    Sales Support Role
    Dec 2024
    Ara Damansara Selangor
    Terrible, horrible, toxic, exploitative, chaotic and hostile workplace. Think twice before you decide to work here.
    The good thingsIf you’re working in warehouse outside of the HQ, it is still acceptable. However, working for this company is a waste of time.
    The challenges- The organization operates with a dictatorial management style. - Key management exhibits a lack of empathy toward employees. - Employees face unfair treatment in the workplace - Arbitrary employment movements occur without clear justification. - There is a lack of recognition for employees' contributions. - Work-life balance is not respected. - There is a lack of communication of expectations to employees.

    Banting Selangor1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Great place to gain many experience in chlor alkali industry, but have minimal benefits, apart from the basic EPF, socso, AL, and unsuitable insurance package, especially for those working in extremely dangerous site
    The good thingsTMK Chemical Banting (specifically) is filled with young energies, making the momentum towards excellence, very high. The factory manager is also very supportive and helpful in many ways
    The challenges- limited work-life balance, as the factory just started up in 2023. - interference of company owners in daily routine and their inconsistent verdicts on tackling some issues

    Intern
    Sep 2020
    Less than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Worthwhile Internship
    The good thingsAs an intern, I was able to go through and help out departments other than the one I applied for. There is definitely a learning curve to familiarise yourself with the company's products and clients, but Taiko provides great training for new hires and my supervisors/colleagues were more than happy to provide guidance when needed. Overall, this company has a good working environment and lots of opportunities for the people to grow vertically and horizontally. Also, free lunch occasionally and lots of corporate events (i.e. Christmas party).
    The challengesAs mentioned, there is a steep learning curve to familiarise yourself with the company's operation, but the manager responsible for the training program is very helpful and is always happy to provide guidance when needed!
