Stable & secure source of Income but stagnant growth at career
Pros
1. PLDT Inc. offers numerous bonuses and excellent health benefits. The health benefits provide you with supplements and vitamins that you will need whenever you are tested for any possible sickness and also covering all hospital bills you might incur. 2. The yearly increase is guaranteed for all employees within the ranks, regardless of individual performance. For management or executive increase is still guaranteed but the amount depends on the yearly performance of the company. 3. The working environment is pleasant, despite the internal politics within the company.
Cons
1. It's not a favorable start for new grads as they offer a low initial salary. 2. As mentioned in the pros, the yearly increase for ranks had an adverse effect on the performance of employees, leading to a decline in motivation to seek improvement. (Though this is my own opinion and observation) 3. The internal politics are deeply rooted; without connections within the company, promotions or career growth may be challenging unless you make a truly exceptional impression on the executives. It's worth noting that family and friends often take priority in such situations.
