There are absolutely no advantages. If anything, when a manager pulls you aside for a meeting, it is always after working hours, yet they actually require us to clock out at six to avoid being flagged by HR.

The resignation process is much faster and more efficient than the process of submitting a salary request for approval.

The training is unbelievably terrible. For the first two hours before the first day of work even began, we had to listen to two managers talk nonsense and brainwash us, constantly repeating sales pitches like “price is never an issue.” They also wouldn’t give the sales staff more time to learn about the products and plans that other departments sell. The department technicians’ training was terrible too.....

Every day after returning to the company, we had to report how many companies we had contacted and how many were comparing prices. We also had to upload recordings (we had to record whether or not we managed to reach the person in charge). The next day, another manager would pull you into a small room and keep saying, “The company is giving you 60,000; your conversion rate is a little low. Is there anywhere you need to improve?”..... (Did I actually receive 60,000????)

After working for a full month, the manager said that my salary request had not been approved and that I would only get 35,000..... They also wanted me to sign a salary reduction form (what a scam of a company).

After I voluntarily resigned, the manager even told the other salespeople that I resigned because I didn’t know how to talk. (Yes, I don’t know how to talk. I still sold three water dispensers in one month through cold outreach..... For those who are so good at talking, how many have you sold?? Hehe, not even one!!)

🈚️

The company is absolutely terrible! That supervisor whose name is something like Yu is really awful.

The company doesn’t even provide training. It’s ridiculous—they expect you to speak fluently on your very first day, and if you aren’t fluent, they immediately reject you. It’s outrageous.

Ordinary companies all provide basic training, but this one has none at all. If they don’t like the look of you, they tell you to leave. HR is constantly bringing people in for interviews, while supervisors are constantly telling people to leave. The company’s turnover is far too high. There is seriously something wrong with this company.

Seriously, don’t waste your time coming for an interview or working here. You really will regret it.

With the salary advertised so high, presumably they can’t retain talent and are offering high pay to attract people. If you’re thinking of coming, you really need to be mentally prepared. They can rationalize replacing you with all kinds of excuses and reject you for any reason. What an outrageous supervisor.

Explains the company’s business model, what it sells, and so on.

They do review résumés,

but only conduct a brief review of applicants’ information.

The interviewer quickly reviews everything on-site and tells you that you have passed the interview.

New employee training is not sufficiently完善.

There is water from a water purifier available to drink.....

I went for an interview last Tuesday at the head office for a telephone interviewer position. Besides me, there were two other women interviewing that day. At the time, I just found it strange. A salary of 32,000 was fairly good! How could they be so short-staffed? I thought to myself that they probably needed a lot of people for the position. Later, during the interview, after we filled out our résumés, the three interviewees were given an explanation of the job duties together. At around 5 p.m. that afternoon, I received a call from the interviewer saying that I had been hired! I was told to prepare the required documents and get ready to start work. I was originally considering the long commute, but thought that I should take the job for now since it was work. I turned down the other interviews I had already scheduled.

On my first day, the chubby interviewer turned out to be the supervisor. She spoke very quickly and was easily angered and impatient. She taught me two pages of scripts, mainly for contacting customers whose contracts had not been renewed, checking whether they wanted to replace their water purifiers. If I successfully made an appointment, it counted as a successful sale, after which I would report back to the store so they could make a second appointment. Since there were many types of water purifiers, I finished learning the material in three days, and the number of appointments I made was not small—it increased day by day. I worked for four days, followed by Saturday and Sunday off. When the new week began, two other telephone interviewers reported for work that morning! Early in the morning, she told me to call another store, where she was training the new employees. However, one of the new employees learned more slowly, so she told her to leave that afternoon. As for my calls, I was also following the script she had taught me. She began getting angry and nitpicking, apparently trying to make me say that I wanted to resign. I ignored her, and in the end she just said, “I don’t think you’re suitable,” and told me to leave. She even said, “Let’s part on good terms”..... She was truly a very baffling person.

