The boss is a woman and a really nice person. She sometimes treats us to snacks and drinks, and the company also covers lunch during work, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. Compared with other places, it’s very generous and a good company. The cons described below absolutely do not mean that this company is bad, but rather concern a “certain bad apple” at the company.
If you’re applying as an apprentice, watch out for someone whose surname is Yu. From my very first day at work, he started trying to manipulate me—he showed no courtesy. I only realized after leaving that this was a terrifying experience. Sometimes he may chat and joke with you, but that isn’t because he wants to get to know you; it’s because he happens to be in a good mood and feels like talking to you. Oh, and the reason I say this is that this industry has a hierarchy between seniors and juniors, similar to the seniority system among nurses in hospitals. You must not offend the “senior” at this company—the one whose surname is Yu. He looks careless and talks big, constantly lecturing men; you say one sentence and he argues against ten. Having to spend nearly ten hours a day working with someone like this is painful. If you show even a little impatience or become emotional, he won’t show you any courtesy either! Using his seniority as authority, he will relentlessly suppress you and erase your opportunities to grow. A large part of the reason this company can’t recruit apprentices is definitely this bad apple’s fault. He drives people away, then complains that nobody wants to come work there~
You think you’re here to learn technical skills, but in reality you’re competing with your senior 😊 He will mess with you in all kinds of ways and use psychological manipulation to suppress you, all to push you down. I don’t know how many people he drove away before me, but he won’t tell you. If you really want to come, prepare in advance for how to deal with this bad apple. I was simply too naive and thought I was only coming to learn technical skills. Take care, everyone.
