Pros & Cons
My colleagues are not just teammates but also friends, and the camaraderie we share makes even the toughest days enjoyable.
The work environment is characterized by supportive and accommodating colleagues, shuttle service and meal allowances are provided, and the leadership is considerate.
The environment is built on the core value of 'malasakit,' which means caring or solicitude for others.
The company provides a lot of programs for newly hired and tenure employees including orientations, career development seminars, and more.
The company offers daily free-of-charge bread to its employees, as well as free shuttle services and meal allowance.
The most challenging aspect is the heavy workload, which affects my productivity due to the lack of manpower and inadequate distribution of tasks among workers.
Maintaining a strong work-life balance can be difficult during busy periods where work demands more attention.
While the hours are fair, having a bit more flexibility could help with managing personal commitments and work tasks better.
Advancement is generally based on a combination of performance, tenure, and demonstrated skills, but the long time frame to transition from probationary to regular status can be a challenge.
The salary at my company is not very competitive, particularly given that I am effectively performing the duties of two employees while maintaining the same rate of pay.
