1. During inventory counts, the general manager personally comes down to participate. It is rare for a company’s general manager or department heads to personally take on this kind of frontline work. (Everyone takes turns, limited to half a day at a time, since they still have their own work to handle.)
2. The work environment at the headquarters is not bad. (The company is expected to move to a new office building next year.)
3. The HR staff are very nice and polite.
4. Although the supervisor looks very serious, they are reasonable and can handle matters well. In general, the supervisor provides quite a lot of room for development, and is genuinely a pretty good person.
5. General Manager Hsiung and the vice president speak quite gently and politely. (Of course, this is my personal experience. At least, I have never been yelled at. When I encountered problems, General Manager Hsiung taught me patiently and gently, and when there were areas that needed improvement, the vice president was quite supportive.)
6. Although I am still inexperienced, the job really is not as terrifying as the senior colleagues described.
7. If you are just looking for stability, I think this company is genuinely worth staying at.
8. As mentioned above regarding inventory counts, the company provides corresponding rewards and also offers drinks.
9. Most colleagues are quite kind.
1. As the senior colleagues mentioned, the turnover rate is quite high. Most employees are newcomers, and relatively few stay for 3–5 years.
2. Since most employees are newcomers, many benefits and similar matters were somewhat unclear during the interview. The interviewer said there would be a salary adjustment, but whether that will actually happen is unknown.
3. Because of the high turnover rate, there are gaps in the work, with no one to train you or hand things over. Having to clean up after predecessors or deal with problems caused by other reasons is a real possibility. However, I think this varies from person to person and can be considered both an advantage and a disadvantage: if you handle things well, it becomes an opportunity to build your own experience.
4. The factory’s working environment is really somewhat... poor, but the company is already planning to reorganize and improve it.
Summary: The main disadvantages of this company are its fairly high turnover rate, unclear benefits, and relatively high uncertainty. Other than that, I genuinely think it is fine.
The work environment is okay.
The salary for internal staff is not too stingy.
The turnover rate in the sales department is extremely high. During the few months I was there, a great many sales employees came and went.
As a result, handovers were incomplete, and there were even many gaps. I often had to clean up messes left behind.
The sales manager was prone to losing control emotionally. Although not a bad person at heart, they frequently lost control, affecting the department’s staff and work, and offending quite a few customers.
The company has too many internal regulations. The procedures make many tasks cumbersome and waste a lot of time on process-related formalities.
Every office floor is very quiet, and there are even notices on the walls prohibiting people from speaking too loudly and limiting phone calls to no more than five minutes, among other rules.
The company’s turnover rate is alarmingly high. You can see new employees every day, and every week you hear about someone from some department resigning.
There is almost no room for salary increases, and there is no salary-adjustment system. I don’t know about the year-end bonus because very few people stay with the company for more than a year, so there was no one to ask. During the interview, they gave a vague response about this.
The company environment is very clean
The interviewer candidly said that there are no SOPs or instruction manuals here (meaning there is no system in place).
You will take on many different tasks (sorting goods, shipping, packing, etc.).
They repeatedly emphasized the importance of having enthusiasm for the work.
When the workload gradually decreases, it means the company no longer needs you.
When asked whether I might get married in the next few years,
I answered that I would not. The interviewer assumed I was single
and said, “You can also live very well while single.”
It felt a little strange....
Although I thought the company environment was very good after the interview,
I felt that the job responsibilities and the interview process were not a good fit for me.

1. The company is run by a married couple. The boss’s surname is Xiong, and his wife is nominally the foreign trade manager.
2. There is no real system or structure; I once saw 3–4 people leave in a single week.
3. If they are unhappy, they can ask you to leave at any time.
4. Everyone, regardless of position, has to take turns sweeping the office.
5. Employees are treated as disposable chopsticks.
6. For assignments abroad, the company is only willing to pay for a flight from Taoyuan to Ningbo. Those who live elsewhere must cover the difference themselves (because the ticket is charged to the boss’s wife’s card).
7. As someone who has been through it, I recommend not wasting your time, because you will want to change jobs after only a few months anyway.
