ST Logistics Reviews

Worked for really long but still no opportunity for promotiom because ceo had a preferred person to promote. Increment each year is as thou it's pity money. Very pathetic

Observations: How good it is depends on your boss you work under. Below are some of my observations and feedback gathered from the grapevine. Not all bosses are bad. There are good bosses where the below negative points are truly not an issue at all. High turnover largely due to disparity between interview agreements and actual job description. Something which HR doesn't get feedback on when people exit as no one wants to say bad things. Good hardworking people get "rewarded" with more work - those unable to perform get bailed out - abundance of "side projects" to shine and expose to if you are young and very interested in learning - money rewards are lacking in the last few years to remunerate accordingly - Transfers occur more often out of "lack of fit" rather than because of merit as low performers get "bailed out" Promotions occur at stipulated time-indicated milestones - good performance does not ensure promo and salary increase - some do not get promoted despite actively taking on expanded job scopes into management and supervising, unless you have clocked the required "years" - no assured adjustment of salary upon attaining your masters or degree or diploma Sorely lacking in a credible and dependable large enterprise HR - orientation Programme has much to improve on - does not recognise (appreciate) working over time especially if staff are willing to go to extra mile for the sake of a deadline - training is mediocre, and you really have to ask your superior to try to get you budget to get into a course you're interested in. - very little is done to engage the executives and staff in organisation-wide policy creation - recruitment is not dynamic and energetic; a lot depends on 3rd party agencies - remunerations are not attractive to local uni graduates and retaining talent; high turnover results and there is severe knowledge leakage - the HR recruiters have limited knowledge of the ops and job scope to suitably hunt for good candidates Former military/home team servicemen and women get offered between 15% to 35% higher salary than those of same age, same academic, same years experience. These are highly favoured against regular plebeians, though not often do these candidates arrive with much ample management, industry or skills expertise. There has been a decline of such former military talent, although it is not rare Salary policy is generally 5-15% lower than market and often like to "commit" that bonus are high in lieu of Low basic Most departments are under-staffed and over worked. HQ will be moving to Tuas soon and it's far Personal opinion: one will know you are severely prized if you don't get promoted, your job scope increases, and there is generally venial things to criticise about your performance such as - attire (skirt must be below the knee, dye hair Colour, socks mandatory for loafers on casual Friday ) - duration of lunch - punctuality - messy table/work space - "are you really that busy" criticism You tend to be perceived as one of the higher end good workers when you - come 15 mins early before work - don't speak loudly; speak well and politely - dress well - don't go to toilet often - don't use Internet for personal things even during lunch - don't use your phone and/or messaging often + after the above, when you do your work well, you will surpass expectations and be given more work This place is conservative in its management and truly ok if you believe you aren't a "strawberry" or self entitled millennial
