1. The heads of each department and the boss are actually nice, easy to get along with, and willing to teach. I mean the managers and the boss—excluding the boss’s wife.
2. The office environment is genuinely quite good, after all, you have to be on camera at any time.
3. Overtime pay is provided; they won’t short you on this.
4. The spring banquet/annual year-end party has pretty good food and fun activities.
5. There is a device next to the toilet that plays running-water sounds, although pressing it is even more awkward
Everyone, please think twice before joining! Think twice!
1. The boss’s wife is extremely rude. Just like the person above said, she requires everyone to nod and greet colleagues when they see them, yet she herself speaks extremely disrespectfully—even her daughter is the same.
She often says: “People who aren’t familiar with me usually think I’m very XX, but actually I’m doing this for your own good. If the boss sees this, he’ll definitely be very angry.” The facts often prove her completely wrong.
2. Senior colleagues act like seasoned veterans and scroll on their phones all day when they have free time. Although there is relatively little to do during slow periods, if you finish everything yourself while the other person scrolls on their phone all day, they still get upset. They also have very double standards. Previously, the same situation was always handled with method A, but they may suddenly tell you that you can’t do it that way and must switch to method B. When you ask, they reply, “I remember telling you before.” Yes, it was a verbal announcement—if you happened not to be at your desk when it was announced, that’s your fault! If an apology to a customer is needed, you handle it yourself.^^
3. Announcements are often changed from one moment to the next. And as mentioned above, after the change, they only tell you verbally!
Once they become familiar with you, they love ordering people around. Whatever they tell you to do, you do it. Their tone is: “Then you go take care of this,” or “Go talk to the customer.” They get off easy, and it’s never their problem when someone gets yelled at.
4. Every department loves shirking responsibility. When a customer complaint comes in, Department A pushes it to Department B, and Department B pushes it to another department. There is never a proper solution.
5. Colleagues can go without speaking if they can help it. Everyone communicates through private messages. People who like quiet and prefer working on their own can consider it, but once you become familiar with everyone, you’ll wish you hadn’t.^^
6. Although the office environment is nice, they can’t seem to retain a cleaner! After joining, you’ll be paired with someone from another department to take turns as the duty staff. Not to mention taking out the trash and scrubbing toilets: if there is dust in the corners, grime beneath the toilet, or a clogged sink, the boss’s wife will come over and complain that everyone needs to do a better job. 👍🏻 Cleaners usually quit after coming for about a week.
7. There are lots of miscellaneous chores. The customer service department is often ordered to handle the boss’s wife’s errands, such as buying coffee and tidying the livestream room. A few days ago, we were told to organize socks. Those socks hadn’t been washed for at least a year—they had been worn by the models in rotation for photo shoots and then stuffed there. They were so smelly and dirty that I almost threw up my breakfast.
8. Although they do pay overtime, the overtime is often for very pointless things, such as a manager’s birthday, the boss’s birthday, waiting for year-end bonuses to be distributed (in cash, with the counting only starting that day), and so on. Completely pointless.
9. Events such as the spring banquet and year-end party require you to drink alcohol and play games in order to receive substantial prize money. If that bothers you, avoid them.
10. Although the products are supposedly designed in-house, their quality is actually terrible. They are made by cheap manufacturers in mainland China and shipped back. Any reported defect is never investigated, and there is no solution when suppliers delay deliveries. The solution is to tell you to hide comments on the post. So cool.
11. When senior employees tell you to do something, just do it. Having an opinion means you’re rebelling against them!
12. The work allocation is very strange. For example, uploading products is handled by the customer service department: after the design department fixes the images, customer service uploads them. The reason is that the design department uses Apple computers and can’t download the ERP system.^^
13. To clear inventory, products marked down to 50% or sold as mystery bags cannot be returned by customers, which clearly violates the Consumer Protection Act. If a customer simply says it’s illegal, they will let them return it—but they will add the customer to a blacklist because they consider them a difficult customer.
14. In all of the unreasonable situations above, when customers call to yell and ask for a supervisor, the supervisor is usually not at their desk. The senior employees won’t help you. They’ll say, “No one wants to take that call,” meaning you have to figure out how to deal with them yourself.^^
There are too many horror stories to list. Job seekers, please think twice!
