    if you not married yet and you are in this bank , you are still lucky , leave now , you only live once .
    The good thingsno commission . but basic pay is acceptable
    The challengeswork life balance 404 error not found . never listen employees opinion , those high pay management role at hq only care about themselves and giving unrealistic kpi for branches plus micro management from the superior , the staff turnover rate is high and they are highly lack of staff right now , so meaning existing staff will have more burden to cover up the short fall

    Heavy workload with a lot of manual tasks and no teamwork
    The good thingsGood performance bonus awarded to whoever meets assigned target.
    The challengesThe staffs are not cooperative, lack of teamwork. Like to blame each other on mistakes instead of collaborating together to solve problems. Seniors are complacent, reluctant to learn new things and not productive. Management is not friendly that results in autocratic environment that is not feasible to work with.
