All colleagues are very easy to get along with. The self-skills you can develop after joining the company include:

1. Patience (dealing with someone’s endless and possibly unreasonable demands, as well as frequently having to respond to messages after work because you cannot truly have a day off)

2. Endurance (there are often activities on holidays. They strictly follow the law and take the Labor Standards Act into consideration, so overtime is not allowed; just treat it as volunteering and go to the site to provide support out of compassion)

3. Adaptability (the employee turnover rate is extremely high, so you must always be prepared to take over other people’s cases)

1. Those in higher positions only talk idly and paint grand visions, while continually taking on projects that consume manpower.

(They are neither sufficiently professional nor specialized, so there are often long periods of overtime, and the overtime hours are frequently calculated unclearly.)

2. You need to be constantly affected by one person’s intense emotions.

(What they say changes three times a day, with no central direction or main theme at all. You also have to bear the impact of their emotions and can only endure being scolded.)

3. Deliberately setting employees against one another.

(At different times, they call employees from the same team in individually: telling A that they will promote them and B that they will give them a raise, in the hope of intensifying competition between them. In reality, this causes discord among employees.)

4. No matter what happens, it is always the employees’ fault.

5. A small company that wants to have systems like a large company.

(There are always various rules, both big and small, which are then revised and changed every day. It is unclear what basis to follow, and there are also many pointless meetings that waste a great deal of time.)

1. Friendly colleagues; there is not much workplace infighting

2. Occasional group meals and outdoor activities

3. Perfect-attendance and transportation allowances

4. Free snacks are provided for events such as Ghost Festival offerings or worship ceremonies

5. The boss and team are open to innovative, nontraditional proposals and ideas

6. In some respects, the boss is thoughtful and logical, can offer suggestions from different perspectives, and has a relatively strong sense of aesthetics

7. Complies with the Labor Standards Act and provides what is required; the application procedures are just relatively complicated

1. Extremely high turnover; nearly the entire staff is replaced every year

- There are no SOPs for training new employees, interns, part-time workers, and others. People are sent directly into the field without understanding the situation, and asking questions does not necessarily yield answers; first, you may not know whom to ask or be unable to find anyone, and second, the person being asked often has no idea either

- When positions cannot be fully staffed, employees are asked to support unfilled roles, which gradually becomes their responsibility. Even after providing support for several months, there is no substantive additional compensation, while they still have to bear criticism and reprimands beyond their responsibilities. Naturally, almost everyone has to take on approximately twice the workload

- The company is divided into two major areas: contract bidding and self-operated business. The self-operated business is further divided into many small brands and physical stores. When store staff cannot be recruited, full-time employees are asked to take care of the stores while also handling their original work, with absolutely no additional pay

2. The rules and processes are a complete mess, and even when they are established, they are not necessarily used properly

- For a company that has been operating for ten years, it is highly questionable organizationally that employees who have been with the company for less than a year are asked to help develop SOPs

- The rules governing the timing, content, and format of meetings and other matters are frequently changed, leaving employees unclear about the direction. Faced with rules that change at the drop of a hat, employees are given virtually no adjustment period. Simply put, the boss is the rulebook

- The boss expects a large amount of output, but there are no clear processes or division of responsibilities. Activity plans that should have been reviewed and finalized months earlier are often dragged out until the last moment, when they are barely carried out, or the project direction and content are changed at the last minute. Often, only one person plans an entire event; if the results merely pass, that is cause for celebration. Yet the corporate culture here only points out what employees did poorly

.

“It's not a lack of manpower; it's a lack of ability.” Keep this classic quote in mind

.

3. Unclear responsibilities and authority

- The systems for delegation and division of labor are extremely unclear. Everything, big or small, must go through the boss, while supervisors essentially have no decision-making authority. The boss's standards also change according to their personal mood or ideas, so everyone can only go along with it to avoid being reprimanded

- The boss has a heavy workload but does not properly delegate responsibilities and authority to supervisors. Wanting to oversee every matter in the company, big or small, the boss also often gives inconsistent instructions. As a result, supervisors are frequently out of the loop or afraid to make decisions, leading to extremely poor team efficiency

.

.

.

4. Last-minute tasks

- The boss issues last-minute tasks whenever an idea occurs to them, and they must always be carried out immediately!!!! (asterisked)

Basically, there is no concern for employees' existing workloads or whether immediate execution is appropriate; the demand simply has to be met at once

For example: when staff are insufficient, designers are sent to paint, project planners are sent to provide on-site service, and marketing staff are sent to conduct inventory counts. The bizarre situations here are endless

.

