Good company good boss good system
Too much events but still not a big deal
Brand officer
Training provided every Monday to Saturday
They said working from Monday to Saturday but in fact everyday. You need to keep promoting their class to get commission there is no salary for this job. Your income based on how many student you can get to attend the class. If you don't get any students then you will be wasting your time because there will be no income.
Will be great exposure of teamwork and digital world knowledge
No basic salary monthly of the year
They don’t provide OT payment but wanted staff to do OT
No future here,only housewife can work here
Brand leader
Rules don’t apply equally — if the HOD likes you, you can get away with anything. If not, every small mistake becomes a big issue. Promotions are not based on performance, only on how well you can praise and please your superior. Hard work means nothing here unless you know how to play their game. 😉 They keep increasing the sales target again and again so that no one can actually hit it. That way, they can avoid paying bonuses. When you ask about incentives, they’ll give excuses or empty promises. The structure here is a joke. There’s no proper guideline, no clear SOP, and no real leadership. The so-called “Chief Leader” doesn’t do much but still earns commission from our sales like an MLM system. It’s demotivating and unfair to everyone else.
Salary is not transparent. Some newcomers earn higher than seniors who have been here for years. No matter how loyal or hardworking you are, you’ll still feel underappreciated. The working culture is full of gossip, pressure, and fake smiles. HODs have no respect toward staff — they talk down to you like you’re a child. Many employees end up feeling anxious, burnt out, and mentally exhausted. Honestly, this place drains your energy, confidence, and happiness. There’s no real career growth, no mental peace, and no genuine appreciation.
Marketing
I would say the pros that I get while working here is that they teach and guide you about marketing if you're new to it I bet you have a lot to learn from it
If you lack prior experience in marketing or sales, this role might be challenging initially. However, it provides an excellent opportunity to develop valuable skills and gain firsthand experience. It requires resilience, the ability to persuade and engage potential clients effectively, and a willingness to embrace a fast-paced, demanding environment. While the position may not offer flexible hours or standard days off—typically one full day off and an additional half day of work—it is an excellent choice for those seeking to build mental fortitude and grow professionally.
Education facilitator
Training good but thats about it.
- The work policy is highly inflexible and intrusive. We were required to sit for 8 continuous hours with only a fixed one-hour break, which severely restricted basic necessities like eating. Staff must even ask the Head of Department (HOD) for permission to pray, which is unacceptable and unnecessary oversight - My experience with HR was confusing and unprofessional. I was initially given conflicting information about the role (part-time vs. full-time) and the department failed to issue a formal employment contract or offer letter. This lack of official documentation creates massive job insecurity and confusion regarding basic terms of service. Kalau tak ada benda mutlak, rasanya kebajikan kita dijaga ke? Benda basic pun susah nak bagi so jangan harap la dapat work life balance. Work from home indah khabar dari rupa.

Working with Kunkwan for a decade has been a rewarding experience. The company has a strong mission and provides a supportive platform to grow in both skill and character. There are challenges, as in any high-performing environment, but the culture encourages you to rise, adapt, and keep moving forward. I’m proud to be part of this meaningful journey.

Chief operating officer
I initially started working at Kunkwan as a part-timer and gradually advanced to a management position. The company offers excellent career advancement opportunities, allowing dedicated individuals to grow within the organization. Kunkwan is also a fantastic place for continuous learning, providing numerous opportunities to develop new skills and knowledge. It’s not just a job—it’s a place where you can truly work on becoming the best version of yourself. The support from the team and the focus on personal and professional growth make it an ideal environment for anyone looking to advance their career.
Not much and it very depends on how we think
Have a lots of benefits, can improve in terms of communication skills and all. Good for any housewives who doesn't have anything to do to work here. Remote working with a benefit that you can learn mandarin too.
No work life balance, you will be getting confused the work life and your private life. High pressure + in your probation you salary is sales only. Best believe that your time in that is very consumption, prepared for mentality since they kinda almost encourage toxic positive. The toxic positive is huge that can eat you later so takes a lot of thinking to work here.
