I used to work with Unisys since 2009. I leave the unisys after 2years. Now, i work with other company already. My post is Administrative Assistant and my dept were doing cheque clearing for local bank such as Maybank, RHB, Bank Islam and CIMB. And i ll share with y'all my exp.
Good thing: 1. Job is easy, dress code is casual 2. Working hours suit my lifestyle (from 1PM till 9PM) i m hard to wake up early in the morning LOL 3. Alot of people in the dept. So, u got many friend. If u can hang with em. LOL 4. Nice benefit also, such as medical, insurance, optical, dental, car park.
Not so good is, actually really NOT good: 1. Job is easy but my dept dont have break. I work from 1PM till 9PM WITHOUT any BREAK! So, u spent around 7-8hours in front of the PC, doin the key-in and reports etc. U can go to toilet but it is monitored by ur team leader. I m doin alot of data entry for cheque amount. U must key-in amount and acc number without any error. So can u imagine working with full of focus for 7-8hours straight? And to be honest, the average volume of cheq per day at that centre (Damansara) is around 300,000. They dept got around 70 permanent staff and 70-90 temp staff. Is the volume is small? Haha. Just prepare urself for hi-volume day (e.g before Hari Raya, before Xmas, before New Year)
2. Career growth not so good. No promotion. Why? because the was no any performance evaluation. No annual increament. And no bonus too. (The other employer said what when i m telling this to them during interview. "Waah, got this company meh? No bonus? then, he laughed. Same thing happen when the guy from Jobstreet interviwed me. "OMG, if I were u, i wouldnt work there) Untill now, i still wondering how i can 'tahan' at the company for 2 years plus already. Fuhh.
3. For new staff, got different salary rate. For example, System Operator hired in 2009. His salary is RM2000. But in 2010, new staff get RM2250 but the old staf still remain with their current salary which is RM2000. Again in 2011, another new staf coming in and he get RM2500, while the 2009 staff still remain with RM2000 and 2010 staff remain with RM2250. Went to HR and ask bout this. They said the salary offered was based on Market Reference Index, so they have to follow current salary rate. Sad thing for 2009 staf? how about 2006 staf? Huuuu u imagine it. Why the old staf salary didnt increase? As i informed before, no annual increament. Even the current market salary increased. Sigh, what kind of system is this. Went to Pejabat Buruh, they said can do nothing because it is consider as small company, not listed company (Unisys (M) Sdn Bhd) if listed company, the name should be Unisys (M) Berhad. If listed company, u ll enjoy good benefit services and have union where u can fight for ur right in the company if there any unfair situation to emplyee.
4. Fringe Benefit? Emm. No annual dinner, no sportclub, no company trip, and nothing. U come to work and they pay ur salary, thats all. People said, work like cow. No life.
5. Politics. No need to elaborate on this. u wanna know, u go work there 1st. U ll know. I ll let u feel it.
More? i think thats for now. I supposed to resign earlier but the was a rumor said the company will give and increament for 2011, but till Feb 2011, nothing happen. Went to HR, they said maybe management postpone it but dunno till when. Huh? Waste my time wait till 2011 but got nothing. In the middle of 2011, i got a better offer and I am glad i accepted the new offer.
Maybe different dept got diff situation, but for KL branch, this is the reality for most of their staff. No wonder staff come and go in this company for short period of time. U will always see job advertisement from Ade**o related to job in Unisys. (Ade**o usually is their official recruiter for Unsys KL branch)
Dont believe? Can go and work there 1st. I just share what i feel during my employement before. Conclusion : (For me la,) Unisys didnt suit with my career growth planning and goals. So, have to move on.
p/s: Feel free to PM me for any Q related. I live in Subang. Lets yum-cha for EX-unisys staf. Hehe
