Pros

Good opportunity if you're starting to work on IT.

Cons

Low salary. Old technology. A lot of bad "Mexican boss behavior". They don't ask; you just wake up and suddenly you have 24/7 (including holidays) responsibility for on-call support. And yes, you're also a developer at the same time, and you have the same salary. Did you have vacations on those days? Who cares. Go and change your plans that management asked you to save 13 weeks before. Work phone? What is that? Give your personal number to clients so they can call you 24/7. Oh, and if you need any help from the owner of the app, go call him with your own phone. They ask you to work 40 hours, and you only register 40 hours. But you are also obligated to work 48 hours if they want. No extra hours payment. $100 penalty if you don't finish a course in one month that they ask you to finish in 4 months (you can get 6 of them at the same time). These are some small letters that you can see on the contract or things that they just started implementing.

Advice to Management

Stop doing what you're doing. Everything was really good at the beginning. Then you just changed management structure.
