Please stop violating labor laws and not paying wages. That is truly disgraceful.
The woman at the Jianguo Road location in Taoyuan is extremely arrogant!!!!! Very arrogant!!!!!!!!!
It seems as if the company belongs to her family.
Even when you hand her your résumé, she will not tell you when you will be notified.
She is very rude to people who come to apply for jobs.
Moreover, one job seeker said that she tore up his résumé directly in front of him.
Even if you are not hired, they will not return your personal information.
In my opinion, this staffing agency seriously lacks training.
You fucking arrogant bitch.
The company I was assigned to was just average.
For the same company’s position, A-Ken’s hourly wage is $3 less than that of other staffing agencies.
A-Ken: $185/hour; other staffing agencies: $188/hour.
None, everything is pretty basic.
Overtime pay is calculated based on an hourly wage of 176, rather than the higher hourly wage advertised in the job posting—playing number games.
The overtime pay difference is further deducted as a welfare fund contribution; it feels like being skinned twice.
Temporary workers also cannot receive bonuses from the employee welfare committee.
The office environment is simple and clean.
I applied for an internal human resources position. During the interview, I had to fill out a lot of tedious paperwork, and I was also asked to take an English typing test. After the test, the lady told me to wait for a while. After waiting for quite some time, she told me that they would notify me within a week, and that if I didn't receive a notification, I should call my own phone number directly to confirm.... I honestly feel that going to the interview was a huge waste of time! I would also have to waste money on a phone call to confirm whether I was hired. That's outrageous!
The details were explained very clearly during the interview.
If you can't find a job in the short term, you can work here temporarily and have some income.
Both times I applied, I was assigned to terrible positions.
There is nothing wrong with the company; the problem is with the employees inside it.
So far, I've encountered severe factionalism, as well as senior employees who abuse their authority and take advantage of others.

The location I went to was the Xinzhuang branch.
I filled out a questionnaire that had nothing to do with the job and was not a personality test either. The supervisor evaluated it based on subjective impressions, which was inaccurate, so filling it out was a waste of time.
The interviewer was extremely disrespectful from beginning to end. His careless attitude and constantly looking elsewhere were bad enough, but he also went on and on with examples unrelated to the interview, saying it was to practice talking to people. He kept forcing me to answer questions, and after asking them, he would repeat obvious points along with his useless rambling and nonsense. He acted as if he were superior and put on airs. The entire interview was painful, and I just hoped it would end quickly.
I have never met a supervisor who was so rude and knew so little about human resources.
The workplace is Panasonic Enterprise; things like “Zhonghe laptops” and “Japanese-company laptops” are all job openings from them.
There aren’t many advantages. If you’re temporarily short of money, you can go, and although the hourly wage is advertised as high, it’s actually still very low.
They will definitely pay your wages on time.
There is pre-employment training, but it’s basically just to prevent idiots from going onto the production line; the actual work is very simple.
You can become a regular employee, but regular employees cannot switch to part-time. In reality, part-time workers also have no freedom regarding working hours—their schedules are the same as regular employees’.
Overtime, overtime, overtime every day, and you have to stand all day. It’s impossible to get a chair unless there’s a seating area in the break room.
At night, they give you a piece of bread and call it a benefit, saying it’s your dinner.
In reality, they only give you half an hour to eat, it’s not enough to fill you up, and then you have to get back to work.
The supervisors also say that you really like working overtime—complete bullshit. The purpose of using this kind of rhetoric is to semi-coerce you into working overtime.
You haven’t even gotten used to one workstation after a full day, and the next day they move you to another workstation. You have to relearn everything, and then they still complain that you’re moving too slowly.
Before work, you have to sing the company anthem, taking up three minutes of employees’ time. Those three minutes are unpaid. This is a Japanese company with Taiwanese practices.
Some supervisors at this company seem intent on discriminating against people considered to have poor learning ability. They only resort to yelling instead of actually doing the work and guiding new hires. I’ve trained many new hires before, but I’ve never seen such a brain-dead way of training people.

Interview experience at Xinshu Road, Xinzhuang, New Taipei City.
The interviewer was extremely arrogant and became impatient when I asked even a few additional questions. They also told me that if I couldn't accept it, I didn't have to come. Even after I had already declined the job, they kept calling afterward to ask whether I could reconsider and come to work.

A perpetually terrible job. These are all companies with high turnover that prioritize output over talent. They pretend the position has been filled, leaving only terrible jobs. The photo of the store clerk who added me on LINE to ask about job information was different; when I actually went to the store, she looked very different from the photo and I couldn't find her. The clerk at the Xīnshù Road store was also very arrogant, and her replies carried a sarcastic tone, which was utterly astonishing. She acted as if she were the boss, when she was only handling recruitment.
In conclusion, unless necessary, don't contact Aiken Staffing; it's a waste of time going to the store to fill out forms.
They are very proactive about asking you to fill out your résumé.
They wait until you have finished filling out your résumé for the job openings they posted
then tell you that they are currently full and you have to wait.
Now they ask whether you want to take a job that doesn’t require waiting.
Seriously, don’t go to this company. It’s terrible.

Actively promote shitty jobs to people.
Nothing noteworthy
1. Searching the Ministry of Labor’s system for businesses (employers) that have violated labor laws and regulations, companies related to Aiken appear on the list year after year.
2. Aiken International Development, Aiken Management Consulting, Aiken Optoelectronics, Dingji Enterprise, and Wending Industrial, among others, all belong to the Aiken Human Resources Agency Group.
3. The labor and personal data protection provisions in the contracts violate legal requirements. For example: arriving one minute late results in 30 minutes’ worth of pay being withheld; pay is deducted if you work fewer than three days; labor insurance is enrolled at the lowest salary bracket (11,000); and personal data authorization requires perpetual cooperation and allows the data to be provided to partner vendors.
4. They exploit information asymmetry to indirectly extract agency fees. For example: the client company offers an hourly wage of 155–165, but the employment contract states an hourly wage of only 152.
They are generally proactive about inviting you to interviews.
What they said on the phone differed from what they said in the in-person interview. For the second interview, they promised to inform me of the location and time, but in the end, I had to call and ask the day before, only to be told that it had been canceled or that they wanted to refer me to another job. Then, if I showed even slight hesitation when being introduced to a job, they would hang up. The quality of the recruiters was astonishing.
1. They are very proactive when it comes to tricking job seekers into taking jobs, especially shitty ones. It is practically the case that they call you immediately after you submit your résumé.
2. Salaries are paid relatively on time, although this is the most basic thing a staffing agency should do.
1. When contacted by phone, they give one version of the job details, but when you actually go to the Aiken branch to inquire, you get another version.
2. I have encountered situations where, after actually starting work, the job was very different from the one I originally applied for.
3. There appear to be many job openings, but anyone who observes for a while can generally tell which ones are perpetually shitty jobs.
4. They deliberately post some openings with good benefits even though they are no longer hiring, attracting people to submit résumés, then informing them afterward that the positions have been filled and using this as an opportunity to introduce unwanted shitty jobs to job seekers (this has happened to me several times).
My impression of Aiken is: first trick people into taking jobs; any problems afterward can be easily dealt with.

Oh my~ I only found out after checking that the companies to which this staffing agency dispatches workers have eight recorded violations of the Labor Standards Act....==!!
The company’s exterior is beautiful.
I was assigned to work at Kingstate Electronics in 2010. Only after leaving did I learn that Aiken Manpower had already deducted the cost of my jacket and shoes from my wages, and they could not be returned.
