Workplace reviews and discussion: 捷芮國際股份有限公司

1. The salary is fairly good (the probationary salary for administrative customer service is NT$26,000, but someone who started at the same time as me was actually paid NT$27,000. I was completely confused, especially since I had better qualifications.)

2. The air conditioning is so cold in summer that you need to wear a jacket.

3. Business is doing very well, so basically you don't need to worry about the company going under.

1. You need to arrive early for work (the scheduled start time is 8:30 a.m., but you actually have to arrive even earlier; otherwise, there is no way to finish everything, because at 10:00 a.m. the warehouse needs the orders received from after the previous workday through that morning, and administrative customer service staff must key all the orders into shipping orders before 10:00.)

2. You work so much overtime that it feels unbearable (the scheduled end time is 5:30 p.m., but no one dares to leave on time. Even if you have finished your work, you can only pretend to be busy at your desk, working overtime until nearly 7 p.m. before they are willing to let people leave.)

3. Every Friday at noon, you have to eat half an hour early, and during the lunch break you have to recite the Book of Songs, confess, listen to hymns, and preach.

4. Work hours are extremely tense; even going to the bathroom feels stressful and rushed because you are afraid of delaying your work. You cannot even enjoy your lunch break—you have to finish eating quickly and get back to work.

4. The supervisor is very emotional and does not like newcomers who are too attractive, too outstanding, too eye-catching, or too capable at their jobs (possibly because they are afraid of having their position taken.)

5. When you first join, they say it sounds nice that they do not want everyone to stay late working, but it is all nonsense. In reality, staying until 7–8 p.m. is standard.

6. The salary is calculated incorrectly (I worked 15 days at the time, excluding holidays, but in the end I received only a little over NT$17,000. It was awful.)

8. The administrative customer service staff keep coming and going (the longest anyone stayed was three weeks, and the shortest was one week). The company never reflects on why it cannot retain employees; it just keeps recruiting new disposable workers.

7. During work hours, you are constantly forced to listen to hymns, which gives you a terrible headache.

8. Because customer service staff keep coming and going, you are expected to get up to speed very quickly, but the training period is nowhere near long enough, leaving new hires feeling extremely pressured.
