1- Store manager: A-Hao (nickname: Pro-ge). I admire him; he’s young (many years younger than me, but much more capable). During the interview I spoke with the owner, and on my first day of work as a warehouse administrator, A-Hao trained me. Thank you to A-Hao for being patient and professional when helping me get started. (He often reminded me, “This is what the boss requires…” and so on—“Don’t make mistakes just because you’re new here like I did when I first started; it’ll be troublesome.” He was very conscientious. It wasn’t until the meeting in my second week that I realized: it turns out A-Hao is so capable because he is constantly pushed and pressured by the boss. The other colleagues were also very capable 👍 and good at repairing cars, but they were busy, so I felt embarrassed to ask them questions.
2- I only worked there for one year and eight months, which isn’t very long. But after I went home to help with my family’s company, I understood: being a boss or store manager means your mind has to change every day, just like the weather, while handling many other things. When I was a full-time employee, learning everything felt exhausting, and I used to think, “Why do I have to learn so much?”
3- So, newcomers: the old store uses very traditional methods, but there are many things you can learn that may not be useful at the time but will be useful in the future. Please be patient.
4- Thanks to Boss Xue for teaching me many advanced “ways of doing business.” Thanks to A-Hao for teaching me about the parts I didn’t understand at the time.
5- It was super comfortable seeing lots of custom modifications right in front of me every day! So cool! Absolutely awesome 👍 (I like modifying cars.)
6- The female owner’s choice of words isn’t always very pleasant, but she’s excellent at cooking, and most importantly, she always gives me food. (“You get diarrhea often from eating out. Stop eating out—I’ll cook something for you; just eat whatever I make, okay~~.”) I call her Sister Ah. She talks like that, but she treats me very well. (She has a bad temper and can be fierce with people who are rude, and I often forgot to bring back receipts for reimbursement. She would say, “Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be?” Hehe 😁 Sorry! But every time, she would cool down soon afterward 😭, cook something, and call me to eat. Good people may not have sweet words 😄 Thank you, Sister Ah, for taking care of me 😄)
1- The boss has a very demanding temper and expects 95% perfection. If you can’t keep up, you’re out 😭. But if you come back and manage to keep up, you’ll learn quite a lot. (The boss is very good at negotiating business. After just a couple of sentences, even if a customer is hesitant, they’ll listen to him.)
2- During the first week of employment, you need to adjust and adapt. You have to treat it as your own store to make it through the probationary period.
3- There must be a group meal on payday. The boss says it’s rude not to attend.
4- Those who are afraid of dogs should consider this carefully (there are several very fierce ones), but they’re okay once they get used to you.
5- Unlike other companies, payday is the 10th. Whether you are a full-time employee or have left the company, you are paid on the 10th of each month for the salary from the 1st through the 30th of the previous month. (If you miss the 30th, you have to wait until the following month to get paid.)
6- Heated lunch boxes are provided, but the microwave is a little old 😭 and doesn’t heat things very well.
7- From the 2nd to the 16th of every month, you have to help with worship and offerings.
⚠️Traditional shop⚠️The longer you work full-time, the more you learn.
It is recommended that you work a trial period of three days before deciding.
