Pros

- The junior-level colleagues were friendly, warm, and a pleasure to work with

Cons

- The workplace culture was often toxic, with some staffs from the headquarter showing bullying behaviour toward colleagues over minor mistakes. - Leadership often portrayed themselves as flawless, while dismissing high turnover as being caused by low salaries. In reality, a significant portion of departures stemmed from poor management practices and negative work culture. - Communication was a persistent issue, with unclear or contradictory messages that created frustration and confusion. - Micromanagement was common, with little trust placed in junior staff, which created a stressful and discouraging environment. - Compensation was below industry standards, and opportunities for salary negotiation were almost nonexistent.

Toxic Workplace with Bullying Managers

Pros

the only thing that was good is the nice colleagues

Cons

Working here has been an absolute nightmare. The workplace culture is toxic, with incompetent managers who are bullying employees daily, yelling at them, and even calling them names. The salaries are extremely low. The work conditions are poorly managed, showing a complete lack of care for employees' well-being. I strongly advise anyone considering joining this company to look elsewhere—your mental health and professional dignity are worth more than this.
