None
1. They only recruit young people because they’re easy to deceive and susceptible to manipulation.
2. People with their own opinions are not welcome here. It’s just like Squid Game: if you don’t follow the company’s rules and ideas, you’ll be “taken out.”
3. If you’re planning to have children, please don’t set foot in this hell. They will kill your child regardless of how many months pregnant you are.
(Story: An employee—also my colleague—was asked to climb stairs and carry heavy items onto shelves during her pregnancy. When she refused, a manager surnamed Lin even said, “How are we supposed to count you as one unit of manpower then?” Afterward, the employee was asked to voluntarily resign once her pregnancy became apparent; otherwise, she would affect the company’s image at the store. She was even told to stand up when sitting in the kitchen using company equipment. In addition, this company has another cloud-based store that only serves delivery and online-reservation customers and is relatively less demanding, yet they still refused to let employees transfer there. Under this pressure, the employee lost her baby. Manager Lin then went around claiming that the employee had been paid severance, when in fact she didn’t receive a penny. There was no apology either. The company also suppressed the matter to protect Manager Lin. After the Labor Bureau closed the case, a senior headquarters executive even called our injured pregnant colleague, with an attitude of, “What can you do to me? What do you want?”
4. People who want to use the restroom in peace should stay away. The two restrooms are shared with customers, and there is no employee restroom. If you need to go, you have to queue with a bunch of customers, build rapport with them, and stare at each other. Of course, if you want to use the restroom properly, customers outside will keep knocking on the door!
5. If you want to eat in peace, please don’t come here either. The kitchen doesn’t even have an exhaust fan, so you can enjoy a sauna while eating—never experienced that before, right? Super cool~ It’ll let you eat without gaining weight! You also have to keep asking coworkers to let you pass back and forth while eating. Maybe they’re trying to help us digest better!
6. New employees can learn a lot very quickly. Manager Lin once served as a store manager, but surprisingly, when asked three questions, they didn’t know the answer to any of them—even when making an extra mousse, they had to ask other employees where to put it. It makes you wonder how they managed to hold this position. They also dump everything on others. I don’t think they actually don’t know how—surely they’re testing us! Hey~ I’m testing you~
7. If your family is wealthy and you just want to experience working in the service industry, welcome. You won’t receive the basic benefits normally given on the three major holidays, but anything that goes wrong will be your fault.
8. People who intend to take annual leave shouldn’t come. They’ll tell you to give one month’s advance notice, and whether you can actually take the leave will depend on staffing that day. If there aren’t enough people, you can’t take it. Then, when you come to work, you’ll see the store manager sitting in the customer seating area using a computer (very busy—opening Line and constantly replying, and also busy discussing things with ChatGPT). You won’t even have the heart to interrupt them!
9. If you like eating “pies,” you can come! There are lots of big pies to eat. If you don’t eat them, they’ll even invite you to a private meeting and ask you to eat more pies.
10. If you don’t want to become a store manager, don’t come. Once you reach the assistant manager position, you have to start learning everything involved in being a store manager. If you’re even slightly inattentive, you’ll hear the store manager say: “My business is your business!” Wow~ You get the store manager’s salary while I do the work for you—yet the moment you complain, you’ll hear: “You have to stand on the company’s side. You have to stand straight, not crooked!”
That’s all for now. There’s too much to type, and my hands are getting sore. If you have these preferences, feel free to give it a try; if you don’t have much of a life expectancy, you can skip it for now. The above is everything I personally saw during my three years working at this store. Everyone can make their own judgment!
During that period, I did accumulate quite a bit of experience, since I had to figure out and handle many things on my own. When problems arose, there were not many resources or systems at the organizational level to provide support. Many matters reached dead ends and became trapped in an unsolvable cycle.
In terms of interactions with clients, the approach was short-sighted and focused on immediate gains. When problems occurred, responsibility was often pushed away, making the partnership prone to friction.
The internal management culture was also rather distinctive. There were many promises and idealistic visions, but in practice, the gap was often considerable. Sometimes it made people wonder whether they were truly expected to grow or merely being asked to keep giving more.
Those who worked hard often took on more responsibility, but the reward system lacked clarity and stability. Some policies and standards could be “adjusted very promptly” at critical moments, which inevitably led to disappointment.
