Flexible working hours
You’ll get yelled at badly. Don’t come.
Better than my previous company,
Flexible working hours,
The company takes employees’ needs into consideration when adjusting work arrangements. One day, it rained heavily in Kaohsiung, and the boss happened to come by while rushing to finish a design, so they went home first without deducting pay. Hmm... the targets still have to be met, but being able to accept this is definitely a big plus,
Almost no overtime,
The supervisor is very responsible, although quite rigid and by-the-book. Still, I’m fine with having her manage me,
I really like the work environment; it’s very clean,
They genuinely care about customers,
The salary is decent.
The boss is really fierce, that’s true. Sales come first, and targets come first. I’ve been severely reprimanded before, but every time after scolding me, the boss also teaches me how to do things. Wouldn’t it be better to just adjust their temper? Strange.
I completely disagree with saying the coworkers are great. People considering joining should be especially careful about the coworkers. A small number of them really like badmouthing the boss and supervisors, and I even found out that they talk badly about me behind my back too—during working hours, by the way ^_^ Getting paid while using work time to badmouth others—isn’t that just so noble? I’m speechless ==; As for the things submitted in the group, even though I’m not from the same field, I do them better than she does. She hosted a meeting without even knowing what she was talking about, yet she was the harshest person when criticizing others. Does she think no one knows? Hehe, truly so noble~ The bad apple is still there, so be careful. Professional ethics still matter.
The supervisor is easy to communicate with and efficient
The boss is somewhat stern
No overtime
Flexible working hours
Good office environment, and the colleagues are nice too
A little far from the MRT

Colleagues
I can only say it's really bad ♡
1. Although the job requirements are strict, the atmosphere is good
2. Achieving the goals is more rewarding than I imagined
3. I never thought I could handle this kind of work that involves grappling with numbers, but I actually accomplished it step by step XD
4. The supervisor is very responsible and a bit stern, but the system is people-oriented
5. Take a gamble for the money—and actually get paid
I think it really depends on one’s personality. Optimists who take things in stride will survive, while pessimists will probably find it very painful.

Flee at the speed of light; once I’ve escaped this place, I’ll add more details scarier than ghosts 👻
Colleagues at the company don't scheme against each other, the atmosphere at work is pleasant, and the environment is also very comfortable. The supervisor is easy to communicate with 👍
It's a bit far from the MRT station, about a 15-minute walk.
I applied for the graphic designer position. The company's work environment is relatively quiet, and the manager is easy to communicate with. They give you plenty of room to develop your ideas while also providing direction. Working hours are fairly flexible, and the friendliness of the colleagues is a big plus. I was worried after seeing many negative reviews, but it looks like they were all from two or three years ago, so perhaps there has been a major staff turnover??? Overall, the company is quite good, and we are occasionally treated to afternoon tea.
Occasionally, they assign work that has to be completed suddenly, so it can feel quite rushed and stressful at the time. Once you get used to it, though, it feels okay.
Punctual working hours, with almost no overtime. Sometimes, even when I leave 20 minutes late, everyone else has already gone home. I really like the work culture. My colleagues are all very nice. The work content can change relatively often, so adaptability is important, but that also makes it quite interesting. You can learn a lot and develop your problem-solving skills. There are many good food options nearby, and it’s very convenient to order delivery with colleagues.
Occasionally, it can be difficult to find a parking space.
The flexible working hours for commuting are genuinely great. Occasionally, if I oversleep, I can still take my time riding in, so the psychological pressure is much lower and I won’t have money deducted.
The people are quite down-to-earth, and my colleagues are generally easy to get along with. The standards for cleanliness are fairly high, but everyone helps one another, so the atmosphere is pretty good. Also, since the office is very new, the environment is great. As for whether there are vendors, I’m not sure—I just know someone regularly comes to replace the plants.
What I like most is that there’s no culture of working overtime. Unlike at my previous company, where you had to worry about how people would react if you left on time, I really like my current supervisor. They’re a very capable person.
The company has been around for quite a long time, but I’m in a department focused on a new business area, so the systems aren’t already established and are adjusted as we go. Almost every day, things are exploding from the moment I start work until the end of the day—there’s really a lot to do. My supervisor cares a lot about efficiency and often forgets that people handling the same task need to be careful, but the upside is that every day goes by very quickly.
