Employees appreciate the supportive and friendly colleagues at Oriental Merchant, with a close-knit team environment. Staff members value opportunities to learn new skills and take on meaningful responsibilities, whilst the manageable work pressure creates a relatively comfortable working environment.
However, there are some potential challenges, including salary levels below market rate that can make meeting financial obligations difficult, particularly for entry-level positions. Employees have noted limited training and guidance, with staff often navigating roles independently, and career advancement opportunities that progress slowly. Additionally, workload can increase beyond original position descriptions, and communication between teams could be enhanced.
