1. If you’re someone who enjoys traveling around the island, this company is really suitable for you.

2. If you enjoy tasting local food when traveling for work, this company is really suitable for you.

3. If you want to slack off while traveling for work, this job is actually quite suitable for you.

1. The pay is ridiculously fucking low. When you first join, your salary absolutely will not reach NT$30,000.

2. The company takes on Taiwan Railways projects, so maintenance work requires traveling all over Taiwan, including troubleshooting and repairing network equipment.

3. You’ll find that people who join this company leave after only a short time.

4. Reports are always rushed during the final week.

5. Whenever you travel for maintenance and finish the work, there are always maintenance tickets missing, so you have to make another trip every time.

6. The office is almost always empty because everyone has gone on business trips.

7. You’ll never see the accountant either. Out of 365 days, you’ll only see them at the year-end banquet.

8. The company always uses LINE for clocking in and out. So even if you don’t go to the office, you can simply send a message saying you’re at work, and no one will know you’re slacking off.

9. On-site staff can never take compensatory leave or request sudden leave, because on-site personnel need certifications such as CCNA. However, given the convenience-store-level salary the company offers for IT positions, it’s genuinely difficult to hire people, so there is almost always only one person working on-site. At most, you can make tea, chat, and rush reports at the site with your supervisor.

10. Basically, it’s difficult to learn anything at this company. Most of what you can learn can be found online—for example, configuring the IP addresses of network devices, patching fiber-optic cables, and installing equipment. To put it bluntly, you’re just someone who can drive, helping them travel around Taiwan to perform maintenance and collect signed work orders.

11. On-site personnel are basically like a switchboard operator. Their main job is to receive repair requests for the networks at railway stations across Taiwan. Honestly, for nearly 300 out of 365 days, you could receive network troubleshooting requests. That’s quite impressive in its own way—and you still have to deal with all this bullshit.

12. The company’s headcount never exceeds 10 people: one owner, two supervisors, and one accountant (whether this person really counts is difficult to say). The rest are junior maintenance staff and on-site personnel. When I was there, at most there was one on-site employee and four maintenance workers traveling around Taiwan.

13. The company has no systems or procedures. If someone slacks off, the supervisors don’t care. They only care about the efficiency of completing service calls, and they neither encourage nor reward employees. When staffing is short, they may actually make two people work together to cover all of Taiwan. If you work quickly, they’ll only say, “Then keep going.” If you work too slowly, they’ll sarcastically say, “You people don’t know how to plan your routes.”

14. The company really likes working as a subcontractor for other companies, and the supervisors never shield you from miscellaneous tasks assigned by the prime contractor. You’ll find that your workload just keeps increasing.

15. In conclusion, if you want to experience traveling around the island every three months—and if you want to become a driving god—you’re very welcome.
