Pros

Best health benefits I have ever had but they are needed to offset poor wages. ! That's the only bright spot.

Cons

Employees are overworked, 70-80 hours a week, 7 days a week. Turnover extremely high. Upper management repeatedly self promote themselves from Manger, to Sr Manager, to Director, etc. (sometimes within a year or so) while Middle and Lower Management wages are not equitable with other employers in area and the poor little hourly areas are overworked and under appreciated, poor training programs in place for management and hourly employees, have shown no improvement over the last couple years although they constantly say positive changes are coming. Have no clue how to retain talented employees and instead of promoting the most talented employees they normally promote the ones who has been their the longest and whine despite them lacking the skills needed. Company is on a dead-end road.

Employees treat as if Japanese management is a king. Force old days Japanese working style as considered it is the best style for business. Less respective for Singaporean staff. Very tardy about time or punctual though Japanese company.

Pros

Lots of nice friendly helpful co-workers. Lot's of hours of work add up to an ok paycheck. The overtime pay is what makes this job worthwhile if you are ok with working almost every day for 10+ hours a day mandatorily.

Cons

Never get a break. Supervisors are pressed to meet quotas and in turn pressure the employees to get more than may be physically possible done. Machines break down often making these goals even more unattainable. Very boring repetitive work.