So, during the five days I spent at the head office, all I saw was a constant stream of people coming in for interviews. Then there were nearly 10 people making interview calls (strange! How could there be more calls for interviews than calls to check on customers!?). This short-tempered supervisor, who spoke incoherently, spent every day interviewing, interviewing, interviewing, interviewing.... It really is a very strange company! They attract people with a high salary and then tell them to leave! No wonder online posts call it a terrible dead-end job, and the reviews are bad. I blame myself for not searching online first. I’m sharing this for everyone’s reference! This is my real experience—I hope everyone will be careful!

1: The salary structure is very attractive (it’s genuinely considered high in the industry).

2: Repair services use voice recorders (when disputes arise, the louder person doesn’t automatically win).

3: The company pays for all fuel (company vehicles include manual-transmission cars and motorcycles).

4: Technicians have a set of company SOP procedures (please follow the company’s service SOP).

5: One-day work trial (there may be a one-day work trial where the boss observes you working for a day; if they find it effective, they may let the interviewee do a one-day trial).

6: Correct water-use concepts! (Qianshan is strongly promoting proper water-use concepts. When replacing a filter, you must explain proper water-use concepts to the customer.)

1: Strange working hours: clock in at 12:45 and finish work at 9:30 p.m.

(I’ve never before encountered a water purifier seller whose work hours start at 12:30.

After going out with a technician for a one-day trial, I found that a technician who provides services quickly

can definitely finish serving 7–8 households in one day.)

2: An unusual amount of recruiting????? (I believe all the major employment websites have the perennial customer-service technician vacancy.

Even if you merely open your résumé for employers to view,

you will almost certainly receive a call asking whether you want to interview.

After experiencing one day of technician work, what I found strange was:

You have such a good job—how could you possibly be unable to hire or retain people? Could it be that everyone entering the workforce is a “rotten strawberry”!?

That’s impossible.)

3: The company SOP introduces the company’s products! Technicians are used as salespeople.

On the surface, it says you are helping the company introduce its products, but in practice, because of the voice recorder, you have to force yourself to finish explaining everything the company wants introduced.

To be honest, Qianshan’s product design has been overdue for criticism for quite some time;

what you designed is basically a pile of shit. Salespeople can only sell this beautifully packaged pile of shit!!!! The worst part is that repair technicians who encounter crazy customers can only grit their teeth and let the customers chew them out.

4: Technicians do not have normal meal breaks or rest periods!!!!

On the surface, the working hours are from 12:45 to 9:30 p.m., so after clocking in and receiving assignments,

technicians have to hurry to the addresses to provide service. Say there are seven households in a day.

On average, each one takes 30–50 minutes, plus travel time (at least 15–20 minutes per area). This makes the technicians’ schedules extremely tight (so tight that you basically have no time to eat a normal meal), and that is assuming you don’t encounter difficult customers.

If you encounter a difficult customer who calls you back to deal with an issue, you will spend at least an hour listening to the customer’s nonsense.

Managing your time becomes extremely troublesome! Most importantly, if a service technician is unlucky enough

to encounter customers like this all the way through the day,

the delays will make the other customers waiting unhappy, resulting in services not being completed. This will inevitably lead to a large number of complaints and even cancellations.

Yet the company still emphasizes that technicians must explain proper water-use concepts and new products.

For technicians, this creates invisible time pressure. (What I see now is that the company requires technicians to explain

proper water-use concepts, but the time available does not allow technicians to explain them fully.)

The interviewer clearly explained the job responsibilities, salary, and bonuses, and was also willing to provide learning opportunities to people without relevant experience. It sounded like working hours, days off, and overtime all comply with the Labor Standards Act. For someone like me with little work experience, being able to earn NT$50,000–60,000 a month by meeting the required targets is, in my opinion, a very high salary compared with the delivery driver and factory jobs I looked for before.

I really hope I get the opportunity to give it a try. Hopefully, I’ll be notified of my acceptance soon.

It’s just a bit far from my home.

One of the advantages of working at Qianshan is the opportunity to gain exposure to basic plumbing and electrical work. Although most of the learning requires building up experience and figuring things out independently, the knowledge gained can all become personal skills. In addition, employees have access to clean drinking water during work, and occasionally may be offered beverages by customers in appreciation of good service, which can be considered an additional small perk.

