Pros

1) Brand Name in shipping world, doors will open if you have that on your resume 2) "financial stress" even in economic downturn is really low due to the size of the company

Cons

1) Too distant from the head office,which means the little office politics wins over anything else, and being in the right "network" really counts. 2) The information flow from the main offices (France) to ours in Italy is reallt low and scarce. Sometimes, form months, we just do know nothing about where our company is heading or at least stands
