Workplace reviews and discussion: 金湖水產實業有限公司

1. The benefits system is fairly comprehensive: a five-day workweek with public holidays off, bonuses for the three major festivals, year-end bonuses, wedding gifts, and so on. However, the year-end bonus is calculated based on length of service (under the old system).

2. Paid annual leave is provided, calculated under the old system.

3. Employees can purchase the company’s own products at lower prices and may also have opportunities to sample some products.

4. Work schedules are relatively flexible. Aside from fixed duties, other miscellaneous tasks can be arranged and completed at your own discretion (depending on the position).

5. A monthly group-meal allowance is provided.

1. It is a traditional industry and also a family-owned business. Occasionally, the owner’s relatives or friends may ask to purchase xx products, requiring time to host and assist them.

2. Staffing is tight, and it is common for one person to take on multiple roles.

3. The owner places great importance on performance and requires each department to meet performance targets, but even when the targets are actually met, the performance bonus is not substantial…

4. You can try applying for overtime pay, but whether it will be granted depends on approval from senior management.

5. Communication within the company can be confusing and unclear. Sometimes senior management gives instructions only by phone or verbally, which can lead to mistakes, but employees are the ones who get reprimanded afterward.

6. It is recommended that you negotiate a salary within an acceptable range from the beginning, as salaries are generally adjusted only once a year.

7. The company’s systems often malfunction. Since the company does not employ an engineer, every breakdown can only be handled by an outsourced engineer, frequently delaying work progress.

8. If your work performance does not meet senior management’s expectations, you may be pressured or treated unfairly until you resign. When operating conditions are poor, staff reductions may also occur.

9. Pay attention to your words and behavior. Sometimes even an unintended remark may be interpreted as dissatisfaction with senior management.

10. Because staffing is tight, your duties may be reassigned at any time. If there is a shortage of staff somewhere or a colleague resigns, you may be asked to provide support or take over that colleague’s work.
