Concerning Workplace Culture
Over the past year, I visited this company several times to pick up and drop off a family member, who worked there. From those visits, and from their describing their day‑to‑day experience, I formed an unfavourable impression of the organisation’s support for its staff. The atmosphere felt tense, the conditions appeared tight (too many people in such a small office), and morale appeared low. Although I wasn’t an employee or customer myself, what I observed and heard was enough to make me reluctant to engage with this business in any capacity.

Miguel,
The individual you refer to is a former employee whose contract was terminated due to serious breaches of trust, specifically, engaging in outside paid work while on medical leave subsidized by social security. This is both against labour regulations and fundamentally unethical, and it was our legal and professional obligation to act accordingly.
It’s disappointing to see public commentary emerge only after the working relationship ended. Notably, the former employee had expressed interest in returning to PACO prior to being formally confronted about the situation. Likewise, your previous engagement as a partner through MEO showed no concerns until after this dismissal, which raises questions about the timing and motivation behind your remarks.
At PACO, we take immense pride in the positive impact we’ve had - creating meaningful jobs across the country, offering above-market pay, annual bonuses, health insurance, and workplace flexibility. We remain committed to our team and our clients, and we stand by the values of fairness, transparency, and professionalism that guide our decisions.
We welcome open and respectful dialogue, but we will always protect our integrity, our team, and our reputation against false or misleading claims.
