It’s easy to change shifts, and most colleagues get along well.
(There are many exceptions among supervisors. Many supervisors have emotional-management issues; there are lots who mutter to themselves and suddenly yell at people. You read that right—suddenly!)
You have to handle and sort merchandise. (At other counters, someone handles the security tags and Chinese labels.)
You have to do the displays yourself. (Other companies have display staff.)
There are no benefits. (There is no employee-tour subsidy, no year-end bonus, and you only get benefits for the three major holidays after completing one year. There is an employee-purchase program, but they deduct a NT$500 monthly benefits fee anyway?)
The company also keeps changing people internally, so you constantly have to adapt to new supervisors. (The supervisors all have very bad tempers—they’re the kind who throw their weight around as officials and are extremely prone to explosive outbursts.)
It’s basically a concept of luring you in with an “average salary” of NT$30,000. (Actually, the pay and benefits... suddenly make me feel that factory wages and benefits are really good! In reality, more than 50% of employees earn below NT$25,000 on average; you have to rely on overtime to push your pay up to those figures...)
The benefits system just gets worse every year.
