No, there really aren't any. To be honest, the only thing I learned was how to suppress my anger.

They don't even dare turn on the Google listing to show how many negative reviews there are.

1. All overtime pay is converted into compensatory leave. What they called “helping out with the exhibition setup” meant I was taken away in the morning to set things up and didn't return to the company until 11 p.m. The exhibition was opening the next day. During the exhibition the following afternoon, they suddenly drove me back and said I could leave early. The next day, they said no one was coming in the morning, so I didn't need to go either. Then I saw that the overtime hours on my overtime form had been conveniently offset completely.

2. I got the feeling that, because I am a man, I was constantly told to travel for work, move things, pack things, unpack things, laminate, unpack and move boxes, stick things on, organize rolls, and scan huge quantities of items—often being told to do it all alone. In the end, all I got was, “This is too slow.” Basically, male employees are treated as manual labor.

3. The clients' problems become your problems too. If the client doesn't provide all the files, it's your problem—and the key point is that they don't charge revision fees, so you can basically only keep making changes over and over.

4. Every day you also have to be the boss's memo, typing up so-called to-do lists. Even after you remind and urge them, they may not do it right away; they drag it out until the last minute and then blame you. It's completely absurd. Before I left, I was working on certificates. I checked the quantities, put them in order, arranged the names, and even separated them into layers. When I asked at the end, they said everything was fine. Everything had been confirmed. The next day, they said several were still in the room upstairs and asked me, “Did you know some were missing? How could you be so careless?” (Who was supposed to know??)

5. As soon as you join the company, you're expected to learn every process. When they want something changed, they can't give you any specific feedback and just throw out, “I don't think this works.” You have to find and figure out everything yourself, as if you're supposed to know everything. Then they ask you, “Isn't the file right here? Isn't it supposed to be like this?”

7. They speak extremely impatiently and occasionally make sarcastic remarks at you. If they see that you're new, they'll make things especially difficult for you. The turnover is extremely high, so I'll say no more.

8. The studio has only five people; excluding the owner and the owner's wife, there are only three employees. The owner's wife was originally a senior full-time designer, but she isn't often there and only handles major projects. Let's call it 3.5 employees. I was a design assistant along with another person, and there was also one senior designer. The workload was completely overwhelming. It was basically like hiring you for as little money as possible and making you do as much as possible. My personal experience was that it was exhausting and not worth it, and even after completing the work, they couldn't give any substantive feedback. If you're interested, you can look up the owner's educational background on Facebook.

9. The reason they ultimately wanted me to leave was: “You've been doing too much manual labor that has nothing to do with design.” They told me to move things and do this huge pile of miscellaneous tasks, then said I was doing too much manual labor?? As for design-related work, everyone had already left and there was no one to hand things over to me. Then they said my abilities were insufficient. Whenever there was work, before I had even finished one task, they would immediately dump another one on me. They were basically using me as a worker for their exhibition while paying minimum wage, making me do things that had nothing to do with my position—and all of it was assigned by the boss. I quietly treated it as work assigned by my supervisor and did it. In the end, they said I was doing too much of the work they had assigned and hoped I would leave on my own. I was like, “Okay.”

If you're planning to interview with this company, all I can say is: think twice. The supposed benefits and training system simply don't exist. And as for whether they dare turn the Google listing back on—if the rating system allowed me to give a bad rating, I'd really want to give them the worst possible rating.
