    Customer Service
    Feb 2026
    Pusat Bandar Damansara Kuala Lumpur6 to 7 years in the role, current employee
    Read this before taking job for customer service
    The good thingsA good step place to start your banking experience, but not a place to stay
    The challengesSalary = No salary negotiation. After working more than 5 years, any new staff who join will still get higher salary than you KPI / bonus = your KPI is both individual and team effort, if you're doing well but the team isn't performing, you'll still get low KPI which equal to lower bonus allocation split among your team Skills = on-the-job training, but the skills aren't transferable. They rather hire new staff than retain experience staff. Mistake that cause losses to the bank is on step towards termination Worktime = Sometimes you need to work beyond the working hours, weekdays and public holidays without OT Team = Some old staff does thing slow and does not know the process properly. There's Union worker, which some of them are really bad and avoid doing extra work Workload = You've to juggle with cross-selling, customer service and office work. Low cross-selling or complaints means you have to prepare face the management. Slow office work means messy and unfinished work Good Luck

    The good thingsPay your salary on time. Entitled more annual leaves than other comapny can offer
    The challengesHigh turnover rates. Call U even on ur off-duty/MC. Poor top mgmnt, cause many projects fail & get lots of bad review from client Unprofessional docs/training based on gmeet demo and did not provide accurate/updated guildine.

    Harsh and lack of understanding management
    The good thingsI cannot think of any. Maybe train you to become a robot.
    The challenges1. Bad salary. 2. Too much work that are not within the job scope. As a result, you have to work till late night or weekend to achieve your KPI. 3. A lot of things are still manually done. Imagine bank has huge database and everything is done manually. Nightmare!

    Challenging but fun.
    The good things1. I would say that all colleagues in the office are very friendly and encouraging despite me not having adequate experience and they were willing to guide me along the way. 2. The company is very good in taking care of its employee with great benefits and work-life balance.
    The challenges1.Its quite stressful like any other company but that's how work is suppose to be which I don't complain but overall there's not a lot to say about the cons working at this company.
