Attending events to get branded freebies. Free food at events.
There is no work-life-balance. Work like dog with zero benefit. Putting out fire and dealing with subjective feedbacks. A lot of fake people.

Big brand name for portfolio boost
work life balance is non existent

Leading consistent luxurious and avant-garde shopper experiences.
Prioritize and champion work life balance
Public relations
The only upside is the “growth opportunities” if your goal is to collect titles quickly, this is definitely the place to be
After many years with the company, it was disappointing to feel that employees were not treated with basic respect and empathy! Most of the work culture revolved around keeping management happy, rather than valuing or supporting the team
Leasing
Recognized Brand, but at What Cost?
The management style is outdated, with slow decision-making and rigid hierarchies. The work environment often felt toxic, with limited collaboration and support
- big company - premium shopping/retail mall in Kuala Lumpur - great for fresh graduate to learn to be independent and flexible - fast paced environment
- no work life balance as you need to work even during weekend for events follow-up - office politics messed up the whole company
Exposure to a wide variety of tenants and exciting events. Opportunity to work with with professionals from different backgrounds and industries did provide some valuable learning experiences.
Toxic Culture: Toxicity permeates every aspect of the workplace. From management down to team dynamics, there is a noticeable lack of trust and support. Colleagues are pitted against each other, and there is a distinct culture of favouritism. Constructive criticism is often misconstrued as a personal attack, which makes it nearly impossible to have open and honest conversations. Old-School Practices: Pavilion appears to be stuck in the past regarding its work practices. Technology and innovation are met with scepticism, and there is a reliance on outdated processes that hinder efficiency and progress. The resistance to change makes it difficult for employees to adapt and stay competitive in their respective fields. Hierarchical Structure: The company's hierarchical structure is stifling, with decisions made at the top and little room for input from lower-level employees. This top-down approach stifles creativity and innovation, as fresh ideas are often dismissed or ignored. The lack of empowerment leaves employees feeling undervalued and demotivated. Work-Life Balance: One of the most glaring issues at Pavilion is its complete disregard for work-life balance. The company seems to believe that employees should be available 24/7, and the expectation to be constantly connected to work is nothing short of exhausting. This lack of balance has a detrimental impact on employees' well-being.
Operation executive
My overall experience has been decent. The company offers a welcoming and collaborative work environment. My team is generally friendly and supportive, creating a positive atmosphere that makes coming to work more enjoyable.
One of the challenges I've faced during my tenure is the increasing workload due to staff attrition. Several colleagues have left, and their responsibilities have been shifted to me. While I understand the necessity of maintaining operations, it has been overwhelming to handle tasks that fall outside of my original job scope. Despite my willingness to contribute to the team's success, I believe there should be a fair balance between additional responsibilities and appropriate compensation. My greatest disappointment arises from the fact that I've been performing tasks beyond my job description without receiving proper recognition or compensation for my efforts.
Administrative assistant
Good and best company and environment
Don't have Work life balance

