The coworkers are fairly young and easy to get along with (in the production department).
There are Indonesian foreign workers you can chat with and learn Indonesian from.
The environment is okay.
The company often requires overtime (when it exceeds the legal limit, they tell you not to clock in, but there will be a record).
Shift schedules and days off are changed frequently (they tell you the same week), while the office production-control group gets to take time off comfortably.
You really have to be careful when walking around the production floor. If you slip and get injured, that's that—the company doesn't want to pay workers' compensation anyway. They refuse to replace the rain boots, constantly insisting that the cost is too high (one new pair costs as much as three pairs). Even though someone previously suffered burns over 90% of their body, this company still doesn't take employee safety seriously. When choosing between expanding the plant and upgrading the parking lot, they prioritized the plant expansion, changing the parking lot from covered to open-air. The muddy, rocky, uneven ground has caused almost everyone to fall at some point while getting to their vehicles, yet they still insisted on finishing the new plant first (the new plant was also built illegally, against regulations). Then they tell you the company didn't make money this year, so the year-end bonus will be smaller (of course it will be smaller after spending so much ==). Once your late arrivals accumulate to a certain threshold, you also have to climb stairs, do sit-ups, and do push-ups within a time limit.
In short, this is a company that paints you a rosy picture, works you to the point of exhaustion with excessive overtime, and doesn't care about employee safety.
Oh, and apparently you should feel very proud if you last six months~
