Pros

Stable. People are old and friendly. As many staffs retired every year, you may get more opportunities. Employees do not have to contribute to MPF schemes which is very rare in Hong Kong. Employees can save money as payment on shares monthly in the Credit Union through payroll deduction.

Cons

Old seafood culture. High hierarchy. Boss is always right. People with bad manner (e.g. Never response when you say "good morning" to boss directly to their faces) Extremely underpaid company. If you're not from a GT program, they don't care about your career development at all no matter how hard you work. Since covid, their main goals are focusing on how to cut costs across all departments. Salary has been frozen for 3 years even gained consistently good performance reviews in appraisals, meanwhile company notify everyone the annual profit of company has greatly increased every year. They are still using outdated technology to check invoices which required PC to downgrade to use Window XP mode. Not willing to change or invest money to improve systems. Their technology is far behind the market for 20 years plus. Roles and responsibilities are not defined clearly. People are wasting time on meaningless work process and never think a way to improve or fix it.
