Workplace reviews and discussion: 威翰文創股份有限公司

Is taking time off easy?

A company that shows very little respect for people. If the boss dislikes you, they can dismiss you for any reason. Two weeks before the annual bonus was due to be paid, they told me to leave—and they did not even give me time to collect my belongings or say goodbye to my colleagues; they only wanted to get rid of me as quickly as possible.

As for the systems, they are a complete mess, and the organizational structure is utterly confusing.

There are no principles at work; everything is decided by the CEO and the vice president!

The salary is even worse. For someone with three years of work experience, they offer only a little over 20,000, then promise that your salary will definitely be increased after three months. They paint all sorts of blueprints that are impossible to realize. They say it is an administrative position, but once you join, they make you work as a sales assistant. They say you will be doing graphic design, but then expect you to take on marketing as well. Because some colleagues are too capable, they are assigned many tasks that are clearly outside their responsibilities. Whenever something goes wrong, the people below are always blamed. They expect you to be highly capable but are unwilling to offer corresponding pay, so the extremely high turnover is inevitable.

The sales bonuses are practically nonexistent. In a good month, you might get about 10 dollars, enough to buy a bottle of Macu Red Tea and share it with a colleague.

During the company’s shipping periods, everyone—regardless of position—is sent to work as a packer. Even if you work until you are exhausted, the boss will only tell you to get a 10-dollar ice pop from the freezer, as if that makes up for it. There is absolutely no additional pay.

You may want to help promote the business, but the company’s products are so poor in quality that you feel guilty every day. Every time you sell a product, you feel as though you have taken another step toward hell.

You also have to deal with people who have serious emotional-regulation issues. You may be berated or given dirty looks for no reason, and the work atmosphere is terrible. You are not allowed to chat with colleagues from other departments because management is afraid that if colleagues become too close, one person’s resignation will trigger a domino effect. They are completely out of their minds.
