    OK for short-term career growth
    The good thingsFlexi / WFH, and good staff benefits and good and prompt support from HR & Admin, IT and Credit Control.
    The challengesMany senior leaders have left within in 2 years and replaced by new ones. Unfortunately, many lacked leadership and do not know how to guide staff other than lacking in knowledge and experience. Difficult for staff to execute plans if leaders themselves do not know, and do not share information. Agency admin is the worst.

    Terrible superior
    The good thingsColleagues and surroundings
    The challengesMy department emphasizes "Teamwork" and to work together as a team but the superiors are not practicing it. They throw works to the down lines and what they do is monitoring the staffs and looking for faulties. No direct communication between staff and superior, demotivating staffs.
