1. The advantage is that during the interview, the boss paints you a rosy picture, making you feel very happy and excited.
2. A company where you can just coast along.
3. Almost all of the coworkers are nice.
4. It is inside an MRT station, so it is actually very convenient.
1. They deduct money arbitrarily, without giving any reason or an itemized statement.
2. You cannot get sick. As soon as you take sick leave, you have no living expenses. (Because they make arbitrary deductions.)
3. The company only repairs the surveillance cameras. If something in the store breaks or needs replacing, they do not fix it right away and will drag it out for a long time. But as soon as a surveillance camera breaks, someone comes to repair it immediately. (The cameras are not there to monitor customers; they are used to monitor employees.)
4. The working hours are long and there are no breaks. If you keep going to the bathroom, you will be asked, “Where did you go? Why do you keep going out?” (The cameras are used to monitor employees.)
5. There is no performance bonus. The boss says, “Whether you get a bonus depends on whether the boss wants to give you one; it is not something you ask for yourself.” So no matter how hard you work for good performance, you get no money.
6. During the interview, they say there are various allowances and make them sound wonderful, but in the end you receive none of them.
7. Employee turnover is very high because almost everyone was deceived into joining, so they all leave soon afterward.
8. The store manager and assistant store manager only hold supervisory titles and are not very good at handling matters, so there is no use going to them. (Anyone who has been there long enough can become a store manager, regardless of whether they are capable.)
9. Almost all capable employees choose to leave, leaving behind employees who just want to coast along.
10. The higher-level supervisors seem to have nothing to do all day, using surveillance cameras to monitor what employees are doing and even writing reports and holding meetings about it. They do not handle important matters and instead do strange things.
11. The company has a five-star review campaign where employees encourage customers to participate and give them small gifts. There is supposed to be a bonus whenever employees promote it, but later they give out none of the bonuses. If you do not promote the campaign, you will even be singled out and reprimanded. In fact, the company simply does not want to pay the bonuses. Whenever you ask the store manager or assistant store manager about the bonuses, they just reply that the boss has been busy lately and they will ask again. They keep putting it off, and you never get an answer.
12. You always have to ask for your pay stub yourself before they will give it to you. If your pay has been deducted, it will not state the reason for the deduction either. When you ask the store manager, they only fob you off with strange excuses.
13. Employees who genuinely want to earn money cannot be retained, while employees who just want to coast along are treated like treasures.
