Fun workmates, maybe okay for fresh grads to gain some experiences, but very bad management. Please don't stay too long if it starts to affect your wellbeing :')The good things- Fun workmates (THE ONLY REASON I'M STILL HERE).
- Helpful seniors who are always willing to guide.
- Free lunch every day, which is a nice perk.
- It's a Malay Muslim company, which might be a plus for some.
- Conditional Attendance and phone allowance (RM 150)
- Congregational Prayer every day
The challengesLet me be frank here:
- a once a month working day on saturday.
- Fresh grads start with a salary of RM2k. The net pay is around RM1.9k including allowances.
- No opportunities for career development. You have to wait for maybe 5 years or until someone leaves before you can even think about moving up.
- Bonuses? As rare as a blue moon. The one time they gave it, it was under RM50.
- Salary raise? Just as rare. Not even 5% of your current pay.
- They cut your OT pay for things like "oh, the cut was for when you went to the toilet, got a drink, or walked around." now now, what if the staff OT all the time in front the computer doing work?? yeah, they assume all their staff are slacking off.
- Micro-management is rampant in the department. If we wanna walk to the pantry or to the toilet, we'll be questioned. As if our salary is RM10k, for us to be chained to our chairs and computers.
- They actively encourage OT. If we don’t do OT, they ask why no one did any last week.
- Medical claims are low (RM50 per visit, capped at RM2000 a year).
- Department leadership is terrible. They don’t know how to communicate with staff—just point fingers without listening. They don’t lead, they just act bossy. They’ll marah at staff in front of others, showing no respect whatsoever.
- No recognition for good employees.
- BUT, they’re always quick to find fault in staff.
- After probation, not promised for salary raise.
- They’re so desperate to save electricity, they make us turn off the air cond and lights during lunch. Now we all kinda suffocating while eating.
- The workload is overwhelming. There are deadlines every month that must be met, often with last-minute scripts being handed out.
- not given the opportunity to try new things. no challenges for staff to develop new skills. every day must do the same thing.
