Pros

1. Fixed working hours: Except for certain positions governed by a responsibility-based system, the vast majority of employees leave work on time, allowing them to maintain a stable life.

2. Periodic internal auctions: The Activities Department periodically auctions off gifts from special exhibitions, offering them to employees at discounts of 10% to 20% of the original price. Tickets to the related special exhibitions are also available to employees at discounted prices.

3. Convenience store discounts: There is a 7-ELEVEN inside the company, where all purchases receive a 5% discount.

Cons

1. Conservative and rigid employee mindset, with limited overall development potential: Most long-serving employees resist new ideas and feel no urgency about the decline of print media. They still insist on operating models from decades ago and resist keeping up with the times, believing that work is merely a way to “make a living.” Young employees find it difficult to persuade them, fit in, or learn new things. Supervisors sternly and seriously command everyone to be “creative” in the least creative way possible, while the people below are often met with complete silence.

2. Employees required to bear the cost of newspaper subscriptions: At the United Daily News Group’s Economic Daily News, each employee must take on at least one newspaper subscription ($7,200). Employees may choose to subscribe themselves or sell subscriptions externally. It is euphemistically called “I Love Economic Daily News,” but in practice it amounts to a salary deduction with no hesitation.

3. Meager year-end bonus.
