＞The company has a coffee machine, and the beans are from “Coffee Bean Workshop” near the company. They’re not bad.
＞The office provides free fruit, such as bananas and oranges, so you can eat some if you’re hungry.
＞Most of the colleagues are basically nice people.
＞The computers run extremely slowly; opening a single image takes a minute. Word also crashes frequently. When I brought this up with my supervisor, I was scolded: “The person who used this computer before never said anything about it?!”
＞The supervisor speaks in a very sarcastic tone and takes out the frustration caused by being busy on subordinates.
＞When new employees don’t do well, they are taught at first. Later, the supervisor gets annoyed and simply takes the work back and does it themselves, becoming even busier and more frustrated. But aren’t new employees—especially when this was my first job—supposed to be trained in the first place?
＞The job involved conducting interviews that required a camera. After I said I didn’t have one, the supervisor said in a very unpleasant tone: “A camera is essential. Please prepare one in advance next time.” At the same time, however, the nice supervisor from the neighboring department said, “You can borrow the company camera!” OK, so which is it? This place has absolutely no system!
＞Finally, on Thursday, my supervisor informed me, “I want you to work until the end of this week.” I don’t have any other work experience, but by common sense, this seems extremely strange. In my previous part-time jobs, whether from the employer’s or employee’s side, people were supposed to give notice early and give employees more time to make arrangements, right? What about people under financial pressure?
＞This is a very typical Taiwanese company-style advertising agency: if you work overtime without pay, that’s your own problem, and if you leave on time, you’ll still be mocked (I heard it myself—the supervisor directly made fun of a colleague after they left on time). Some departments are very idle while others are extremely busy, so if you still want to apply, ask around first.