The following is an objective statement based on my actual work experience during my previous employment at Qianshan. It is provided solely for job seekers to make their own assessment and does not constitute any legal claim, accusation, or characterization, nor does it represent the position of any third party.

________________________________________

I. Recruitment Information and Actual Salary Structure

According to the recruitment message I received at the time, the company described “a monthly salary of at least NT$50,000” as the main compensation and stated that employees could earn a higher salary (approximately NT$60,000–70,000) after passing the evaluation.

Based on my observations during my actual employment, the following matters may differ from what job seekers expect:

1. The company does have an evaluation system, but its implementation and content differ from the recruitment description.

2. Evaluation results affect the quarterly bonus, which accounts for a considerable proportion of total compensation.

3. During the three-month evaluation period, if an employee does not receive the quarterly bonus, their salary generally consists of base salary and a fixed service bonus, totaling approximately NT$41,000.

The above reflects only what I observed from my personal experience. Actual compensation may vary depending on the supervisor, region, and time period. Job seekers are advised to confirm during the interview whether the salary structure is specified in writing.

________________________________________

II. Disciplinary System and Evaluation Requirements

During my employment, I observed the following characteristics of the company’s disciplinary system:

1. Disciplinary demerits are linked to deductions. A major demerit may result in a deduction of NT$5,000.

2. Operating standards and procedures may be adjusted frequently, requiring employees to independently monitor relevant updates.

3. In practice, because there are many required tasks—recordings, photographs, scripts, punctual clock-ins, travel time, and so on—omissions can easily occur, and such omissions may be deemed failures to meet the standards.

I am not commenting on whether the system is reasonable; rather, I wish to remind job seekers: “Evaluation and disciplinary outcomes directly affect compensation. Before starting employment, confirm in advance whether the relevant details are clearly set out in written rules.”

________________________________________

III. Supervisory Responsibilities and Actual Workload

I previously served as a supervisor. The following describes my actual experience:

1. Supervisors are responsible for handling customer complaints, scheduling, staff training, environment management, performance maintenance, review monitoring, and various administrative reports.

2. The actual workload is significantly higher than that of a general technician, and the related responsibilities are closely tied to bonuses, such as the quarterly bonus.

3. A supervisor’s actual earnings may be similar to those of a technician if performance targets are not met, while the supervisor bears greater responsibilities.

Job seekers applying for management positions are advised to pay particular attention to the scope of responsibilities, overtime determination, compensatory-leave policy, and conditions for receiving the quarterly bonus.

________________________________________

IV. Clock-In and Deduction Rules

During my employment, I observed the following:

1. The company has a “NT$500 deduction for failing to clock in” policy.

2. Because on-site service requires interaction with customers, the likelihood of being unable to clock in on time may increase.

3. The company sometimes waives the deduction by recording an exception; however, that exception may still become part of the employee’s administrative record.

Reminder for job seekers:

Clock-in policies fall within the company’s management authority, but accumulated administrative records may have an impact in disputes upon resignation or other labor-management matters. Employees are advised to retain relevant correspondence and records after joining the company.

________________________________________

V. Benefits and Support

Based on my experience during employment, I observed the following:

1. The benefits promoted externally, such as group meals and travel, differed from what I personally experienced.

2. Technicians had relatively few opportunities to participate in benefits activities, and supervisors’ group meals were often self-funded.

3. Although there was an expense reimbursement mechanism for business-related parking fees or tool expenses, in my experience there were occasional delays or failures to receive a response.

Job seekers are advised to confirm during interviews whether a benefit is a formal policy, whether it follows a fixed schedule, and whether written information is available.

________________________________________

VI. Training and Practical Support

My experience was as follows:

1. The company provides remote courses as training.

2. In practice, remote materials alone are insufficient to fully cover every situation.

3. When unexpected problems arise, it may not always be possible to obtain timely assistance from supervisors or colleagues, while the employee ultimately remains responsible.

Job seekers may ask during interviews: “During the onboarding period, is there comprehensive hands-on guidance? Is in-person training provided? Can supervisors provide immediate support?”

