GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:factor, dependiente y mancebo
English translation:managers, clerks and trainees

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / corporate
Spanish term or phrase: factor, dependiente y mancebo
Coursework for a commercial law degree:

Programa de derecho mercantil
Tema 1. Empresario y empresa
Estatuto jurídico del empresario: Registro Mercantil, contabilidad y responsabilidad
Especial referencia a la responsabilidad por productos defectuosos.
***Auxiliares del empresario: factor, dependiente y mancebo***

I'm guessing Factor must be some kind of adminstrative worker, sort of middle high up, and the list gets progressively more menial. But dependientes?? mancebos?? I thought only pharmacists had mancebos.

Suggestions appreciated. TIA, MJ

Explanation:
Larousse gives young person as mancebo. Robb's legal dictionary ony refers to manceba (concubine). Following your logic, it could be trainee, apprentice or office boy.

I used "managers, clerks and trainees", because they are *all* employees.
