Workplace reviews and discussion: 和欣汽車客運股份有限公司

None

During the interview, you are required to fill out a great deal of private information that should probably not be requested, such as whether you have tattoos, information about your family, and so on.

Throughout the interview, the interviewer repeatedly emphasizes that, if hired, they do not want your personal matters to affect your work—for example, causing you to leave late (without overtime pay) or work on holidays. They do not want anything happening in your family to cause you to refuse overtime. The interviewer will also ask what your family does for a living and whether they need your help. It seems that you will often be required to work overtime and leave late, and the interviewer will repeatedly emphasize that they do not want anything to require you to rush home and prevent you from working overtime.

In short, they will tell you that you need to frequently work overtime and leave late, but there is no overtime pay. They will also tell you that you need to cooperate with working on holidays, and the interviewer will make it clear that they do not want you to refuse any overtime.

During the interview, applicants are required to sign an agreement—for example, stating that the leave system must follow their regulations. (I am not sure whether this complies with the Labor Standards Act, but the way it is presented makes you feel as though you are not being taken advantage of; in reality, it indirectly means you are not given the double pay or double leave that should apply on holidays such as Lunar New Year, the Qingming Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival.)

Personally, although the interviewer repeatedly stated during the interview that everything complied with legal regulations, after thinking it over, I felt that the rules did not seem entirely compliant.
