Workplace reviews and discussion: 創空間概念股份有限公司

1. Basically, the managers of every department in this company know how to tell stories and make grand promises. Having ideas is a good thing, but if they cannot be delivered, they are nothing more than fantasies—just listen and move on.

2. The advantage is that there are no standards, which is also the biggest disadvantage.

3. The boss creates an atmosphere that seems to show a lot of love for employees, but in practice, the turnover rate speaks for itself—it is truly astonishing.

1. The senior executives and affiliated-company managers basically get things done with talk alone. Everything sounds simple when they explain it, but when problems arise during actual execution, they have no answers whatsoever. To handle one issue, you have to go through a whole chain of people; by then, either the employee has resigned or you cannot find the right contact. It is utterly ridiculous.

2. It may look like a group-style operation, but in reality it is currently a small-scale organization that keeps drawing up large-scale plans. Perhaps the company and its private stakeholders have other investments and plans that employees simply do not know about. The benefits, salaries, and bonuses are all mediocre—mediocre among the mediocre, and on average lower than those in the industry—while there is far more work than in the industry. Much, much more.

3. The company’s philosophy seems to be that it is employees’ duty to help the company make money immediately, but when it comes time for the company to give employees bonuses, everything becomes incredibly difficult. There are plenty of design companies with more extensive group-style management systems, so take a look at them and you will see how far behind this company’s back-office operations are. Reimbursement claims are especially troublesome: even after finally completing the approval process, you still have to wait for payment and follow a whole set of back-office processing timelines dictated by accounting and finance. Everything favors the back office. To put it bluntly, isn’t a considerable portion of the back office’s salaries earned through the hard work of frontline employees? Yet frontline staff have to accommodate the back office in everything, making it feel as though their salaries and bonuses were something they had to beg for.

4. The company previously required us to have clients choose furniture brands operated by the company itself. However, turnover among the furniture brand’s sales staff is also extremely high, so it is often impossible to find the original sales contact. Otherwise, there are quality problems when the furniture is delivered to the customer’s home. In the end, they do not even dare try to push the blame onto the customer. There is no need to mention the supposed bonuses for internal referrals—they are an absolute nightmare, and there are even more problems to deal with afterward!

5. This is only the tip of the iceberg; there are so many drawbacks that they cannot all be described. If you want to have a good New Year, choose carefully.
