Micro-management and OT work culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

The brand name sounds good on a resume but nothing else worths it.

Cons

The management is local and controlled by one person. Micro-management style where OT is the norm and if you do not accept that, you are out. Smart people don't stay as there is no strategy behind any operational actions. Initiatives and new ideas are not encouraged and most of the managers tend to do things "because it has always been like that". Sales are king and all other functions are in support. JCD does not have any long term strategies and survive only because it has the monopole in HK. Salary is low in the industry.

No Honesty or Integrity

Pros

Freedom to make a position what you want it to be. Promote from within on occasion. Good company reputation. Somewhat good work/life balance if you have the right manager.

Cons

Pay is terrible. No training or support from management. No one cares if people are doing their jobs until revenue slips. Multiple promises unfulfilled. Terrible communication from upper management to those below. Lots of animosity between admin positions and sales positions. New hires are overworked and underpaid at nearly all levels. People straight out of college are hired over those with experience since they can be paid less, and will often replace those making more simply for salary savings. VP levels have their favorite underlings and will ignore them not doing their job and meanwhile they constantly treat those that don't suck up as if they are disposable. Office politics way out of control. Unexplained firings are a morale killer. One day someone doing good work is there, the next they are out with no explanation or even notice. Leads to people believing their jobs could be gone with a moment's notice and for no apparent reason.
