Read the community guidelinesThe vice president conducted the interview. After I introduced myself, they took over with their questions. They also explained the company’s projects and the future direction of the position I applied for (Purchasing Assistant). They are currently looking for someone to handle purchasing for kitchen appliances and will eventually train the person to become a PM. In addition to the base salary, there is an attendance bonus, and bonuses are provided for the three major holidays and at year-end (an average of two months’ salary). I interviewed on Friday and received the job offer on Monday.
Because the role will eventually lead to becoming a PM, business trips will be required. Those who enjoy challenging work may want to consider it.
Haha~ I think I’m quite qualified to say this. After all, I’ve been working here for more than 10 years. Interpersonal relationships are actually quite pleasant. There are inevitably some areas of work that are difficult to clearly define between departments, but I believe that as long as everyone discusses things openly, there shouldn’t be any major problems. Although there are clearly stated standards for salary adjustments, they are still somewhat vague and strict in practice. At least the company’s operations are stable, so employees can work with peace of mind. The bosses are basically all quite good, including the chairman, the two vice presidents, and the assistant general manager—they are all considerate toward employees. Although the general manager is strict and has his own standards, if you can fully earn his trust, working with him is actually not bad either. Employees are not required to work overtime, but for the business and planning departments, the general manager requires everyone to treat their work as if they were running their own company and business. Some people may not agree, but this is the fundamental structure that enables the company to make a profit. Although some systems may not be perfect, at least I think this is a company that is above average.
I only left a little while ago. I won’t go into the drawbacks, since many people below have already mentioned them, and I don’t have too many opinions to express either. At least, to some extent, the company did not treat me unfairly.
Basically neither good nor bad~ at least salaries are paid, and working hours are punctual.
The boss never switches off, 24 hours a day, putting considerable pressure on employees. There are plenty of people in every department who are just coasting. The head of marketing sleeps and chats all day, and sometimes even plays on his phone during work. Everyone works around the boss’s instructions~ marketing is expected to run ads without a budget, yet deliver good performance. Videos go through first, second, and third revisions, with tiny little details changed each time. Everyone is busywork-busy; the online department has no direction and only knows how to handle whatever is immediately in front of them. Not a single PM is professional, and there is a pile of uncompetitive stuff. Everyone just follows the boss’s instructions. Only a certain VP and a certain male PM are okay; the rest are XXXX.
If you live in Xinzhuang or Sanchong, commuting is fairly convenient.
Get up early for work.
This is a traditional company that wants to appear trendy, filled with a bunch of people who pretend to know what they’re talking about. The head of marketing sleeps and shoots the breeze all day, there are lots of middle managers who shift the blame, and the PMs have no authority and are all managed by the general manager—but they’re all just doing things blindly anyway. The company survives purely on its former distribution channels, and many of its brands are pretty awful. I’d advise against buying non-electrical products; if something breaks, there may not necessarily be parts available for repairs. The pay is also very low, and you won’t gain much in terms of skills or experience.
It pays a salary
The boss pretends to know what he’s talking about but doesn’t, and doesn’t listen to other people’s opinions. Even after work, he keeps hounding us with LINE messages. You can only go along with what he wants; he believes he’s never wrong, when in fact he is the biggest problem. His management is also very poor, and he is very old-fashioned in both attitude and practice. Sooner or later, he will fall behind the times.
