Most of it complies with the Labor Standards Act, which is probably the only advantage.
The gifts for the three major holidays are unsold company gift boxes, which can save you quite a bit of money on purchases. Great.
The year-end bonus depends on operating conditions (the latest news is that losses have reached half of the capital).
1. I said most of it. The unwritten rule for overtime is to take compensatory leave whenever possible; you only get the option to cash it out readily when you resign.
2. Salaries are much lower than those for comparable positions elsewhere. Generating electricity through love may surpass everything else, but it will never be more tangible than the number in your bank account.
3. Unless you don't need money, live nearby, and have plenty of free time, don't go work there. But if you don't need money, why waste time going to the company? Are you a masochist?
4. As a glove-puppetry fan, you are treated like royalty when spending money; after joining the company, you're just an employee. Since you're an employee, don't have fantasies like “I can change the company once I get in” or “I'll be different from everyone else.” The company is interested in your fresh liver, not your youthful ideas.
5. If you want to speed up your disillusionment with the glove-puppetry industry, feel free to work there. It's an excellent way to quit being a fan.

8. When choosing between innovation and reform, the company chose tradition.
9. As a business, I sincerely recommend choosing another company.
10. By “another company,” I mean a regular company—not the one next door. That would be an even deeper descent into hell.
