The only advantage is that communication with the supervisor you report to is still possible.
As a graphic designer—or what the general public calls a visual editor/graphic artist—the revisions and communication you have to deal with are not even worth mentioning.
I’ll only list the three points that left the deepest impression:
1. One of the shareholders is also the general manager and operates a branch in northern Taiwan. Once a week, they come to the company for a senior management meeting. There is a very small chance they will ask you to make something, but if they are dissatisfied, they will become emotional and speak harshly. They will also call you a cripple if you cannot drive.
2. The company works with the RT-Mart retail channel. It is not enough for the design to be approved internally; it also has to be approved by RT-Mart’s procurement department.
3. The company has three accountants. One of them has a son and daughter who came to the company during the 2020 year-end factory photo shoot. They were elementary-school age and completely ill-mannered. There were many guests at the entrance, yet they bullied company personnel there—snatching pens, throwing candy, and fooling around! Even someone with excellent self-control would almost lose their temper. They would not listen even when spoken to politely. In the end, when the staff member was about to lose their temper, those so-called elders finally stood beside the employee, presumably because they were afraid outsiders would discipline their children. There was not even an apology afterward!
If I could give half-stars, I would give it 2.5 stars.
