Pros

After finishing the tasks assigned to the branch, I had plenty of free time left.

Cons

1. Training expectations and metrics are unclear; it’s not clear what the training objectives are. 2. The entire system leaves no room for error and does not tolerate mistakes. A single small mistake can cause them to dismiss your entire effort. 3. Lack of diversity

Pros

During probation you can apply for paid leave or sick leave

Cons

Immature Management, when you resigned the management will just ignore your existences during your one week notice period, High workload some of the colleagues are comfortable to work with but not all some will show attitude to new hires, very high turnover over rate no awe no bonus no yearly increment only so called profit sharing, expect you to work by pushing most of the accounts to the new hires where those newly promoted will just draw line, management wise not supportive many of the new hires will just quit within a short period of time.
