    Fast Pace , No Growth , Micromanaged , old system
    The good thingsGood colleagues, nice office , good pantry.
    The challengesHard to get AL approved. Old system and need to key in things using excel sheets. Even generate formula using Excel. No work life balance. High volume call as they said since last 2 years. Still couldn't recover the SLA until now. Always need to do forced OT or else they will minus your KPI.

    Petaling Jaya Selangor1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Seriously, overall was good !
    The good things1. The salary basic range should be 3k-3.5k depend on the experience but the allowance part is seriously not bad. After total up shift, language (mandarin) and transport, amount should higher than market. Haven't added the KPI yet. 2. Manager and colleague are very supportive. Most of them are kind and helpful, most important they are patient to enlighting you on how to handle the call and also the process. I would say I really enjoy the time being with them. 3. Management level actually quite humble, they willing to listen what your thought and challenge, if possible give gave their hand. What I wanna point out is their willing to LISTEN. 4. The regulated company, everything follows SOP. 5. Leave approval comes with speed!
    The challenges1. Bonus and increment a bit low due to Covid-19 I think. 2. Company should provide more workshops and online courses to enhance their soft skill but not only let us answer the call only. 3. The relationship between superior and agent is really complicated. 4. WFM (who arrange agent working shift) is not yet mature, this weeks morning another week go to night shift, really a headache. But this does not often happen, usually, this arrangement is for staff who need to attend traning. Then the training will be extended if there's a high call volume. bad. 5. KPI is more difficult and difficult to hit.

    Experience in UOB Centre of Excellence
    The good thingsThe environment and colleague are best to work with. Annual leave can be taken easily and there is quite some benefits for the employee
    The challengesHowever, there will still be some work stress and sometimes and you will not get any support that you need. Management can sometimes be confusing and frustrating as well. The pay I would say is above average for fresh grade, however below average for employee after 2-3 years.

    You get what you give
    The good thingsIt's pretty simple in this company. If you're willing to invest your time and efforts to grow with the company by adding values to your works and the organisation, you will be very well compensated. The scorecard system is very structured and systematic which prevent the chances of unjust performance ratings.
    The challengesYou will be expected to go above and beyond the ordinary level. There is very little rooms for mistakes as they are very quality oriented. Definitely not for the faint-hearted and quitters.

    Stress overload
    The good thingsSenior is willing to help.
    The challengesStress from different perspectives. Customer and team manager. TM not willing to help when customer want to speak with top management. They expect you can perform like those experienced senior and stress you up even though you are in training period. NOT RECOMMENDED IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE STRESS.

    Speechless
    The good thingsTeam Leaders & Buddies are very knowledgeable, helpful and respectful. Sometimes they are the people who helps you the most compare to your Team mangers.
    The challengesGonna settle yourself when the TM doesn’t want to help or give solutions. (Sometimes TM gave the wrong information when we’re seeking for help) Worst schedule management given. Being forced to work OT when they previously said they won’t force you during the interview.

    Pretty Stressful job but with high patience and able to learn quickly in short period of time, one can sustain here
    The good thingsYou can earn very good money by doing OT where they offer Boosters from time to time. Good medical benefits. Most of the Managers and higher senior officers are approachable.
    The challengesIf you do not manage time accordingly, you might have to stay up late at office to get your follow ups done and no pay is given for it. You will have to work really hard to pass (passing score:100%) your scorecard which is pretty demanding in order to earn quarterly bonus, any small mistakes will lead to deduction thus one must give very meticulous attention to details.

    Patience is virtue
    The good thingsCollegues, team managers and team heads will always do their best to assist you when you have an issue. There are other senior colleagues with longer experience that can always help you with your problems.
    The challengesYou really need to have patience in this line of work. The customers are extremely demanding and it doesnt help that the application department doesnt respond to your urgent messages and we are told to manage the customers without their respond. The management has turn the floor from a fun place to work to a stressful one. Quantity is prioritized over quality.

    Great career opportunities & high endurance of stress
    The good things- a good platform to widened knowledge & multitasking skills - various job opportunities (even from different departments) - flexible schedule (need to req in advance) - attentive & caring superiors / workmates - a number of activities / competition whereby you can show your talent / skills which may not necessarily be work related - relevant suggestions to improve workplace & other areas are always welcomed
    The challenges- plenty of areas to manage and work on - customers' demands can be quite overwhelming to entertain at times - other departments may not necessarily co-operate / respond in a timely manner - management may not necessarily take action against your suggestions
