    AI summary of recent reviews

    Oriental Merchant offers a workplace environment characterised by supportive peer relationships and manageable work pressure, which contributes to a comfortable day-to-day working experience. The friendly atmosphere among colleagues helps create a positive workplace culture.

    However, employees face several workplace challenges, including below-market compensation and limited career advancement opportunities. The absence of structured training programs and formal performance review processes can make professional development challenging. Additionally, there appears to be room for improvement in creating an environment where employees feel more comfortable providing feedback and expressing their opinions.

    Executive role
    Jul 2021
    Great for fresh grads or migrants to get a first job but low salary and no growth opportunity.
    The good thingsSupportive & sympathetic colleagues at peer level.
    The challenges1. Salary is below market rate. They try to attract you with a promising growth plan but it does not come true. The management acknowledges paying employees lower salary but does nothing about it. 2. New work load gets constantly piled on, even beyond the position description on contract but without reviewing capacity or resources. 3. Absolutely no training, coaching or guidance. You are on your own. 4. You don’t get your performance reviewed or appraised unless you ask manager many times. 5. Slow opportunity for growth. Great for those who enjoy following instructions and not have your opinions heard.
