Workplace reviews and discussion: 台北世界貿易中心股份有限公司

1. The work environment is good, with your own spacious workstation and a large desk.

2. The company restrooms are clean, and most people are fairly easy to get along with.

3. The year-end bonus is fixed at 1.5 months, plus performance bonuses (but these depend on your boss’s evaluation; some people receive a lot, while others receive less than 5,000).

4. Free health checkups are provided (I genuinely think this is great), as well as custom-made company uniforms.

5. Flexible working hours (start between 8:00 and 9:00, leave between 17:00 and 18:00).

There are currently roughly three types of positions at the company: contract assistants (around 25,000), professional staff A (take-home pay under 30,000), and professional staff B (take-home pay close to 40,000).

I am a Professional A, so the following is an evaluation from a Professional A’s perspective.

1. The work you do can never be proportional to the salary; it is inversely proportional!!

2. On the surface, this job looks prestigious and well-paid, but in reality, outsourced employees take home less than 30,000.

3. Although it is supposedly a world trade company, full-time employees constantly call us “outsourced, outsourced, outsourced.” Sometimes the job duties even overlap with those of full-time employees (who were hired through the regular recruitment process), while the salary difference between full-time employees and Professional A starts at 20,000–30,000.

4. If you successfully interview for a position in another department of the company, your original department will force you to resign. Your seniority is immediately wiped out and restarted from scratch; after you join another department, your seniority is recalculated.

4. When I tried to apply for a Professional B position (which pays 10,000 more), I was repeatedly told that I lacked the work experience expected of a Professional B. I was advised to first learn and perform Professional B duties as a Professional A (with take-home pay under 30,000), accumulate Professional B experience, and then see whether I might have a chance to apply for a Professional B position.

5. The bonuses for the three major holidays are extremely small—less than 1,000.

6. If you are a recent graduate, you can come here to gain some experience, but it is not suitable to stay too long because the pay is too low!
