Workplace reviews and discussion: 捷元股份有限公司

More people sharing the hardships together (?)

Overtime pay is provided; when they say double pay, they really do pay double. That may be the only advantage.

There are so many things that I don't even know where to start...

The pay is very low, and overtime is extremely frequent. People on the previous shift have to make up for the work left by the following shift, causing many employees to leave after only a short time and perpetuating an unresolved vicious cycle. On top of that, when you're exhausted and make a mistake because you're distracted, you'll be singled out and criticized, while some people make countless mistakes and are never reprimanded. Sometimes, to handle the workload, employees are not only required to arrive early and stay late for overtime on weekdays, but are also asked to work overtime on holidays. Then they just throw out the phrase “we all need to get through this difficult time together,” while refusing to hire more people despite claiming they are looking. As a result, a considerable amount of the workload is handled by part-time employees.

The environment is extremely dirty. The thick layer of dust that has accumulated over who knows how many years on the air-conditioning vents is never cleaned. Aside from a few specific restrooms that someone “specially” cleans, the restrooms in the frontline areas are so dirty that they look like they have never been cleaned. Even when doors break, no one repairs them. Large cockroaches and rats are common. Ventilation is also extremely poor: when the backup diesel generator runs for too long, smoke (carcinogenic substances) that cannot disperse for several hours fills the indoors as if there were a fire. Yet employees are only allowed to stay inside and are not permitted to go outside for fresh air.

There are many other problems that I could go on about..... In short, anyone who is curious can give it a try. When I first read the reviews, I thought it might not be that bad, but after actually working there for a while, I found it was far beyond my expectations! (lol)
