Pros

Salary package is frequently reviewed.

Cons

1) No work-life balance: staff work during day time and attend long, inefficient meetings in the evening. Effective staff may have to work 12-13 hours/ day. Working during weekend and public holiday is required with minimum compensation for this position. 2) Constant shortage of staff: The high turn over rate leads to a constant staff shortage, especially in operation. This causes current staff to be asked to overwork or to be transferred to new role without any training. 3) Middle managers lacking management skill: Very weak task allocation skill, lack of experience in mange diverse team (with multinational members). Seniors/middle managers do not listen to staff's feedback, instead impose their seniority by blaming staff and insist that they are right. 4) Insufficient safety procedure and training for on-the-field staff: During the time in the company, I have witnessed 4 people being injured (one with broken ankle, one with broken palm, one falling down from high cargo and one falling down in the container and got hit by a big nail) during field work. 5) Unreasonable customers: if unlucky, staff may have to work with unreasonable customers who ask for big shipment being prepared in one day, or cancel shipment last minute. The company does not have any mitigation measure (e.g. contract terms, penalty policy) for these circumstances.

Pros

Company transport, good friendship with old uncles who are not recognised for their efforts

Cons

Too many management trainee that it doesnt take much for u to be a manager except to be chinese and also know how to carry balls. Managers are mostly playing facebook or sleeping or even playing games while you work like slogs. No benefit. Employees get penalised for leave taken because of sick child etc and get terminated without any warnings. You can really see the racism going on but since Benson (CEO) is chinese he wouldnt give AF. High staff turnover because of this. 3 out of 5 employees resign after only 2 weeks.

Pros

I wish there were pros to even mention

Cons

Management is the most insensitive I've seen in my years of working. Likes to wait for complaints to pour in before even taking any actions. Likes to disappear like David Copperfield disappears in some of his magic tricks, 10/10 wouldn't recommend anyone to join
