1. You can drink free milk, coffee, and orange juice. But there are also strange rules, such as not being allowed to be the last person to finish pouring from a full bottle—you must leave a tiny bit in the bottle. I have no idea what that means.

2. Employees can purchase products at a discounted price, but most of them are available at the Taipei headquarters. At the factory, you can only buy products such as milk, orange juice, and coffee.

3. Free lunch, but it is not very tasty. Almost all of my colleagues bring their own lunch.

4. The dairy farmers are easy to get along with. The biggest problem is the supervisor. Although it is enjoyable to visit the dairy farmers, no one will help handle the office paperwork. In other words, even when you are on a business trip, you still have to do your routine work. The supervisor even required employees after they started working to bring their own computers, despite not mentioning this during the interview, so they could work overtime while on business trips (?)

My position was dairy farmer support adviser.

I was responsible for more than ten dairy farms in total.

There was only one person responsible for this position.

The workload was very heavy.

Long-distance driving was required because the dairy farms were scattered from Hsinchu to Pingtung.

Every business trip had a very tight schedule.

Gas and accommodation expenses were subsidized, but meals were not.

In addition, this job required handling accounting.

I had to close the accounts on the 15th and at the end of every month.

I was also responsible for inspection work, and the supervisor mentioned that I would later be responsible for some purchasing duties as well.

One person was made to do the work of three, but the salary was not adjusted.

It was truly exploitative.

1. There was no overtime pay or compensatory leave. The supervisor said it was a responsibility-based position.

2. Reports had to be sent to the dairy farmers every day, year-round.

3. The supervisor was very nagging. If you raised an opinion that differed from his ideas, he would keep saying that your logic was wrong and then lecture you for an hour. He was a time thief.

4. They said there would be a salary adjustment after three months, but in the end there was none, on the grounds that there was no concrete change that could be made. They also did not provide a deadline for another review. The supervisor said there would be no salary adjustment indefinitely.

5. Every business trip exceeded working hours. The average workday was around 13 hours because driving time had to be included.

6. There were many tasks and not enough staff. When everyone was exhausted, the supervisor demanded that everyone exchange jobs, because then, if someone took leave, another person could do all of that person’s work (?). At first, I thought he meant only handing over routine daily tasks, but he meant completely switching jobs (?). However, the colleagues had different areas of expertise when they were hired, so this was truly absurd. When colleagues were unwilling, the supervisor even threatened them by saying the company would lay people off. He also held private meetings to sow discord and damage relationships among colleagues. He was truly a manipulative schemer.

7. The atmosphere at the factory was very oppressive. The supervisor said that all food factories were like this. The factory’s hierarchy was severe; if you accidentally forgot to greet a high-ranking supervisor, you would be called in and reprimanded.

There is much more, but I will not list everything one by one. In short, I absolutely do not recommend it.