________________________________________

VII. Resignation and Administrative Records

I observed the following:

1. If an employee accumulates multiple major demerits, minor demerits, or other administrative records, this may affect the settlement of compensation upon resignation or in a dispute.

2. The company may require employees to avoid mentioning externally any relationship with other enterprises.

3. Administrative records often accumulate because of the complexity of the system. Job seekers should pay attention to whether the relevant rules are reasonable and clearly defined.

________________________________________

VIII. Conclusion

The above is solely an objective description based on my personal experience and is not intended to cause detriment to the company or its personnel.

The purpose is only to remind job seekers that before applying for relevant positions, they should:

• Confirm the written salary structure in detail

• Understand the evaluation and disciplinary systems

• Confirm the actual difference in workload between supervisors and technicians

• Clarify whether the benefits and overtime systems have a written basis

• Confirm whether onboarding training and support are adequate

Actual circumstances may vary depending on the time, region, supervisor’s management style, or department. Job seekers are advised to make a careful assessment based on their own needs.

Efficient at deducting money; quick resignation procedures

Employees are treated like slaves, customers like gods

Lure you to the stores, trick you into buying machines

The company makes plenty of money, while employees get plenty deducted

What the company says goes; overtime is calculated however they please

An established company seems stable, but there is a lot of hidden, murky business

Advertised salaries are high, but deductions for customer complaints are also high

Managers talk about reason, but it is all twisted logic

Welcome the challenge

Customer-service technicians are the company’s toilet paper. When there are many service calls, they recruit like crazy and lure people in with high salaries. When there are fewer calls, they threaten employees with deductions and try to make technicians resign. Only those who perform relatively well have a chance of getting documentation for involuntary termination; otherwise, the company uses all kinds of excuses to make you resign voluntarily—deductions, uncleared inventory, and so on—so that you leave without getting your money. Managers only say it is company policy. Also, the machines used for training on disassembly and installation are C-brand machines, but the machines you actually service are Qianshan machines. They tell you to watch how senior technicians install them and call to ask if you do not know? That is the customer-service technician’s training. After you have serviced Qianshan machines for a while, they ask you to install C-brand machines, which you have long since forgotten how to do... Technicians are also expected to take responsibility for customers’ problems. Any customer complaint means a deduction, and poor installation also means a deduction. With training that bad... how are you supposed to install anything properly? The company’s attitude is to lure people in with high salaries, let them take it easy for about a month, and then start assigning installations, even though they know nothing. They have to call senior technicians to ask how to install things, but those senior technicians have often only been there for a few months themselves... The company is unwilling to cultivate professional technicians, yet wants to provide comprehensive service—it is like wanting a good horse but refusing to feed it. No wonder there are so many negative reviews. Oh, and the company requires customer-service technicians to ask customers at their homes to leave five-star reviews. If they do not, you get a demerit and a deduction; otherwise, they say you are not cooperating with company policy and tell you to get lost. They also do everything they can to persuade customers to withdraw negative reviews, then compensate the customers. The compensation comes out of the pockets of the technicians and office staff.

Now let’s talk about assistant store managers in sales. Doing this job well is simple: lie!!! Do everything possible to trick customers into buying more, or buying more expensive machines. If you are not good at deceiving people, you may earn even less than a customer-service technician. Then there is a manager named Wang who oversees the whole country and is completely self-centered. He talks about how he used to sell cars and how he now earns over a hundred thousand a month... When subordinates have problems, he resolves them casually, according to his own ideas, without considering employees’ feelings at all. Office staff work 9.5 hours a day. They say there is a one-hour meal break in the middle, but in reality, you cannot properly rest. Managers only say, “The company gives you an hour; if you don’t take it, don’t blame the company.” There is also someone at headquarters named Mi who causes trouble every day—harassing technicians and office staff. They call it auditing to make it sound nice, but there is absolutely no logic to it. Yet this person will say that you are illogical and will never admit to having a problem. During my time there, two store managers quit directly without handing over their duties, and I had to help clean up the aftermath. Why did both store managers quit without notice? Because the company deliberately messes with people’s mindsets. Basically, if you want to leave, then leave; if they want to deduct your money, they will, using all kinds of excuses to say that you did a bad job and so on. But the company never taught you how to do the work in the first place. They only criticize you afterward, asking why you did not ask. In fact, you did ask—but not the right person... because of course you cannot do the work if you do not ask. You only asked someone more senior, though. The departments are also extremely antagonistic toward one another. Basically, if I deduct your money, I make money: if the store manager’s sales performance is poor but the sales assistant manager’s is good, they deduct money from the store manager and give it to the sales assistant manager. Even if you work very hard and conscientiously, the company will not appreciate you; it will only think that doing so is your obligation. If you make even one small mistake, they deduct money. This is truly an utterly pathetic company. Anyone who places great importance on emotional well-being should think twice. Otherwise, you will be worn down completely and exploited until not a drop is left. Finally, I wish all job seekers could avoid bad companies.

