Pros

-Pay was okay -Opportunity to WFH -Prizes from raffle draws (only if you're lucky enough)

Cons

-Extremely long hours -Discriminates employees if they don't satisfy the upper management -Toxic environment (not sure about other departments, but the accounting department was horrible) -Too much micromanaging from the upper level causes delays in finishing the job which they hate but keep repeating the same thing over and over. -Will make you forget about your family by leaving you with tons of works every day (weekends included) -PTOs are just so-called

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
