    Despite good benefits, it still covered heavy workloads, poor leadership, & poor work-life balance.
    The good thingsGood staffs' benefits
    The challenges- Overloaded works tasks and underpaid salary - Incapable direct supervisor - low level of education and lack of transparency in leadership - KPI keep changing / changed for few times in a year. - No work life balance as need to chase for sales.

    Even though the one year was the most stressful and challenging of my entire career. I would have to thank CIMB Bank for the opportunity and also to my partners/ colleagues from other division that allowed me to learn and gain valuable knowledge in the consumer marketing banking line and also the digital journey a bank product would require to grow and gain audience.
    The good thingsStructured and processed driven
    The challengesImmediate boss has a bad temperament. Most of the time was on MC and when back in office will be micro managing. HOD would just allow it to happen.

    The company would not appreciate their own staff. Great company to join if your ex-boss ask you to join them there, else pls avoid as much as you can.
    The good thingsGetting paid even if you don’t work
    The challengesOffice politic and cronyism from top to bottom, don’t join via typical recruitment as you have zero chance to get promoted if you are not hired by “connection”.

    Demotivated to worked as Manager and above. Scenario happened AM salary can be up to RM13.5k per month.
    The good thingsGood for Union Staff (Low Rank Position: Assistant Manager and below). Fixed annual increment and salary adjustment every 3 years, one off festival payment.
    The challengesExtremely Bad remuneration package for Manager and above, having more workload than lower ranking staff with underpaid salary, increment for promotion is just similar to the salary adjusted for Union Staff. Many Feedback to GCEO, HR but no action was taken.

    The leadership team was often unresponsive to concerns and feedback, which created a sense of disconnect between employees and management.
    The good thingsI regret to say that my experience at this company was not what I had hoped for. While I appreciate the opportunity to work on various projects, I encountered some challenges that significantly affected my overall experience.
    The challengesThe office culture was not conducive to collaboration and growth. I often felt isolated and unsupported, leading to a difficult daily work experience.

    Supportive Superiors
    The good thingsWhile superior support promotes greater work-life enrichment, its effect on work-life conflict is limited. Therefore, instead of providing superior support, employers have to identify alternate resources to assist employees in dealing with conflict and interference in the work-life interface.
    The challengesThe modern customer is sharper, more savvy, and more informed than ever before, and they expect a high level of personalization and convenience from their banking experience. Shifting consumer demographics play a significant part in these heightened expectations: with each new generation of banking customers comes a deeper awareness of technology and, as a result, a greater expectation of digitised experiences.
