      Pros

      This is a great place for fresh graduates to start with because of the good money and lots of training after working hours and on weekends to build-up your product knowledge and skills.

      Cons

      A very micro-managed company that trace your every move, you need to do a detailed recording after every sales visit or sales call. It is sad to say that they do not trust their employees, the way they managed their employees is like managing their kids. You have to follow every instruction given top-down, no room for negotiation or suggestion, "don't ask and just do it" culture. A place that give you money but no time for you to spend. Totally no work-life balance in this company, should only join them if you do not have any family members and friends because the management will make sure you do not have time for them. If you leave 30mins AFTER your official working hours, your boss will start to penalize you on that. They will exploit you till you burn out and give up. Once they feel that your performance is no longer what they expecting, they will try all ways to make you leave on your own. They adopt a "anti-vacation" policy as well. They do not encourage employees to take year-end vacation, the total number of consecutive vacation days they allow will be 9days INCLUDING Sat, Sun and Public Holiday. Thus, you can forget about having any vacation that is longer than that.
