Pros

Good Compensation and Benefits Package: SGBS Manila offers a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package. This includes healthcare, allowances, and other perks that are appealing to potential employees.

Cons

Poor Management in the US Accounting Department: The US team in the accounting department suffers from poor management. The seniors and managers expects high-quality output without providing sufficient training, and when errors occur due to this lack of support, blame is quickly placed on the employees. Lack of Work-Life Balance: The work-life balance is severely lacking, particularly when working with the US team. One of the seniors often required me to work 3 to 4 hours overtime to complete reports, frequently while being on a call with her. This expectation makes it difficult to maintain any personal time outside of work. Power Tripping: There is a notable issue with power tripping within the team. Certain senior staff members often misuse their authority, making the work environment even more challenging and toxic.

Pros

somewhat decent hourly pay for people in lower leadership and not close enough to be decent but manageble hourly pay for associates. Overtime if you like that

Cons

- never see you families/partners again - company over camaraderie -mental and physical health are not prioritised and not important over the customer/client contract -Management treats you like a number instead of a human being - not allowed to speak out against inhumane conditions or mistreatment - corporate HR has been compromised and doesnt care about your well being - Exempt employees (salary paid) are REQUIRED to work overtime without any compensation. (working 30+ hours outside of regular 40 hours) -Administrative office personnel and in-house HR (P&O) treat warehouse employees like lower class uneducated subhumans or worse than dirt. - Consequences if you report Administrative personnel, management, or leadership for sexual harassment or assault
