Pros

The salary I earned & benefits I received was amazing: stock options, hotel discounts, work travel, etc. The parties and raffles they would throw are the best because of the prizes would include latest models of Samsung TVs, Nintendo gaming counsels, Dyson fans, and much more. The training team is what I enjoy the most from the company because they take their time to break down how to resolve issues by using LEAN and KAIZEN.

Cons

During the time I worked there from 2019 to 2020, management for the Customer Service team became aggressive, expecting their employees to do more outside their own realm of duties, so that their department would outshine others, which created a hostile work environment. Human Resource did not have my back when it came to management going against the Core Values that was set by the company themselves. HR invalidated my concerns and made it out that I was the issue and not my management team. I also became depress when I was told that I would be training a Team located in India that will replace me due to budget cuts.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