In such an environment, staying for a long time did not necessarily mean that someone had the best work performance. Instead, interpersonal skills and rhetorical tactics seemed to be the key to staying.
The toilet has a bidet seat, which is pretty nice, but everyone has to take turns cleaning it. The office environment is fairly good, but the seating is cramped and the desks are very close to one another.
The policies change as suddenly as the leaders’ personalities. Promised policies can suddenly turn into empty promises, or even be abandoned altogether later on. Employees are treated as calculations on an abacus.
The manager is very good at using people. After you put in effort and are no longer of any use, everyone becomes disposable. They purchase various insurance policies; no matter how much you have contributed, in her eyes you are merely a tool to be used. Once you submit your resignation, the company immediately says goodbye.
If your goal is to learn how to brainwash others, this will be a crash course, full of talking points and schemes.
The positive reviews here are about the same as the positive reviews on Google. You will be able to tell which ones are genuine and which ones are fake.
The quality of the tea leaves is about the same as the quality of the company’s internal culture.
If you want to learn about double standards, communism, and brainwashing, you’re welcome to join us—we have plenty of experience.
Here, your writing will become extremely good. You have to write reflections every day, mainly about how wonderful the company is. If your writing isn’t sufficiently flattering, your supervisor will take an interest in you. The more sycophantic, the better.
The supervisor has double standards, so you’d do well to learn from her in how to conduct yourself. She’ll badmouth the boss while currying favor with him, smile and act friendly normally, then push the blame onto you when something happens. You can learn many tactics from her. The supervisor is the apple of the boss’s eye and the boss’s loyal lapdog.
An office environment comparable to the palace intrigues of *Empresses in the Palace*, where everyone is either Consort Hua or An Lingrong. Come here to be a palace maid—clean toilets, replace filter cartridges, climb ladders to wash the air conditioners. It’s also a fine way to experience life as a servant.
In short, if you want to learn how to set others up and be set up by others, this is the place for you.
When problems arise, they refuse to confront them. The company’s first response is to deal with the person who raised the problem.
1. You can achieve further growth here because you’ll learn how to protect yourself in an all-female environment.
2. You’ll develop great perseverance because your supervisor doesn’t know how to manage things and will hand their work over to you. When you raise questions, they’ll tell you: “My business is your business!”
3. If you become a supervisor, you can schedule yourself very easy shifts, giving new hires more opportunities to learn! You can even change the hours yourself, but first you have to become a “company-approved” supervisor.
4. You’ll become very tolerant of everything because you’ll consider even having a place to rest a luxury.
5. There’s a beverage allowance every month, but you have to clock in 10 minutes early every day and write and share work reflections every day (you can’t criticize the company; you can only write positive things. When you point out facts, your supervisor will immediately “show concern” for you.). I thought I had traveled through time to a feudal society to write formulaic essays?
6. You’ll become a responsible person. When there are negative reviews on Google, you don’t need to explain yourself to your supervisor; you only need to apologize, admit it, say, “I’ll improve,” and take responsibility for all the mistakes. If you’re too eager to explain, you might become someone the company deems unsuitable for the job.
7. You’ll become more familiar with the Labor Standards Act because your supervisor may not know much about it.
8. You’ll pay even more attention to your every move because the company places great importance on its brand image—so much so that it hires an image-management company to conduct classes just to tell you that “the customer is always right.”
9. Going to work every day will become extremely interesting. The promotion system can be changed on a whim, without any supporting procedures. The most direct impact of the promotion system is on salary increases. When you raise questions, they’ll tell you: “Your salary calculation is based on the old system!” But in reality, regardless of whether it’s the old or new system, it just means you’ll receive the same unchanged salary while doing more interesting things. It’s also possible that your salary-adjustment approval form was forgotten and never submitted by your supervisor. Remember to remind her!
The company doesn’t think there’s anything that needs improvement
The training is fairly comprehensive.
The relationships between departments seem to be quite poor. If someone makes a mistake or fails to handle something thoroughly, they are often directly posted in the group chat for public criticism. If another department considers something inappropriate during the course of work, colleagues from that department also often address it face-to-face in a very unpleasant tone, even when speaking to newcomers. It feels as though everyone has become accustomed to communicating in this confrontational manner, creating a very disharmonious work environment.
