Under Valued Staffs

Senior field service engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You do learn how to be very very independent on this job. Lots of things to figure out on your own.

Cons

Poor guidance Undervalued staffs Poor visibility of long term Management does not listen to their own team and will always have their own ideas which they would then implement despite voicing out concerns to them. Company does not value their staffs as this can be seen with the fact that experienced staffs are getting lower than fresh graduates in the same industry. They will brush off this topic easily and say that there is nothing that can be done on their end. If you are reading this, you are probably better off elsewhere and much valued there in terms of overall pay package. There are a lot of times where things are mishandled from top down.
