Not worth your effortThe good things-Cross function working environment.
This is a good step for a freshgrad to learn more about management skills, communication skills, and problem solving skills. Since you're expected to work closely with marketing team, design, and even publishers. Those skills I mentioned will be mostly used.
-High & low season
Just like other office, Mentari mostly busy in the first and last 3 month of the year. Their business is related with school and teachers. So when you're on high season, many things will happen from preparing training, giving training sessions, becoming training moderator on weekends, and etc. But if you're on low season, you will have less things to do.
- Compensatory off day
Since this office has a lot of offline training event during my working period, they also so generous to understand their employees. If you over work 3 weekends in a month, you'll get 1 additional day off.
The challenges-They less care about you
When I joined on August 2019, they didn't register my BPJS kesehatan and Ketenagakerjaan directly. Instead, they register me around 11 months later together with my friend who happened to be in 1 batch. I don't know what's the point of this. I wasn't aware if this is violating employees' rights until I resign a year later. Due to their ignorance on register their employee BPJS timely, my balance for Ketenagakerjaan was empty for a year. They even reported my salary in UMR (my salary here wasn't UMR) to deduct payment but this led to receiving less money in my Ketenagakerjaan account.
-Overtime
During my working period, they have weird working hours. For Monday, Wednesday, and Friday need to work from 8-6, it's 3 more hours per week (standard hour is 40hrs/week). Again, they said it's their rule.
If they have offline event, I need to prepare the training handout, stationary, and other training needs. Sometimes I stayed until 8/9 PM to ensure all things are done and need to standby around 6 AM for the next day because I often appointed to be the MC for offline events. For your note, Mentari might have 2-3 offline events in a month. In average their events ended around 2-3 PM. With all those overtime, Mentari cannot afford overtime fee for long working hours. They said it's part of your responsibilities and included to your jobdesk so company no need to pay extra.
-Family company
Again this is a family company. CEO and BoD are in the same family tree. They are working closely on day to day operations. Sometimes their idea is a flop, because they just want to catch 'the moment' without having a proper thinking for a long run.
Another thing about family company is, as long as you're close with CEO or BoD, your skills and knowledge might come later. They even invited 1 person who don't have capabilities in training/teaching to assess my microteaching session.
-No hard skill training for Curriculum & Training department
When I was on offering period, they mentioned that I'll be given many training sessions for me to learn and grow. But the fact, I always assigned to be moderator/MC during training events and no chance to learn as participant.
