Pros

The people working there aside from the management level are great! When the bosses aren’t around, that’s when you see team work, and fun! The team tries to help whenever possible and hang out for lunch whenever in the office

Cons

SOOOO MANY! 1. Who is the actual boss, the lady or the male boss? Who should I listen to? Who makes the decision? Cause both of them do not communicate and just tell the staff to do things that contradicts 2. Outcasts whoever you didn’t like! When I was first there, ohhh the treatment was great! And I thought I could stay there for long. BUT as soon as I put myself first in a situation, then I start to become the selfish one, the one that didn’t support them? Excuse me! It’s my right hor! I am not sold to the company! 3. The salary! Omg mind you! I have a degree, I have experience! And yet I am being paid less than a diploma holder: <$1800! I am paid more than that when I am a diploma holder! And I am working twice more than my pay! 4. The management makes promises here and there during the interview. But when you actual join, I think they dreaming yo! 5. Claims! Always takes so long! Can wait up to 2 weeks to a month for a claim! 6. Management doesn’t like the colleagues to get too close to one another. They are bent against that and make it a living hell for us. We colleagues it’s normal for us to have lunch together. But when it’s lunch time, wow oh wow! They tried all sorts of method by calling one us back or have a meeting with some of us just so we can’t have lunch together. 7. The bosses are in charge of other businesses aside from this company. And they expect the staff to be also working in these other roles. For example. We are doing project executive, planning events etc or looking for promoters. Suddenly just because of manpower they want us to drive a van. Be a delivery person! Are we paid more? No we are not! We are paid the same! 8. Every proposal we do, comes a quotation. Before we sent it out to the client they want to take a look. The numbers they come up with the quotation, grab it from the sky! It doesn’t even make sense. But the lady boss says “it doesn’t matter as long as we get the project”. And when we actually get the project, she would ask “why you set so low ah the cost?” HELLO! You were the one to come up with the costs leh! You ask me? 9. The bosses always says they are professional! And I always thought… professional?! Professional means being late? Professional means wearing shirt and shorts to meeting and expect staff to wear formal? Professional means being rude to the staff? Professional means smoking in the office? Yeah then I think you are professional 10. There is no training whatsoever. They don’t want the team to be friends, they are very against it. They want to be in everyone business. They use us for other side hustle they do. They pretend they are good bosses by provide food and drinks,but if that comes with them treating us like rubbish I rather pay for my food. They call you all the time even when we are on leave / sick or on weekends! Just because they work all day doesn’t mean we have to!

Pros

everyone's pretty nice, not the bosses though...

Cons

she's unabashedly rude, not to mention passive aggressive. she loves shouting at people, like ear-splitting screaming in your face, imagine it yeah. gets really uncomfortable, she'd say stuff like 'do you not know how to do this', 'have you never learnt this', 'didn't know they didn't teach you this' etc. once she felt that i wasn't working 'hard enough', then decided to give this really snarky comment, around the lines of 'if she decides to keep up with this attitude, we'll just cut her out next time'. straight up said it in front of my face and everybody else's. was in constant self-doubt for a few weeks, took a while but glad i got over it. those 5-star reviews you're seeing, i bet you it's fake, no way would anybody give a 5-star working under these type of bosses unless they're forced to. the other boss isn't quite right either, can't place a finger on it, but he gives off micromanaging vibes, going with my gut on this. since you've managed to read this far, here is one last word of advice, run.

Pros

Direct communication with the bosses. Each bosses have their own pro & ones which are complimentary to each other. Bosses treats staffs lunches.

Cons

Little guidance and instructions are not clear. You are expected to know everything and do the job top notch at the first try even though are a fresh employee. Expecting a assistant role to do a manager duties.
