Entry level · Former employee · Contract
- What they liked
Company culture is good.
- What was challenging
Heavy workload for front-line staff, with very low pay. Most entry-level positions are temporary and contract, so there is job uncertainty.
- Their advice
Great entry-level job to get experience. Not a long-term place to work due to low & non-competitive salary.

Unrealistic targets, strict time tracking, low compensation.

If you are looking for something flexible. KPMG-JESS is the place to be. If you can't manage a fast-paced, heavy workload environment - stay far away.

- What they liked
The place was small and open so you got to know your colleagues more.
- Their advice
I know persons that stay for years and persons that leave within just a few months. They have a high turnover and its mostly customer service. So if you must, then do it, if not, try somewhere else.

- What they liked
They used HR systems and platforms for communication, meetings, files, etc. So the environment felt somewhat modern but every other area was lacking. The fact that they hired me on the spot was the first red flag. Quest has an incredibly high turnover rate. The environment was utterly chaotic. They run that place like a gang/mob. And the appearance of even the building itself is disgusting. There's mold in the bathrooms and the rain came down hard one time and the roof came in...
- What was challenging
Communication was terrible. They had no structure.
- Their advice
If you want a stable and safe environment to work in, Quest is not it. Quest = No Job Security.

The knowledge I’ve gained/ currently acquiring to help others who don’t really understand this part of family security.
- What was challenging
The workload and limited resources, if one or two person from frontline are out, it creates a domino effect

Be prepared to dedicate some time to actually put in the work.

- What they liked
The pay and management is what I hate. As the inventory coordinator you better not have responsibilities, you have to ensure you’re still living with your parents. Use this company as a stepping stone to a greater work environment.
- What was challenging
I only found management challenging and based on what I’ve heard he has been this way.
- Their advice
If working as inventory controller, hopefully you’re a woman because men tend to get treated worse.i wasn’t treated fairly and always got the stress taken out on. Imagine being shouted at for being watching the World Cup during the World Cup but when others are doing it you’re asking the scores

- What they liked
They had a reasonably good management system.
- What was challenging
The workload and work hours were cruel. Indepemdent department functions were overlooked by managers decision often times. People safety and working conditions were taken for granted. Not much understanding and leniency was shown to the works. Finally the corruption of authority that have cause imdividual to lose their livelihood was a common case.
- Their advice
If you consider your wellbeing, mentally and physically as well as being compensated to maintain yourself or even a family which is even work if you are not a single person, please look else where.
