    Visitor Management Coordinator
    Dec 2025
    Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala Lumpur10 to 11 years in the role, former employee
    Interesting mission, but major issues with management and growth
    The good thingsI've had enjoyed the environment. My position have allowed me to meet with people around the world. Colleagues are fun to work with. Since it is a sub of Petronas,so the benefit are quite promising.
    The challengesManagement direction is often inconsistent, leading to unclear priorities and frequent misunderstandings. Communication between teams needs significant improvement, as it regularly slows down work. Staff feedback is not always taken seriously, and responses from management can sometimes discourage open dialogue. Career growth is limited, with few opportunities to advance or take on greater responsibilities. Career growth appears to be influenced more by favoritism than by skills or qualifications. The organization has potential especially my department, Visit Experience,but stronger leadership, clearer communication, and better development paths are needed to create a more supportive workplace.

    Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala LumpurLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    I gained hands-on experience in marketing, event coordination, and customer engagement while supporting various public programs and membership initiatives at Petrosains.
    The good thingsI really enjoyed being part of a team that combined education and creativity. Supporting events, helping visitors, and contributing to marketing campaigns gave me hands-on experience and showed me how meaningful it is to create engaging experiences for others.
    The challengesDuring my internship at Petrosains, I found that some of the tasks were quite repetitive and operational. While I learned a lot, I realized I prefer roles that offer more variety, creativity, and engagement.

    Full of exciting activities and fun workplace
    The good thingsI enjoy how everyone is very supportive and positive. You will see smiley faces everywhere and they are all friendly and very cheerful. Good teamwork when working too
    The challengesThere are times when communicating with visitors become a challenge due to language barriers and education levels, but these are the challenges that makes you a better communicator and more mature. Learning new science shows before presenting to visitors in such short span of time can be hard, especially the sophisticated ones, but this will only improve your way of adapting and learning fast.

    One of the best volunteer experiences
    The good thingsA great way for anyone of any age to volunteer in the name of science. There is almost something new to learn every day that perhaps was missed in school or perhaps didn't interest you until you saw it in another light. The staff are supportive to answer all the queries of the volunteers and to give a helping hand. Plus, your work friend is an animatronic dinosaur.
    The challengesNothing to add here considering it's a volunteer program where they teach you extensively about science before they hand you over to the centre.

    Great experience and workplace.
    The good thingsThe workplace is very nice. Other volunteers are friendly and willing to help each other. I was placed at Robotic Department and a lot of materials were prepared for us to expand our creativity in robotics. I was given an opportunity to discover my talent more when I'm working here. It was fun to work in a place that you can learn many things without limitation and in a relaxing mood.
    The challengesThe salary was not as high as other working place in KLCC. However, it suits the workload given to us.
