The boss is a woman and a really nice person. Sometimes she treats us to snacks and drinks, and the company also covers lunch on workdays, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. Compared with other places, it’s very generous and a good company. The drawbacks mentioned below absolutely do not mean this company is bad, but rather concern a certain “rotten apple” at the company.
If you’re applying for an apprentice position, watch out for someone with the surname Yu. From my very first day at work, he started trying to manipulate me psychologically, with no attempt to be polite. I only realized after leaving that this was a terrifying experience. He might sometimes chat and joke with you, but that’s not 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 seniority system, similar to the senior-junior system in hospitals. You must not offend the company’s “senior”—that is, the person with the surname Yu. He looks careless and flippant, makes exaggerated claims, and engages in all kinds of male lecturing: you say one sentence and he counters with ten. Having to spend nearly 10 hours at work with someone like this is extremely painful. If you show even a little impatience or become emotional, he won’t go easy on you either! Using his authority as a senior, he will mercilessly suppress you and erase your opportunities to grow. This company’s inability to recruit apprentices is probably largely caused by this rotten apple. He drives people away and then complains, “No one wants to come work here~”
You think you’re here to learn technical skills, but in reality you’re competing with your senior 😊 He’ll deliberately mess with you and use psychological manipulation to suppress you, just to keep 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 yourself for how to deal with this rotten apple. I was simply too naïve and thought I was only coming to learn technical skills. Take care.
