Absolutely none.
This company has no policies or SOPs whatsoever. They suddenly add or change things whenever they feel like it, without considering you at all. Everything is done solely for their own convenience. There is no HR department, and the person who interviews you is the owner of the company, who has no professionalism either. The interview is extremely simple because they are desperately short-staffed. The turnover rate is high, so they should be grateful whenever anyone applies. They only want to hire people at the lowest possible salary. Just about anyone can get hired. They originally offered a monthly salary of 27,000, but after everyone left because the pay was too low, they raised it to 32,000 and still think that is already very high, while wondering why they still cannot recruit anyone.
This company consists of three companies. Although all three are clearly the same company, it is unclear why internal administrative items such as petty cash, stamps, toilet paper, stationery, and other office supplies have to be divided so meticulously. They will then haggle over every little expense with you. The senior managers and long-serving employees are all the same. They also make up all kinds of bizarre rules. The owner even prohibits employees from staying in contact with former colleagues, creating a group to criticize the company, or using LINE to chat during work. Whenever the owner encounters something she dislikes, she adds another rule.
The owner will even secretly look at your LINE messages. If she sees you talking with other colleagues about the company’s shortcomings, she will secretly take photos and then spread the matter at meetings with the various supervisors. They have absolutely no respect for other people’s privacy. In addition, they will forget to pay approved overtime and pay it late. Even after being reminded repeatedly, they just say they forgot. Everything only has to be convenient for them.
When you need to talk to them about something, they are impatient. When they need you, they use a semi-coercive and affected tone while pretending to be very polite. No matter what you do, they will always find problems and make things difficult for you in every possible way. They constantly ask you to do many meaningless tasks that they nevertheless believe are efficient. It is an absurd waste of time. They also want you to start work early and leave late, but the key point is that there is never any overtime pay. To work overtime, you apparently have to submit a request before around two or three in the afternoon, which is extremely troublesome.
They always like to call sudden meetings just before the end of the workday, making you stay past your scheduled finishing time—often by at least an hour. The owner is very good at talking about a bunch of meaningless things that provide no help whatsoever for your future work. She only talks about her own matters and wastes your time. They often ask you to do all kinds of pointless tasks and show absolutely no consideration for employees.
When this company distributes year-end bonuses, it should normally do so in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, but it does not. They give you less than they should. They keep saying there will be employee trips, but there never are. The owner also comes down to participate in the lucky draw at the year-end party. Even annual leave is not granted according to the Labor Standards Act; they decide everything themselves. For example, after six months of employment, you should receive three days of annual leave, but they require you to wait another month before you can take it. It is completely ridiculous.
They simply want to make a small number of people do a huge amount of pointless work. In short, the entire company is extremely stingy.
