Workplace reviews and discussion: 鼎恒有限公司

None at all

The position I applied for was clearly an e-commerce assistant. During the interview, they said the work would involve listing and delisting products, inventory control, checkout, and similar tasks.

The HR representative (accountant) said that, based on my résumé, I should already be familiar with those back-end systems and that the actual duties would not differ too much. They said everyone was easy to get along with,

that employees worked regular hours and the company rarely required overtime. Later, I understood why they rarely required overtime: everyone wanted to escape at the end of the workday and did not want to stay any longer.

They also said that salary adjustments would be considered based on performance after completing the probationary period, but the starting salary was extremely low.

The perfect-attendance bonus was NT$3,000, but taking even one day off meant losing the entire amount. In addition to the job duties, employees also had to take turns serving as the duty person.

In summer, uniforms were required Monday through Thursday, while Friday was casual-clothing day. The entire company was filled with the smell of cheap air freshener, and during the interview it was already enough to make me feel woozy...

Everything sounded very good on the surface, but after actually starting work, I found the company unbearably cold. Very few people spoke during working hours,

and even when they did, they spoke extremely quietly. Later, after indirectly asking around, I learned that there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the company,

and the owner's wife holed up in her own little room monitoring everything....

At the beginning, they said the position was an e-commerce assistant, but the actual duties were already at the level of a business development specialist or PM in a "normal" company.

You had to approach e-commerce PMs yourself to propose deals, control prices and quantities, and submit procurement requests to the company yourself when product inventory was insufficient.

Dealing with these duties on a daily basis was already enough to give you a headache, because one person was responsible for more than one platform.

If they thought you had too few platforms, they would keep adding more to your workload, without caring whether you knew how to use the back-end systems.

You also had to constantly deal with sudden price adjustments and inventory-change notices from the company owner.

On top of that, you had to perform the duty person's tasks, especially cleaning the restrooms..... The unlucky ones also had to help operate the main switchboard.

Whoever answered the doorbell had to receive the visitor, and if the phone went unanswered for too long, the accountant would rush out and berate you....

On the surface, they put it nicely, saying they hoped employees could handle the entire process from start to finish, so they could better understand and manage the platforms they were responsible for.

But with salaries like these, they had the nerve to claim they were the highest in the industry. Maybe HR should have done some research into the salaries offered by e-commerce companies!

Your professional skills should not be worn down at a company like this. The duties offer no room for professional growth,

and your time and personal career planning should not be wasted at a company like this banana company. This is truly a company with an unbelievable amount of nonsense.

Friends considering applying or working there should Google the company's reputation first!
