Cons
1. Since it is a family business, decisions are ALWAYS made top-down with no room for discussion or negotiation. Whatever or however the family wants it to be, it must be. 2. They are super secretive about everything, hence there are lots of hidden information that are actually required for your work to be done. You won't know what you don't know, and hence you'd always end up in a situation where you have to firefight and make changes at the last min. 3. There is no respect to processes and timelines that were put in place, because anything can be randomly and suddenly urgent for no specific reasons. 4. There is absolutely zero autonomy as to how you should or want to get the job done. They just want you to do it the way they want it to be, and also just do as they say so. 5. There is fake democracy and it is always like a communist society here. "No" is not accepted as an answer, and your opinions were only asked for the sake of asking. Top down decisions override any other POVs. 6. Work processes are unnecessarily redundant, and because information are highly secretive, you'll need to go through many layers of own PI work in order to find out something as simple as ABC. 7. Systems are "in place" but not in use. They are there just because other companies are using it, but these systems are making people's life miserable. 8. Benefits are miserably minimal, and the company doesn't care about the employees. During difficult times (pandemic), it's sad to realise how little they care for employees and their welfare. While we see other companies giving out appreciation/caring gifts such as vouchers, cakes, credits for shopping at Guardian/Watson etc, this company doesn't even bear to give out 1 or 2 surgical masks to protect its employees when they actually have boxes and boxes in stock.
