Do your due diligence - Talk to other MTPs.

Management trainee program

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Creating strong bonds with other MTPs - Miami is a beautiful city for temporary living (wouldn't do it for long term)

Cons

3G Capital corporate culture is extremely cutthroat. I am a hard worker and a very competitive person but when it comes to this culture, it's mentally and physically draining. I work over 60 -70 hours a week with no extra compensation. Upward mobility as the company promised does not actually happen here since they are always trying to cut people and make the lower guy do all the work. Definitely talk to some of the trainees from the program before you sign up for this job as HR will LIE to you. Ever wonder why HR won't let you talk to the current trainees? The only people they let you talk to are in the HR department since they already have everything choreographed. If you were my friend, I would recommend that you stay away from the program and the company. You are basically fearing when you will be let go next. The saying at BK is, "It's not a matter of IF you get let go, but WHEN you get let go" Leaving the company was a blessing.

Its all about the Metrics not the People.

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunity for growth. As a Full-Time Employee in Corporate you will be guaranteed an opportunity to make a significant impact. Corporate operates very lean on the analyst level which means there is never a dull moment and plenty of work.

Cons

Extremely high turnover due to metrics based system of measuring performance and output. No concept of work life balance. Ability to receive bonuses limited due to unrealistic company goals and employee requirements. Loyalty and Longevity are both nonexistant with this company.
