Top-notch company, ha-ha.
I worked here in sales for two years...
My main responsibilities involved selling office multifunction printers and commercial output equipment.
Here are the pros and cons of the position:
Pros
1. There is a base salary: the starting salary is NT$28,000, rising to NT$30,000 after six months. You still receive the base salary even if you make no sales. Commission is calculated based on the sales amount for each quarter; including the base salary, the monthly average can reach around NT$65,000.
2. Two days off per week; public holidays are off.
3. The basic year-end bonus is four months of full salary.
4. Flexible working hours and plenty of autonomy; you do not have to stay in a boring office.
5. You are assigned a fixed quota of existing customers, with only a small amount of cold-calling and new-business development.
6. Seasonal and birthday bonuses; NT$150 for employee movie outings and NT$5,000 in employee travel vouchers.
7. Each employee is provided with a brand-new Dell laptop and a Sony phone, including 5 GB of data and NT$300 per month in call credit.
8. More than one month of training is held at the Wugu Training Building. Meals and accommodation are provided, and you continue to receive your salary.
9. Fuel allowance: NT$4,500 per month for cars and NT$1,500 per month for scooters.
10. New-vehicle purchase subsidy: NT$20,000 for cars and NT$12,000 for scooters.
Cons
1. The manager is a real piece of work: they flip-flop constantly, say nice things to your face, and stab you in the back.
2. There is intense internal infighting and undercurrents everywhere—a power-struggle game. Great.
3. The manager is obsessed with sales targets. Every day there are meetings to chase performance and questions about that day’s customer-visit schedule, and so on.
4. Long working hours; working 10–12 hours a day is routine. (It is a responsibility-based system, and overtime is unpaid.)
5. A 47-year-old company that is traditional and conservative, unwilling to change outdated practices.
6. The company’s system is unbelievably frustrating; everyone who has used it says it is terrible.
7. Internal administrative staff love passing the buck. They always make it clear that the responsibility is not theirs, or else they disappear and stop answering calls.
8. They often organize extremely boring activities and treat employees like dogs to order around.
9. Women are objectified. At year-end banquets and spring dinners, female colleagues are told to sit beside senior executives for company.
Summary:
You can make a decent amount of money.
It is quite suitable for fresh university graduates and offers a chance to observe workplace culture.
While visiting customers, you can also gain a general understanding of how businesses in different industries operate.
