1. The company is small, with few employees, so there is no backstabbing.
2. There is a snack area where you can freely go to eat and relax for a while. People will also check whether you need a break because you are too tired from work.
3. There are two restrooms, so you do not have to worry about having nowhere to go when nature calls.
4. There are strict dress-code rules, so you will not encounter awkward situations where a colleague is dressed inappropriately and you do not know where to look.
5. There is a one-hour lunch break. If you need to delay your lunch break, you only need to report it to your supervisor.
6. You can learn more than just the responsibilities of your own position, taking care of many different types of work.
7. All the colleagues are very clean and will teach you how to sort your trash. If you leave personal belongings at your workstation, they will also constantly remind you not to leave clutter on your desk.
8. The boss provides many notes and videos for self-directed learning, and you can ask questions about anything you do not understand.
1. There are hardly any senior employees in the entire company, so when you encounter something you do not know how to do, you can only keep asking the boss.
2. The office is extremely, extremely, extremely quiet, with only the sound of keyboards. You are only allowed to put on headphones when contacting others by phone.
3. The boss will ask you into the office from time to time to discuss work details. Sometimes, talking for too long delays your departure time (with no overtime pay). You must finish the day’s workload; otherwise, you will be called in again the next day to discuss issues with your efficiency.
4. The boss expects you to follow his instructed methods and procedures 10,000% of the time. No matter what, just do as he says.
5. Employee turnover is very fast. Everyone is a newcomer; you may just become familiar with a colleague, only for them to resign the next day.
6. There is a three-month probationary period and an evaluation system. There are many training tests that you need to complete. If you do not like writing exams as if you were back in school, this workplace may not be suitable for you.
Summary:
Although it has been some time since I left this company, every time I think about the psychological trauma this boss caused me, I feel I still have to come back and add to my review, so everyone can think for themselves about whether they want to join.
- I had worked steadily at my previous job for more than four years, nearly five. I did not stay at this job for even two weeks.
- Less than a few days after I joined, one person resigned voluntarily. Before the first week was over, another person was fired.
- They were still interviewing and looking for people every day until the day I left. Even when someone in the office already had that job title, their 104 job posting was never closed.
- Everyone works overtime every day without overtime pay. The boss considers this behavior responsible, and leaving on time seems to be viewed as not quite acceptable.
- The office is extremely quiet, to the point of being very uncomfortable.
- No one goes to lunch on time; everyone waits until nearly 1 p.m. before daring to go out to eat.
- A colleague I heard relatively good things about (who also later resigned) told me that after I left, the boss pinned the blame for something on me that was not my fault.
- After I resigned, it took me nearly two months to recover from the psychological trauma the boss caused me.
For everyone’s reference.
