1. The company does pay overtime, but not accurately. Only work from 19:30 to 22:00 can be counted as overtime (the end of the workday is 18:00), and you have to work past 20:00 for it to count. Any work after 22:00 is swallowed by the employee; the boss says that because the working hours have exceeded the statutory limit, it cannot be counted as overtime.

2. The boss tells us that she is a rare good boss and that we will have a hard time finding another boss as good as her in the future.

1. The company did not properly enroll employees in labor and health insurance. Later, because the company applied for government subsidies, the boss worried that employee reports might cause the company not to receive the subsidies, so the company made back payments, but required employees not to talk about it.

2. The company has not cultivated relationships with the media (ironically), is unfamiliar with media PR operations, and even outsources media work to another PR company.

3. The boss’s marketing concepts are very outdated, roughly at the level of the era of Taiwan’s “Three Television Stations and Three Major Newspapers.” She often brings out news articles or marketing cases from more than 10 years ago for colleagues to use as references.

4. There are fewer clients every year. The company does not really seem to build its reputation through a track record; it seems more like the boss brings in clients through her connections. It feels as though personal relationships and socializing are considered more important here than marketing expertise.

5. During work, you also have to handle the boss’s personal affairs. For example, when her daughter (a student) wins an award, you have to help issue a press release for her. The boss’s family members may even call to question why the media results are poor or similar things. The boss is the chair of the school’s parent association, so you have to help with school-related tasks, such as making PowerPoint presentations, designing certificates, and planning school events. These are all favors for the boss at the school. The company does not make money from them, and no matter how busy you are with your own projects, you will still be relentlessly pressured to finish these tasks.

6. Employee turnover is extremely high—roughly one complete staff turnover every six months.

7. The company has had a Mickey Mouse problem for many years, and there are a huge number of cockroaches. No one deals with them, and apparently the company has never hired cleaners to clean the office in all these years.

8. Gender discrimination. When selecting entertainers for an internal event, one male entertainer was suspected of being gay. The boss angrily shouted, “Why did you choose someone with such a negative image? And he’s a fucking GAY.” (Sorry, but this person actually has a positive image and has repeatedly received industry recognition, okay?)

9. The company computers are extremely slow, but the boss’s family says they are still usable (why is it the family who gets to decide? So strange). The company is not allowed to spend money on updating the equipment...

I really can’t think of any. The only possible advantages might be that the salary is paid on time and overtime is compensated.

Ah, I thought of one: after leaving, you’ll feel that life is truly wonderful and learn to appreciate all the bosses and colleagues you’ve encountered before.

In that sense, this is genuinely the greatest advantage—five-star praise.

The boss has no understanding of marketing and will never want to listen to professional opinions.

Communicating with him is a bit like arguing with an elder; the moment we disagree, he pulls out the ultimate emotional-blackmail move, hehe.

Having employees run personal errands and firing people arbitrarily are already standard practice and hardly worth mentioning.

If you want to experience how, in the world of exploitative bosses, there is always someone even worse, then I absolutely give this a five-star recommendation.

Oh right, I even dreamed last time that an employee had been working there for three months but still hadn’t been enrolled in labor and health insurance.

It was just a dream, really.

The boss is fairly nice and quite willing to give people opportunities (though, in hindsight, it may have been because they were understaffed and urgently looking for someone to fill in).

There are occasional employee dinners, and the food is pretty good.

You get compensatory leave for overtime. The boss doesn’t stop you from taking time off, and there’s really nothing to complain about when it comes to requesting leave.

1. The boss isn’t particularly knowledgeable about marketing. It feels like some business relationships are being sustained through personal connections.

2. For overtime, they’ll only pay you for eight hours of overtime per month... So for the rest, either take compensatory leave or just accept it quietly as a freebie for the company (the company’s administrative staff also said the boss can modify your clock-in and clock-out records... I’ve never had mine changed, so I wouldn’t know).

3. An insane amount of overtime (though that’s how this industry is).

4. If you’re full of passion and ideals and have innovative ideas you want to bring to life, it may be difficult to fully utilize your potential. Senior colleagues said that, to save on the process of pitching proposals to clients, the boss sometimes makes minor adjustments to last year’s events and reuses them this year (I did indeed hear journalists complain that it was almost the same as last year).

5. The media journalist list is never updated.... Someone may have already moved to Company B, but you’re still addressing them using their title at Company A. It’s unbearably awkward.

The company supervisor’s expectations are reasonable, the business is stable, and relations with colleagues are pretty good. (2010; stayed for one month.)

This probably shouldn’t be considered a shortcoming of this company; rather, Taiwan PR companies all make people work overtime like crazy.
