Pros

Friendly colleagues. That is all.

Cons

Every single day when you go to work, be prepared to face the higher up's demeaning, insulting words, mindgames and brings you down. Never ask him, he will scold you say "Why dont know but never ask?". Ask him, he will scold you say "Why ask me? Go figure it out yourself.". Got anger management issues - bang table. Quarelled with him over whatsapp - He ask a colleague (note: the colleague no longer works there at this time of writing) to come and take a look at our conversation. Then when the higher up ask me come to his desk, I got fed up and said I know you ask the colleague to come see our conver. Then he denied of such thing and said he was merely talking to him about smth else. When I asked the colleague, he admitted that indeed the higher up told him to come see our conver. What an immature action coming from an old man. Management knows about his poor behaviour, quick temperament and insulting words, saying we stupid. But all they tells us is basically to suck it up but they put in a sugarcoat way. (: "Please bear it with him. After all he is your higher up and he has the experience.". Having over 30 yrs or 40 yrs or 50 yrs of experience doesn't mean you can say ppl no common sense, say ppl stupid. Anyway, he says that to everyone not just me.

Pros

Most colleagues are nice Work is interesting and wide variety to do Will learn a lot of stuff, good for fresh grads as it will look good on your resume

Cons

- Non-existent employee benefits, no staff discount etc etc. - 10 days annual leave only - VERY low starting salary. The excuse they will give is that ‘it’s actually standard market rate’. Or if they tell you it’s because of the pandemic, ITS NOT. don’t believe them, they are just cheapskate! - Management is very stingy with money, can promise us all the upgrades but it never happens. But somehow they have money to keep opening new stores - HR Seem to take advantage of foreign staff, and make them work very long hours inc on weekends - High turnover rate in certain departments like logistics, but some other department executives are nice

Pros

Independent learning, train yourself from your own experience. Good for fresh grads that need to fill their resumes (please read contract carefully). Be prepared to do tasks outside of your job scope.

Cons

Many rules enforced which sometimes feel suffocating and you're always watched. Not a place for long term growth since it's hard for a big company to change. Be prepared for inefficient workflows by the lack of changes over the years. Team communication is not the best, not everyone is able work well according to their job scope.
