Read the community guidelines1. Colleagues are nice
2. Full-time employees are provided with laptops
1. The office environment is extremely poor
As mentioned above, the main office is in the basement, and the basement’s only window faces the entrance to the underground parking lot, so it is basically never opened. Although the air conditioning is on all day, people who are even slightly unwell may still feel short of oxygen if they stay in that environment for a long time ==
2. The direct supervisor for the marketing position is the boss
This is a matter of personal opinion, but the boss’s expertise is not marketing, yet they insist on directing the marketing work. Then they just send you some reference links and tell you to figure it out yourself :) Anyway, the marketing ideas they share are all very insubstantial—they simply repeat the contents of the books they have read to you verbatim. All surface, no substance.
3. I am a full-time employee, but I do not have my own seat
Personally, I feel that I do not have my own space.
4. To add to the environmental issues, even the first floor feels very oppressive
The ceiling is low, and there are still no windows facing outside.
1. The colleagues are nice and easy to communicate with.
2. Located in the Minsheng Community, with a quiet surrounding environment suitable for retirement.
3. The company provides shared computers for full-time employees to use.
4. Snacks you finish eating will not make you gain weight.
5. Occasional group meals, spring banquet, and birthday celebrations.
1. Each department in the company has at most[two full-time employees]. During peak seasons, full-time employees are asked to hire part-time student workers, while during slow seasons, they are told that the student workers must be cut(for workforce streamlining and headcount reviews), so the work is never finished. This is because a new batch of part-time student workers always has to be retrained during the busiest periods.(I have raised this with the boss personally. The boss said: “Work is inherently never-ending; this is normal.”)
2. The office is located in the basement!(However, only the first floor was photographed on 104.)The open-plan space has very poor sound insulation, and whenever customer service staff speak, it significantly affects the other employees working in the office.(I also raised this with the boss, who gave employees noise-canceling headphones that make their ears turn red and hurt after wearing them for more than ten minutes.)Moreover, staying in the basement for too long can make you feel somewhat dizzy and lightheaded, so anyone considering working here should think twice.
3. The boss keeps changing company policies. One might put it positively as retaining flexibility, but in reality, it is about seeking the highest returns at the lowest cost(typical behavior of a stereotypical exploitative Taiwanese boss). Many things are described in grandiose terms(such as plans to automate the system, while no one teaches employees how to operate the CRM and they are expected to figure it out themselves). In practice, the boss is not very clear about how things should be done either, and will say that this is the reason employees were hired and ask them to propose solutions……
4. The pay is low and there is a lot of work. For a salary in the thirty-thousand-plus range, you are responsible for the workload across all of Taiwan, shift inquiries, and advertising placements throughout Taiwan.(It could be a good stepping stone, but if you want to develop your career here long term, think twice.)Even though the company is making money, it gives employees a very unpleasant feeling that everything has to be done cheaply, and they keep demanding unrealistic performance targets……
