Pros

You can earn money if you bootlick and work hard. Work hard = hitting daily KPIs.

Cons

Daily KPIs are impossible to hit. No training provided. Toxic and political environment created by Manager and Team Lead. Extreme Micro Management by Team Lead - Will note down the amount of time you take to pee/take a dump. - Will ask you the reason for taking your Annual Leaves. - Will change rules and policies just to make you quit. - Team members left one by one because of this Team Lead. Zero transparency and zero standardization on promotions/sales incentive. Stop posting fake reviews la pls

Pros

supportive colleagues (not all of them) warning: read the CONS before joining the company

Cons

The management fosters a highly unsupportive and demoralizing work environment, where employees are often made to feel inadequate and undervalued, with little to no accountability taken for poor leadership practices. Despite promotions, there is no meaningful growth or development, and employees are left feeling stagnant in their roles. Micromanagement is excessive to the point where even briefly checking your phone is frowned upon, creating unnecessary pressure throughout the workday. Employees are also expected to justify attending to urgent personal or emergency matters, which feels intrusive and unprofessional. There is a clear lack of respect for employees’ time and boundaries, as staff are frequently expected to complete pending tasks after working hours without any overtime compensation. Unrealistic KPIs add to this pressure, with managers offering little practical guidance beyond repetitive, ineffective strategies, leaving employees to figure things out on their own. Training is minimal, with only a small portion of the role properly explained, making it difficult for new hires to succeed. Additionally, the culture around performance is discouraging. Employees who do not meet KPIs are often treated poorly and looked down upon, while those who do meet their targets receive little recognition. When employees express the intention to resign, management tends to apply pressure and use manipulative tactics to make them stay, rather than respecting their decision. Overall, this environment lacks support, transparency, and respect for employee wellbeing, making it a challenging place for long-term growth or job satisfaction.

Pros

Talent Trader Group Philippines really gets GenZ culture. Kahit mix of Gen X and millennial managers, there’s literally no awkward generational gap—they know how to meet us where we are and actually listen. Hindi yung “back in my day” vibes, more like guidance + trust.

Cons

KPI. But know that most corporate jobs has metric system for you to be regular and become permanent employee. To those who says KPI are unachievable, maybe because company has high expectations from you specially if you have prior experience. Or if non-experienced, maybe this job is really not for you.
