Workplace reviews and discussion: 功學社教育用品股份有限公司

The concert hall next to the company is very upscale,

but few employees go to see performances there.

The company’s supervisors are generally quite irresponsible toward employees.

They invest few resources in training and, in recent years, have liked to boast about spending little money to find people who can contribute immediately.

Most mid- and senior-level managers are parachuted in, while new employees are usually assigned the worst jobs after joining.

Existing employees have no opportunities for promotion, let alone raises (starting salaries are below the industry standard, and raises are less than 3%).

The company is unwilling to invest more resources in improving the quality of its products (musical instruments), upgrading its technology, and keeping up with trends.

It only wants to bring in experts and new systems to improve the efficiency of each department.

In the end, many people only do things that benefit their own departments at the expense of the company’s interests.

Very few people in the company can actually perform music, and they are not valued. Supervisors just treat it as a talent—but we are a musical instrument manufacturer, after all.....

Although the company is still considered fairly good within the manufacturing industry, its conservative upper management makes it difficult for employees to have the freedom to perform.

The new training program introduced in recent years has made things even more chaotic. The departments did not coordinate properly, making things especially difficult for the people responsible for carrying out the work.

Also, the sales staff here do not receive performance bonuses.

The longer I stay, the more I feel that something is wrong. Please, anyone who is still thinking of joining, wake up quickly.
