Workplace reviews and discussion: 迦勒廣告事業有限公司

1. The company’s location is very convenient.

2. The interview was pleasant, and they didn’t ask overly personal questions. The interview lasted more than 30 minutes.

3. Working hours are 8:30–17:30, which seems different from what was previously provided. Maybe they have been adjusted? If you are late, they now follow the regulations under the Labor Standards Act, and there is no unauthorized absence as others have mentioned. I joined this year.

4. Labor and health insurance and group insurance are provided, and my actual salary is reported for both labor insurance and pension contributions. I was enrolled in the group insurance on my first day of work.

5. I’m in sales, and the salary and bonuses offered are very attractive. The boss and senior colleagues are very helpful.

6. The company provides motorcycles.

7. The most appealing thing is that the business is ongoing, there is no vicious competition over major accounts internally, and resources are allocated fairly. Since joining after the Lunar New Year, I haven’t received fewer resources than senior colleagues, and the administrative staff are very helpful.

8. I may still be inexperienced, but I feel that things aren’t as scary as described in the previous reviews. I only saw those reviews after recommending that a friend apply for an internal position and she told me the company had a terrible reputation. It’s also possible that I just haven’t encountered anything particularly bad yet.

9. It’s a Christian company, which I only recently found out. I’m Taoist myself, but the company has no religious atmosphere at all. The executive assistant is the boss’s wife, which I also only recently learned, but it doesn’t feel like a family business.

10. Nothing expresses satisfaction better than seeing the amount of salary you receive.

1. I find parking difficult. It takes a long time to find a parking space every time. You can rent a parking space downstairs from the company, but you have to pay for it yourself.

2. Sales staff have to clock in and out, and if you can’t make it back to the office in time, you can request official leave. It’s a bit troublesome.

3. The company has around a dozen employees. I joined at the beginning of this year, and apart from the year-end banquet, there aren’t many employee activities, so colleagues don’t really interact with one another.

4. If you really like becoming friends with your colleagues, this may not be a good fit. Compared with my previous job, we don’t have conflicts, but we aren’t familiar with one another either. Sales staff are usually not in the office, and the administrative staff eat their meals separately during break time.

5. Sales staff have to report their performance regularly. If your performance does not meet the target, you will be monitored closely. During my first few months, I felt that people disliked me, but after I produced results, I realized I had probably been overthinking it.

6. Sales staff do not receive fuel subsidies, but when traveling elsewhere on business, you can apply for accommodation expenses.

7. What I dislike most is that the air conditioning is extremely cold. The company has an open-plan layout with a phone booth, meeting room, and office area. The air conditioning is freezing; the administrative staff wear long sleeves to work almost every day or bring thick jackets. The company provides a water dispenser, but when it runs out of water, you have to replace it yourself.

8. The company’s way of doing things is quite rigid, and it will offend many people. I heard that someone tried to use resignation as leverage to ask for a raise, but failed, hahaha. Basically, this is a company that recent graduates should not join.

9. According to the administrative staff, they need to work off-site. You can use a company vehicle or choose to take transportation yourself, but this is explained clearly during the interview, including confirming whether you can ride a motorcycle, so they don’t really object. When my friend interviewed for an administrative position, the executive assistant directly told them that motorcycle-riding skills were required. My friend couldn’t ride a motorcycle, so they were not hired.
