Think twice before joining the Marketing/Sales DepartmentThe good things- Gained exposure to healthcare marketing and hospital operations
- Opportunities to contribute to campaigns, branding efforts
The challengesHR Communication:
– Pre-employment communication lacked clarity and irresponsive
– On the first day, basic details was unavailable, even the office location had to be clarified through the hospital guard
Leadership and Team:
– Team leader provided minimal support & interaction, leaving roles & expectations ambiguous, basically I only realized she's my leader until the very last day
Workplace Culture:
– Instances of unprofessional communication (e.g., Senior staff often use ironic words toward newly appointed manager, and he eventually left
– Publicly humiliate colleagues in group chats & emails over minor mistakes, instead of providing feedback, chose to cc everyone in the department and posed it as a "gentle reminder" in the email with names clearly stated
- Differential treatment toward contract staff, who were often excluded from meetings and access to company resources
- High turnover rate
Management Style:
- Micro management from the CEO in group chat, giving out his "feedback"
