Pros
It’s safe to say that the only good thing about working here would be my fellow colleagues. Then again, if you’re reading this, they have all left already.
Cons
Working here has been really tough. You’ll be expected to meet ridiculous deadlines and severe micro management. The company, run by both mother and daughter, have the worst organisation skills. It will be of no surprise if you have to stay up at 12am just to prepare and post for a new launch because they decided to bring forward even though it was originally planned to be two weeks later. You can expect to post min. 3 postings a day on IG and having to redo the same post for at least 6 times because the daughter will pinpoint a colour she doesn’t like or a font she prefers or the phrasing she wants, and sometimes, even the product placement. In such situations, you’ll be so frustrated. With that said, the one thing that REALLY ticks me off is when your boss is irresponsible and gives you crap excuses. As I was the only marketing person in charge then, I was struggling to finish my tasks as I had a lot of things at hand given the new launch being pushed forward + last minute flash deals. The daughter and I always work closely together, so I voiced out to her and asked for her help. She claimed that she’s unable to as she had an urgent meeting to attend to. But guess what?! Her meeting was to do her god damn eyelashes. There has been a lot of instances where she’ll use meeting as an excuse to do her hair, eyelashes, have lunch with influences or simply going down to their spa to do 2-4 hours long facial and massages. Last but not least, the benefits here are pretty trash. I will not go into details but in terms of leave entitlement + Medical Claims + company benefits, don’t expect much. All in all, do think twice if you’re really considering to apply here. Everyday is a battlefield and it’s going to be a long and bumpy ride. They are not easy to work with and they do not accept criticism well either. So… good luck to you!
