Pros
The office location and facilities are good
Cons
The HR Manager lacked the leadership, empathy, and people skills expected from someone responsible for managing employees. As a female leader in a people-centered role, I had hoped to experience a more compassionate and supportive approach, but unfortunately that was not the case. Team members were expected to perform independently but were not always given the guidance and support needed to succeed. Rather than feeling developed and motivated, employees often felt criticized, discouraged, and undervalued. There was a noticeable gap between the company’s core value of “malasakit” and the actual employee experience. The workplace could have been much better if employees felt genuinely supported, respected, and encouraged to grow.
Unfortunately, the high attrition rate reflects the challenges many employees experienced under the current leadership. Despite the company requiring employees to serve a bond, retention remains a significant issue, with very few employees choosing to stay long-term once their obligations are fulfilled.
