1. You can get onboarded at the fastest possible speed; all you need is to have graduated from a university law department and be human.
2. Supervisors don’t yell at people or keep too close an eye on them. As long as you meet your performance targets, you can largely do what you want (except chat with coworkers).
3. It’s in central Taipei, very close to an MRT station.
4. The company name carries weight.
5. It fully complies with the Labor Standards Act, and having detailed pay statements makes applying for a credit card very convenient.
6. The coworkers are all very nice. Everyone has the same goal and supports one another.
7. You can learn workplace survival skills through ecological observation.
Summary: If you graduated from law school, are going crazy from studying for the bar exam, and have absolutely no work experience, this can be an option for earning living expenses and rejoining society—as long as you can accept the drawbacks after reading them.
1. The pay is very low—an eternal NT$25,000—and labor and health insurance premiums are deducted. It is also almost impossible to get a raise, with no other bonuses or benefits whatsoever.
2. There are only two options: dispatched work or contract employment. If you really have to choose, dispatched work is better than contract employment.
3. To comply with the Labor Standards Act, the contract can be for no more than one year; once the time is up, you will be told to leave.
4. You may accidentally get caught in the crossfire when certain full-time employees fight among themselves.
5. The higher-ranking the full-time employees, the more they micromanage trivial matters. You should understand that contract workers have low status and no human rights in the company. They can do the same things openly, but you cannot.
6. Because contract workers never stay long, many things are simply left to rot, and plenty of surprises will be waiting for you.
7. Unless you go around learning about different positions, you will only learn one step in the debt-collection process.
Summary: It is an opportunity to practice enduring humiliation and bearing burdens.
