    A supportive and friendly workplace with helpful teammates and leaders, though growth opportunities can feel limited unless you're favoured.
    The good thingsWhat I liked the most about working here is the fun and friendly environment. My teammates, team leader, and managers have all been really supportive and helpful throughout my time here.
    The challengesOne of the main challenges I faced was the frequent changes in processes and workflows. It could be overwhelming at times, especially when handling multiple brands, particularly during year-end promotions when the workload becomes extremely high and non-stop. On top of that, managing all channels such as chat, email, social media, and calls at the same time added to the pressure.

    A good place to learn higher-level tasks, as you will often be assigned responsibilities beyond your position but underpaid salary. STAY AWAY FROM VALIRAM GREEDY FAMILY. Thanks!
    The good thingsGood colleagues. Salary on time.
    The challengesThe company lacks proper management support, and staff often handle excessive workloads as if there is no structured leadership. The primary focus is on sales, with little consideration for employee well-being. Many Valiram stores are understaffed, requiring lower-level employees to take on managerial responsibilities. Sales targets are set unrealistically high, seemingly to avoid paying commissions, and bonuses are often unfulfilled promises. While significant funds are spent on personal events, staff continue to face challenging working conditions. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this workplace.

    Kerja penat tiada work life balance. Gaji yang tidak setimpal dengan penat lelah buat sales.
    The good thingsThe colleagues was fun and very supportive.
    The challengesCommisions sangat sedikit even though already buat sales sampai beratus ribu. And letak monthly target yang sengaja untuk tidak beri commisions dan potong gaji if margin promotion tinggi. Management sangat terrible. Suka suka potong gaji staff sedangkan mereka yang tetapkan untuk promotion everyday

    Never recommend to anybody
    The good thingsOffday & colleagues .. the surrounding people support to you like family.
    The challengesSalary is pretty low. Cannot survive.. if you looking for job experience after form 5 this place shouldbe okay but the basic salary they offered is low .. can’t survive with that salary in 2023. Interview also they mention you have commission but that commission is below 200 … 😂 .. Give such a terrible target to achieve.. so best of luck

    Hr and management are really bad
    The good thingsGreat colleague but among colleague only. The management? NO
    The challengesleave workplace for emergency purpose, the company cut off my salary. They did not offer other solution. They don't care about your well being. The target for your store can be simply change so you won't get the commission easily

    Listened to but never heard.
    The good thingsNice uniforms, met some supportive people who became long term friends
    The challengesToxic working environment with an unnecessary amount of politics. Upper management not only doesn’t listen to the employees woes, but tells the employees to leave if they don’t like it.