1. The office environment is beautiful because we spend 10–15 minutes cleaning every morning, with different duties rotated monthly.
2. New hires can learn a lot because the supervisors will always tell you when they don't know something.
3. You become more careful in how you treat people because other departments may complain to senior management about you when they get upset over something minor.
4. You become more meticulous in handling matters because the internal systems are complicated and tedious, with different tasks and processes further subdivided.
5. You become faster at getting things done because the system SOPs change from one day to the next.
6. You learn to be flexible because your work arrangements are frequently interrupted and interspersed with various miscellaneous tasks.
7. You develop a stronger mentality because the supervisor will not stand up for subordinates.
8. You become very good at complimenting people because only those who flatter others get rewarded.
9. You develop excellent execution skills because upper management only knows how to give orders.
10. You become very good at passing the buck because everyone else is very good at passing the buck.
11. You learn teamwork because they say they'll discuss things together, but in the end, the credit goes to whoever is good at flattery.
12. You become very good at dealing with vendors because upper management will say there's no budget and ask you to haggle for money.
13. You learn to appreciate things because there are no bonuses for the three major holidays, only one rice dumpling.
14. You become eager to learn because the boss occasionally holds classes to give lengthy talks about (his own) philosophy on life.
15. You become the boss's favorite kind of employee: highly servile, because you get more tasks but no more pay.
16. You become skilled at dealing with all kinds of people because you're wonderful when they need you, but once they don't, they'll abandon you after crossing the river.
17. You start going to bed and getting up very early because arriving early ten times for ten minutes earns you an extra $150 in beverage credit.
18. You become very good at allocating a budget because you only get $300–$450 in monthly beverage credit, with no employee discount.
19. You feel relaxed because there are no year-end parties or spring banquets, only a Christmas dinner.
20. You find it interesting because you might be called in to support a retail store while on vacation!
What you learn from the job is a matter of personal perspective; feel free to give it a try.
Pros
1. The company’s office environment is really great, with an open-plan workspace and a glass skylight. Going to work every day feels very pleasant.
2. Compared with other companies, the company offers better-than-industry pay, along with a performance evaluation mechanism and a comprehensive salary-increase system. There is also an annual year-end bonus.
3. Everyone has the opportunity to showcase themselves. Work reflections can be seen by the chairman, allowing employees to directly communicate their work situations and making it easier to highlight their strengths.
4. The chairman is very approachable and often chats with everyone in the company group, which feels very friendly. The chairman also frequently shares classic old songs and sings with colleagues, so there is not too much pressure. Where else could you find such a lovely chairman?
5. The company is preparing for an IPO, and its systems are gradually being improved. Its prospects look promising, with unlimited development potential.
6. The chairman is quite compassionate. I remember that during the pandemic, the chairman sponsored epidemic-prevention supply warehouses, and also supported small-scale farmers when agricultural products were oversupplied.
Cons
1. Since the company is preparing for an IPO, its internal processes are relatively cautious. Some colleagues may need some time to adapt.
2. There are relatively few restaurants near the company, which may be slightly inconvenient for colleagues who enjoy good food.
I worked here for some time, but due to new plans for my life, my whole family moved to Taipei. Although I have already left, I wanted to share some thoughts about my work experience.
Pros:
Company development:
I previously worked in the overseas development department. In the year before I left, the brand was expanding overseas at a fairly rapid pace. I heard from former colleagues that there are now branches in Russia and San Francisco as well. The number of stores continues to grow, and there should be more than 100 worldwide. The brand has development potential. Another brand, Chicha San Chen, also partnered with FamilyMart. I recall that they even launched popsicles, and its development also seems to be going quite well.
Salary:
Compared with the industry standard, I think the salary offered by the company is quite good. There is a performance evaluation every month, as well as an annual individual performance evaluation, and there is also a year-end bonus. The system is comprehensive.
Female-friendly:
The company is quite friendly toward women. I personally saw several occasions when a colleague’s child was sick and the colleague simply brought the child to work. The bosses did not show any displeasure at all and even asked about the child’s condition. The company is also very friendly toward pregnant employees.
Company benefits:
Every month, employees receive beverage vouchers that can be used to get free drinks. Having a drink when work is stressful is very relaxing.
