Occasionally, we can have drinks during meetings

The company occasionally provides snacks

The supervisor likes and is accustomed to sending messages after working hours and on holidays. Although they claim that the messages are just notices and whether to reply is entirely up to the individual, if you do not like being disturbed outside working hours, this aspect of the company may not be suitable for you.

According to the situation described above, the company’s explanation is that all employees are on a responsibility-based work system, so there is no solution to this issue. Even lunch breaks are frequently interrupted, and you can only coordinate your own break time.

The turnover rate for administrative assistants is relatively high. The supervisor considers both administrative work and some marketing duties to be part of the job, but there is only one salary. The supervisor later stated that these two roles would be handled separately, but the actual situation is uncertain.

If you have dependents who need to be added to your insurance coverage, you must notify and remind the company in advance. A former employee’s dependents still had not been added to the coverage three months after the employee started work.

I would like to share one handover situation: The former employee learned the day before their last day of employment that someone would be taking over the next day. However, on that day, they received a message saying that the person responsible for the handover had canceled because of an incident involving an elderly family member. At noon that same day, they received another message saying that there would be an interviewee that afternoon. After the interviewee was interviewed for approximately one to two hours, the supervisor said that the interviewee would conduct the handover that day. After completing the handover, the interviewee felt they were not suitable for the position and declined the job opportunity.

I would also like to share that one of the company’s supervisors is accustomed to expressing personal thoughts unrelated to work, such as: “We also sacrifice our own vacation time to meet with clients,” and “If I handled this, I could complete it quickly—approximately in this or that amount of time,” and so on. The supervisor also always uses the fact that it is a small company as an excuse for the company’s shortcomings, without ever proactively adjusting or improving its internal policies.

Anyone considering joining this company should think carefully. The confident and eloquent talk during the interview is merely the honeymoon period.