The voice of the person who called from 104 sounded good.

The salary they offer is high, but after joining, major and minor demerits happen constantly. A major demerit results in a 5,000 deduction, a minor demerit in a 3,000 deduction, and there is also a 1,500 deduction for a reprimand warning.

Training consists of watching videos and calling senior colleagues with questions.

The company tells you to say to customers that the company will compensate them for everything.

The so-called compensation is deducted from employees’ pay and given to customers.

As for the so-called bonuses, if even one matter is not handled properly,

or if you encounter leftover problems from the previous senior employee that were not properly dealt with,

then forget about getting a bonus.

They say the salary listed on 104 is 50,000 or 46,000.

Do you think you can receive it on the 10th? Keep dreaming.

The bonus comes in on the 20th (depending on your luck).

The reason the salary is divided into base pay and bonuses

is obviously so the company can arbitrarily take away the bonus.

Think about it: after labor and health insurance deductions, how much is left from a salary of 32,000?

Our senior colleagues cannot even pay the traffic tickets they receive while driving company cars within the same month.

Bring your own recording pen. You have to pay parking fees upfront yourself; the company will reimburse you only after you submit a claim. You also have to front the cost of tools yourself.

If an invoice bearing the company’s tax ID is not successfully returned to headquarters,

you will not get back the money you paid upfront either.

So what exactly does the company guarantee?

If you're tired of being human, you can come here and experience what it's like to be a dog.

This company is basically made up of friends and relatives. If you offend one person, you can forget about staying. Basically, your “salary” will be 32,000, and everything else is called a “bonus.” If you resign or they force you out, you’ll only receive 32,000 that month. You can earn at most 41,000 per month—no more. Positions at store manager level and above mostly involve having money deducted; currently, the lowest recorded monthly pay for a store manager is NT$5,000.

Air conditioning

There is absolutely no training. They give you product brochures and price lists and tell you to memorize them, then on your sixth day they throw you out to talk to customers. If you don’t know something, you can only bluff your way through it. For a whole bunch of questions, every senior employee gives a different answer. Later, I found out that almost everyone had only been there for a short time anyway. The system keeps getting worse. Because they can’t retain people, they changed it to low base pay and high commissions; if you decide to leave, they start finding all kinds of reasons to deduct your commission.

The technicians’ training is even more ridiculous. You watch videos and follow along, and after only a few days they throw you out to start servicing customers. When you run into problems out there, all you can do is keep calling back to headquarters for help. Is this wilderness survival?

Working as customer service is also miserable. They treat one person as if they were three people. Management meticulously calculates how many seconds you spend on each customer and how many customers you can respond to each day, monitoring whether you are slacking off.

At the stores, you have to be a jack-of-all-trades: return calls, handle customer complaints, schedule installations and filter replacements, receive customers on-site, respond to all kinds of bizarre tasks from headquarters, and even recruit employees yourself. If you don’t schedule six interviews in a day, you’ll be reported and have money deducted—always more than 5,000. From top to bottom, they always use scolding and criticism; anything you do well is simply considered expected. Once they see that you can handle it, they’ll assign you even more tasks.

Now they’re finally getting what they deserve. They’ve started running into bottlenecks when recruiting employees and can’t find anyone. Every day, the calls are just a pile of customer complaints, with people waiting forever for their filters to be replaced.

The air conditioning is cold enough.