There are prize drawings during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas, and the bosses occasionally provide additional benefits.
I used to find the company’s cumbersome procedures quite frustrating. For example, any expense, regardless of the amount, required submitting receipts for reimbursement. Now that I work at a smaller company, I realize that my previous company actually handled this aspect quite well. Tracking every expense is quite important for managing the company’s finances.
A former marketing employee at Fangyuan happened to come across the former company online and decided to share some thoughts about my time before leaving.
1. Although we are a bubble tea company, we get to work on quite a variety of projects. This is especially true for marketing, making it a great place to build up experience. From marketing to operations, you can explore things very comprehensively. As long as you have the ability and ideas, there is plenty of room to make the most of your strengths and develop your expertise!
2. At the company, we wrote work journals every day. At first, I was a little resistant to this, but after getting used to it, I found it was actually a very good habit. It allowed me to clearly review what I had accomplished during the day and plan my subsequent progress. In particular, it enabled us to immediately report problems encountered at work, so supervisors and the boss could understand the actual situation right away. Supervisors would provide assistance when needed. I have continued this habit even after leaving the company.
3. Based on online reviews and what former colleagues who had worked there shared, the company used to have book clubs. From what I heard, they sounded more like team-based group discussions, with supervisors and the boss also sharing their perspectives. It actually sounded pretty good. It seemed that different departments could also gain a better understanding of one another’s thoughts. However, this was no longer available when I was at the company.
4. Company benefits
- There is a well-stocked snack cabinet, so you can grab something whenever you want to satisfy a craving.
- There is a monthly beverage allowance, so you can drink as much as you like.
- Once a month, there is a Happy Hour when everyone can put aside their work an hour early and enjoy snacks together.
- Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas activities are held from time to time.
- Sometimes we received food the boss bought especially for everyone. What I remember most clearly was one time when pineapple production was excessive: the chairman bought pineapples for everyone to support small farmers. The boss is a very warm and considerate person.
- People who enjoy playing table tennis should like it here too. The company has a table tennis table, and we could play for half an hour before leaving work. The boss would occasionally play with us as well, and it was actually quite fun.
- If you do not have time to exercise, you do not need to worry. The company allows employees to leave 20 minutes early to do slow jogging in the office. A former colleague with children told me that they barely had any time after work, so this was a great benefit.
It may just be a common problem among office workers: sitting for long periods can cause a slight belly bulge.
I previously worked as a store employee at one of the company’s affiliated brands. Although I have since left, I can still share some of my experience. I initially worked at a domestic store and was later promoted to an overseas supervisor. This career gave me considerable room to develop.
Since I had no prior experience working at a beverage shop, it was somewhat challenging at first. However, the company’s training system was quite comprehensive, and the supervisors who mentored me always paid attention to my well-being. Each area of responsibility was guided by a senior colleague. In addition to learning the basics of store operations, management skills were also a key focus of the training. At the time, I found it quite demanding: I had to arrange shifts and handle many issues at the stores, which greatly improved my ability to respond flexibly in the moment. Looking back, these skills have actually been very useful. Later, through the company’s language allowance, I successfully went to an overseas store to conduct local store training.
Because the brand was doing very well, the work was also quite demanding. I personally enjoyed interacting with customers, so overall I still found the job very fulfilling.
1. There are currently no book clubs; they have become regular events organized by the company’s employee welfare committee, such as Christmas and Mid-Autumn Festival activities. In addition to food and drinks, the events include prize draws or cash prizes. It is very common to receive NT$2,000 or NT$3,000 at a time XD—essentially a disguised pay raise.
2. There is a monthly happy hour at the end of each month, as well as a birthday allowance. You can set aside work and simply relax while enjoying the food and drinks ordered by the company that month.
3. The company has a pleasant environment: an open-plan workspace with various green plants, creating a very comfortable place to work.
4. The company is very willing to provide employees with learning opportunities. The bosses place considerable importance on employees’ ideas and are willing to listen.
1. Every company has its own corporate culture, and there are always both good and bad aspects—it all depends on how you view them. If I had to point out a drawback, it might be something common in companies of a certain size: internal processes and reviews tend to be relatively rigorous. However, it depends on how you look at it; unclear or incomplete accounting would be quite frightening.
