Workplace reviews and discussion: 太平洋崇光百貨股份有限公司

The company is profitable, the benefits are good, and the salary is average.

The facilities are outdated, and General Affairs is extremely stingy. Many pieces of equipment are left to deteriorate rather than being replaced. Once, a department's phone was damaged after a drink was spilled on it, but they still refused to replace it and insisted that the Engineering Department repair it. I think that phone was older than I am. Poor thing.

There are many cliques, and the system is very Japanese in style. There are more supervisors than subordinates, and the hierarchy is pronounced. Newcomers are pitiful and have endless work to do. Remember to get on the right people's good side.

There are many long-serving employees in the office, most of whom seem to have adopted a retirement mentality: “It’s best if nothing happens, and even if something does, don’t come to me.” When I resigned, the computer system encountered an error, and a supervisor in HR yelled at me and told me to contact the IT Department to handle it. I was truly stunned—it was as if that were my job.
