1. The colleagues are genuinely very nice, and most of them are fairly young, so there isn’t much of an ideological gap.

2. It basically complies with the Labor Standards Act, and all the required leave is provided, but there is no overtime pay.

3. I don’t know about other locations, but I can leave work on time here.

4. There are certain times when you can slack off; you’ll understand once you join.

5. There are often free leftover meals from lectures that you can eat.

1. The headquarters’ various policies are completely baffling. Meetings feel like being treated as an elementary school student and made to take a test; you have to handwrite notes and post them in the group chat or you’ll be formally disciplined. I could let all that slide, but even failing to meet performance targets requires writing a self-review. Seriously?

2. You have to frequently go into schools to hand out flyers. This is extremely easy for students to complain about. Even when someone reads a flyer, most of them still end up being thrown on the floor as trash. It’s not like I want to hand them out—the headquarters gives us so many copies. Every time you walk into a classroom and get stared at as if they’re thinking, “The cram school is here to create more trash again,” who would feel good about that?

3. People with social anxiety shouldn’t apply. You’ll definitely have trouble just knocking on doors to promote lectures, and sometimes you’ll even have to go down the line and ask people one by one. If you’re very talkative, then maybe it could work.

4. As mentioned above, there will definitely be performance pressure. If you don’t want to try a sales-oriented role, don’t come. If you’ve never tried it before, you can first see whether you can endure being publicly executed by the regional performance rankings during the early stage.

5. The hardware and software are so outdated and broken that I thought I’d traveled back to the Qing dynasty. They won’t even buy Office software and insist on using a low-spec version—is this a joke?

6. The training is basically a cake-selling convention. The chairman’s segment is just reminiscing about the old days. If you like eating empty promises, then go ahead and have some more.

7. The salary is close to minimum wage, and there are quite a few miscellaneous tasks you need to know how to handle. For the most part, you still have to rely on bonuses. But if your sales ability is poor, not only will you fail to receive bonuses, you’ll also have to write a whole bunch of “reviews” (“punishments” in practice).

8. There are so many group chats that it feels like a harem-management conference.

9. There are regional meetings every week. If your branch is far from the regional meeting location, you’ll be extremely annoyed.

10. There are many details involved in allocating performance results. If you don’t handle them properly, disputes over performance allocation may arise, and the students you spent so much time recruiting may end up being credited to someone else.

11. There are an absurd number of inexplicable rules. I can’t even think of examples offhand.
