1. Upscale commercial offices in Xinyi District, with many foreign representative offices and companies based there. Gifts and gift money are provided during the Lunar New Year and the three major holidays.
2. The colleagues are all easy to get along with. There are no problems with senior employees bullying newcomers, and they are willing to train new employees.
3. Three rotating eight-hour shifts, with the shift changing once a week.
1. The full set of uniform and accessories costs over NT$3,000 and must be paid for by the employee. After completing six months, it is half price; it is free only after completing one year.
2. Three days of training, with a daily transportation allowance of NT$600. The probationary period is three months, with a salary of NT$32,000–33,000; from the third month onward, it is fixed at NT$35,000 with no raises unless promoted to a supervisory position with an additional allowance. The year-end bonus is one month’s salary.
3. Regardless of whether the month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days, there are only five days off. There is no cash compensation for special leave or annual leave.
4. On weekdays, break time is one to two hours depending on the post. Duties are varied, including guarding the main gate, monitoring the driveway, handling registration and badge replacement at the service desk, controlling the entry and exit of people and vehicles, and patrolling. You also have to wear a peaked cap, which makes it easy to sweat. The overnight shift is, like holidays, spent almost entirely standing post and idling. On holidays, apart from a half-hour meal break, you are standing post almost the entire time and cannot do anything else.
5. There are many tenant organizations and personnel, so memorization takes considerable effort. In particular, when assigned to the driveway, you need to memorize the license plate numbers of foreign representatives and company bosses and help open their car doors.
6. The client places considerable importance on politeness; you must salute all senior executives of the tenant organizations when you see them. Some employees look down on security guards and have poor manners and attitudes; staying in the job long term will certainly cultivate patience and self-discipline.
7. When staffing is short, you may be asked to work four hours of overtime to provide support, but this does not happen often.
