    What’s it like working at Lorna Whiston Sdn Bhd?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Lorna Whiston Sdn Bhd appreciate the flexibility offered by the 'extra hours' compensation system and the sense of belonging and family-like environment fostered by the company. The management, mostly expatriates, is praised for their staff-oriented approach and showing care for employees' well-being.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as weekend shifts, although the roster helps with planning. Additionally, there are concerns about certain expatriate managers having demeaning attitudes towards local employees. Reviewers also suggest that a more competitive remuneration package and opportunities for career growth could be areas for improvement.

    The good thingsIt felt like family, no matter that I was only there for a short while. There was ample encouragement given and it made for a very 'educating' experience
    The challengesThere are certain individuals in management who are expatriates and are quite demeaning in their attitudes towards the locals working in the establishment

    When Work and Home Bear A Little Difference
    The good thingsIf you're looking for a place that would provide a great sense of belonging,then Lorna Whiston has all my money in it.The management,mostly expatriates,take staff oriented matters seriously.How many company head would text a ground staff a get well soon and we missed you at work message when you're down with a just-a-cold MC?You build relationships for life here.
    The challengesI find perhaps a more competitive remuneration package for the employees would be an added bonus.The management should revise on being more of risk takers, which may improve overall company productivity.There should be more leniency in staff aspiring to climb up the ladder here.People tend to stay in the same position for a decade simply because there isn't exactly a 'higher'position available.
