Read the community guidelinesAlthough the workload has been heavy over the past few months, I’ve been able to adapt fairly well. At least this company handles labor and health insurance and overtime pay properly.
The air conditioning is too cold.
You can work from home on Fridays, away from the toxic and depressing workplace.
The company only knows that employees still need to have their work reviewed by the planner after “more than three months,” and one-sidedly listens only to the planner’s account, without knowing that her subordinates have to wait an extremely long time for their work to be reviewed, are often inexplicably asked to revise their submissions (sometimes being told that the submission is garbage, with reasons that are highly subjective), and are sometimes told that because reviewing it so many times has wasted too much of her time, she will directly revise it for me (but I cannot tell what difference the planner’s version makes). Working here feels like constantly guessing what the planner likes and dislikes. The revisions are often just because a few words are different. I really do not know what her “standards” are. Asking her how to do things does not result in any useful suggestions; she only tells subordinates to read more articles online. Every day, the planner’s rejected submissions caused me to work excessive overtime. I often did not get home until 11 p.m. The stress became so severe that I experienced menstrual irregularities, waking up in the middle of the night, anxiety disorder, and panic attacks. In the end, I was laid off. All I can say is that I felt absolutely no sense of accomplishment here. Only after changing jobs did I learn what a company that respects people and a work environment where you can feel a sense of accomplishment are really like. Thank you to this company for the valuable life lesson!
I’m in a copywriter/content editor position and have been here for over a year. Everyone can use my perspective as a reference ^_^
1. You can work with marketing content from all kinds of industries, but you won’t become highly specialized in any of them, so it’s suitable for people without work experience who want to explore their career interests.
2. The company uses the 104 system to clock in and submit leave requests, which is quite convenient, and the system is also pretty user-friendly.
3. Basically, once you get the hang of the job, you don’t need to work much overtime. We also don’t need to interact directly with clients, so the pressure isn’t that great.
Basically, those are the only advantages.
These are the disadvantages I started listing one by one from the beginning of my employment; every word comes from the heart.
1. This is a company primarily focused on online marketing, yet the internet frequently disconnects? Employees even have to use their own internet connection to work.
2. The computer equipment is as terrible as it can possibly be—so bad that opening a word-processing program takes a full minute. You can imagine how much patience the work requires.
3. The 104 listing says the promotion system is well established? To be honest, I’ve only received one pay raise since joining the company, and that was after my probationary period. After that, the company never mentioned raises or promotions to me. As for promotions, you have to wait until a planner resigns and a vacancy opens up before you might be “promoted” to planner and receive a tiny pay increase—but your workload and responsibilities will double.
4. I have personally witnessed the boss venting his emotions inappropriately; the boss’s wife also loves targeting people over everything.
5. Neither of the owner couple has a background in marketing. Unless there is currently a very capable marketing manager, what you can learn about marketing techniques will probably be things that were used 10 years ago.
6. The way bonuses are paid can change at any moment. Originally, the previous month’s bonus was paid every month, but suddenly it was changed so that bonuses for several intervening months would be paid only at the three major festivals, without any discussion with employees. The performance scores we fill out each month are also completely opaque—they won’t tell you whether you passed your KPI, so whether you receive a bonus is entirely up to the company. Therefore, when I resigned, the two months of bonuses I should have received somehow turned into nothing because I left before the three festivals. They even claimed that I hadn’t passed my performance assessment?
7. Even if you try to communicate with the boss’s wife using common sense, it’s useless, because she simply doesn’t understand and has no intention of listening.
8. The customer comes first; the fundamental principle is that we must fulfill every customer request. Even though my position didn’t involve facing clients or traveling for work, if a client needed something, I had to go. If I didn’t, I would be called in for a talk for supposedly not being cooperative enough.
9. The workload is already quite heavy, yet we are often asked to do a bunch of pointless tasks that waste working time—for example, explaining to the boss’s wife in exhaustive detail what we do every day and what we plan to do every day for the next month. But she doesn’t actually read it; she just wants the document to exist, while you have to spend a great deal of time preparing it simply to satisfy that demand.
Please think carefully before joining. The boss believes that whatever he says goes. It’s genuinely uncomfortable working at a company whose policies keep changing from one day to the next.
The work atmosphere is very good, and the company’s marketing education and training are fairly comprehensive. You can gain exposure to marketing across different industries.
It’s really exhausting when you first join, but if you’re passionate about this industry, you should definitely consider joining.
I didn’t actually work there, so I’m not sure about the internal situation, but at least I had a good impression during the interview. There was a written test first, but it wasn’t difficult. After that, I interviewed with the department manager. The manager was very friendly, listened carefully, and then continued asking questions. The conversation flowed very well. The manager also answered my questions very patiently.
