Workplace reviews and discussion: 漢珍數位圖書股份有限公司

Some vendor contacts are reasonable people who can be communicated with.

1. New hires receive no training upon joining. They are simply told to look through the shared-drive files, but the shared drive is a complete mess—finding anything is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Without knowing anything, you are thrown straight into dealing with clients or vendors, only to have your professionalism and internal handover issues questioned. It is extremely embarrassing.

2. There are no SOPs.

3. Compared with more experienced managers, senior supervisors lack basic knowledge of design aesthetics and marketing planning, making it somewhat difficult to reach a consensus during communication. Sometimes they do not respect frontline employees’ ideas and refuse to communicate.

4. During the interview, they said that overtime was generally not required, but when occasional overtime did occur, they provided neither overtime pay nor compensatory leave (saying it had to be requested in advance), because the position is classified as a responsibility-based role.

5. The starting salary is low, salary increases are minimal, benefits are scarce, the company’s hardware and software are outdated, and senior management’s thinking has failed to keep up with the times.

6. Although it is a small company, internal factions are extremely divided. Even if you just want to do your job properly, you still have to worry about taking sides. It is truly exhausting.

7. Colleagues frequently pass the buck.

8. The content of the previous two points is all true. Even after several years, things are still the same. Frontline employees have very few opportunities for promotion. This place is suitable for coasting toward retirement; young, capable newcomers seeking challenges are advised to skip it entirely.
