Pros

1. Employees appreciate good staff perks, including flexible lunch hours and occasional free products. 2. Exposure to a fast-paced FMCG environment aids in skill development.

Cons

1. Top management can be harsh, with tendencies toward micromanagement and a lack of clear direction (depends on department) 2. Expectations to work late and a culture that equates long hours with dedication can impact personal time. 3. New employees often feel there's insufficient guidance, leading to challenges in adapting to roles.
