Pros
1. You can freely eat some snacks during work.
2. When there isn’t much work, you can leave work on time.
3. There are bonuses paid at three traditional festivals.
4. Taking leave is not made excessively difficult.
1. The boss is extremely lecherous—extremely, extremely lecherous. This is important (women really should not come for an interview).
2. They make it sound very generous and say there will be a year-end bonus, but in reality it is very little. Don’t set your expectations on it.
3. Salaries are always delayed until the 5th, paid at the very last minute.
4. They assign you something ten minutes before the end of the workday and expect it to be finished that day.
5. The base salary is unbelievably low, e.g. NT$23,000–27,000.
6. You are expected to be able to do everything and know everything (on your first day, you are already expected to help at an event...).
7. The company takes on a pile of strange projects that make little money while keeping everyone very busy (most are dreadful public tenders).
8. The boss gets impatient easily and therefore yells and shouts (even when it is the boss’s own fault).
9. There are many long-serving employees at the company who put on airs.
10. What is described as an opportunity to learn is actually making you do two jobs at once while keeping your salary unchanged.
11. You need to be patient because they love making changes, and the boss and long-serving employees like giving all kinds of terrible suggestions.
12. There is no overtime pay. Even when women work late, the company will not pay for a taxi; you have to handle it yourself.
13. Clients and the boss will all add you on LINE, and there is also a company group that you are forced to join.
14. Regardless of whether it is a holiday or after work, you must answer calls and reply on LINE. Otherwise, you will be mocked at work or told to attend a meeting.
15. The accountant is often absent, so asking about payments is sometimes very troublesome, and payments are also frequently left unprocessed.
"In summary, the company has a very high turnover rate; it can replace five planners in a year."
