The workplace is located at Exit M8 of Taipei Main Station, with plenty of convenient drink and restaurant options nearby.
On the first day of work, I was informed that the salary would be paid in two installments, and that even the base salary would not meet the minimum wage, with another NT$2,000 deducted for perfect attendance. Setting aside the fact that the salary is split into two payments, the key issue is that the salary is not paid on time. Basically, each month you can only receive the first installment; the second installment is not paid until the following month. They delay it as much as they can. When asked why, the company always replies that accounting cannot calculate it in time, that it is only delayed by a few days, and that they will not fail to pay it. As employees, contacting accounting is extremely difficult—more difficult than even running into the boss. Later, I learned that the salary-delay problem had existed for a long time, and the company had no intention of improving it, resulting in a very high employee turnover rate.
