Pros

High salary, good benefits and compensation

Cons

Make a few mistakes during training = Punished for Years. Can't climb up the corporate ladder because of favouritism regardless of how well you perform. Management is truly horrible, they are extremely robotic and pretend to be friendly at first. No inclusivity. Barely any diversity. Speaking poorly of your fellow colleagues to management is practiced here too. Decision making at managerial level is too slow. No HR in Malaysia, very difficult to communicate when there's no breaks in the schedule. Constant sudden coachings and micro-managing make its difficult to focus. You are not just doing customer service, you are required to sell, upsell and cross-sell products on each and every call without regard to customer's feelings. Customer service metrics are core metrics but they focus on Sales metrics more and sales are truly appreciated versus customer service metrics.

Pros

Work-Life balance is great. Benefits are solid, and the EC are truly committed to making their employees happy.

Cons

Everything moves so slow. Managers and directors are asked to think strategically and big picture, when decisions are really made on a whim and based on the short sited opinions of B60s and above. Zero consistency and everything is always rushed to meet arbitrary deadlines. More to spent building and modifying decks for each band level instead of actually doing the work.
