Pros

Learning opportunity and decent working space

Cons

Racism, dissorganisation, very terrible working culture, overworking and underpayment if you are an african staff. expatriates are payed exceptionally well and do bare minimum. Alot of dishonesty from the management, and overall not a good place to work. No promotions as well.

Pros

-I truly enjoyed marketing and explaining Powerhive’s electric bikes. I strongly believe they are the best bikes I have ever marketed—an innovative product with a great business model. -The CEO listens to junior employees, which is rare and commendable. -My Marketing Manager was an amazing leader—supportive, professional, and great to work with. -The role allowed me to meet many people, some of whom are now great friends. -Salaries and dues were paid every month without fail and always on time. -Overall, Powerhive is a great company, and I will never forget how well I was treated during the interview process. It was rigorous, but I felt respected and valued in a way no other company has ever made me feel.

Cons

-No real career progression. I was promised a six-month probation leading to full-time employment if I performed well, but that never materialized. -Job roles and duties kept changing without clear communication. -No HR department to address concerns, leaving employees without proper workplace support.Accountant is not a HR. -Despite being given a consultancy agreement, NHIF and NSSF deductions were still made—something management was aware of but didn’t rectify. -Interns can be kept in the same position for up to 1.5 years with no clear path forward. -Some managers carry an inflated sense of self-importance, which affects workplace culture
