Pros
• Nice colleagues (most of them) • Decent remuneration package
Cons
1) Unprofessional, lousy management • Always playing politics • Micromanage, lack of trust for employee • Delegating new task/initiatives to employees with no prior background/relevant skills set and expecting them to perform up to “standard” that are not quantified (always using qualitative expectations to manage performance), lack of training resources • Emotional, takes conflict on a personal level and showing attitude • Hurling vulgarities unnecessarily • Integrity, promising one thing to employees but doing another behind the scenes or change their • Narcissistic. Favoring and promoting incompetent employees that suck up to them, neglecting high competence employees who deserves the chance to lead. • Lack of respect for employee’s decisions, taking it personally when employee choose to leave • Tunnel vision, lack of critical thinking at different perspective, always think that they are right just because they have more years of “working experience” • Lack of foresight, always hiring people with skill sets/experience that are irrelevant, base interview performance by personal preference (looks, similar background with hiring manager themselves but not complementary to the team) 2) Ridiculous Organisational Structure • Assistant manager level do not actually lead a team, they are fully executional staffs that are only given the position to justify their high pay. • No leadership training and too much executional work to push and train assistant managers to lead a team • Lack of progression, no quantifiable KPIs, no actual KPI system to determine performance 3) Insane Workload, OT Culture • Ground level staff are handling multiple responsibilities at one go with no room for breather • No work-life balance • OT culture, management tend to value incompetent, inefficient and pretentious employees who put up a show by working overtime, and expect efficient workers to do the same. 4) Backstabbing (40% of colleagues) - a lot of backstabbing going on, particularly those that are trying to suck up to higher management. 5) Location • Located at a discreet location in Jurong, hard to access even though shuttle bus services are provided • Have to drive out for lunch or otherwise walk 10 mins to the nearest food place
