The company appears to be closely tied to environmentally friendly themes, and its prospects seem bright.
If you join the packaging division, you will quickly become the head of that division—and the only one.
There are two main departments in Taipei: one makes paper cups and tableware, while the other handles product packaging.
The manager of the tableware department has a relatively forceful management style, and overtime is frequent. At least, however, the department brings in revenue and does provide the bonuses and profit sharing advertised on the job site.
By comparison, the situation in the packaging division is questionable. On the surface, the manager emphasizes freedom to innovate, but in practice mostly does nothing and merely makes empty promises.
The division's performance is nearly zero. The reasons include insufficient design experience and the low efficiency of factories in mainland China. Competitors' samples have long since passed testing, while GB's samples are often held up in logistics. Their yield rate is also low, resulting in repeated rework. By the time a barely presentable sample is ready, customers have already adopted competitors' solutions.
Employees at the mainland China factory work extremely long hours—8 a.m. to 11 p.m. is the norm—yet efficiency remains poor. When resources are needed, asking the manager only leads to being passed from person to person, and ultimately nothing is provided. The manager instead shifts the blame onto employees, saying they have “insufficient ability,” are “not proactive enough,” and “lack aspirations for the future”—truly a master of PUA.
As for the so-called benefits—naturally, with no performance there are no bonuses or profit sharing either. The department's afternoon tea is nothing more than a coffee machine in the break room.
