Administrative assistant
Cubicle seating
Before joining, I had browsed previous reviews and thought that after trying it for a year, things would unconditionally get better.
I had not even encountered the story about the boss’s mistress’s child mentioned in point 3 before I had already left the job. I strongly do not recommend this position: there is no training, and there is a lot of infighting.
1. The company is vegetarian; the situations described below are all true.
2. The person who supervised me was effectively the boss’s assistant (I’m not sure whether she was the boss’s wife). She required employees to figure out the ERP system on their own after joining and did not provide proper training. Even she herself did not really understand how to use it.
3. The company received many phone calls, and the atmosphere was very dull. All work relied on paper records.
4. Every week, there was a meeting to review the previous week’s performance. The production department relied on the delivery dates provided by the business assistants, but there was no supporting SOP for determining delivery dates, so everyone was thrown into chaos.
5. I noticed that assistants who worked diligently had more tasks, while those who did not work hard were assigned very little. The workload was unevenly distributed.
6. I encountered the boss’s mother mentioned below several times, but never spoke with her. I heard a lot of gossip.
7. Nobody left work on time. The one-stop nature of the work created a high level of self-imposed pressure.
8. Employees had to take turns cleaning the toilets, and the company used groundwater.
Recommendation: This is only suitable for people who are highly independent, do not have too much self-awareness, and are smart and good at reading the room.
Otherwise, I do not recommend it at all.
I heard that the year-end banquet serves vegetarian food… and that it is mandatory!!
