Workplace reviews and discussion: 維修工程師 (總公司)

I heard the salary is better than some but not as good as others. During the interview, I tried to sound them out, and new hires reportedly start at around 28,000.

If you live at home, you can take advantage of the fact that assignments may require traveling and staying on-site for more than a month at a time.

Other salary information can be found online.

1. Salary during the interview:

During the interview, you fill out three questionnaires. The first concerns the Personal Data Protection Act, and the second is a basic logic and aptitude test.

The third is an exam related to the position you are applying for. The first interviewer said the basic salary is generally around 28,000.

The second interviewer, a supervisor in the maintenance department, said the average for this position is 30,000–40,000, depending on subsequent performance ratings, which can raise the salary. I heard the maximum can exceed 50,000.

2. Work environment:

Basically, you travel to gambling venues, such as baccarat and other gambling entertainment establishments, so the work environment is relatively complicated. In addition, the job involves shift work, but the shifts are like those described in a previous comment: 12 hours each in the morning and evening, with another middle shift scheduled in between, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., I think (I don't remember exactly).

You may also be assigned to different locations. I heard the farthest locations include Keelung and Yilan. Dormitory accommodation is available, but you would have to ask former employees of the company to find out whether the dormitories are any good.

3. Other:

During the interview, the supervisor will ask whether you have looked up reviews of Tien Hsia Digital. Online reviews are generally terrible, and they will ask what you think about that. They also emphasize that because you attend training here, you will not be paid until you become a formal employee. What I was curious about was whether labor and health insurance are provided. If they are, that would be illegal; if they are not, and you fail to meet the company's requirements and have to leave after the 15-day training period, would you be entitled to severance pay, and so on? Whether the time ultimately proves worthwhile is up to each individual to decide.

In addition, I have seen people online say that this job can make your future career path very narrow, because repairing gambling machines is not very useful in other industries. Unless you move to another company in the same industry, it may not help much when negotiating your starting salary in future job interviews.