.

.

5. Administrative and financial loopholes

- Before administrative and finance staff were hired, colleagues had to take on all of the company's administrative and financial work, resulting in poor operational smoothness and efficiency

- Because the administrative and finance staff cannot handle the workload and the internal processes are complicated, external vendors end up chasing payments or employees have to pay out of pocket first. Repeated feedback from employees has not led to significant improvement; they may even be jointly blamed and verbally abused. It is utterly baffling!

*Additional note: You will get the money, but it is uncertain how long it will take; it depends on the efficiency of the colleague responsible that month. Basically, they will not refuse to pay*

.

.

.

6. Environmental hygiene is a concern

- Cleaning staff are occasionally hired to clean the office, but this is only broad, superficial cleaning. Basically, the place is still extremely dirty; whoever cannot stand it goes and cleans

- I once could not stand it and helped organize an old snack cabinet that had been accumulating for a long time. Everything was two or three years past its expiration date, mixed with a pile of cockroach carcasses

- There are often unwashed dishes, chopsticks, and cups left in the sink, and food in the refrigerator is often left until it becomes watery

- The company promotes environmental protection but is really not very environmentally friendly

(No one can be completely environmentally friendly, but as a company that advocates caring for the environment, it should still pay attention to basic practices)

.

.

Finally, the good and bad aspects of a company are quite subjective, so I will not make further judgments.

However, some problems are obvious and genuinely happening, and they continue in a vicious cycle.

You (the boss) once said in a meeting, “The problem I want to solve right now is that the employees don't seem very happy.”

Regardless of whether it was said jokingly, I hope you will truly listen to the employees' voices, build trust within the team, accept that problems occur, and humbly work to improve them rather than criticize. That way, talent will not continue to leave, and those who stay can have a better workplace. Wishing you success!

All of my colleagues are incredibly kind.

There are so many things that I don't even know where to begin...

1. Lots of business, too few people

The boss is extremely enthusiastic about winning bids and expanding the business. However, they never consider how many additional people are needed to support the expansion, what kind of talent to look for, or how to allocate manpower. As a result, everyone has more work than they can finish every day, and the following situations have become routine at the company:

Employees work overtime almost every day.

.

Things that should have been planned and started six months or even a year earlier are often not finished until just a few hours before the deadline. Sometimes they are delayed constantly, leaving the progress far behind schedule.

.

Employees cannot handle the workload. When a project eventually falls apart, the boss starts robbing Peter to pay Paul. As a result, things that should have nothing to do with one's job duties somehow land on one's shoulders.

.

Over time, the excessive and exhausting working hours cause employees to get sick every few days.

What's frightening is that the boss not only does not consider this a problem, but also thinks it is normal for employees not to be able to finish their work. Just as the boss works all year round, employees are expected to pour their blood, sweat, and heart into their jobs—that is supposedly what constitutes a good work attitude.

2. Likes hiring newcomers, but doesn't train them

The company often hires recent graduates. But after hiring them, it does not develop or train them, because the supervisors are too busy to pay attention to anyone. The boss only tells employees to proactively ask senior colleagues how to do things. However, newcomers have limited experience, and even when they ask questions, they may not be able to articulate them clearly or get to the heart of the matter. In the end, they are essentially left to fend for themselves, somehow produce work that does not meet the boss's expectations, and then get scolded.

3. The boss is really something

The boss often suddenly assigns employees temporary tasks and demands that they be completed within a short time. But these assignments are often abandoned shortly after work begins, rendering all the effort pointless.

The boss often works without a plan and changes directions on a whim. Even the date and agenda of the company's monthly meeting can be announced suddenly only a few days beforehand. At the same time, the boss particularly enjoys sending threatening messages during employees' vacations and late at night, forcing them to handle work matters during their time off.

4. An administrative and accounting black hole

The company is so understaffed that there are not enough people handling administration and accounting. Combined with the cumbersome reimbursement system and the great distance between the offices of different departments, it is routine for the accountant to forget to process payments, lose employees' reimbursement documents, or fail to pay on time. Employees often have to bear the brunt of suppliers' anger and demands.

Although the company runs retail stores, its petty-cash system is extremely chaotic. Employees are constantly required to pay out of pocket. After submitting their expense reports, they have no idea when they will receive reimbursement, because the administrative and accounting staff process documents very slowly and are difficult to reach. They never reply to text messages; you can only communicate with them by phone or in person.

