Pros
Exposure to very fast-paced operations and one man show
Cons
Work-life balance is a major concern. While the official work week is stated as 44 hours, actual workload expectations are closer to 50 hours based on task assignments, making it difficult to complete work within standard hours. Daily overtime of at least 2 hours is common, and leaving on time is generally not encouraged.
Office staff are occasionally required to support weekend cafeteria duties without additional pay. Although compensatory leave is mentioned by HR as a benefit, in practice it is rarely approved or usable, as it is often described as discretionary rather than guaranteed.
Leave applications are frequently rejected or cancelled at the last minute due to “operational needs,” making it difficult to plan rest or personal commitments. Staffing shortages further increase workload pressure.
There are also concerns about how performance and accountability are managed. Salary deductions reportedly occur due to inventory-related issues, which can be discouraging for employees who are not directly responsible. Communication from management can feel unsupportive, and there is a perception that employees—especially foreign staff—may face reputational risk if they raise concerns or leave the company.
