Workplace reviews and discussion: 台灣喜佳股份有限公司

The department store is very cool.

Labor and health insurance are provided in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.

The atmosphere with the students attending classes is good.

Clocking in and out online is convenient.

The base salary is relatively low, starting at NT$15,000, plus meal subsidies, for a total of approximately NT$23,000.

You need to be assigned to the right supervisor. A difficult supervisor with low emotional intelligence can create a poor work atmosphere and may easily lash out at people based on unfounded suspicions.

Meal times are not fixed, and your time may be taken away without compensation (you may be limited to a very short meal break and not allowed to take the full one-hour rest period). Standing for long periods often causes leg pain.

The seniority system is very strong. You must make sure the teachers and senior colleagues eat first. The company is made up mostly of older women, so a single mistake can quickly spread throughout the workplace, causing various forms of mental and physical exhaustion. Being inexplicably scolded is considered normal.

When it is busy, it feels very much like going into battle, so you need to be able to handle pressure.

The company assigns tasks from time to time, and it is best to complete and submit them the same day. The materials for the assignments usually require an application.

Under the “unspoken rules,” the tools and fabrics used must be those sold by the company.

The company may use appealing language to suggest that you can learn many things. In reality, when a teacher is teaching, you must not follow along with the lesson or even stand and listen; even if there are no other customers, you may be accused of slacking off and scolded.

It is best to remember instructions after hearing them once.

When trying to force employees to resign, the company may apply pressure or engage in rough behavior, such as throwing objects, to make them sign their own resignation forms. Once they know you are going to resign, they will not offer employees the 60% discount to settle the cost of purchasing materials.

You often need to use LINE to communicate about work matters, and you must pay attention both during and after work. There is no Internet expense subsidy.

The job operates under a “responsibility system,” meaning you are responsible for work beyond scheduled hours without additional pay.

Turnover is high. If you are young, students may easily question your professionalism.

Conclusion: It is recommended to maintain a humble attitude and, when something inexplicable happens, try to say that you will improve.
