    Very Challenging!!!
    The good thingsFair in benefits with HMO for staff, even project hire. You learn a lot since there's different projects can be assigned to you at the same time.
    The challengesThe challenges or struggles was there's too many "Rushed" Material Request on Site or Poor Materials request planning by the End-users. The PM or Supervisor sometimes tolerate the end-users and eventually the blame will fall on the Procurement on site. Heavy workload sometimes because you will handle multiple projects. Office politics was always present.
