Pros

If you are new to HR, it is: - Good exposure to HR policies and recruitment procedures. - Good exposure to meeting different kinds of people in the course of the job

Cons

- Upper management likes to micro manage staff - Lots of politics and backstabbing. - High turn over rate for certain positions - People not happy if you leave on the dot - Salary remunerated is unjustifiable and peanuts. - HR Department short on manpower and hence slow to make final offers, losing potential candidates and wasting the effort of fellow colleagues sourcing for candidates to fill the role. - Given old Windows 98 computers and expected to work miracles on it. - At one period, had to even share computers and expected to perform. Efficient indeed.

Pros

Nothing good to share about this company. Understaffed and expected to work 24hrs. Low wages (starting salary engineers are 3350 - jokes). Dont get me started on the diploma/nitec/hnitec pay. Don’t bother joining especially if you’ve a local degree. They’ve an extremely high turnover due to their toxic environment.

Cons

People will secretly take audio recordings of your conversations and use it against you without you knowing. Good luck if you really want to join this backstabbing culture of a company.

Pros

Employees get to enjoy free transport

Cons

Employees will not be receiving monthly incentives of $XXX for that particular month if they took sick leave for more than one day for that month. Not to be barred from this requirement, genuine critically ill and poor employees are forced to go to work.
