    Think twice before you accept any job offers here. The recruiter can be the best here but trust me do not trust them and get yourself into a trick.
    The good things1. Friendly working environment. Nice colleagues. Young teammates. 2. Got many employee activities for you to join but due to high workload issues you won't have other spare time to join. 3. Learn about knowledge on SAP system and knowing about the shipment and the ordering process.
    The challenges1. 8.5 working hours. 2. High workload, high turnover. 3. No work life balance. 4. Have to support on certain weekends especially during closing period. 5. Requires to stay back after office hours if your job still haven't completed. 6. Poor benefits. 7. Parking management system here is horrible.
