    Administration Role
    Dec 2025
    Penang Island Penang1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    You'll learn a lot but also expected to give more.
    The good thingsThe campus principal provides guidance and is approachable, friendly community and overall, a highly recommended place for one to work if you're looking to explore and learn.
    The challengesThere are still some disparities in compensations between expats and local staff, and it's obvious. Some workplace drama is expected. You'll be expected to work more than what you've signed up for so only apply and accept if you're willing to go above and beyond. Lastly, increment rate seems fixed for most staff and there's no clarity or transparency if work performance or review will affect it. There is also no annual bonus.
