Taking leave is easy, and returning to the company after leaving is also convenient. There is freshly ground coffee in the pantry...

1. Low salaries with little growth

2. No smooth promotion channels; the staffing structure is like a stagnant pool

3. Benefits are not great, and the year-end bonus is small

4. Relatives and those with personal connections occupy senior positions directly. Personal opinions interfere excessively with professional judgment, decision-making is not objective, and the company’s growth has stagnated or even regressed.

In short, it embodies the common decline of Taiwan’s traditional manufacturing industry today: it wants to shift from contract manufacturing to its own brand, but the management’s thinking and actions have not progressed accordingly and remain short-sighted. On the surface, it has spent a great deal of money building the brand, but at its core it is still burdened by the legacy of the OEM success of 20 years ago. It is also unwilling to raise employees’ salaries and benefits and does not value talent development. Low pay and a lack of room for growth drive talent away, while high salaries are reserved only for those at the center of power. The company is left with long-serving senior employees and constantly changing newcomers, creating a severe generational gap.

The company as a whole cannot be called terrible, but at best it hovers around the passing mark (some unspoken rules are on the subtle borderline of illegality). As a job choice, it is suitable for people who seek stability and are not looking for much more than a steady life.
