Pros
-Being hired by one of the PH's biggest conglomerate is very fulfilling in the start. - Also, there is a rice subsidy allowance every quarter that other companies doesn't offer so fair enough. - A lot of opportunities to connect with the people in the marketing industry. Suppliers, movie production houses (I worked for the Cinema), media partners, etc. -You get to travel for work -I became stronger and more patient after being under the supervision of a terror boss
Cons
-Low salary -The people are close minded and think of themselves as "the best". When in truth, there are so many ways to learn and grow. Their marketing team needs a creative mind that will think out of the box and don't always stick to traditional marketing concepts. - My former boss, (and I say boss because she always wants to be treated like one) is not a leader at all. She doesn't know or have the patience to teach her staff. She lets another Marketing Officer teach me wherein I would only be advised to copy the documents from previous projects. She will always demand us to work after office hours and weekends even if we could do it during office hours (she is usually 2 hours late to work or do personal errands during working hours), giving us 0% work-life balance. She'll go to month long trips abroad even though there are big projects lined up and when you mess up she will scream at you regardless if it's a public place or the office where people from other departments could hear. But the moment you do something right, she makes sure to get all the credits. The turnover rate of people in her department is constant, Marketing Officer and assistant every year, sometimes months. She was the worst boss an employee could encounter, and that's a fact because all the people under that was under her supervision received the same ill-treatment. It was a known thing inside the company but the HR does the bare minimum about it.
