There is an all-day meeting once a month, and there is a communication notebook for directly raising issues with the boss—but whether the boss listens is another matter!

The managers there are extremely emotional. They engage in exclusion and loudly scold people, regardless of the situation.

The boss is a woman herself, and emotion outweighs reason. Sometimes she takes action without fully understanding the ins and outs of the situation.

They do not respect professional expertise. Regardless of position, the pay is uniformly around NT$22,000. Claims that the commission will be very high should be taken with a grain of salt.

There are hardly any rules, but there are a great many trivial regulations about makeup, clothing, and shoes.

The interview and the actual job are completely different. Promised pay raises never happen; instead, they send someone to comfort you by saying that your evaluation is coming up soon. What are performance bonuses—can you eat them? Neither my coworkers nor I have ever received any. Even when targets are met, all you get is a dinner.

Everyone is expected to be a jack-of-all-trades, with back-office staff supporting the front of house. I have seen warehouse staff, graphic designers, and even the managers there being pulled away to set up stalls, sell silver jewelry, and staff the counters. They also have to organize all kinds of miscellaneous events to raise awareness!

Graduates, this is a great choice for you. Once you leave, everyone will be fighting to hire you because you will be world-class at enduring hardship.
