    What’s it like working at SMO Bookstores?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Syarikat Muda Osman appreciate the caring management that listens to their concerns, as well as the opportunity to give back to others through their education business. The good working environment with thorough guidance from supervisors, many benefits like medical and annual leave, and the chance to get to know senior staff and the CEO on a personal level are also positives. Additionally, employees enjoy the cooperation among colleagues and the opportunity to learn how to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as limited space for arranging products, having to face different types of customers, and certain roles requiring employees to be physically strong. During events, employees may find themselves in hectic situations, and some may need to work on weekends. A few employees have mentioned that the salary is low, and there may be instances where some workers lack cooperation with others.
