Read the community guidelinesYou can leave work on time and never have to work overtime. Even when a new product launches, you can still leave on time even if you haven’t finished your work.
The boss often curses during meetings or calls you a tortoise.
Very suitable for people looking to retire comfortably or for those who like being tortoises to join.
There are never any salary increases. The boss really likes verbally abusing people and is especially fond of auditing systems. For example, for marketing work, he will have the administrative assistant, store-opening assistant, and operations staff who sell watches audit and direct the marketing work. There is also the boss’s wife, who graduated from a design program but holds the title of CFO; she is always miscalculating money, comes and goes from the company as she pleases, and acts arrogantly and ignores people whenever she sees them. Even when she does come to the company, she leaves before four o’clock. The company’s overall system is based on seniority and favoritism. Even in a company of more than 15 people, there are already factions. Senior employees band together with others to ostracize newcomers who do not obey them. As a result, the number of people who have quit seems to be greater than the company’s total current headcount. Also, deducting perfect-attendance bonuses for taking leave is understandable, but being late incurs an additional cash charge of NT$10 for every minute, supposedly for a public fund. At NT$10 per minute, calculated proportionally, my monthly salary should be NT$130,000. If you simply want to live a stable life here, you need to know how to flatter the boss and the CFO (the boss’s wife), and then you can stay here for a long time. If you have a good relationship with them, you can even receive special privileges—for example, if you say you need to look after your children long-term and want to work remotely, the boss’s wife will grant you an exception.
Leaving work on time is really true~
A company with absolutely no system whatsoever,
where handling matters is endlessly delayed,
where you don’t get a raise but are still criticized for everything,
a completely business-oriented, results-at-all-costs operating model,
with the sales department holding all the power while being dismissive,
able to pretend to ignore important information,
and when they need your help,
they’ll suddenly make an overly familiar appeal for assistance.
The strangest workplace atmosphere I’ve ever encountered,
a company that offers you absolutely no opportunity to grow.
In short, I strongly advise you not to try it~
The only positive thing I can think of is that you always leave work exactly on time. If you can't finish something, you can only do it tomorrow because someone there will lock up right on time.
Customer service and administration in ordinary companies usually have no issues because they are managed together. This company is very bizarre: customer service and administration are separate departments, so when you take leave, there are two people covering for you—it's ridiculous. Then, after working for 11 months, they still wouldn't give me a permanent-employee title. Just as I was about to reach my one-year mark, they suddenly laid me off, saying it was because the department was downsizing. It was extremely frustrating. Then, when I received the involuntary separation application, they had actually checked “unsuitable for the position.” I was completely dumbfounded—after working for 11 months, you're telling me I was unsuitable? I can only laugh. I'm currently struggling with HR over this. This company makes decisions entirely according to the boss's mood. The supervisors are all permanently acting supervisors, and no one has any actual authority. I raised my concerns with the acting supervisor many times, but nothing ever came of it. Therefore, I strongly recommend not coming to this company. There should be more than one distributor for Gramin, so there's no need to come here to suffer.
Unexpectedly, I gave a positive review first because I was afraid of being hassled. Read on for the details.
I didn't submit an application; they approached me and asked me to interview. They first requested a proposal before the second interview, but the hiring manager had never seen or understood the proposal at all, and even asked to see the closing reports for cases the applicant had handled in the past. Hello, would you consider it reasonable if your employees or vendors you have worked with showed a closing report to a competitor? Please use some logic when you speak.
