Pros
◦ Once trust is established, there are opportunities to travel and build rapport with clients. ◦ Flexible work-from-home arrangements with minimal micromanagement. ◦ Small team, with a generally positive working culture among peers.
Cons
◦ CPF contributions were not paid for extended periods. Salary delays become a pattern: new staff are paid on time initially, but over time delays start creeping in. Questions about this are often deflected. ◦ Leadership is heavily nepotistic, with little to no room for career growth. ◦ Talented staff end up leaving because they stagnate while the company struggles financially. ◦ Lack of transparency — only the top family members running the business seem aware of the true financial state, but they keep staff in the dark. ◦ Increasing reliance on ChatGPT for content creation has eroded editorial standards, undermining the magazines’ credibility.
