Pros
1. BNM is CGC's main shareholder with 78.7% interest, so the company will not run out of business anyhow 2. Work-life balance 3. Friday long break, 2.5 hours
Cons
1. Human Resources Department is not transparent and not advocating HR values and personalities as needed. - Any sort of important info are discretely given from top to bottom instead of via emails or channels - E.g. We were only informed that we need to clock-in/out via an app on 30 October 2021 in a workshop (as a surprise agenda) and said we must do it from 1 November 2021 onwards - Onboarding process very bad, it was only done like 2-4 weeks after you joined - There are compulsory e-learning courses to take but only informed 1 month later after you joined 2. Digitalization in words, traditional management in action - There is an ongoing strategic initiatives for digitalization but a lot of obstruction to all the plans instead of supporting the plans. - Reporting structure is still very hierarchical, which means a lot of things do not have empowerment to the people who are actually working on the things. They/We would need to frequently ask for decisions even for the simplest matter - Our working hours are closely monitored as we need to clock-in/out via our staff card. Even working remotely, we'd need to go into the app to clock-in/out. There is no trust established - Every part of the office is partitioned with old style carpet and table arrangements. Don't get me started on the "clean" washroom. (This is just a rant) 3. Below market average paygrade and bad career growth - In here, you may stay the same Executive for more than 5 years without any actual career path plans. There is no actual growth per say unless you got in from outside to a higher position. Even then, you'd be in the same situation - Comparing to banks and tech companies out there, their pay grade are below market average
