Workplace reviews and discussion: 台灣文創發展股份有限公司

For the work involved in being a building manager, the salary is fairly good.

The position was posted on a job bank as a “Sales and Marketing Specialist,” and the “interviewer” also emphasized that the work was diverse and not as simple as one might imagine. When I stated my salary expectations, they even boasted that they would not be stingy. However, after starting the job, I discovered that the actual salary was only NT$1,000 more per month. In fact, money was not the reason I initially wanted to work at Huashan, so I let that go. But after three days, I could already see through everything here. Basically, no marketing or sales skills are needed at all, because the job is essentially managing a shopping complex. Besides opening and closing the premises and taking attendance at fixed times every day, you also have to handle air-conditioning issues, equipment rentals, voided invoices, and other matters for the tenants. You also have to endure tenants speaking coldly to you in a condescending manner, because to them, you are a building manager, not a sales and marketing specialist. The vendors you invite are also admitted only if they are considered sufficiently influential. In principle, this is a company where “connections make everything possible.” When I submitted my resignation request, the supervisor kept avoiding an interview and refused to face the issue, even saying, “You know this industry is very small, right? You’re embarrassing me by doing this.” Eighteen people left in one year. I urge anyone who sincerely believes that Huashan is a wonderful, artsy cultural haven to wake up quickly.
