      Pros

      For those who are looking to learn fast and career climb into management and subsequently HQ levels, it has quick progression via the Management Trainee programme.

      Cons

      I worked in the Genting Highlands (Malaysia) outlet. It's a high speed environment that only fast and adaptable people can survive in. I was the only surviving barista from my batch of employment.
