Workplace reviews and discussion: 雅美室內裝修設計有限公司

This is mainly about "雅美設計工程有限公司"

Because I couldn’t find a category for this company, I can only leave a comment here.

Pros:

The office is fairly comfortable.

The general manager is Japanese, and most of the projects they take on are also Japanese construction projects,

so there are plenty of opportunities to use and practice Japanese.

The pay is fairly good.

Basically, the coworkers are all quite nice.

Occasionally, afternoon tea snacks are provided.

When hardware equipment is needed, the company is generally quite generous about upgrading or purchasing it.

Although I applied for a purchasing assistant position, I was told to learn AI as soon as I joined.

Everyone has different access permissions for the company’s shared files, so it often happens that a coworker asks you to handle a file, but you don’t have access to it and need another coworker to send it to you.

The company constantly develops new partner vendors and refuses to cultivate long-term partnerships.

For example, if buildings are to be constructed in Sanmin District and Lingya District in Kaohsiung, the company will ask you to find partner vendors in each of the two districts separately, rather than finding one vendor to handle both buildings.

The scope of the position is very broad.

Although I was hired as a purchasing employee, I was also expected to use AI to help create drawings.

Previously, a coworker was hired as an administrative assistant, but was also required to help the designers create drawings using AI, find partner vendors, and was even transferred to construction sites to assist with supervision.

About half of the coworkers are people who have known one another for a long time and are part of the same in-group.

As a result, it is difficult to fit in with them on many matters.

Several coworkers have part-time jobs at bars in the evenings.

During the day, they also handle matters related to their evening jobs.

Although they only do this during spare time, the supervisors also know about it and do not seem to react much.

The accounting staff do not seem to understand basic labor rights very well.

I previously asked the accounting staff about the procedure for taking personal leave, but they could not explain how many days in advance leave had to be requested, how the deduction would be calculated, or how many annual leave days there would be.

The only answer was, "Just tell the chairman and general manager a few days in advance."
