Position: Counselor
If there is training, you can attend classes with pay
It is a good place to toughen your mind
Because one person has to take on multiple roles
You have to receive and assist interviewees, and you also have to help when there are equipment problems
You are also responsible for various administrative tasks in the back office, including cleaning the classrooms and restrooms
First, the most serious drawback:
You only get overtime pay after working two hours of overtime, and overtime must be reported in advance
This policy is more foul-smelling than shit
Who could know how long teachers and students will stay?
During the interview, they said the performance pressure for counselors was about 20%
But in practice, it felt like 90% performance pressure
Because there is a problem with not having enough new students
When that happens, you have to keep making phone calls, and if there are not enough new students to open a class, you will also be criticized
Also, the things you have to do will keep increasing, but the pay will not
At first, the interview only mentioned providing after-class care for students and handling administrative work
In the end, you are expected to master everything from equipment-related tasks, interviews, and learning support to social media marketing
But the most important thing is that the pay does not increase accordingly
The base salary stays as it is and will not go up; the output and compensation are completely disproportionate
Another particularly ridiculous point: this happened when I had been employed for less than three months
Human Resources came to inspect the situation at our site
They kept asking me about the courses before I joined
What??????????????
????????????????????????????????
This was the same HR person who interviewed me back then
If the previous employee had handed things over to me before leaving, that would be one thing
But I joined more than a month after they left
How was I supposed to know what had happened before I joined?
Ridiculous
There is another problem as well:
The company has a very serious gap in staffing
The turnover rate is extremely high
Out of a group of more than 30 new hires, fewer than 6 remained after three months
The senior employees are very experienced, while younger employees leave after only a short time
After all, offering this workload for this salary is practically treating people as worthless
The benefits are not particularly good either
My suggestion is: if this is your first job,
you can come here to challenge and train yourself
It will still help somewhat with your speaking and communication skills
