The environment is pretty good.
The factory has air conditioning (but only in the cool spot directly in front of the air conditioner. The factory floor is huge, so you basically can’t feel the air conditioning anywhere else. And those cool spots are reserved for the veteran workers. Newcomers occasionally get to work there, but only occasionally).
1.
The work is highly dangerous.
For example: holding a sheet of metal 40 cm wide and 60 cm long, weighing approximately 10–15 kg, in one hand while climbing an aluminum ladder to a height of about two and a half floors, then securing the sheet to a machine.
Additional details:
There are "no" so-called safety measures or machinery (such as a lift). It’s exactly as I described: purely manual labor. The coworkers only pick the easier tasks, while this kind of shitty job is left to new employees or outside hires. If you get injured, that’s your problem. Of course, there is labor and health insurance... but who wants to get hurt? Falling from that height is no joke. The factory prioritizes getting the work done over your safety. As long as the task is completed, any method is acceptable, and if a dangerous method can achieve the goal, you are expected to use it. Some senior employees even teach you dangerous methods—and they teach you verbally rather than demonstrating them themselves.

The coworkers are real assholes. Most of what they do is make snide remarks. Also, for the same task, Master A teaches you to do it one way (the correct way), then Master B comes over and chews you out. After you follow Master B’s instructions, Master C comes over and chews you out too (so you go back to Master A’s method again).
The conclusion is that you get the job done using Master A’s method, but after Master B there are still Masters D, E, F, and G. All they do is criticize you, and their suggestions are worthless.
This isn’t an occasional thing—it happens every day. Today, it just happened to be my turn. Other new coworkers have said they’ve had the same experience.
