1. The company has a high turnover rate. If the people above you all leave, showing enough ambition may make it easier to move up than at a typical company (provided the company thinks you are ambitious enough).
2. The company meals are at the NT$25 level, which is very convenient in the mountains; no complaints there.
1. Overtime must be applied for. The company considers however late you leave on weekdays to be part of your job responsibilities rather than overtime. If weekend overtime is approved, you get compensatory leave, but whether you can actually take it is still a question. If you leave too early, your supervisor will ask whether your workload is too light.
2. When the government announces a typhoon day off, the company has no such culture as a typhoon holiday. If the supervisor "thinks" the wind and rain are not severe and the flooding is not deep, then for this minor wind, rain, and standing water, you "should" come to work.
3. Regarding menstrual leave, the supervisor says the company has no such culture and tells employees to drink more brown sugar and ginger tea in a stuffy work environment without air conditioning or uniforms.
4. Work starts at 8:00 a.m., and you must arrive at the company before 7:45; otherwise, you will be locked outside. They let you in at 7:55 to clock in, and the supervisor will ask about it as if it were flexible lateness.
5. During the Lunar New Year holiday, employees with higher-ranking positions may be called back for meetings.
