees to watch Korean world cup games.
Cons
1 week vacation, 1 week sick days for first 5 years of employment. Internal political warfare by managers constantly (worse than current partisanship of dems and republicans). Managers view/treat staff as children. Crappy salary. Managers will call you at all hours.
Advice to Management
None. They're set in their ways.

Pros
Free daily breakfast (they stop serving at 8:30am)
Cons
Korean-run company so unless you are Korean or of Asian descent, good luck trying to get anything accomplished in this company. From consistent sexual harassment, racism, to age discrimination, I am shocked that this company can still be around for so many years. Horrible internal communication and inefficient internal practices that makes day-to-day activities extremely stressful.
Advice to Management
Respect your employees and do not inflict your cultural values and expectations on your staff.
