9a. Would you recommend Iceland to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I would for the family in store feel. we are a small team and we all love eachother dearly, and the pay is good, But the company as a whole has got to the point where they are cutting budgets down to the point where we are killing ourselves

Its great for flexibilty and for a great work environment but expect to be worked as hard as you can
