Bonia Corporation Berhad Employee Reviews & Ratings

- poor marketing management - no rewards and appreciation - racist top management - no increment after years - work overload

messy internal policitcs within every department

midnight calls, unnecessary work demands

-toxic environment. -huge ego but inexperience, unknowledgeable in everything. -did not learn a single thing from director of department; was not present at office often. -only reward people who says "YES". -do not have a clear direction on where the brand should be. -enjoy gaslighting people.

Unable to focus on single goal. Goal are fluid. Need to be very flexible to adapt to regular changes and last minute. Below average benefits compared to other larger firms.

sexual harassment, low paid, work like a cow, overall horrible experience

The overall culture is slightly slow-paced, both in terms of workflow and technological adoption. But there are clear signs that the company as a whole has been steadily improving on these fronts. Another minor con is that the parking expenses should be fully reimbursed too.

No benefit, the only one who gets the benefit is the Director. Watch your words carefully, because some people are fake

- dealing with customers' different wants and needs - quite boring after a while

- Some Department Heads need to improve. All talk, boastful and does not want to listen, or have difficulty making decisions. But most of them are helpful and experienced. - Need more communication between Management and us. - Benefits need to be better

low salary, ironic 3 times split-bonus, old-school HR mgmt, very traditional classroom setting, limited creativity because the top management has traditional and conservative mentality.

- company still stuck in traditional methodologies - average staff benefits & perks - slow career growth

Improve staff benefits and welfare. Limited career progression in company.

- Toxic and demoralizing workplace - Unspoken expectations / Lack of open communication - Tone-deaf management and HR - Processes are always changing with little communication - Constant change of direction with little communication - Inconsistent vision/mission from management - Copy cat ideas with 'copy and paste' mentality - Leadership turns blind eye to employees they don't personally like - Leadership derails the efforts of their teams

Traditional mindset No transparency Stingy No leadership Not following proper SOP

- Less benefit/ incentive - Training (Product Knowledge) in the fashion industry should be attended by all staff from all departments.

Benefit below the manager level can be further strengthened

There's no downsides of working at Bonia.

There are still improvements needed on different areas, but I guess it takes time for a company with that many years of history.

- Lack of transparency from top to bottom - no employee engagement, which leads to low morale within the team. - Most often have to embrace “cannot challenge the top management’s decision” - which leads to lack of open communication and empowerment. - Disorganized working structure. - No on-the-job training or learning & development provided. - Non-flexible working hours. - Overall very dull working environment.

Immature colleague and girls attitude

Management didnt appreciate the team effort.

Lack of clarity on overarching direction.

Racist ecommerce s. Manager Weak skills, talk loud action people missing HR drt sleeping in company with high pay

Online team act as family but will backstab you!!! Promises growth buy put you aside to do factory worker task!!! Not keeping up with times!!!

Regular turnover which is a norm of the industry

Upper management is not firm with the company’s design direction, hence leading to lots of changes during the process and in the end blames the employers for not working hard enough

- typical Chinese company culture

Management needs improvement - to appreciate employees more

strong new staff who perform treated like dirt only promote people who stay long, but working like kindergardan student HR come out new KPI form, only show them doing work, still promote people they like only throw money hire korean unnie, 2024 bonus sad, salary up abit

traditional value and mindset of "BOSS must be right", hierarchy management

Systems are outdated and backdated. They are not diverse

So far no cons for me to comment

Meeting targets may be challenging

1. The current mindset is quite traditional and may not be an ideal fit for younger, dynamic employees. 2. The work must consistently match the creative director’s preferences, which can be hard for younger staff to interpret. Frequent changes in direction complicate the creative workflow. Even after approval, decisions may be reversed overnight, and ideas that were previously rejected can resurface weeks later as new suggestions from the director

everything that is involved in the company

Extremely high turnover rate. Traumatising environment. Emotional higher management. Creative teams disconnected from the "old school" operational teams. Ideas and plans don't move forward because too many decision makers. No focused vision. Too "cina". Intimidating bosses.

1. Lack of Transparency and Communication Employees have reported a significant lack of transparency from top to bottom. This includes limited employee engagement, low morale within teams, and a general absence of open communication. Many employees feel that challenging top management's decisions is discouraged, leading to a disorganized working structure and a dull work environment. 2. Traditional and Bureaucratic Management Style Bonia's management has been described as old-school and conservative, with a preference for traditional classroom-style training. This approach limits creativity and innovation, as the top management's traditional and conservative mentality restricts employees' ability to express new ideas. 3. High Employee Turnover and Lack of Career Advancement The company has experienced a high turnover rate, with many employees describing the environment as traumatic. There is a reported lack of career advancement opportunities, with some employees feeling that promotions are based on favoritism rather than merit. Additionally, employees have noted that new staff who perform well are often treated poorly, while long-serving employees are promoted regardless of performance. 4. Inconsistent Vision and Direction Employees have noted that Bonia's leadership often changes direction without clear communication, leading to confusion and a lack of focus. This inconsistency in vision and mission from management results in a "copycat" mentality and a lack of original ideas, which can be demoralizing for staff. 5. Limited Benefits and Outdated Systems Bonia offers basic benefits, but many employees feel that these are below expectations. Additionally, the company's systems are described as outdated and backdated, which can hinder productivity and create inefficiencies. Employees have also reported that HR is often powerless due to the company's legacy business practices.

Salary is average but the workload is heavy

- All about face, politics and positions. - Job more then wages, don't have chance to show the strengths. - Head not listening feedbacks.

Messy politic caused lots of unhappiness and conflicts

Workload can spike during certain periods

Too complex in organization chart to execute major decision

High Workload During Peak Times: Like any other dynamic company, there are periods when the workload can be intense, particularly during project deadlines.

* A good leader matters

can come out with variety modern design

- legacy mindset - Management always disrupts to save face, very indecisive, not available always - most management not experienced in the field and lack leadership - blame game quite strong from top

Boss too hard to handle

*The company needs to enhance its technology, Embrace digital transformation, and implement automation for smoother processes.

I suggest to provide more benefits and welfares to frontliners especially leaves, allowances and incentives to motivate them to achieve sales targets given. Besides, I hope the company can provide Birthday Leave & etc. to all staff as part of staff welfare and benefits.
