1. There is a bar counter at the office entrance. Franchisees sometimes come to take classes, and you can have the drinks, coffee, waffles, or taiyaki made during testing.
2. You can also use the coffee machine yourself (if you know how to operate it). Freshly ground, freshly brewed coffee is actually very good.
1. The turnover is high, but in most cases, when someone leaves, their position is not filled. There is more and more work and fewer and fewer people.
2. You cannot report overtime too frequently; otherwise, the boss will think your performance and work ability are poor, which is why you cannot finish “these” tasks within eight hours.
3. There are an incredible number of cockroaches in the office, and one could crawl onto your body or legs at any time. In addition, because of pipe work, there are many uncovered holes in the ceiling, and occasionally cockroaches even fall from them…
4. The boss loves talking about all kinds of past experiences. Whether in meetings or interviews, he keeps repeating himself, and it always takes hours.
(The record was an interview for an operations manager position: I went in at 13:30 and was not let out until 19:45…)
5. You cannot contradict him if he is thin-skinned; otherwise, he will tell you to leave.
6. Almost all the people who remain are old loyalists, but everyone is outwardly cordial while inwardly hostile. One person is constantly calling another a jerk, and that person calls the first one a bitch.
You can only keep quiet. It is best not to get close to either side, lest you get caught in the crossfire.
7. The managers are awful. If you do not win their favor, they will deliberately make things difficult for you, dump all the work on you, and throw you under the bus when something goes wrong, driving you to quit on your own (saving severance pay).
8. You still have to answer calls or get dragged into meetings and miscellaneous tasks during lunch breaks. There is absolutely no way to get a proper rest!
9. The vouchers given for the three major holidays are actually discount coupons, and can only be used at one particular company-operated store.
10. Contacting you via LINE would not be enough; you are also forced to use QQ. They say it is to keep work and personal life separate, but in reality, both apps keep sending messages throughout the weekend!
11. ...There are far too many things to complain about. I strongly recommend thinking twice before coming here (unless you are Superman or a god).
