Read the community guidelinesIt probably won't go under unexpectedly.
You won't be paid for overtime. Being one minute late results in a $100 deduction.
Your supervisor will tell you that you must not look directly at the general manager; whenever you pass the general manager, you must keep your head down.
It's basically a little imperial palace in there.
Suitable for people with a strong servile streak.
Older companies are less likely to go under.
Leaving work on time will attract scrutiny. To avoid being singled out, work efficiency becomes extremely poor.
High turnover; upper management is overly picky about people.
Basically, if you see a job posting with the title “XXXXXXX talent,” it’s just trying to collect your personal information. Except during the more severe periods of the pandemic, I’ve been seeing this position advertised since I started looking for work 4–5 years ago, and the same position is still being advertised after 4–5 years.
Is there really a labor shortage, is the turnover rate high, or are they continually profiting from collecting personal information? Or is it both?
Stable salary, annual raises, no layoffs
There are many problems with the management hierarchy, and work efficiency is poor. Leaving on time too often may attract scrutiny; even when there is nothing to do, employees are expected to work overtime. Some departments often do not pay overtime. The work atmosphere is poor, overtime is common, staffing is insufficient, turnover is high, and there is a significant age gap.
The company is very large and wealthy, so it probably won't go under easily.
No wonder it's a company with over 60 years of history.
They publish the founder's quotes in book form as training materials, and employees even have to memorize two versions of the “five work steps”: one from the founder and one from the current general manager.
It seems that supervisors' job duties include inspecting employees' clothing. Even though this is an office-based department, for some reason men are required to wear suits and ties, while women are judged according to the supervisor's aesthetic standards. They say women may only wear suit trousers, but after you wear suit trousers, they say the length must cover the ankles. Supposedly this is “to give people a professional and dignified image,” but is the supervisor herself any more professional wearing a denim skirt?
The culture of entertaining is extremely serious. If you say you won't attend company events or group dinners, you'll be questioned about it until you agree to attend. At every group dinner, you'll inevitably be urged (pressured) to drink.
If you leave work on time too often, your supervisor will check in on you. There is an unspoken clock-out time that everyone is expected to follow.
When you resign, you'll be bombarded with all kinds of questions, and then people who leave are called ungrateful XD
The supervisors are very proud that they've stayed at this company since graduating and have never changed jobs. They have never seen the world outside.
The nearly two-hour intelligence test during the interview made me wonder whether this company specifically recruits people with high IQs just to lower their IQs after they join?
