Workplace reviews and discussion: 群益金鼎證券股份有限公司

Working as a sales representative is relatively easy; you mainly just need to place orders and maintain relationships with clients. The salary consists of a fixed base pay, and the benefits are guaranteed.

Supervisors look after new employees and provide plenty of opportunities to learn.

1. For new employees, being a few minutes late means having to take a full hour of personal leave, which is very unreasonable.

2. When retired sales representatives’ clients are assigned to new employees, some of the former representatives are always hostile toward the newcomers. It’s not everyone, but a few of them have really awful attitudes.

3. It’s essentially a low-cost labor environment. They expect you to work overtime most of the time (without overtime pay), and when internal staff leave, new employees are asked to provide support. It’s basically impossible to handle both responsibilities, so the workload increases while the salary stays the same.

4. I helped support the back office. Most people there were quite nice, but one person had an inexplicably terrible attitude. My supervisor told me that this person was slow at opening accounts and needed support—it wasn’t as if I owed him anything. Thinking about that attitude really makes it difficult to want to continue working there.