Hr- recruiter
-Boss very generous to support mandarin class for free. -Fun teammate -Everyday learn new words for mandarin challenge -Have career advancement -Have reward if achieve target
Have few cons but for me manageable/can be tolerate
Senior hr&admin executive
Kunkwan provides excellent opportunities for personal and professional growth. I’ve been able to progress from an assistant level to a senior position while gaining strong HR, admin, and payroll skills. The team is supportive, always willing to share knowledge, and the culture encourages gratitude, teamwork, and respect.
Work can be fast-paced at times, especially during event periods, but it offers great learning experiences and helps strengthen time management and adaptability skills.
Hr administrator
Got to know many new connections from outside Indonesia, the whole team is helpful. The salary is better, and the work environment is fun and enjoyable. There are career advancement opportunities and quick promotions for good performance. Rewards or bonuses are also given for excellent work.
The workload is quite heavy almost every day, There are also many meetings almost every day.
they offer work from home position with commision and allowances
if you still in contract, you will only got paid by commision and theres no basic salary
Brand ambassador
-learn about marketing -under mentorship and guidance
-purely comission based -kpi -not for everyone
Education consultant
Good pay check. Even thought the basic is quite low, but they paid high commission. They provide free Mandarin course as well. Training and etc. Helpful superiors.
Some times you have to work long hours.
Assistant brand leader
Training provided, good team support. Can plan salary because high sales, high income
Commission based, unstable income every month need to hit certain KPI. 2 months hit target then can be permanent but need to maintain sales performance
Provide comprehensive training WFH and high salary compared to my previous job, I am very satisfied and happy with this job
Sometimes have to spend extra time to strive for better results
0 Cons - Best toxic place! If you’re looking for a masterclass in favoritism, micromanagement, and gaslighting, congratulations — you’ve found the right place. This company is basically a playground for boomers who think manipulation is leadership. Promotions? Forget about hard work — only the lickers and pets of management get to climb up. HR? Don’t expect them to protect your rights. Their only job is to kiss management’s $$$ and leak your personal info straight to their favorite toxic coworkers. Privacy doesn’t exist here. 99.9% of the so-called “leaders” are nothing but fake, manipulative puppets trained to squeeze every ounce of life out of you. Salary? Lower than the underground. Work-life balance? Non-existent. They’ll invade your personal life and drain you until you’ve got nothing left. This isn’t just a bad workplace, it’s a full-blown nightmare factory. Enter at your own risk — once you’re in, you’ll realize survival means either becoming a bootlicker or getting crushed.
Wow, where do I even begin? This company is truly one of a kind. You’ll never find a place so dedicated to favoritism, micromanagement, and gaslighting — it’s practically an art form here. Career Growth? Only if you master the noble art of licking. Hard work and talent are so overrated anyway. Leadership? Absolute legends. 99.9% of them are experts at faking it, and they’ve all been specially trained to manipulate you into thinking it’s your fault. Inspiring stuff! HR? The best in the business. They don’t waste time protecting staff — instead, they focus on what really matters: kissing $$$ and spreading your personal info to their favorite toxic coworkers. Such efficiency! Work-life balance? Who needs a personal life when you can dedicate your soul to a company that squeezes you dry? Truly the dream. Salary? So generous… if you compare it to underground labor wages. Honestly, this place is a nightmare dressed up as a job, but hey — if you’ve ever wanted to experience psychological warfare while being underpaid, look no further. Zero cons. 10/10 toxic. Would not recommend (unless you’re into suffering).
