    Lecturer
    Jun 2024
    Cheras Kuala Lumpur1 to 2 years in the role
    My long-term goals to grow as an educator & climb up the ladder were unfortunately short-lived.
    The good thingsFree carpark, able to make medical & professional development claims.
    The challengesWorkload was tremendously heavy & not reflective of my salary, easily at least a 3-man show over time (mainly due to low manpower). One superior was too lenient (leading to passive leadership), while another lacked empathy in employee’s wellbeing & was micromanaging. Too many work politics & the higher management was mainly focusing on profit rather than the quality of education. In terms of promotion, despite having few years of the related field experience, the position was given to another employee who’s a fresh graduate. Gradually, the motivation to serve this company declined over time & resigning was the best decision to exit the unhealthy cycle of burnout & demotivation.

    Cheras Kuala LumpurLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Fun working environment, but very aggressive sales target.
    The good things- Can take day(s) off on weekdays - Very supportive head-of-department/manager and colleagues
    The challenges- Unrealistic sales target from Board of Directors - No sales incentive - Some colleagues can be too competitive in regards to personal KPI

    Kuala Lumpur3 to 4 years in the role, current employee
    There's Pros and Cons in UCSI
    The good thingsA University which abides with the policies to ensure the quality is on top of everything, flexibility of working hours and good relationships among the staffs.
    The challengeshaving calculative colleagues and unfairness of job delegation. Always need to be standby even if you are taking Leaves and the expectation is extremely high to answer the supervisors' incoming calls.
