Workplace reviews and discussion: 東森電視事業股份有限公司

Completely hands-off and very free; colleagues have close relationships and are also very willing to help newcomers become familiar with the environment.

There is absolutely no such thing as employee education or training, and the actual situation is completely different from the description on the job bank.

The supervisor is emotional and very subjective about work-related matters, with no consistent standards, leaving people with no rules or guidelines to follow at all.

Because there is no such thing as training, you are expected to learn as you work; when you make a mistake, you get scolded. You can only learn from your colleagues and try to avoid making mistakes. Yet sometimes, after learning from colleagues, you are still scolded by the supervisor, and it turns into a situation where more senior employees are given leeway by the supervisor and their mistakes are overlooked because of their longer tenure. Does that mean more senior employees will not be given a hard time by the supervisor?

Sometimes newcomers are unfamiliar with or do not understand the news and television industry, but the supervisor does not give them any direction; instead, it feels like they are deliberately making things difficult for them.

On average, there are 0.5 to 1 hour of overtime every day. For newcomers, it basically starts at 1 hour, and the supervisors above do not think this is too much of a burden for newcomers. They only say that everyone went through the same thing. Needless to say, there is absolutely no overtime pay.

Newcomers naturally need to learn, and even when the higher-ups finally allocate training courses to the department, the supervisor blocks them, claiming that they are afraid the courses will delay the usual work progress.