Interview on 2025/06/17

All I can say is that I was lucky enough 🤣

During today’s interview, just as everyone mentioned above, I had to fill out forms on-site (the information was basically the same as what you need to fill in on 104).

The salary is 50,000.

But! That includes the performance bonus!

The probation period is three months. The salary you receive each month during this period is initially 40,500, and then an additional 2,500 will be paid if your performance evaluation is good. If your performance is good in all three monthly evaluations, you’ll receive the performance bonuses for the three months all at once, totaling 21,000.

There’s an evaluation every month, and the managers above you evaluate you every single month.

Honestly… just hearing this much made me want to leave right away…

And that manager (female) really talks without pausing to breathe… She goes on and on before taking a breath.

I listened to nearly 40 minutes of this…

Why do I say I was lucky? There happened to be another woman interviewing with me who had similar experience, so I basically got screened out immediately.

Otherwise, I would have had to think about how to turn them down 🥲

I’ve worked at large companies before, and even there, I didn’t have to be evaluated every month… This is way too much 🙈

The salary you receive each month during this period is initially 40,500, and if your performance review during this period is good, you’ll receive another 2,500. If you perform well in all three monthly reviews, you’ll receive the performance review bonus for the three months all at once, totaling 21,000.

And there’s a performance review every month. The managers in charge above you evaluate you every single month.

Honestly… just hearing this much made me want to leave right away…

And that manager (female) really talks without taking a breath… She went on and on, only pausing to breathe after saying a whole long string of things.

I listened to nearly 40 minutes of this…

Why do I say I was lucky enough? There happened to be a woman interviewing alongside me who had similar experience, so I basically got rejected immediately.

Otherwise, I would have had to think about how to turn them down 🥲

I’ve worked at large companies before, and even they didn’t require monthly performance reviews… This is too absurd 🙈

There are really no advantages.

Be careful: this company will deduct employees’ wages under various pretexts. It posts inflated salaries on job sites to attract candidates, but once you actually start working, it tells you that your pay will be calculated based on your performance achievement rate. During your employment, someone will constantly brainwash you, telling you that as long as you put in the effort and meet your targets, you will earn NT$80,000.

But even after working yourself to the bone and finally meeting the targets, the company will still calculate the performance achievement rate arbitrarily under various pretexts—and without informing or consulting employees at all. It then withholds the performance achievement bonus on grounds such as failing to meet targets, not properly carrying out the work, or not cooperating with company policies. Job seekers are advised to choose carefully; this company is practically like a large-scale scam group.

In summary: I have never encountered such an outrageous company. It treats its employees like disposable chopsticks and enemies.

The store manager’s base salary is nowhere near 80,000–150,000. Misleading interviewees and then gradually brainwashing them wastes job seekers’ time and transportation costs.

Stop exaggerating the conditions and misleading job seekers.

None

HR and the store manager will call in advance to explain things and invite you to an interview

The interview on the day is conducted together with other candidates, filling out forms and listening to an explanation

The short test requires you to read the service details aloud

The salary structure is 32K; maintenance technician plus sales duties

You only receive additional bonuses for selling products to customers

You do not necessarily receive a commission simply because something has been sold

There is no clear sales commission structure; the cap is 80K

You are a salesperson while also having to work as a repair technician

You might as well sell furniture or work as a real estate agent, where the commission corresponds to how much you sell

Based on other people's comments, sales and customer service seemed to be separate roles in the past

Now, to save on labor, the maintenance technician also has to handle sales and customer service

Before the interview, an HR specialist called to confirm and schedule an interview at the store, and also called again on the day of the interview to remind me. (However, the interview time was unexpectedly changed.)

When I arrived and explained that I had a scheduled interview, the counter staff asked, “What position are you applying for?”

(This question was very strange, haha.)

The counter staff then tore a blank personnel information form from a stack on the counter and asked me to fill it out, pointing to a small round table beside the counter where I could write.

Not long afterward, another interviewee arrived, and the counter staff followed the same “SOP.”

After I finished filling it out, the counter staff took a photo of the form and sent it to the interviewing manager, then said they would add us on LINE and create a group chat for the interview. (Only then did we learn that the interviewing manager would not actually come to the site. If it was an online interview, why make people come all the way there?)