A monthly beverage allowance of NT$250, but you must have perfect attendance to receive it.
1. The boss changes his mind very easily. Today he may ask you to promote A, and tomorrow, during the meeting report, tell you to change it to B. If you don't do things exactly as he wants, he gets embarrassed and angry. Yet he also likes to say during meetings that the department is useless and has no innovative ideas, while all the ideas supposedly come from him......
2. The company only hires female employees because the boss only employs women, so men should not even think about applying—unless they are relatives of royalty or otherwise well-connected, haha. Some departments even specifically select people with attractive appearances because they have close contact with the boss, and he wants people who are pleasing to look at. As for which departments these are, the distinction is obvious as soon as you join the company.
3. Temporary projects are often assigned, with deadlines requiring completion the same day or within two days. It is truly pressuring because your work is not limited to carrying out projects; you also have other routine tasks.
4. Every Tuesday after work, employees have to attend a study group. Members must spend their off-hours studying videos and articles, then present their takeaways. It may appear to allow free expression, but in reality, this is a great opportunity to show your loyalty to the company and curry favor with the boss. During the interview, they say the study group is voluntary. If you genuinely have something else to do and do not attend, nothing will happen—but when the boss sees that too few people have participated, he puts on a sour face and gets angry, then makes sarcastic remarks about supervisors and employees onstage. Later, because the participation rate was too low, the company directly added the number of study-group sessions attended to the performance evaluation form. If you attend too few, your evaluation score will be very low.
5. During holidays and days off, the boss often posts inspirational articles and videos in the group chat. You have to click on them, watch them, and reply in the group. If you do not reply, your supervisor will keep an eye on you when you return to work on Monday and tell you that the first thing you must do is reply to the boss in the group chat. Sometimes the boss even asks the executive secretary to count the number of replies. Those who do not reply may receive a formal reprimand. It is ridiculous.
None
After working here for quite a long time, I was ultimately very glad to escape this hellhole.
I sincerely think that the people here are all so scheming and frightening.
Everyone was right! The boss only hires women—pretty women, at that~
The people here care entirely about “looks”~
You probably don’t know that after your interview, they secretly give you a score for your appearance, right?????
Your interview résumé will even be taken by the supervisors to discuss with the colleagues sitting around you (just thinking about it makes me feel scared).
So if you aren’t beautiful enough, you can’t get in~ Even if you’re highly capable, it’s useless.
Also, you absolutely have to be careful because the people here love taking credit and shifting blame for mistakes.
Whether it’s the Procurement Team, Accounting Team, Local Brands Team, or Influencer Brands Team, they’re all the same.
In the end, all responsibility gets attributed to the person who was originally the most dedicated and hardworking~~
It’s a company made up entirely of women over 30, after all. So internal rivalry, scheming, and playing tricks are no surprise.
Because this is a harem beauty pageant, of course everyone has to work hard.
None

It’s a company made up entirely of women over 30, so internal infighting, scheming, and tricks are no surprise.
Because this is a harem selection show, everyone of course has to try their best.
If you have perfect attendance every month, you can receive $350 in beverage vouchers; if you come to the company early more than ten times a month, you can receive an additional $150 in beverage vouchers.
1. As the people before me have said, most of the people at the company are not very capable, and there are many sycophants. We often end up unable to finish the work within our own responsibilities because we have to deal with the boss’s sudden ideas~
2. The company only hires female employees. After the interview, interviewees are even given an appearance score (this also happens in interviews for internal administrative staff). When there are many women, small cliques naturally form. On the surface, everyone appears united and peaceful, but behind the scenes there are plenty of underhanded tactics.
3. The job is based on a responsibility system, and every Tuesday after work, we are also required to hold a study group. On the surface, participation is said to be voluntary, but behind the scenes it is included in performance evaluations. During holidays, the boss often posts articles in the group chat and expects responses. If you do not reply, you will be singled out.
4. There are many emotional colleagues, and you often have to watch their moods when doing your work, which ends up affecting your own mood at work. Although it is presented as teamwork, senior colleagues often take credit while others do the work.
5. The company’s direction is always based on following in other people’s footsteps. Even after discussions are completed and a finished product is finalized, it is often scrapped and redone from scratch, only for the boss and supervisors to criticize our slow efficiency afterward.
