A travel company operating like a direct-sales business.
Before starting work, you must provide your own laptop, tablet, business cards, stationery, and blank paper (conservatively estimated at an initial cost of NT$20,000–30,000).
Postage for items sent to customers, as well as accommodation and transportation expenses for travel fairs, must also be paid out of your own pocket.
There is absolutely no protection for employees. You may be directly told to leave because you took leave at an inconvenient time or made an even more minor mistake.
The company has no legal or human resources department, providing employees with very little protection; whether you stay or leave depends on the supervisor’s mood.
Most employees who are asked to resign simply leave quietly without receiving the severance pay they are entitled to.
Even when you resign, you may be suddenly told, “Come in tomorrow to hand over your work,” without being given any notice or time to look for another job.
This completely violates the requirements of the Labor Standards Act!
Once you join, they brainwash you incessantly, insisting that you must work at travel fairs to generate sales, but all expenses for attending the fairs must be paid by employees themselves.
Everything from transportation and accommodation to other costs is paid out of your pocket; before you have earned any money or received any bonuses, you have already spent a great deal.
This provides very little protection for fresh graduates without a financial foundation!!
