Management lacks direction and respect for employees - Anonymous employee WildChina Employee Review

Wildchina is a horrible company

Wildchina office in beijing often looking for staff and specially foreign staff, they hire base on lies . Chinese staff doesnt know what is doing and overwork , most of them do not speak english and are constantly changing staff. Mei Zheng the owners is a corrupt and heartless woman, she writes her on reviews and applies for all her awards. I had seem her fired people just becuase they get pregnant. The company is just a cover up for Mei Zheng to support her lavish and luxury trips, the staff gets pay nathing and all the foreigners working there had no visa and get fired as soon as 3 months or when Me decides.

- International workplace with smart, travel-minded coworkers - Clean, well-designed office space with many windows - Occasional travel opportunities for expats in Marketing and Leisure Departments - 50% of the year out of office leading trips in Education Department - Great locations near Liangmaqiao subway: many restaurants, bars, and a river to walk along

TERRIBLE BENEFITS FOR FOREIGNERS: - Foreigners have to pay for their own visa runs, which is unheard of in other companies - No Medical Insurance - Low Salaries BLEAK COMPANY CULTURE - There is a general unhappiness around the office for several reasons: hard work not being recognized, low pay with barely any raises and bonuses, mismanagement, high-stress work environments, high turnover rates - The company culture is broken up into veteran staff and new staff, and then split up more by foreign and local staff - There is rampant bullying within the office: Some among veteran staff to younger staff, however the worst of it is among the maids ("a-yi"). Though workers see and hear unfair treatment to the "a-yi" staff, higher management has yet to lift a finger to approach this. - Many coworkers commiserate about working at WildChina: topics include why a 15-year old company still works like a startup, daily issues with management, the company not doing well financially, bullying among departments, rare career development opportunities, and the secret date when another coworker plans to leave. WORDS OF ADICE: - Only join WildChina if you are on a Work Visa, or be sure to negotiate with the company that they pay for your visa runs if on a Tourist Visa. - Be sure to negotiate for the highest salary because you will most likely not receive a raise or annual bonus during your time in the company - Leave the office everyday at 6pm and make a healthy work/life balance because WildChina does not pay overtime, and you should not work extra hours for free and with little recognition - When HR gives you paperwork to sign, be sure to read the fine print carefully because some policies strip away minor, but important rights as a foreign employee (you also do not need to sign) - There are phenomenal people that are keeping WildChina afloat, and you will know who...get to know them!
