Read the community guidelinesComplies with the Labor Standards Act / Convenient leave policies
Suitable for people who are very good at dodging responsibility and being evasive, have excellent verbal skills, and just want to comfortably earn a modest salary~ Highly recommended~
The company grows slowly (traditional industry)
The extent of salary increases... microscopic
The upper management's naive ideas can be impossible to understand
For things designed for the boss, design them in the direction of the kind of images older relatives like, so there won't be too much back-and-forth revision: large text, two lines in different colors—the more garish, the better. The boss likes it!
Eventually, you won't even know what else to change
The initial job description will include more than these tasks. In the end, besides graphic design, video production, web design, and e-commerce operations will also be handled by the designer
E-commerce operations include designing graphics, listing and delisting products, planning copy, planning promotional bundle pricing, marketing planning, and packing and shipping orders—all of which you'll do!
All processes comply with the Labor Standards Act, the boss is a good person, and some colleagues are easy to get along with.
I genuinely feel that the company's internal SOPs are problematic!!! New hires are expected to create a catalog before they have even been there for two weeks. They say you have freedom to be creative, but in reality there are all kinds of restrictions. The designer who was originally responsible for the project simply handed the work off to the new hire, while still trying to control how the new hire did it. The boss would demand that something be made before it had even been discussed. Then, after it was completed, the boss would keep changing the style. There was never any clear standard or consensus. When there were questions, asking senior colleagues would get the response that they were no longer responsible for the project, so the new hire should figure it out alone. There was also no single, consistent point of contact for discussions. The style wanted by the business supervisor was not what the boss wanted, and the style wanted by the boss was not what the business supervisor wanted. A small booklet of just over ten pages was revised back and forth like this, and the discarded drafts of the booklet ended up thicker than an encyclopedia!!! Later, they complained that the new hire was inefficient and worked too slowly. Reporting the issue to the department supervisor not only failed to solve it, but also led to being questioned as though they had come in just to cause trouble. Then there was a senior colleague who used the boss as leverage, threatening the new hire and saying they were not allowed to take breaks. During the probationary period, the new hire was forced to work overtime without warning. Just because you have nothing to do at home after work doesn't mean I have nothing to do at home, OK? They were even dragged in to work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays. The boss never showed any consideration for the employees either, and completely forgot what they themselves had said. In the end, no matter who was at fault, it was always the new employee's fault. Finally, even after the promotional materials were produced, the business supervisor complained about them, looked down on them, and sarcastically said: "Even I, a layperson, could do better than you." This vicious cycle never ends. New hires thinking of joining should think twice, because you'll either be worked to death or driven crazy—and either way, it will be emotionally exhausting.
Very compliant with the Labor Standards Act, and highly suitable for people without work experience to give it a try. You may be able to learn some valuable things.
Upper management's thinking is too naive. Every year follows the same cycle: there is more time spent in meetings than doing actual work, and they even forget what was discussed in the previous meeting.... In short, if you just want a paycheck, you can go for it; if you want to make use of your strengths, then.....think again.
