Convenient transportation, and colleagues generally get along well

Overtime pay is provided

Decision-making is chaotic, and supervisors assign tasks based on emotions or personal opinions

There are too many unnecessary meetings: one regular meeting every week, plus even more unrecorded ones. As a result, important work cannot be completed, and we may even be criticized for supposedly poor time management

The company emphasizes procedures, but supervisors are the least likely to follow them. Matters are often delayed until the last minute before being approved

There are no advantages; there are many disadvantages instead.

1. Having to do morning exercises first thing in the morning is just like being in a cult.

2. The company has two female sales managers (one is a very senior employee, and the other is the sales supervisor). Their moods fluctuate greatly, and they use emotional manipulation. They treat the employees under them according to their moods: when they are in a good mood, they are all smiles; when they are in a bad mood, they scold people mercilessly.

3. Despite being a small company, signing documents requires going through a lot of procedures.

4. The job involves doing everything under the sun—you are expected to handle everything.

5. It is a company with no systems in place, yet when participating in livestreaming activities, it expects employees to pay the registration fee out of their own pockets.

6. For the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, there are only company products (near-expiry products??), with no cash gifts.

7. The employee turnover rate really is quite high.

8. Everything mentioned in the other comments is true. Don’t waste your time coming to this company.

1. The location is not very far from the MRT station (commuting to and from Taipei is fairly convenient)

2. Overtime is paid (but excessive hours will attract scrutiny)

3. Inexpensive food options nearby

1. Unclear division of responsibilities: The position you were hired for may be reassigned at any time, or you may be given many unusual additional tasks (handling supervisors’ personal errands and group purchases for their relatives and friends).

2. Meaningless, excessively long meetings: In addition to regular meetings, employees are frequently called into meetings, supposedly to develop new projects, but these often lack planning and ultimately come to nothing. The weekly and monthly regular meetings are meant to help everyone understand each other’s work, but it often happens that department supervisors have no idea what projects their subordinates are working on, or question your progress and publicly berate employees in inappropriate language.

3. Family business + parachuted-in personnel: A common problem in traditional industries. The family-business structure makes titles and positions effectively meaningless at this company, and conflicting instructions from different bosses are common: A agrees while B disagrees, delaying projects, after which employees are blamed. Inexperienced personnel are put in charge of multiple departments at once, while employees must also remain mindful of their supervisors’ moods.

4. Employee work time is occupied: Courses are scheduled during working hours, ostensibly to help department employees learn, but the content is repeatedly recycled. Employees are also required to carry out projects without any marketing budget, leaving them to mechanically repeat the cycle of proposal → decision → no budget every week. Meanwhile, employees have to work overtime every day to handle other business, completely putting the cart before the horse.

5. High departmental turnover: An average of two to three colleagues resign each month. The company’s approach is not to hire replacements, but to leave all the work to the remaining colleagues. If you work too much overtime, you will be reminded about it. Even after passing the probation period, the company will not proactively raise your salary; instead, employees are told: “I’m afraid that if I raise your salary, you’ll become lazy,” and “Unless you can do much more than you do now.”

- The food industry does fairly good business year-round. If you live nearby and want to experience a traditional-industry company, you could consider it.

The salary is not very competitive, but if you work plenty of overtime, you can barely make a living here.

It can also be a good place to test your stress tolerance.

1. Good relationships among colleagues

2. Plenty of food options nearby

3. Parking lot available

4. Overtime pay can be applied for

1. It is a family-owned business. The supervisor should be here to manage the company properly, but instead, decisions are constantly changed again and again, becoming more and more chaotic. Then, they blame frontline employees for being too slow.

2. In meetings, they always say, “Don’t work overtime; you should go out and have fun while you’re young.” Yet they love finding things for us to do when there is nothing else to do. There is a mountain of work, and they still interfere pointlessly. Working overtime two or three hours every day is the norm.

3. Meaningless meetings are held every week. Meetings always involve reporting progress because the supervisor does not keep track of things independently and is not even very good at operating a computer. They constantly demand that employees produce files in the exact format they have in mind before they are satisfied.

4. During holiday seasons, working overtime every day is the norm. Employees may be assigned to prepare gift boxes, and they say shipments must follow a specific order. However, the supervisor’s own purchases or gifts are always given top priority and jump the queue.

5. There is no complete handover process—only a single handover checklist. The person taking over must bear responsibility for mistakes made by the previous employee. They only tell you, “I’m dealing with the person responsible now. As for the previous mistakes, you have to solve them????”

6. Everything, big or small, must be reported to the supervisor. You may receive calls after work or during holidays, and if you do not answer, they will still demand that you call back. You have to be extremely careful and clear in what you say; otherwise, your words can easily be taken out of context and you may be accused of faults that do not exist.

1. Some colleagues are easy to get along with

2. There is a parking lot

3. Overtime pay is provided

1. Family-owned business (enough said)

2. Policies and decisions are frequently changed without warning (who could stand it?)

3. Job responsibilities have not yet been clearly divided (everyone plays multiple roles)

4. Most people live in their own worlds (go out and see more of the world!)

5. Too many pointless meetings (with absolutely no results)

6. Some managers handle matters according to their “mood” (arbitrary, without a doubt)

7. An exceedingly high turnover rate (the company simply considers the employees a bunch of “strawberries”—overly delicate and unable to endure hardship)

8. One manager really loves gossiping (calculated by the hour)

9. They do not trust professionals and do not make good use of talent (this…)

10. Morning exercises are required! (Not very suitable for young people)

1. Good work environment, lively surroundings

2. Delicious products

1. There is a three-month probationary period after joining. The probationary salary does not match the salary stated on the job bank listing. After three months, you need to negotiate for a raise, but they may not give you one. They might even ask why you think you deserve a raise. The main point is that the job bank listed that salary—what reason do you have for not paying it?

2. They allow a certain employee to be late and sleep at their desk during work hours, only occasionally reprimanding them during meetings.

3. The promised performance bonus has never been paid.

4. It is a family business—need I say more?
