Pros

- Good training system, processes well-defined. - Good place to start a career.

Cons

- Under-trained managers (i.e. : new managers who were not from manufacturing experience taking up manufacturing role especially during new factory setup, HR manager who was a secretary previously, managers who blamed their subordinates for their own mistakes, etc.) - Rules which are out of this world, which does not apply to a typical manufacturing setup (i.e.: For instance, one cannot drive >15km/h within the factory compound. So how does the security proves that you drive >15km/h? There’s no concrete proof that one have violated the speeding rule. So, if the security guard don’t like you, he/she can just simply say that you are driving >15km/h. Another interesting rule is, one MUST reverse park & before reverse park, one must horn first to let people around you (if there’s any) that you are reversing. Every staff must take driving test which is conducted every 2-3years.) - Maybe the plant setup is still new, but I noticed a lot of double standards. For instance, when we travel from Penang to Norway, their daily allowance was only RM100/day (USD33/day). McDonald’s in Norway is about RM80/meal (USD25/meal). So, go figure. Conversely, when they travel from Norway to Penang, they were given RM500/day (USD160/day).
