Workplace reviews and discussion: 全家便利商店股份有限公司

None

Several years ago, at the Taichung X Zhong store,

I joined as a master's-level management trainee after an interview. The career path supposedly allowed one to be promoted faster than an on-site store manager.

At the time, the store manager, whose surname was the same as that of a Chinese dynasty, boasted all day about how many coffee machines she could operate at once at the high-speed rail station.

It was laughable—did your mother give birth to you just to operate coffee machines?

She was unbelievably arrogant, but acted like a dog whenever a department head came by.

She assigned you a pile of cleaning and housekeeping tasks.

Still, it's also thanks to your nonstop juggling of those pathetic tricks

that I ended up doing well after leaving, while you couldn't earn as much even after several years.

I've never seen a woman behave like that.

Being a store manager with so little social experience—truly pathetic.

Whenever a department head or other senior official came by, everyone had to stand rigidly at attention.

The whole place had a military culture, so I left after only two months.

My advice to everyone: if you're thinking of going, think it through very carefully.
