Because it’s a collective brainwashing convention, there might be some handsome guys and beautiful women?
If there were a rating worse than terrible, I’d definitely give it that— as bad as it gets. Simply put, it’s mass recruiting for telemarketing, not a sales position at all.
The monthly salary is listed as NT$27,000 on 104, with the salary calculated as NT$20,000 (base salary) + NT$5,000 (“allowance”) + NT$2,000 (perfect-attendance bonus).
There’s no need to discuss the low base salary; it doesn’t even meet the minimum standard under the Labor Standards Act. And don’t expect them to enroll you in labor and health insurance based on the full NT$27,000.
This will greatly affect the various benefits you may be entitled to in the future, such as unemployment benefits, maternity leave benefits, and parental-leave benefits.
As for the allowance: if you are still employed on the 15th of the month after completing one full month of work (just look at this company’s incredible turnover rate), they will pay you the allowance. So, if you become a regular employee at the end of the month, when you get paid the following month, congratulations—you’ll only receive NT$20,000 multiplied by the proportion of days you worked. Wait, wasn’t there a perfect-attendance bonus? The perfect-attendance period runs from the first day to the last day of each month. In other words, if you don’t work a full month, you won’t be eligible for this either!
As for bonuses, in short, they are pitifully low—around 5% of total sales. If you make NT$150,000 in sales, you only get NT$7,500 (smooch). Not to mention how difficult this product is to sell: anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t buy it. So you can only look for people who don’t understand the internet and trick them into signing up. But can your conscience really live with that? If the answer is yes, then I believe you’re suitable for this company.
Now, promotions: performance evaluations are conducted once every three months. But sorry, they never explain the company’s promotion criteria or career path at all. Unless something unexpected happens, this evaluation is probably just used to cut the “A-Chai overlords” who can’t even meet the minimum target. I’m not saying everyone who works there is a Shiba Inu.
That’s all for now. If anyone’s interested, I may write a sequel. Having interviewed with so many “marketing companies,” this one is truly the most jaw-dropping. There are so many things to criticize that I couldn’t finish listing them all.
