Working in a ROHQ

[yabbikins]

Hello mga sis, can yiu share your experiences in working for a Regional Operations Head Quarters like Chase, JP Morgan, Citi Shared, DKS etc? I think most of them are back end jobs. Im being head hunted for one kasi. thanks in advance!

i work for an ROHQ but it's not one of the companies you've listed.

the only perk i see - 15% tax!

i work for one but no tax break for us employees!

sa citi, sabi ng isang manager sakin: haggard ang work environment. madalas overtime pero you're well-compensated naman. it's back-office btw.

the ending: i didn't accept the job. i want a work-life balance.

my husband works for an ROHQ but the tax break only applies for certain levels/positions

I didnt accept it na rin

^^ yes, may certain criteria that one has to meet to qualify for 15% tax, such as x amount annual salary, position/level, technical skills, etc.

I'm working in a ROHQ of the biggest Autralian Telco.  How is it?  Hmmmm... flexi time with work from home option, way above industry compen, and Australians are easier to deal with (compared to Indians, Americans and Chinese) BUT the down side is 'reverse discrimination' from kapwa pinoy staff. (Good thing I can manage it) Other than the downside, everything is rosy in my corporate life.

^ anong company yan sis?

[pressany]

We're not allowed to post it here but it is "the biggest and oldest" Australian telephone company in Australia and New Zealand and we are moving into asian market.

@dashee
Di ba magkaiba ang ROHQ sa IT-BPO and CC-BPO?

Kung toxic pa rin dyan, anong klaseng company lang merong work-life balance?

[dashee]

^not necessarily. yung iba naman ay financial BPO (like Citi) at hindi puro IT and CC services ang pinoprovide natin.

hmm..sa tingin ko pag small and local company may work and life balance. baba nga lang ng sweldo
