    Production Executive
    Dec 2025
    Sungai Pelek SelangorLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    -Not good -No OT -Last minute work -No safety -Low salary (not match with the position)
    The good thingsFree breakfast & lunch only this good thing
    The challengesDespite being hired as a Production Executive, I was assigned operator-level tasks from my first day. This was disappointing, especially considering my previous 3 years of experience as a Senior Production Technician at a large multinational company with strong ISO audit practices. Decision-making in production was sometimes influenced by individuals without direct operational roles, which affected workflow efficiency and professionalism. Another challenge was frequent interference from non-operational senior family members of management in day-to-day production activities. This sometimes disrupted workflow and created unnecessary stress for staff. Additionally, there were instances where these individuals did not follow standard GMP and hygiene rules, which could affect audit readiness and overall quality compliance.

    The work experience is not ideal due to a strictly enforced quiet environment, a cautious HR approach, excessive work hours without overtime pay, and limited flexibility for leave. Micromanagement is prevalent, and employee suggestions are seldom implemented. Additionally, employees must cover their own medical expenses.
    The good things1. Complimentary parking is available. 2. Free breakfast and lunch are provided. 3.Helpful clique.
    The challenges1. A quiet working environment is enforced, and failure to comply may lead to management warnings. 2. Consider approaching HR with caution, as they may not always prioritize your best interests, particularly if they lack a formal background in human resources . 3. Employees are expected to work seven days a week, including weekends, with no overtime pay. Instead, replacement leave is offered but can only be taken when no colleagues are on leave, limiting its flexibility. 4. The company suffers from micromanagement. 5. Suggestions for improvement are requested but rarely implemented. 6. Working hours exceed legal limits, running from 8 AM to 6 PM, totaling more than 45 hours per week. 7. No overtime means everyone leaves promptly at 6 PM. 8. Medical expenses need to be covered by employees themselves. 9. All the positive reviews on this site appear to be fabricated, as employees are compelled to write them under pressure.

    Good place to improve stress management skills. Highly recommend to apply here as a secondary option.
    The good thingsNo traffic jam, breakfast and lunch provided, parking space available. Good air quality as office is located quite remotely in middle of plantation.
    The challengesZero worklife balance. OT on offdays but no appreciation from top management and get scolded even working without ot pay. Minimal leave days given on top of that, clear leave at the end of the year will be disliked by management. Gaslighting is a common tactic used by management.

    Challenging work environment that prioritizes independence to a fault.
    The good thingsFree Parking and Breakfast/Lunch. There are no other pros.
    The challengesNew employees are essentially thrown into the deep end and expected to figure everything out independently. Employees are expected to handle all aspects of their work without proper resources or mentorship. We need to use personal funds for sick leave is unacceptable.
