No pros

The following describes the situation around 7 or 8 years ago; I don't know whether things have improved now.

I suggest referring to this and estimating the situation based on the job postings before deciding whether to apply.

At the time, it was a part-time front-desk administrative position at a classroom in Taipei City.

1. No National Health Insurance

The company's explanation was that part-time employees did not meet the salary threshold for National Health Insurance.

2. Overtime work

Every week, there were shifts exceeding 11 hours. Management said this was normal scheduling, and there was no overtime pay.

Observations about the full-time employees' situation:

1. Due to understaffing, they were assigned to other classrooms and forced to work at locations requiring more than an hour of driving.

2. They worked the same excessive hours without overtime pay, with 10-hour shifts 5–6 days a week.

3. One person was responsible for everything at the entire classroom: the quarterly enrollment-performance pressure, preparing course content and teaching materials, classroom maintenance, and handling all kinds of problems from parents and students, big or small.

4. Low pay. In addition, according to a full-time employee, the bonuses for the three major holidays were deducted from their salary and were merely a formality.

In short, it was a lousy, low-paying job with a lot of work, and the long-term understaffing created a vicious cycle.

At the time, a parent said that the front-desk staff changed every few months, showing the high turnover rate.
