Pros

-Above average remuneration due to the bonus payout, hourly rate for overtime is attractive -Good training ground for employees to work for other companies

Cons

-Ops are suffering heavier workload with recent policies that make it worse. Fatigue after work is getting more and more common and frequent overtime can take a toll on health. -Rewards are pathetic for Ops, even stopped giving out groceries voucher which was a norm some time back -Work life balance is not possible in operations due to the shift system. The 8 hour shift pattern makes it worse as the arrangement is such that regular weekend off occurs every four months or so. -No company transport arrangements after hours and expect employees to have their own arrangements. One options for those who don't drive or ride is a costly cab ride with 50% surcharge. Having company transport for shift staff is common among companies and I wondered why there isn't any especially more and more trainees are entering the company. -Very competitive environment, some got promoted due to their eloquence rather than the skills and having the leadership qualities. - Have to spend additional commuting time due to its location

Pros

Every day is a learning day. In my case, I learned how to build relationships, make businesses deals and negotiate. And it is really a pleasure when a company shares the same values as yours (such as people's respect and protect the environment).

Cons

You have to be very aware of office politics, engaging with the right stakeholders - otherwise, you may be left behind. You understand that to be promoted is not only a matter of achieving the targets.
