I thought I was joining a good company.

More than half of every day is spent in department meetings, but in reality, we're just listening to the manager complain. The manager makes a decision one second and changes their mind the next, so every day we have no idea what we're doing.

None

I must have been blind to join this company; it was a waste of my time.

Some departments do not have a heavy workload

1. Collaboration between departments is poor. Each department only looks after its own responsibilities, so it is best not to encounter tasks requiring cross-departmental cooperation, as they can feel very helpless.

2. Office politics are prevalent.

3. The boss makes decisions based on their mood, resulting in situations where directives change from one day to the next.

4. The company still relies heavily on paper-based operations. Processes are complicated, and administrative efficiency is poor.

Simply put, established administrative positions may be worth trying, and the work is relatively stable. However, if the role involves expressing opinions or working in departments that appear more innovative, it is advisable to consider carefully. At its core, this company is a traditional family business with very traditional thinking. It rejects innovation and attempts to introduce new concepts and ideas, and prefers people who follow orders. Those with career aspirations and their own ideas should seriously evaluate whether this company aligns with their career plans.

Having to wear a uniform—I don't know whether to count that as a pro or a con, so I'll just put it in the first sentence.

1. In the department I'm in, as long as you get your work done, that's all that matters. Basically, one day passes after another.

2. You get three opportunities each month to be 10 minutes late, without having to take leave.

3. Working hours are 08:30–18:00, with a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break. You leave on time and don't work overtime.

4. If you don't have much of an opinion and just want to work hard and coast toward retirement, you can come here.

1. There are many long-timers. Young people all know they should escape, which has also resulted in there being more upper management than frontline staff.

2. Everything is handled on paper. If you want to take leave, you still have to find HR to get a paper leave form.

3. The pantry (a small corner) only has a water dispenser—there's no steam-heating cabinet, microwave, coffee machine, or anything like that.

4. The labor insurance, health insurance, and pension arrangements are illegal, and the contribution brackets don't change even after a raise. The annual leave policy is also illegal: no matter how long you've worked here, you only get 15 days.

5. I heard that the year-end bonus has been only 0.2 for five consecutive years. You also have to go up and perform at the year-end party yourself.

6. They've been working on digital transformation for ages, but there's still no sign of it. Things are still very traditional.

7. It's a family business. You can't eat breakfast during working hours—the madam has the final say.
