Workplace reviews and discussion: 信義房屋仲介股份有限公司

1. Very stable (there were no layoffs even during the pandemic, and it was very convenient to purchase alcohol and masks)

2. Leave scheduling is quite flexible at some branches, while at others it depends on the manager (for example, at some branches in a certain Taipei area, some branch managers would "control" which days secretaries could take off and prohibit weekends, etc.)

3. Most secretary colleagues are friendly and supportive, though a small number still engage in "unreasonable criticism over trivial matters" (for example, a secretary may be scolded because the branch carpet is facing the wrong direction, even though many colleagues and managers enter and leave the branch without anyone noticing?)

4. There is a department dinner every month, or someone treats everyone to drinks each month (varies by area)

5. The longer a secretary has worked there, the more "special leave" they receive (8–12 or even 15 days off per month is possible)

6. The company does not discriminate against single parents or mothers with children

7. There are many types of benefits; secretaries receive a year-end bonus as well as virtual currency (better than YongX)

1. Branch secretaries have an enormous number of duties. The job is not limited to handling the administration of their own branch; the workload is disproportionate to the salary, and the people and circumstances that must be adapted to differ from branch to branch.

2. The workload and difficulty increase year by year, but salaries are not adjusted annually. You might work there for six years without ever receiving a raise (you can only wait for government-mandated salary increases).

3. Secretaries handling special assignments need to be extremely mobile. They must cover their own fuel costs when traveling for appointments, and business staff may also treat them as branch secretaries.

4. Some branches are very far from home, so commuting takes a long time and requires riding a scooter or driving yourself.
