The colleagues are all pretty good.
1. Inconsistent in word and deed. They say one thing and do another. During the interview, they said overtime would only be occasional, but in reality, they expect you to work overtime every day. Even when it is time to clock out, they remind you to clock out, then continue working after clocking out. This way, labor inspections cannot find anything wrong, and they can avoid paying overtime, while employees have no evidence to report them.
2. You also have to do volunteer work on weekends, with no overtime pay. You even have to pay for your own volunteer uniform. Shouldn't the company provide it? If you refuse to participate, you will still be scolded and blamed...
3. Salary increases and decreases are entirely based on the general manager's mood; there is no system at all...
4. You also have to pay for the hats and aprons used in the stores (and they are not new—they are used). When you return them after resigning, if they are damaged, you will not get this money back... Isn't this effectively deducting money from employees?
5. Volunteer work and donations should be voluntary, right? Why have they become semi-compulsory?
6. On the surface, they say we are international and fair, but in reality... they suppress Taiwanese people everywhere and excessively favor their own nationals...
7. The general manager and that senior executive are both extremely disrespectful. I really want to ask them: Didn't their parents teach them manners? They say all day, “I'm teaching you...” Damn, who needs you to teach things that everyone already knows?
8. The Japanese boss is very nice, but the boss does not deal with all this chaotic nonsense.
9. The hypocritical general manager and self-righteous senior executive say they serve the employees, but it is merely empty talk...
There is too much to list. In short, I do not recommend joining this company. You will be worked to death. It is a PUA- and exploitation-driven company, and it is not worth it.
