None

I highly do not recommend working at this company. The turnover rate is extremely high.

There is no overtime pay. Overtime hours can only be compensated with time off if you apply for overtime before 3 p.m. each day and your supervisor approves it. Otherwise, even if you simply work too slowly and end up staying late, you still have to submit the compensatory time-off hours to your supervisor for approval in advance; you can only take the leave after it has been approved.

Employees must clock in and out four times a day. Missing even one clock-in or clock-out results in a NT$100 deduction. Attendance bonuses make up a disproportionately large part of the salary, and money is deducted here and there.

Work messages are still sent late at night and during holidays, requiring employees to respond. In their daily work, colleagues also have to handle the boss’s personal errands, such as booking restaurants, competing for venues at municipal sports stadiums, and paying fines.

During the probationary period after joining the company, I participated in a major event. The boss personally promised during a meeting that bonuses would also be paid to employees still in their probationary period. However, several months passed without any payment. When I asked accounting, I learned that the boss had told them there was no intention of paying bonuses to probationary employees.
