Pros

Career Opportunities Compensations & Benefits - For those that are new, it is good training ground and getting some real exposure in the industry and then joins the industry. Culture & Values There is a special team is employed just to do Cultures and Values and holding a senior level position. Diversity & Inclusion Same as above Senior Management Once you are in the position, you can practically chill and 'delegate' Work / Life Balance - A lot of emphasis on WLB and mental health

Cons

Career Opportunities - Once you reached the senior responder level, there is only the limited opportunities available to you. Unless there are vacancies at the top, there are no chance beyond Duty Manager. Compensations & Benefits - The salary is good only if you crossed Grade 7 but after then you are stucked and a lot of unhappiness arises because people who are in the senior management position in their circle of unconscious incompetence and a deadweight to the company but will do all to keep tehir job and rice bowl. Culture & Values - The special team tasked to do 'Great place to work' feedback are only doing this and nothing else. Talked about efficiency. Also in APAC it is becoming a Muslim dominated culture where they have the 'multi faith prayer room' that only Muslims will use. BUT what comes first? work or religion? Diversity & Inclusion- Ditto Senior Management - Senior managers are living in their comfort bubbles and refusing to acknowledge that there are issues and competent people are leaving the company which is a norm and the quick fix is to keep employing and training new hires. Work / Life Balance - Once the floodgate of too much where people claims Work life balance off even when they are working from home and when the announcement of cancellation of work life balance were declared many are unhappy so why open the floodgates in the first place.

Pros

Flex benefit (an extra 5% of your salary to spend on benefits or pre-paid card). Semi-hybrid working Job security (cautiously view this as there is a cost-cutting push internally)

Cons

Highly toxic company culture. Brownnosing is the only way to progress. Merit is not rewarded. High degree of nepotism. If there are any performance issues that might reflect negatively on senior management, it gets buried. This is a common approach across the company. Mistakes by mid/senior management and the executive team are CONSTANTLY hidden or swept under the carpet. The same happens for certain 'chosen few'. If you happen to be a favourite of a manager or group of managers, then you are given access to opportunities that catapult you further and faster than your peers. The CEO inappropriately touched several women at the company Christmas party over two years ago, and has been allowed to see out his tenure till retirement. The defence given on his behalf, was that 'he didn't have breakfast and had been drinking since earlier in the day, which accounts for his state and behaviour). This is just one example of how senior management get away with atrocious behaviour. The company focus seems to be keep the members happy so that we can continue to collect member fees. There is very little focus on objective measurable performance. Also there is no appetite for outside objective scrutiny or business transformation. These fees run the company, so that means as long as fees are collected at the start of the year all salaries/benefits/bonuses etc are pretty much guaranteed.

Pros

For many people, the money's good, the benefits are good, and if that's all that rocks your boat, great. Once you're in, you could easily last there for 10, 20 years.

Cons

But serious problems with quality of leaders, managers, culture. Loads of staff planning to leave at moment (I'm about to resign too). So if you're looking at these guys, maybe wait a year or so until they start reorganising. The main staff-killer is the policy of forcing people back into the office. That lost a lot of trust. It's 20th-century stuff.
