The colleagues are nice, and the workload is not heavy.

1. The more difficult your personality is to deal with, the higher your position is. Everyone hated all the managers I previously worked under because they spoke harshly and were the royal family's lapdogs. Yet they ended up complaining to upper management, making the whole store chaotic. There were one-on-one meetings—did things get better? No!

2. The manager deals with people rather than issues. As long as the boss is unhappy with you, part-time employees' shifts will be cut to the minimum. That's why none of the part-time employees stay for long. Only when they are finally short-staffed do they complain to their colleagues.

3. If the manager says you did something wrong, then you did something wrong. After being summoned for a meeting with a higher-level manager, you will discover that, for the sake of performance, the managers above them will say, without distinguishing right from wrong, “It's all your fault” and “You need to be more considerate of others.” Simply put, they cannot get rid of the toxic elements, so management protects management.

4. Want to join as a full-time employee? Don't even think about it!! Salary adjustments are slower than the government's. Some people have worked there for more than 10 years and still earn less than NT$30,000. Just as other comments have said, there are a bunch of strange line items in the pay (probably to evade taxes...)

5. How long are they going to keep pretending to have the image of a Japanese company? It's just a family business pretending to be something else. Many things clearly need replacing—for example, the pictures customers see on the tables are all laminated, even though they are intended for single use. Some stores' pictures also have copyright issues (feel free to play “Where Is the Copyright?”).

6. A happy company? Go ask which employee would say they are happy. The employees voted it that way, so why can't they recruit anyone? I hope the company will think about this.

7. A reminder to students in work-study partnership programs: once you sign up, your diploma is in the manager's hands. As far as I know, two people were pressured to leave and then had to suspend their studies. Also, no matter where you live, if the company wants to transfer you somewhere, you have to go (this applies to full-time employees too).

8. One manager would even order part-time employees to buy things for them during work hours, liked criticizing absent colleagues during meetings, and would spread remarks about other colleagues to isolate people they disliked. They also forged documents to make them look like notices from the building manager. Honestly, their ability to get things done is mediocre; they cannot manage a team and only nag while anxiously walking around, making themselves look busy. Without them, they just wander around aimlessly.
