Read the community guidelines1. The company provides a coffee machine, and coffee is available every day with unlimited refills.
2. Lunch is provided at noon without deducting meal expenses, saving both the time spent buying lunch and the cost of the meal.
3. The company’s employee welfare committee occasionally provides drinks and afternoon snacks.
There is also a snack cabinet for employees to help themselves to, and the general manager often treats everyone to afternoon snacks
and buys seasonal fruit to share with employees..
4. The restrooms are very clean…
5. As long as you let your supervisor see your abilities, your salary will grow quickly.
This is true, provided that you demonstrate how much value your abilities can bring to the company…
Because it is an established company, many new systems are still being developed.
The work atmosphere at this company is also quite good. The manager likes to drink beverages, and every now and then everyone buys drinks to cool off. The boss’s wife is extremely generous and often treats us to food. She even gives us fruit by the “box,” supporting farmers while also taking care of employees. Although the work is varied, you can learn a lot. I recommend that newcomers to the workplace keep an open mind; otherwise, everywhere will feel the same. If you always maintain a grateful heart, you will also be happier.
The tasks are very varied, but for me, they are a kind of challenge. I treat them as challenges rather than obstacles.
1. Friendly toward newcomers
2. Free lunch
1. The factory is noisy; the machine tools and machinery operate for long periods and are very loud, and no hearing protection (earplugs) is provided. Over time, this can harm your hearing.
2. The atmosphere within the company is strange; as long as management is displeased, they can easily turn hostile.
3. The perfect-attendance bonus is included in the base salary.
4. The actual job duties may differ from what was described in the interview.
1. The restroom is very clean
2. It is a place where you can learn things
3. The owner occasionally treats us to small snacks
1. The owner often says one thing and does another. She frequently talks about following SOPs but disrupts the work sequence herself, then criticizes you for not completing the task on time. Her titles are general manager, sales manager, personnel manager, and chair of the R&D meetings. She wants to control everything but does not delegate authority and does not want to take responsibility;
2. She also constantly requires employees to write SOPs and repeatedly asks you to revise them, using this to criticize you. But since when has it been so important for a sales assistant to write SOPs for every task?
3. Toward outsiders, customers, and new employees, she always puts on a smiling, kind, and approachable face, making it seem as though anything can be discussed. In reality, she is quick to turn hostile and cold, with highly volatile moods.
4. The production department manager has very little patience and often speaks harshly.
None
During the interview, the female general manager seemed very approachable, but don’t be fooled. Once you start working there, the nightmare begins. I know many bosses have bad tempers, but when this female general manager loses her temper, she is extremely unreasonable and uses very harsh language when scolding people. She is also extremely particular: you cannot place cups or food on your desk. You are not allowed to touch your phone at all during work or look at websites. I understand that these things should generally be avoided during work, but she does not tolerate it even for a moment. She is very strict—even if you have an urgent or important matter, you cannot answer the phone. Basically, it is no different from being in prison. Once the female general manager turns against you, she will not show mercy.
Working hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Leaving early means you can pick up your children.
The general manager backs up your computer after working hours.
They may also suddenly change passwords or permissions. If you suddenly can’t access a folder, besides checking whether the network connection has been interrupted, it may be because the general manager is changing the folder permissions again.
There is really a high turnover rate. If you can adapt to the general manager’s frequent shifts between sunshine, clouds, and thunderstorms, and if you can adapt to their tendency to focus on the person rather than the issue, you can stay longer.
Before the boss’s wife got involved, the work atmosphere was harmonious.
The boss and his wife have different ideas. I witnessed two major arguments, which really made me feel like escaping the office. The boss uses staring and glaring to keep an eye on people, especially disliking office staff who do clerical work. The boss’s wife often says one thing and does another, frequently forgetting the work order she had previously requested, then criticizing you for not completing the task within the allotted time. Her titles are general manager, sales manager, human resources manager, and chair of the R&D meetings. She wants to control everything but does not delegate authority and does not want to take responsibility. She also constantly revises employees’ documents and materials; whenever someone resigns, she tells newcomers that she was the one who created those materials. To outsiders, customers, and new employees, she always puts on a smiling, kind, and approachable face, making it seem as though everything is open for discussion. However, when the boss thinks there are too many people in the office and the boss’s wife believes she can find someone cheaper, they resort to pressuring people to leave—for example, transferring them without discussion or asking them to clean and organize the entire floor.
The working hours are not long, so this is only for general reference. The manager is a woman who is very kind and courteous, and she explains the upcoming work in great detail. She is also very willing to teach and mentor new employees.
I often see the same job openings being posted repeatedly, which suggests that the turnover rate may be fairly high. I think the reason may lie with the internal junior supervisors. Even when a new employee places a water bottle or thermos on “their own workstation,” they are told that such items cannot be left on the desk and must be put underneath. Yet, after looking around, I saw that other employees also kept their personal belongings on their desks.
I previously went for an interview, and my overall impression was quite good. The general manager was very polite and patiently explained the position. The company generally complies with the Labor Standards Act. The salary offered to inexperienced newcomers was fairly reasonable. During the interview, typing accuracy is tested (they said it was to assess attention to detail). Free meals are provided, and overtime is not common.
The office atmosphere is a bit dull, and it feels like people form cliques.