Geschäftsführer / verwaltungsratsmitglied
-Good exposure to many different fields as every department work closely with each other -Fast paced environment trains you to be independent and flexible -Lots of fun when everyone joins in to help with big events -Friendly colleagues
-Skewed work/life balance -Autocratic leadership -Office politics
Senior supervisor
Overtime no limit and approval
I’m one of the retrenchment staff
It has a perceived good name.
Low employee benefits. Almost total disregard to employee welfare. Non ethical working environment. Backwards approach to business management. Bad working efficiency. Many roadblocks, with non constructive feedback. Little room for growth.
Executive
Strong branding and company profile
High turn over rate due to poor leadership of management. Office politics, toxic and over pressure from director level. They expected you to on your laptop during your off day/holiday to rush a last minute request job for them. You will be questioned if you go home on time.
Opportunity to learn / explore new things
Bos is toxic and will push you to deliver more. No support even when informed that we need more staff. If there is one good worker who is productive / creative, this worker will be loaded with more work. No guidance, if do wrong, will be reprimanded sharply. Pay is below market rate.
Senior graphic designer
Friendly colleague to share workload. Supportive reporting manager who will help in looking for graphic reference to rush work. Good for people who wanted a corporate job.
Retail or mall industry are decoration and operation lead, not much of the functional design(in my opinion) to achieve here. In terms of the flow of work, when we got a campaign or event, we are tasked to come up with design, but without a brief or a direction; When asked for more clarification, we are to be said we are slow in understanding. When we finished the draft and sent for feedback, we will be in the wait for a period of time, and when the feedback is given, usually they will need the change in a rush, this is an indication of poor time management. Management has a always-wanted-win attitude and would just brushed the the previous comment or feedback, the level of articulation is low, hard to gauge what management wants time and efforts are often wasted
Friendly people, good payout and benefits
Over work, no work life balance
Security officer
Great workplace to work and chill
Easily boring and sticthly SOP need to follow
Solutions architect
Relax, Slow, No stress and good location
Bad management, boring, nothing new and broken promises
Credit control
High Salary and Good Location
Where do I start, first of all, my boss agreed to take me in as a fresh grad.. even though the job description says 2years experience. She know how I zero experience I am yet she still expect me can learn everything in 14days. No guidance after that. She really downgrade you once she think you very slow and want you to resign. I still dont understand why she accept me in the first place.. if she want fast worker then just take 2years experience worker la. so dumb. JUST DONT COME. maybe other departments are okay. I think.
Executive-credit control
Company trip and benefits are fine
Did not enjoyed typical Chinese corporate world as most of the employees are less friendly as if other employees did not exist in their world. Honestly I am against the practices from Pavilion as they are not complying with 17 SDG which they should utilise it considering we are in digital era rather than sticking with typical old school working environment without any innovation. I don`t see any progress from the company to innovate something new to replace old school methods. For those who came from global company, I advise you to stay away from Pavilion or typical Malaysian/Chinese corporate world.

Good salary, opportunity for advancement
No work-life balance, no teamwork
OK good people and management
Very stressful and busy life
6 stars rated shopping mall. Dynamic environment.
High activities, great demand on job performance. A lot of activities will have to follow up personally.
Opportunity to gain more experiences
-Very TOXIC company -No work life balance (Took AL but still need to join meeting) -Lack of leadership
- Opportunity to learn in-depth about how Retail shopping malls work - Good platform for freshies
- Very political - HR boss is very BIASED and not efficient - HR girls are followers and not doers - Policies not clear - Management thinks non-management staffs' issues are NOTHING - Unfair treatment given by HR based on the relationship you have with them - Promotions and bonuses are given based on how much your boss likes you and not actually on your performance - Career Opportunities are judged based on how likable you are in the office In conclusion, win over the heart of HR and your boss, you'll go high up in this company.
Luxury and iconic shopping destination with best options to retails brands and lots of F&B spots with good goods , wonderful location to everywhere in CDB
Coordination, service quality . Traffics problems / taxi issues and some F&B are too expensive
- Good Working Environment nearby public transport - Employer provide parking season pass and meal voucher - Friendly colleague
- Industry affected by C19 pandemic
- Good exposure to different aspects of work. - Good work-life balance. - Good benefits.
- Office politics are very strong and toxic. - Some colleagues will sabotage your work just for personal gain. - HR girls are not helpful and sometimes very inefficient in carrying out their duties.
You learn quite a lot of things, have experiences to open tender with new vendors. have experiences to deal with backstabbing non-helpful colleagues who like to say "I ALREADY TEACH YOU!!!! YOU STILL DONT KNOW?!" when you are asking to reconfirm and double check your work which they like to SCREAM down your ear like youre 90% deaf
you have so many reporting heads, all of them like to scream and shout at you. they have dinosaur mindset. you have to travel frequently between their malls and when u want to claim, they always try to limit it. the worst part is just they have no leniency at all, small little mistake which is a human error will get your ears bleeding and falling off at the end of the day. when you take MC for genuine illness (that came from working there) you will get silent treatment for being sick
