    Up to your discretion
    The good thingsOld timers say 2 things about the company; either its a very good company or they are complacent. I'd rather go with the former. Lots of old timers here- who keep re-using the same vendor and supplier. Loads of people to share their experience after you have grown attached to them. As an organization that's coming up with its innovative offering, I wish they'd do the same with their workplace environment. It's an old office with a conventional set of furniture and set up. They need new blood.
    The challengesInternal politics, awful furniture and new young employees. The mentality of speaking in 1 dialect needs to change; it's an MNC and not a local run set up. Accountability needs to be done right- top to bottom approach- from everyone to everyone.

    Promoter
    The good thingsBasic salary is above average and if you are a good performer, you can get a lot of commission. Training will be provided. Opportunities to work at different outlets based on your location. For me, I worked during the weekends to boost my salary.
    The challengesThe commission rate is continuously declining. Some products are too expensive and the market is niche. Promoter must possess certain amount of persuasive skill to get potential buyers because the items are not a necessity, but it does add value to customers life.

    The good thingsThe Company has expose me to various area of expertise during my short stint and expect me to be versatile in workplace so I can gain more exposure and contribute more with the department and generally to assist other department. Colleagues I worked with gave support in order to complete task in a team.