Sales representative
Lots of training provided for every department and rewards for achieve goals
Work life balance and respect others opinion
New brand officer
- work from home option - Monday to Friday 9 am to 6 pm, Saturday 9 am to 1 pm - energetic team members, willing to teach everyone - Everyone participates in the work - able to create own income since the salary is based on sales achieved every month - based on commission, if do sales, you will get the salary
- It is hard to get RM600 commission as they have a system that we need to achieve in order to get at least RM600 for 1 month - no basic salary, however, if manage to achieve the target, will be able to get a basic 1.5k - salary not worth with job time, work full time but only get RM600 if lucky - cheap marketing, need to prepare mentally if get harassed on social media
• Friendly • Learn mandarin • Learn how to gaslight & scam people
• Toxic team leaders • They teach you how to scam people by using your own social media accounts • They brag about how many sales you close for a day • No work-lif balance • Micromanage you without you realizing it • Work monday till friday but it seems like Monday till Sunday • Everyday got meeting from 10am - 6pm • Every friday dancing and learning mandarin words AND ikrar (for iphone 17) • Mental health destroyed
Work from home, save money but not time. Positive environment.
Positive is all good until it becomes “toxic positivity and manipulative”. When I first interviewed by the team leader, it is stated that I will have a basic salary. But the person did not explain it thoroughly. I asked many times if I will be getting the basic and the person said yes. Too many hidden words and manipulative. It is stated the work is flexible but apprently you will need to be on Zoom for 8 hours from Monday to Saturday(half - day). Even after working hours they will ask you to do marketing and will guilt trip you if you dont do it. Its a modern day cheap labour! Regulations are often changed but no black and white/ notice via email. Use it through mouth and slides that belongs to the upper management.
Sales & marketing
The kind of experience you wouldn’t wish to anyone!
- HOD management is a joke, arrogant! - super micromanagement - favoritism, promoted for the chosen ones only - gossips, backstabbing and manipulation culture
The jobscope ain't that hard, all u have to do is promote the company thru social media and help potential students into joining mandarin classes. The lack of basic salary is understandable, as I've had experience working in similar fields for years even before joining this company. And they legitimately teach mandarin so this place isn't a scam. But these pros also apply if ur a self-employed tbh, not rly have to do with the company itself. I do think it's much easier to work here as a part-timer aka BA, less stress and expectations, and u don't have to directly deal with the management. Don't even need to join zoom meetings so ig there's credit where it's due. It's the true flexible work as promised by the company itself. I am staying mainly bcs I do geniunely enjoy the job, whenever someone thanked me for helping them to learn mandarin, it never failed to send butterflies in me. Not to mention it's rly easy to do alongside my main job. TLDR; I would recommend this job if: - ur looking for an easy side income simply via ur phone - u love helping others to learn mandarin - u wanna try delving into social media content creation and building ur personal branding from scratch - u don't mind not meeting fast and sustainable earnings at first Definitely not the best company I've worked in, though.
My actual qualms with the company lies on the management: lack of transparency and professionalism, setting very high monthly target and expectations even on the NBOs who don't have basic salary, can come up with new rules outta nowhere and immediately impose it without warning. There's no official documentation abt the rules so it's very sketchy at its finest. Not to mention, the general lack of respect toward the employees by the higher-ups (they'll think ur "lazy" if u don't meet their expectations), they even encourage the employees to compete with each other as if we're partaking in a constant race. They will shower those who managed to achieve high sales or attends with praises, even treating them like celebrities by bringing them to attention during every zoom meeting... which many other companies don't even do. Sometimes I'm wondering if it's gonna worth the extranuous time and effort for very little rewards, and I heard the flat rate for the PBOs' salaries isn't that great either. Also LOL to the 5 star reviews by mostly the higher ups xD "Advice to future applicants"... rly bruh? I thought this site is for evaluating companies, not employees? LMAO. And the condescending manner in each of their review is sending me
Education officer
Work from home is the only benefit, internet allowance also don’t have, laptop also you have to bring by yourself at that time where we have to work in office
No basic salary only depends on commission, boss always try hard to make himself popular by forcing staff to engage on his instagram account and google reviews. All the reviews on google is a fake review from their staff
Chief leader
I’ve been working here for over 11 years, growing from a tutor to a management position. Honestly, this company has changed my life, not because it’s perfect, but because it gives those who are serious about learning, growing, and performing the chance to shine. Like any company, expectations are high, and performance is monitored closely. Those who are disciplined and proactive tend to stay for many years (just like many of us still here). However, those who struggled with discipline or performance may have found it challenging and that’s understandable, but it doesn’t mean the company is toxic. Here, effort is recognized, ideas are welcomed, and loyalty is appreciated. I’ve seen many colleagues build stable income, work-from-home flexibility, and strong friendships through this platform. Pros: • Supportive and growth-oriented environment for committed people • Clear career progression (many started from zero and grew into leadership roles) • Work-from-home opportunities with good systems and training • A management team that genuinely cares about long-term success
• Fast-paced, not suitable for those who lack self-discipline or motivation • High expectations, performance and accountability are important here
Assistant manager
When I first joined the company, what stood out the most was how structured everything was. From data to SOP, there is always a clear direction to follow. For me, this became a strong learning environment, because I was never left alone to figure things out...leaders and colleagues are always willing to share their experience. The company also encourages continuous learning and trying new things, which helped me build new skills and confidence. On top of that, the wfh flexibility made a big difference for me personally, allowed me to take better care of my family while still focusing on my career.
