The number of executives is almost the same as the number of frontline staff. Half the people watch over the other half, who work themselves to the bone. They also hold a bunch of meetings, produce a bunch of reports, and conduct a bunch of reviews.
Basically none. You generally leave work on time (administrative staff: overtime is neither paid nor compensated with time off, and we are even forced to sign an agreement stating that we voluntarily waive it).
I do not know the other commenters, yet my experience was genuinely the same (especially regarding a certain senior employee). This person applies double standards, says one thing and does another, is very good at putting on a facade, and is even better at shirking their responsibilities onto colleagues. They are extremely skilled at shifting blame for their own mistakes onto others, misattributing things and pinning labels and accusations on people. From time to time, they also take advantage of the company. Having someone like this in the company only drives out good employees with inferior ones, harming both the company and its staff.
Can't think of any
1. Employees are required to multitask, but in reality they are exploited, with one person doing the work of several.
2. Communication is only top-down. Employees are often asked to weather difficult times together, but in reality many employee benefits are cut to save money.
3. The company is run like a family business, with no vision and only short-term interests in mind. Employees are given no authority to do their work, yet responsibility is pushed onto frontline staff.
4. There are many—and particularly egregious—bad apples. The most senior ones cause the greatest harm; they are ruthless, sinister, and clever, sparing no effort to hurt others.
5. There are many land-related problems, and almost all the factory buildings are illegal structures. The equipment is outdated and the technology is backward.
The salary and benefits are acceptable.
1. A senior employee with over 30 years at the company leads disruptive behavior (framing others, distorting right and wrong, lining their own pockets, shifting blame and evading responsibility, and violating laws and regulations).
2. The work environment can harm employees’ health and, in severe cases, cause cancer.
3. Senior management’s operating policies lack long-term planning (both the plant facilities and the land violate current regulations).
4. Many of the company’s required SOPs are merely formalities, often resulting in work being done for nothing.
5. Responsibilities and authority are often unclear between departments and among personnel.
6. It is unfortunate that a company with technology and talent has been brought to the brink of collapse by a certain senior employee.
None
1. It is a family-owned company and has all the shortcomings that family-owned companies entail, including a lack of a good corporate culture.
2. It is a company with clock-in requirements for starting work but a responsibility-based system for finishing work; this applies to everyone.
3. Factional conflict is severe. Like Japanese companies, it is extremely keen on creating factional divisions and forcing employees to choose sides.
4. Training is not thorough and often becomes merely a formality.
5. Compared with other companies in the same 3K industry, it is top-tier in terms of pollution and noise.
