Workplace reviews and discussion: 三民輔考資訊有限公司

For the first two months, they only paid a daily wage. Anyone looking for a part-time or transitional job can work there temporarily and resign as soon as they find another job.

Eight or nine tenths of every workday is spent on telemarketing, and the calling lists are difficult to work with and outdated—expired lists that have already been called to death. One student even begged me to delete their information, saying they had been called every week for the past two years and really were no longer planning to take the civil service exam.

The turnover rate is extremely high. From the time I joined until now, interviews have never stopped. Job applicants come and go like disposable tableware. I have seen far more employees resign than people I have met on dating apps. I heard that the southern branch is having even more trouble recruiting.

The salary is pitifully low at 28K, and they forcibly deducted two days of leave so we had to come to work. During the first three months, it was basically impossible to earn any commission from enrollment because we were still in training. As a result, my house almost ended up being auctioned off. The 40K salary I initially negotiated was also cut to 35K in the third month, with them saying that my performance was insufficient. How could anyone sign up after being contacted through a pile of outdated phone numbers?

The supervisors are always complaining that there are too many pointless meetings and that they cannot finish their work.

The consultation counter in the storefront is reasonably tidy, but the classrooms, employee break room, restroom, and other areas are beyond merely dirty and messy. Dirt and clutter can be cleaned up, but can you imagine a break room completely covered in mold damage?

The table I cleaned would have a layer of dust on it the next day. I can understand being told not to eat at the counter, but I cannot eat in a space full of dust.

There is absolutely no basic equipment: no refrigerator (because they say anything unrelated to enrollment cannot be purchased), no water dispenser (because they say one cannot be purchased unless the number of students exceeds a certain threshold, and if the student count is below the required ratio after purchasing one, the filter cannot be replaced), and no microwave (because it is an old building and they are afraid the wiring might catch fire).

The rats, cockroaches, and spiders have already made me numb. I comfort myself by thinking that at least being able to bring pets to work is not bad.

HR said at the time that there would be gifts for the three major holidays, but I received nothing for the Mid-Autumn Festival or Dragon Boat Festival. When I asked my supervisor, they said the company had not made any money, and also told me not to expect a year-end bonus. I was truly disheartened.

They also said that even they had never gone on the employee trip, so I should not expect too much. It seems they want to leave too; they were quite direct about it.

I originally wanted to call HR to ask whether what my supervisor said was true, but I heard that HR were also new employees, disposable like me. There was no point making things difficult for them, so I let it go.

I sincerely advise job seekers considering joining Sanmin to think twice.
