Pros

1: Colleagues are generally nice and down to earth 2: Friendly and accommodating atmosphere 3: If you come here from other staffing agencies, it is genuinely a vast improvement in terms of culture 4: Not a hire and fire culture, time is often given to those who wants to put in efforts to improve 5: Management is fair and strive to retain employees during pandemic 6: In general you could stay here for long 7: Good work life balance

Cons

1: Management tends to be autocratic , and make decisions without involvement of ground staffs, make a couple of changes to commission structure last 12 months where consultant are told to sign agreement (that is effective2 months ago) 2: Spend tons of money on awards that are generally 'bought' for, other established agencies do not even participate as their reputation is well-known , generally money is spent on tools that recruiters may not need and tools that recruiters truly need is not thought of 3: Management does not have much trust in sales team, and have tried to contravene MOM regulations and request consultant to come back once a week despite advisory not to. 4: During the onset of the pandemic , management teams were able to stay at home while ground staffs continue to work from office until WFH is made mandatory 5: Panic and decision making based on 'profit' rather than empathy , rolled out 'rolling deficit ' commission scheme during start of pandemic without thought of consultant's morale 6: Panic decision making last year where it leads to various desk being dissolved , this leads to disorganization where there is no longer specialization 7: Lacks of communications between management and consultants 8: Low increment 9 High turn over since start of this year as of above, too many 'talented' employees left this year and no question were asked why
