1. Improve your ability to become familiar with people within three minutes.
2. Become more proactive.
3. Your attention to detail increases by more than just a little (careless friends, take note!).
4. Learn how to apply screen protectors and gain knowledge about various types of phone cases.
5. The head office has an extremely cute cat.
6. There is a trainer system, so you will not be abandoned.
7. As soon as you join, you are considered an official company employee and receive labor and health insurance (however, you can only start having your performance calculated like everyone else after passing the exam. You do not necessarily have to pass on the first attempt; as long as your performance is not too poor, it should be fine.)
1. Every store has countless surveillance cameras watching the “store employees” from every angle, with no blind spots. The boss and HR at headquarters love keeping tabs on every store employee’s every move and are ready to call you, as if they were filming *The Tenants Downstairs*. (This astonishing need for control.)
2. The people at headquarters act as if their eyes are on top of their heads. I do not know what they are so proud of; they act as if they are superior to everyone else.
3. You may receive demerit points for any trivial matter.
4. The boss says they do not want to raise robots, but their employee training and requirements are gradually turning everyone into robots. Everyone has to follow their SOP; if you do not, you are considered disobedient.
5. The boss’s famous saying: “Don’t tell me there’s no one!”
6. The stores are very close to one another (especially in the East District—there is one within less than a five-minute walk of another), and of course each store’s sales are calculated separately.
7. If a small store does not make 30,000 on a weekday, or a large store does not make 50,000 or 60,000, you will be severely reprimanded. On weekends, a small store making less than 40,000 or 50,000, or a large store making less than 70,000 or 80,000, will also get harshly reprimanded. When things are going well, the rewards are very small (doing well is considered the bare minimum); during the off-season, there are many punishments (poor sales are considered unacceptable). So how is that even an off-season...? Sometimes the sales target for a small store is even higher than that for a large store (but who changes phone cases, screen protectors, and charging cables every day, especially when the prices are so high? As far as the company is concerned, there is no such thing as merely browsing).
8. No matter what goes wrong, it is always the store employees’ fault.
9. The turnover rate is incredibly, incredibly high. New hires do not stay long, and experienced employees cannot be retained. In less than a year, you may find that hardly any of the people you knew at the store are still there. (The boss often says our company benefits are exceptionally good and asks, “Go outside and see who else is like us.” However, they only compare us with worse companies. Still, while we may not be as good as those above us, we are at least somewhat better than those below us.)
10. The company basically makes decisions first and announces them afterward. For example, when they suddenly change the salary payment date or the allocation of the amount, an announcement is only issued after a large number of store employees call headquarters to ask about it.
11. Store transfers are extremely last-minute, with zero discussion and zero preparation. You may receive a phone call ordering you to transfer to another store immediately.
12. If sales are poor during the off-season, the company may call you while you are on leave and lecture you for ages, or call you when the store is extremely busy and order you back to headquarters to be berated (regardless of whether there are customers in the store; if this causes you to lose customers, they act as though it has nothing to do with them).
13. The boss is rather emotional (I seem to remember they are a fire sign... try to understand...).
14. Schedules are made based on odd- and even-numbered dates. Employees at large stores may get Saturdays off, but an unexpected store transfer means you cannot take the day off. HR says, “Who’s responsible for you? Figure it out yourself.”
15. There is sometimes malicious competition between stores (especially nearby stores—there is no helping it, since poor sales will get you criticized).
16. Rumors spread extremely quickly, whether at headquarters or between stores.
I cannot think of anything else for the moment. If you are interested, you can go experience it for yourself.
(Although some things can be somewhat understood from having worked other jobs, that attitude still makes people feel extremely frustrated.)
Oh... a small number of employees are sent EIP notices after leaving, informing all the stores of things that may or may not be true. (If you have decent logic, you will often find the story contradictory.)