Flexible 30-minute work schedule
I had a dream that I worked for a company where parking was extremely difficult. The two bosses were brothers, and everyone in their family worked there too—it looked like a family business.
The work plans changed on a whim, and they wanted to save money on everything. The air conditioning had been under repair for several months and still could not be fixed, so much so that I woke up drenched in sweat, with the entire bed soaked.
There was no overtime pay, and the year-end bonus formula was pitifully stingy. Anyone who could stand working there after receiving that amount of money must have done something good in a past life.
The HR department's competence is beyond comment. They could even miscalculate the most basic number of annual leave days, leaving employees to keep track of them and demand them on their own.
When I realized I had slept for too long and wanted to get up, I submitted my resignation. Since I still had unused annual leave, I wanted to take all of it before my last day. HR said the company could not let me take leave that way and had the right to call me in to work. They also said that if I worked until the middle of the month, my unused leave would be converted into cash. I was afraid they would keep making me work until I never woke up again, so I compromised and signed the paperwork. That afternoon, I said I still hoped to work until the end of the month, but I was refused again. Knowing nothing about the Labor Standards Act, I could only go look it up and ask about it. She then blew up.
I was so frightened that I quickly woke up. It had all been a nightmare—and then there was nothing more to it.
None at all
A very problematic company that simply does not treat its employees like human beings. The pay is below market rate, and they dump as much work on you as possible. They make you handle whatever comes to mind, without caring that you already have more than enough work on your plate.
They are always understaffed. Whenever someone joins, they gradually exploit them until the workload and compensation become disproportionate, causing them to leave. Then they continue looking for people, creating an endless vicious cycle.
None
1. No rules or systems; policies change from day to day.
2. You’re paid the basic minimum wage but expected to do the work of two or even three people.
3. The boss is selfish, has a bad temper, is emotional, and is difficult to communicate with.
4. Even administrative positions require you to make sales calls.
5. They seem to think this is a company from the era of imperial rule.
6. The pay is truly pitifully low, and the performance bonuses are pitifully small as well.
7. They constantly think of new things for you to do, but never follow anything through.
8. If you join this company, you really need a side job; otherwise, you can’t save any money at all.
9. A company with no redeeming qualities.
Can't think of any.
They don't respect the professionalism of the work, and there is a shortage of staff. They'll also dump tasks on you that weren't mentioned during the interview. Then the workload keeps increasing until they drive people away, leaving them understaffed again—a vicious cycle that repeats.
One person can dump the workload of two people on you. The management is seriously problematic.
None
1. The salary is only the minimum wage
2. The female supervisor has a very bad temper
3. Everyone has to recruit students by making phone calls or going to schools to hand out flyers, asking for personal information
4. Selling a sense of fear to parents
You can practice English with foreigners.
1. The boss has an incredibly bad temper.
2. The boss does whatever they want.
3. Peanuts for the lions (the pay is terrible).
4. The management is seriously problematic. The assignments communicated from the top and the instructions passed down are completely inconsistent.
5. They have absolutely no respect for professional expertise. Even if your job isn’t marketing or recruitment, they still make you find people to boost performance.
6. In my opinion, the problem lies entirely with the boss. The people below have no opportunity or authority to make decisions or offer suggestions.
How could a lousy company like this have any pros?
They get upset when you leave work on time.
They also dump tasks they think you can do on you, and when it comes to professional work they don't understand, all they know how to do is keep pressuring you and constantly monitoring the progress.
They force you to work overtime and act as if it's perfectly normal, without paying overtime.
There is no mid-level manager to coordinate things. The boss's wife does whatever comes to mind. The boss says to do A, while the boss's wife says to do B—so whose instructions are you supposed to follow?
The foreigners are quite good-looking.
Guinness English, Shielong Mathematics, and Citibank English are all affiliated companies.
The family business run by the “Brothers Party” has inconsistent management policies.
Don’t even mention the salary—they just want to pay peanuts and get monkeys.
The cram-school industry in southern Taiwan cannot offer very good salaries or benefits.
Can't think of any
Small company
Arrogant attitude
Low pay
Traditional industry mindset
The boss likes changing things constantly and won’t listen to others’ opinions.
