Workplace reviews and discussion: 聯郃國際有限公司

The company is small, with only five people, and there are no cliques. There are no more than five visual-aid suppliers in Taiwan, so the market is very small and there is little competition. As a result, there is not too much pressure. Of course, salaries are also lower than those in general industries. Since we sell assistive devices to blind people, sales are primarily conducted through proactive visits, so business trips and travel are frequent. The company provides vehicles for transportation, fuel, parking fees, and accommodation expenses on a reimbursement basis.

There are almost 2–4 business-trip days every week, and working on holidays is often required. The company operates as a one-person dictatorship, with the boss having the final say. There is no overtime pay, holiday work does not come with increased pay, paydays that fall on holidays are postponed, and weekly working hours can easily exceed 50 hours. Basically, the company does not really comply with the Labor Standards Act.
