Pros
1. Flexible working hours (you can leave once your work is completed) 2. Supportive colleagues 3. A good place to learn where u can gain a wide range of knowledge and work exposure
Cons
1. Salary paid late 2. No fixed salary payment date (although it is usually paid before the 7th of each month). This can cause delays in meeting financial commitments and may result in interest charges on loans 3. EPF/KWSP contributions/SOCSO (PERKESO) are delayed by up to 3 months. Although they are eventually paid, delays can negatively affect loan records. Contributions are already deducted from salary, so they should be paid on time SITUATION: EPF (KWSP) and SOCSO (PERKESO) contributions are not made monthly as expected There is a delay of approximately 3 months for each contribution Example of the pattern: If you join in March, your March contribution will only be paid around June/July April contribution will only be paid around July/August May contribution will only be paid around August/September June contribution will only be paid around September/October This means contributions are consistently backdated and not reflected in real time —Although contributions are eventually made, the delay may affect financial records, especially for loan or credit applications 4. Outstanding PCB (tax) payments for employees 5. Some colleagues from other departments are overly intrusive and involve themselves in others’ personal matters 6. Managers and leadership lack professionalism and do not follow proper work standards 7. High turnover rate, many resignations and frequent replacements. 8. Directors and managers are often not present in the office, causing delays in processes such as document signing and approvals