5. Besides that...

The boss has poor hygiene habits and often leaves the environment dirty and untidy. The boss's car is also constantly parked illegally on the roadside.

Finally, anyone hoping to accumulate experience, learn skills, or work at their own pace should absolutely stay away. This is not a place to remain for long.

There are no advantages besides the colleagues being great.

I have to say, if you want to hone your patience, you can come here,

but conversely, what it will consume is your time and mental and physical well-being.

Leaders who only know how to make empty promises

demand that employees meet their standards,

yet cannot even fully safeguard employees' most basic rights.

Salaries are opaque, and the overtime and reimbursement processes are complicated.

After nearly 10 years in business, the company still cannot establish a workplace culture,

and even turns around and berates employees for lacking team spirit :）

There is never a day when the work is completely finished.

Even matters outside your own responsibilities will land in your hands.

You will be scolded whether you do something poorly or fail to finish it,

while your self-esteem is constantly undermined,

yet they do not realize that all the problems stem from themselves.

All I can say is that this is not a place suitable for staying long-term.

Good luck, everyone, and I wish you all the best.

The colleagues are very nice

They make grand promises

The boss wants people who obey, not people who solve problems

I was inexplicably targeted, but the boss didn’t think there was anything wrong with themselves

Leave as soon as possible. Interviewing and preparing résumés really wastes people’s energy and time

The colleagues are very nice.

The turnover rate is extremely high, and the pressure is immense. You need to be extremely meticulous; otherwise, you can easily get reprimanded and will also have to keep writing self-criticism reports.

There is a significant gap between the actual job responsibilities and those described during the interview. Because they cannot recruit enough people, the work can only be assigned to other employees in the company, and they are unwilling to hire graduates. People who have their own work procedures and habits should assess this carefully, as the company is not receptive to changes. They say they can accept changes, but in the end they still question why things were changed, and you get scolded again.

The boss must be consulted about everything. Supervisors cannot make any decisions, even when it comes to very minor matters.

The colleagues are all very nice, and overtime can be claimed according to the actual hours worked.

The supervisor is basically a figurehead, and everything has to go through the boss. The important thing is that the boss often changes their instructions from one moment to the next, and in a way that contradicts their own previous statements. They often forget what they themselves have said and then scold employees.

The company claims to provide environmental education, but the least environmentally friendly person is actually the boss. They frequently leave their rubbish on the table after eating and make employees clean it up. This applies to both boxed meals and drinks. The work environment is often dirty and messy, and employees are expected to help clean and tidy up.

During interviews, they say overtime is not required, but in reality every employee works overtime every day. Even during holidays, the boss will constantly chase employees for work, meaning that official matters have to be handled at home or after work. The boss often demands that employees reply to messages immediately, but frequently does not reply to messages themselves, or says they are too tired and will discuss it another day, leaving matters stuck and unable to proceed.

Work is often assigned at the last minute, making overtime necessary to complete it. Working an entire night of overtime when closing out a project is the norm. If you do not work overtime, the boss will even think there is a problem with your work attitude.

The entire work environment is extremely unfriendly and will completely wear down your passion for the job. Because of the frequent overtime, colleagues also start getting sick and taking sick leave regularly.

By the way, there are no traditional holiday bonuses (in fact, there are no bonuses at all). They said these would be changed to a mid-year bonus, but then it was also withheld at the last minute.

The employees are all easy to get along with and highly capable. The company is not stingy when it comes to benefits, and salaries are still within the industry average.

The company's employee turnover is extremely high, and there is no good handover system. The boss often makes inexplicable urgent requests and refuses to listen to suggestions, which is very draining for employees. Overtime is extremely frequent!

During the interview, I recommend asking clearly why this position became available and whether there are experienced employees to provide guidance.

Do not underestimate the severity of the shortcomings mentioned above. Despite the company having so many advantages, it still cannot retain talent, so you can imagine what the shortcomings must be like.

An extremely inconsiderate company that wastes job applicants’ time!

Before the interview, they first require you to create a piece of work (an event visual poster), and only invite you to an interview if the work passes their review.

I completed the work and was invited to an interview, but on the day of the interview, they told me that because I had no relevant work experience, I did not meet their hiring requirements.

If they wanted someone with relevant experience, why did they write “Applicants without experience are also welcome to apply”?

If they wanted someone with relevant experience and knew that I had none, why did they still ask me to create a sample work and then invite me to an interview?

Do they think creating a piece of work doesn’t take time or brainpower?

Do they think attending an interview doesn’t take time or transportation costs?
