1. At a minimum, the company complies with the Labor Standards Act.

2. At headquarters, you can leave work on time, and taking leave is easy.

3. The work is very simple, and some managers are kind.

4. You can have a very relaxed time at work because the system here cannot tell whether you have made an effort. If you do a good job, upper management can barely understand it, and if you do less, it is not obvious.

5. If you do not have any particular expertise, have no need for personal growth, are a simple, overly accommodating person, or can accept an ordinary salary that increases very slowly and want to leave work on time to spend time with your family or pursue a side business, this place is very suitable for settling in for retirement.

1. The owner, some executives, and some teachers are extremely narcissistic, misogynistic, hypocritical, or combative. If their remarks were made public, they could directly trigger a PR crisis and a backlash severe enough to result in a boycott.

2. You can imagine working here as “traveling back in time to serve as an official in a feudal imperial dynasty.” The owner’s life story must be praised and celebrated as the deeds of a great man. The owner is the Son of Heaven, possessing self-acknowledged expertise, experience, and qualifications to judge whatever he wants to judge—from aesthetic design, marketing and advertising, and HR planning, to depression treatment and relationship issues involving breakups and marriage. He has an unquestionable opinion on everything and announces all matters, work-related or otherwise, in large meetings. Each session is at least a 30-minute episode of “Chairman Chiu Wants to Chat.”

In short, the owner is seriously lacking in the mindset that “different fields are like separate mountains,” that people should keep up with the times, and that expertise should be respected.

If you want to bring change or improvement to the company, it is extremely, extremely difficult.

3. Enrollment performance comes first; product improvements, equipment upgrades, and employee benefits are pushed to the back or even ignored.

4. You must provide your own stationery and daily necessities. As long as employees have water to drink, a toilet to use (they have to buy their own toilet paper to wipe themselves; the ultra-progressive, gender-friendly restrooms have all gender stalls right next to one another, allowing you to listen to colleagues’ live bathroom broadcasts), and a basic computer to use (the internet occasionally goes down, and there is no Office), they are expected to be eternally grateful. Except for a small number of executives, all employees are essentially reassigned janitorial staff: unclogging pipes, sweeping, mopping, cleaning air-conditioner vents— they do it all.

5. Endless review reports, punishment writing assignments, and disciplinary actions make employees relive memories of being harassed by incompetent teachers during their school days. There is almost no genuinely helpful employee training or development; it is simply a test of your obedience.
