Workplace reviews and discussion: 龍騰文化事業股份有限公司

Base salary of NT$30,000 plus a NT$5,000 allowance, but during the interview they never tell you that after you start work, your supervisor will ask you to rent a company vehicle from the company, deducting NT$2,500. You also have to pay for your own commuting fuel, which means you effectively lose NT$4,000 per month.

The company does not provide a laptop; you have to buy one yourself. There is a subsidy, but it is only NT$500 per month.

The supervisor loves to make grand promises. The bonuses they mention are based on the top-performing territories held by long-time employees, so please apply a 60–80% discount yourself. Only continue considering the job if you can accept that. They will also boast that their company’s *systems* are well established and better than those of their competitors, but in reality it is just the same brainwashing routine as multi-level marketing: only positive things about the company may be said, and other voices are not tolerated. The system is “well established” when it comes to taking money from employees—clocking in and out is also highly systematized, using the system to take advantage of employees. Supervisors use the same tactic to take credit with the boss for saving the company so much in bonuses and other costs.

There is no need to consider a sales position here; going there would only be a waste of your life. Among publishers, Nani, Hanlin, or the Brother-affiliated Kang Hsuan would all be much better.

Although the position is called a sales department role, in practice they just want you to work as a delivery driver, bill collector, logistics warehouse mover, and inventory handler. You have to organize all the textbooks and exam papers for the company yourself, and use an extremely outdated system to re-enter customers’ orders one by one. The current manager, Huang Hsien-Tsung, is also incompetent; all day long, he only pretends to be busy handling trivial matters that cost less than NT$100.
