Pros
Gained solid experience in purchasing processes within a manufacturing environment.
Exposure to cross-departmental coordination and hands-on involvement in procurement operations.
Supportive colleagues and a team-oriented work culture among peers.
Cons
Management Style: Direct supervisor (HOD) often practices micromanagement, lacks trust in staff, and displays poor communication—frequently scolding employees publicly and assigning blame without proper investigation.
Lack of Professionalism: Habitual tardiness, last-minute requests, and frequent use of "urgent" labels to pressure employees, creating unnecessary stress.
Poor Work-Life Balance: Employees are often pushed to work overtime without compensation. Taking leave can be difficult, with little empathy shown toward personal circumstances.
Low Compensation and Benefits: Salary is below industry standard with minimal benefits and perceived favoritism in evaluations and opportunities.
Toxic Work Culture: Mistakes, even minor ones, are met with immediate warning letters instead of constructive feedback or guidance.
