The owner of this company is terrifying (a side business of a certain advertising director). I don’t know whether things are still the same now, but I worked at this company many years ago and submitted my resignation after one month (possibly even less). When you join, the company requires you to sign a contract and have a guarantor sign it before they will enroll you in labor and health insurance. My job was online marketing. My desk was together with the advertising department, and for many aspects my boss treated me the same way as the advertising department. She gave me a phone and required me to keep it on 24 hours a day, answer or show up whenever called, and go to the store on weekends to observe everyone’s work and familiarize myself with everything (of course, there was no overtime pay). If I didn’t show up, she would message me asking why; if I didn’t reply, she would ask me on Monday why I hadn’t replied =_= I didn’t want to continue after less than a month, so I made up an excuse and told her that my family wanted me to take the civil service exam, and I still got a lecture. When you first join, they also give you a folder describing how wonderful the boss is and how she participates in various triathlons and so on. Is the point that you’re supposed to become an ironman like her and be worked to the bone? The turnover is extremely high. Unless you have an iron liver and want to be worked to the bone, or don’t want to have any other life, you can give it a try. Oh, and the salary! For the first three months after I joined, I think it was NT$25,000. After three months, it became a base salary of NT$15,000 plus commission—so if things don’t sell well, that’s your problem; it has nothing to do with the design pricing! Isn’t that just wonderful?
