1. Micromanaged: Constantly being told what to do and opinions aren't considered. Pestering emails on when the work will be done, sometimes threatened with warning letters when you don't meet deadlines
2. Unrealistic expectations: You get pawned off an insane amount of work that isn't really required practically but still expected to deliver.
3. No work-life balance: You get salary deductions for being late more than 30mins, no personal phones allowed during working hours. At times, a leave-freeze is administered during certain periods of the year with no apparent reasons.
4. No employee benefits or morale
5. Extremely low pay
6. No overtime pay: you're expected to stay and work with Department Heads past 5pm and over event days with no exceptions to recovering from being overworked.
7. Very strict with number of hours worked over efficiency: Very suspicious if you're not seen 100% working, in the kitchen, catching up with colleagues or just taking a break.
8. No departmental systems in place
9. No HR: There's no safe place to relate your concerns, as there's no employee help systems. Family members create policies as and when they deem fit.
10. Lack of trust :Spot checks on phones and laptops, constantly monitored on CCTV
11. No opportunities for growth: there's only executives and managerial levels. There's no growth systems in place that determine a natural progression. Highest level positions are all taken by family members.
12. Lack of professionalism: No departmental communication is observed, work is given by word of mouth. You're not treated like a professional earning the job, rather like a student being given instructions.