6. Although the company divides its departments very finely and the scope of work appears clear on the surface, behind the scenes people often push blame around. It ultimately comes down to who is unlucky enough to take responsibility for the company’s entire mistake.
7. The Tuesday study group is said to be for cultivating corporate culture, but in reality, managerial-level employees are brainwashing everyone. The boss also often comes in to speak, and we are frequently forced to stay and listen to his long-winded speeches.
Summary: This is a company with little future, sustained only by domestic and overseas agency and franchise fees. More frightening than the company’s prospects are the internal employees’ mindless flattery, sycophancy, and scheming infighting. You often work yourself to death, while the credit always goes to someone else.
1. Excellent office environment with bright natural lighting and an open, spacious feel without any sense of pressure
2. A weekly study group where you can hear many managers and colleagues share what they have learned and the latest knowledge
There are few spaces for breaks and interaction. It is a pity that, after the renovation, the beautiful office does not have a coffee bar or music to make working more enjoyable.
If you have strong abilities, there is a lot of room and a stage to showcase them, but in return you will be worked to the bone.
1. Every Tuesday after work, employees have to stay for a study group. In reality, it is a brainwashing session: they provide an inspirational article, draw lots for someone to go onstage and share their thoughts, and finally the chairman gives a long, illogical speech.
2. Every day, employees must write a work journal, including (1) what they did each hour, (2) their future work goals, and (3) their reflections on their work. After completing it, they must post it in a Line group that includes the chairman so that he can check every employee's work status daily.
3. Attendance at the study group is included in the basis for calculating performance bonuses (they say participation is voluntary, but it is actually mandatory).
4. Even after work and during holidays, there is an endless barrage of messages in the Line group. Whenever something is posted, everyone has to reply below to report that they have read it. The chairman frequently posts messages or articles in the group, requiring everyone to read them and report once they have finished reading.
5. Company culture: flattery and sycophancy. As a result, although the coworkers are of average ability, they are all exceptionally skilled at ingratiating themselves and currying favor.
6. Employees' work responsibilities may suddenly be reassigned without warning and without any room for discussion.
7. The company's operating situation is poor and it has suffered consecutive losses. It is currently surviving solely on agency fees and royalties collected from overseas agents.
The starting salary is higher than in the general industry.
1. The damn book club that everyone is expected to respond to was originally supposed to be a meaningful session for everyone to watch and share videos, but it ultimately became time for the boss's speech. They say participation is not mandatory, but attendance must be signed in so the number of times each person participates can be tracked.
2. The actual job duties differ from the advertised title.
3. Every day feels like multi-level marketing: the boss has to motivate everyone, and then expects people to reply to him at all times (in the LINE group).
1. One free cup of black tea
2. Operations supervisors may travel abroad to participate in exhibitions (the company pays, plus a business trip allowance)
1. Fill out a reading reflection on “Starting from the Jungle”
2. Operations supervisors must first learn the procedures at a store for 3–6 months
3. There is a book club every Tuesday, with light snacks but no overtime pay (a company tradition?)
4. Everyone gets along harmoniously. Although work ends at 6 p.m., everyone leaves after 7 p.m., discussing work together (Are you not allowed to talk during working hours?)
5. Starting salary is NT$27,000; after beginning supervisory work, it can reach NT$40,000
During the interview, they offered you one of their drinks.
1. The interview was held in an open space, and they asked you on the spot to read an article and write a reflection: “Starting from the Jungle.”
2. They asked whether you could support the Fat Card food truck during shifts. Besides design, you would also have to help with planning; being able to edit videos would be even better.
3. They force all employees to stay after work every Tuesday and wait for the retail sales staff to join a book club. What is a book club? Everyone reads a book or watches a movie together, then shares positive reflections with one another. There is no telling what time you’ll be able to leave.
4. Basically, design is already a demanding job, but they treat design as miscellaneous support for the food truck and planning, and also require you to attend the weird book club. There are so many things to do in life; if you accept the weird book club, congratulations, you’re a great fit for XDD.
5. If someone is pretending to be positive all day, are they even human? People have emotions, after all (just speaking objectively).
6. In summary: Very ridiculous.