There didn’t seem to be anyone specifically responsible for welcoming interviewees. After I went in, several people looked at one another before someone finally escorted me to the meeting room.
Although I had just started working as a copywriter and social media editor, I already had 2 years of work experience, and I felt I could learn a lot. The supervisor was also quite approachable and put a lot of effort into teaching.
Labor insurance, health insurance, and salary information are all transparent.
Even when you're already exhausted, you still have to be the person on duty....
Good relationships within the Marketing Department
Copywriter/editor, salary of 28, heavy workload, old-fashioned manager who often berates employees, year-end bonus of 600, work due on the 31st is required to be completed by the 15th
The colleagues in the marketing department get along quite well. It’s probably because they all suffer together (there’s not much sweetness to balance it out).
If you can accept receiving a year-end bonus of $600 (if you’re not a new hire), you can join us~ The marketing department can get at most one extra zero; I’ve never heard of anyone receiving a full month’s salary. The company’s guiding principle is that the boss is the rule. The current boss is also serving as the acting head of the marketing department, so you can imagine: whatever the boss says goes~ They don’t care whether it provides any real benefit to clients. On top of that, the bonus system can be changed at any time. I feel like one day it might disappear altogether. Seriously, don’t join unless you have to. The turnover is extremely high. There were at least 10 people in the department when I joined, and it has almost been completely reshuffled. If you want good待遇, this really isn’t a good choice~ Please think twice before interviewing or joining! Also, the workload is extremely heavy~~ and the pay isn’t much.
The interviewer was very friendly and young, and the employees were all young.
I applied for the same position as the person above, so the process was basically similar. There was a written test during the interview, so I suggest arriving half an hour early rather than right on time. The written test required hand-writing some simple copy, so those with very messy handwriting or who write slowly should be careful.
Other interviewers told me that everything was legal and that there were also an additional three months of year-end bonuses, etc. However, most of the employees really were women, and it was apparent that they each had their own circles of friends. When I entered, no one seemed willing to greet me; everyone kept passing the responsibility around until someone finally agreed to stand up.
The starting salary was a bit low, at 26K–27K. The company is located in a relatively old building, and the office has an open-plan layout. The salary only increases by one level after being promoted to planner.
You’ll encounter colleagues from a wide range of fields while gaining exposure to many different industries at the same time.
It’s a great fit for people without experience who are eager to see what other industries actually do and get a general idea of what marketing planning work involves.
In short, it’s very suitable for those just starting out and willing to come here to get some practice for half a year!
Here, “planning is the original sin.” If the execution goes well, it’s everyone’s achievement—everyone worked hard. If something goes wrong or the results fall short of expectations, it’s the planner’s responsibility; the planner’s direction was wrong, causing everyone to do work for nothing, so everyone holds a meeting to review and reflect.
During my time working here, I often attended meaningless meetings, and three hours of my life would simply pass by.
There’s no such thing as respecting professional expertise here, and you don’t need to be particularly professional either—as long as you can deliver the execution content on time, that’s enough.
Applying for the planning position was the clearest application process I’ve recently experienced, and it had the most comprehensive labor and health insurance and leave benefits. The manager who conducted the interview said they all use the 104 system.
It seems like the work is pretty demanding. Their office was very noisy during the interview.
The interviewer seemed very friendly.
The visitor’s note is way too small, and its presence is so low that it’s basically impossible to see.

I applied for the social media marketing position.
As soon as I arrived, there was a simple written test requiring me to write a brand BLOG article, as well as a typo-correction exercise.
The interview time was given by phone, but they did not mention the written test, so make sure to take note of that yourself.
There was plenty of time to complete it, and it wasn’t difficult.
The interviewer was not very focused and talked for a long time, but it felt like most of it was just rambling.
In the end, they decided on the salary directly after asking about my expected salary (with a salary adjustment after the probationary period).
They currently have a greater need for copywriters. Three people form a team and divide the work among themselves.
You need to complete the contracted workload for the month. Attendance is automatically clocked in by the system when you turn on the computer.
If necessary, you must make immediate revisions after work hours.
If you don’t want work to disturb you after work, I suggest not applying to this company.
I didn’t particularly like the colleagues or atmosphere at the company.
The age range is relatively young, and the staff are mostly women. The interviewer also said that there might be small cliques.
Although I was fairly satisfied with the leave and salary, I think the working environment and situation with colleagues, as well as the workload and possibility of overtime, all require careful consideration.
For everyone’s reference.
They lure people into sales roles with what appears to be a good bonus system. After a salesperson signs up new clients, the owner's wife then dismisses them in an inappropriate manner, claiming to the clients that the salesperson had problems. There have been more than ten affected salespeople. The turnover rate among employees in other departments is also very high. In this company of twenty to thirty people, more than half are new employees with less than six months of tenure. Please think twice before going to an interview!
