Read the community guidelinesThe work environment is fairly comfortable. Although it’s in a factory-office setting, it is separated from the warehouse.
The main job is filming product marketing videos. The company primarily sells clothes, followed by some China-made 3C products.
There is a studio, but the cameras used for filming are quite ordinary. For some situational marketing videos, I also had to find the locations myself. Otherwise, I had to ask company employees to act in them.
The most speechless part was that the boss may simply dislike you and fire you after two months. It happened very suddenly, without any notice. It was completely baffling: “I feel that the style of the videos you make doesn’t really fit the feel of our company, so you can work until this afternoon.” He only sent this to me in a private message. It was truly damn sudden and bizarre. The funny thing was that I was still rushing to finish a video for the company, and I instantly stopped working after that. It felt very insulting because, despite making so many videos before, they never told me what needed to be improved or adjusted. They approved every video for publication themselves, and my coworkers also felt that I hadn’t done a bad job. So what exactly was the problem? I didn’t particularly want to ask at the time. After all, they had fired me using such a far-fetched excuse, so I figured he probably just disliked me.
The junior supervisor in the audiovisual department was also completely confused when I was fired. He also felt that firing me directly without informing him was extremely disrespectful.
In short, that afternoon I immediately packed up my things and left. I also added some coworkers on Instagram and made friends with them, haha!
Then, after I was fired, a bunch of people also resigned. It looks like this company really is a disaster.
None
1. Being dismissed was very sudden, which seems to be the norm.
2. The salary does not match the recruitment website (the salary is relatively low).
The job allows you to avoid talking to people—or rather, you’re not allowed to talk. You can spend the entire day without saying a word, like a mute, saving saliva.
Warehouse management work requires you to be ready to perform immediately.
1. The supervisor responsible for training people is extremely impatient. If you haven’t gotten the hang of things within a week, you’ll be dismissed.
2. Even if you stay, it’s currently peak season, so you’ll be made to work excessive overtime every day, although overtime pay is provided.
3. Your company’s work is not limited to HITO; products from Taobao in mainland China, Wufenpu, and claw-machine prizes are also within the scope of the job.
4. Whenever you make a mistake, someone who is like a supervisor but isn’t one will constantly mock and lecture you, repeatedly asking why you made the mistake, and may even whisper complaints to the supervisor.
5. There is no air conditioning in your company’s warehouse area.
6. Your company places great emphasis on packaging efficiency. Because the work cannot be completed otherwise, the packing area has systems such as timed packing and timed order picking. If you are not within the required time range, you will be told that you are too slow. If this continues, you may..... [original wording appears incomplete]
This is not meant to deliberately smear the company. If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourself.
If there were an option worse than “very poor,” I would definitely choose “absolutely terrible”—humiliating you until you have no dignity. Terrible.
