Pros
- Company will take immediate action against issues like workplace bullying or harassment -Most skills needed for the job are quite easy to pick up with some practice -Good for people who are looking for a simple career without the need to go out of their way to impress since promotions are time gated behind years of working experience and mostly guaranteed as long as you have clocked the required number of hours. -There's still a small number of people in the company that is willing to nurture newcomers if they can see your eagerness to learn.
Kontras
-Low basic pay, entire salary structure basically revolves around maxing out your overtime hours and giving up on having any life outside of work at all. - Management decides to set unreasonable targets despite lack of manpower and extremely high turnover rate causing the remaining staff to all be overworked. -When company cannot hit their targets due to lack of manpower, management decides to change shift timings, forcing everyone to work longer hours against their will, instead of fixing the manpower problem. -Extremely low increment amounts on top of already low base salary means that the wage gap between you and your peers working elsewhere will only get wider the longer you stay here. -Current company hiring model to deal with low manpower is a cycle of mass hiring trainees with no work experience and bonding them to the company for years so that they cannot leave no matter how they feel, eventually the dissatisfaction piles up and most trainees leave the moment their bonds end, taking whatever skill they learnt with them and the company is back to square one. At the same time, most of the workers with experience are old and close to retirement, and once this group of people leave there will be a lack of competent trainers to teach the never ending cycle of trainees that come and go. -Alarmingly high number of incompetent people in senior positions that barely even know what they are doing. -Management only cares about work output and nothing else. Lots of dissatisfaction on the ground level but zero effort is being put in to retain staff, resulting in competent staff taking their skills and getting jobs elsewhere, while many of those that remain are being overpaid to do basically nothing, and push their responsibilities to the juniors while putting on a show for their superiors.