Because it’s a large organization, there are established processes and SOP that you need to follow. For people who don like structure or not open to learning, it may feel challenging at first. Personally, I see these SOP as a positive thing ....without clear systems, it would be hard for the company to improve and grow. New joiners just need to be mentally prepared that there’s a lot to learn, but in the long run, is worth it.
Sales
idk what to say la
if u dont meet ur targets, they will expect you to work from morning till night without any overtime pay. It's fully wfh, but it doesn't feel worth it no rest at all and they will treat u bad if u dont achieve target
Finance officer
All our superiors and super friendly and motivating to reach our target.
I think there is not much cons here.
-creating and executing marketing campaigns through media social -developing and implementing brand strategies to promote the mandarin language center course, program and service target. -Management awarded rewards on a weekly basis The team is highly cooperative and willing to provide guidance and support, especially if someone is not familiar with marketing techniques the salary quite high flexible working hour
Compiling daily reports and reaching out to customers through telephone communication
the salary can be extremely good, if youre living just for work
basically, no off day from work. off day also have to attend meeting - which actually really unnecessary meeting. toxic positivity too.
- Daily, weekly and monthly rewards - Direct support - OTJ Training
- Very competitive - Fast paced
Brand mentor
The mentoring and coaching system has strong potential. It encourages mentors to experiment, research, and apply practical marketing strategies directly with Brand Officers. This helps employees understand sales patterns and develop their own approaches.
Mentor quality is inconsistent, and management provides limited space for genuine creativity. Rigid systems are imposed, some appearing to rely on generic, unadapted frameworks. Management is also not very open to discussion or feedback, often promoting a single method based on past success in another market, which may not align well with the local context.
Work from home, and Good Enviroment (meet with many people and talk with GM about the strategy and etc) it is good enviroment to grow, happy to meet them
Need to improve many things again, hope managerial team also can collaborate to build structure more better than before
Nice company to work with
Toxic environment and culture sometimes

Semua agak sebaya umur - lepasan kolej /uni
no work/life balance. takde OT tapi klau datang lambat seminit kena potong gaji. 2 shift kerja kadang2 kena kerja whole day dari pagi sampai malam, dah balik rumah pun kena buat kerja sampai tgh pagi buta. lagi satu takleh ckp dgn department lain, kalau cakap / jumpa walaupun kat luar tempat kerja boleh sampai kena warning letter.
Supportive Management: The founder and all heads of departments are very understanding and always willing to assist the team to improve and stay on track. Growth-Oriented Environment: There’s continuous guidance and motivation to help everyone reach their potential. Flexible Working Arrangement: I truly appreciate the flexibility, it helps maintain a good work-life balance. Positive Culture: I’m very grateful for the opportunity to grow professionally and personally with such a dedicated and caring team.
Target-Based Income: There are performance targets to achieve in order to earn more income. However, I see this as a privilege , it pushes us to aim higher and rewards us with bigger income when we perform well.
Nice colleague and fun classes
Management love to change rules.
