The location is beside the Wugu Roundabout road. There are only a few parking spaces along the road, so you have to look for one. Before entering, you need to exchange your ID for a visitor pass (about 5 minutes). HR thoughtfully reminds you to arrive early to do this.

The interview takes about half an hour. There is no test; you only need to fill in your personal information. HR will ask whether you brought a 2-inch photo to attach to the personal-information form.

The work environment is good, and the job covers both internal and external accounting, so it seems like a place where you can learn a lot. On the first day of every month (whether a weekday or holiday), you have to go to the stores to conduct inventory. Holidays are paid as overtime. Meal expenses are included in the salary structure, and the company follows the Labor Standards Act.

I think the wide range of work responsibilities is reasonable, and the work itself is acceptable. However, the salary listed on the job posting was NT$30,000–40,000, while the actual offer discussed was NT$29,000. Even after passing the three-month probation period, there is no guarantee of a NT$3,000 raise. Although they say there will definitely be an increase if your performance meets the standard, I believe I can work hard enough to meet it—but what counts as the “standard” is subjective. Also, if the company thinks someone is unsuitable, why waste time keeping them on? I have personally experienced jobs where the probation period seemed endless, and you had to submit a performance review and express your intention to resign every six months before they would consider adjusting your salary. It really makes you feel pessimistic and as though there is no future.
