    It's not a good experience working here as there is a lot of workload. The management needs to change their way to understand what employees going through.
    The good thingsI truly appreciate the medical benefits provided, having friendly and supportive colleagues creates a positive and motivating work environment.
    The challengesThe management style of the finance manager, who tends to micromanage, makes it challenging for employees to perform independently and with confidence. Furthermore, the working relationship between the finance head and the HR staff—who are husband and wife—raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest. Since both hold key decision-making roles, it creates a perception of bias and favoritism. There is also a high turnover rate, with many employees resigning due to the intense pressure imposed by both the finance and operations department managers. Additionally, employees are reluctant to approach HR with concerns, as any information shared is often relayed directly to the finance manager. This undermines trust and violates basic principles of confidentiality and neutrality in HR. Unfortunately, there appears to be no corrective action taken by upper management to address these issues.

    Terrible management
    The good thingsFriendly colleague and decent medical coverage
    The challengesNot given clear job scope, not given adequate onboarding, thrown into meeting with no prior knowledge and expect you follow up on everything without proper documentation and training. You will never figure out what your responsibility is until you get scolded working here.

    Academic
    Feb 2023
    3 to 4 years in the role, current employee
    Hierarchical Working Environment
    The good thingsThe curriculum is comprehensive and age-appropriate. Training is provided to new & existing teachers. The learning materials are fun and encourage children to think and discover. You will have the opportunity to climb the career ladder and so far one of the few that is professional in the early childhood industry, however, deteriorating.
    The challengesAll levels have to learn to work within a constrained budget which will lead to insufficient manpower at times. High turnover of academic staff. Not easy to achieve a work-life balance here, they don't practice giving the staff break during the school holidays (at least 1-2 weeks in a year) which is crucial to retain the manpower. Expect days that you will require to fulfill/respond to the HQ requests at short notice.

    5 to 6 years in the role
    A company that embrace changes
    The good thingsThe company, in recent years, have been pushing forward with using technology to better employee productivity as well as for the benefit of the students. The department I worked for had a great sense of camaraderie which helped when there's an urgency to get work done on insane deadlines. A lot of research and data goes to creating the curriculum which strengthens confidence to deliver it to our centres and schools.
    The challengesHigh stress levels due to multiple portfolios due to, which I believe, is a lack of manpower. Since the company embraces technology in the workplace well, it would be wonderful to have a remote working option especially when the MCO has proven we can work well without the need to come into an office five days a week.

    Teamwork
    The good thingsI can cooperate and teamwork with my colleagues. I enjoy working with children and enjoy teaching them.I can do teaching after attend some training but it's not enough. The other colleague from different branch also helping me to perform well.
    The challengesThe information is not updated on time. Don't understand staff's feeling and give the work which not related to their career. Never follow the rules and regulation as mention in offer letter. There is no staff's right to voice out when they not satisfy with the employer.Don't bother about staff's health condition and force them to come for work.

    It could have been better.
    The good thingsHelpful and cooperative colleagues.
    The challengesCompany could improve with the management especially on job description for class teachers. Working hours are from 7.45am - 6pm with only 1hour 15minutes break and class teachers are not allowed to leave the school. This way class teacher dedicates their entire day to the school but they are not allowed to leave the building at all.

    Good Colleagues
    The good thingsPeople here are generally nice and warm. They believe in practising good character. If you would like to practice public speaking, the company has an inhouse Toastmaster's Club and it is using 2 hours a month during the company's working hour in the HQ to encourage staffs to participate. It is also a terrific place to settle down and for retirement.
    The challengesIt would be good if the company can provide more technical training so our staffs can be more competitive in the market place.
