Workplace reviews and discussion: 堂奧創意廣告股份有限公司

Ha, it will train you to endure hardship.

I worked here during my first few years after entering the workforce. The location was still near National Taiwan University at the time, and it was an advertising company with only four people (the two owners, me, and one part-time student worker), so you had to handle every miscellaneous task: taking out the trash, opening the door, tidying the environment, answering the phone, and so on. Don’t count on the part-time worker, because they wouldn’t come in every day. Once you became more or less accustomed to the job, the two owners would dump a mountain of work on you and go out to “run errands.” Besides the sales agents calling you, the two of them also wouldn’t forget to give you instructions from outside, but you still had to finish the work in your own hands. No matter how much time answering calls and solving problems took, they wouldn’t care. You could end up getting home after midnight, but you still had to arrive on time the next day—or they would deduct money from your salary anyway... And your salary was only around NT$26,000.

They have now moved away from the original address and increased the number of employees (though I don’t know whether they padded the figures~). Anyone considering working there should still think twice.

By the way, their justification for cutting your salary was: as long as a house was sold, you could receive a commission bonus, but the eligibility requirements weren’t as good as you might think. I worked there for over a year and never received that bonus either. XDD