The interviewing manager identified himself as the finance and accounting manager at the head office. He explained the salary, leave policy, job responsibilities, and performance targets for the position, then asked the interviewees to introduce themselves one by one and answered questions.

After the interview, he simply said to wait for further notification, and I was free to leave.

About half an hour after I left, the interviewing manager called, but I was riding at the time and could not answer.

I replied by LINE text message, and the manager proactively arranged to call me again at 8 p.m. that evening. However, I did not receive any call until the following evening, and the manager also left my message reminding him that I had “not yet received a call” unread.

The salary looks attractive, but in reality, you can only receive it if you “meet the target,” and most of the “performance targets” are actually just “based on performance,” without any concrete criteria.

The company appears to have systems in place, but in reality, it does not.

Even senior managers at the head office can casually stand up interviewees, which shows that the company’s systems exist in name only.

There are absolutely no advantages. I recommend not coming to this company just to pad your résumé; it’s a very shady company.

At the time, I didn’t look up this company’s reviews online and went straight to the interview. Basically, the company was seriously short-staffed, so almost anyone who went to an interview was hired. But really, don’t come to this company—you’ll only waste your time. Although I didn’t work there for very long, and it was an office job, I’m still listing the drawbacks.

1. Extremely high turnover: Regardless of the position, you often see people interviewing and leaving (or being dismissed) every day. I’ve worked at companies with high turnover before, but this is the first time I’ve seen one with such a frighteningly high turnover rate. The others seemed to be used to it and didn’t find it unusual—if someone leaves, just hire another person.

2. Strange clock-in/clock-out system: The end of the workday is 5:45 p.m., but you have to clock out at 6:00 p.m.; otherwise, HR counts it as a disciplinary offense. If you clock out after the designated time, you also have to explain why. The work is clearly impossible to finish, but they don’t pay overtime. The only reason you can write for clocking out late is “handling personal matters.” Could this be an attempt to circumvent the Labor Standards Act? No wonder the company has so many negative records.

3. Unreasonable disciplinary measures: Of all the companies I’ve worked for, this was probably the first with such an absurd set of rules. There are reprimands (NT$1,500 deducted), minor demerits (NT$3,000 deducted), and major demerits (NT$5,000 deducted). The supervisors above love managing employees through disciplinary measures. If you’re even slightly careless, you may be disciplined. Can this really retain employees? No wonder people keep coming and going. Couldn’t this be reported to the labor department?

4. Production performance: The company seems to do whatever comes to mind, without any prior planning, so the entire process is extremely chaotic. Everything is always rushed and urgent, and we’re chasing materials every day. The delivery dates on purchase orders are only for reference; the production department often demands earlier delivery dates, creating enormous pressure.

5. Product inspection: Suppliers deliver goods every day, but defective products are rejected almost every day. I don’t know whether quality control is too strict or the suppliers’ deliveries really have problems.

6. Efficiency: Basically, documents submitted for approval often have to wait a long time. Sometimes they still haven’t come back after two weeks. But there’s one thing that’s processed the fastest: the resignation form. That one is handled with the greatest efficiency and astonishing speed.

Conclusion: Many people say this is a very shady company. Many of the openings have been posted for years, and even highly experienced people can’t stay here because there’s not much to learn. Although the salary offered isn’t particularly low, you may not necessarily receive it. The company handles matters less quickly and decisively than a small company would. In short, if you’re thinking of coming to this company, think it over carefully.

None

While I was employed, your company offered me a position. From the interview through the hiring notification, I repeatedly emphasized that I was currently employed and that, since I had been with my current employer for more than three months, I was required to follow the notice period stipulated by labor law. After I submitted my resignation and informed your company of my earliest possible start date, you began reading my messages without replying. Today, you suddenly changed your position and said you couldn’t wait that long. Hello? I told your company from the very beginning that I was employed. You should have said so at the start, instead of repeatedly changing your story like this.

Basically, there aren't really any advantages.

The company's environment consists of cubicle-style workspaces.

The desk space varies in size from person to person,

but everyone's seats are fairly close together.

Moreover, you will often hear supervisors or managers scolding people or lecturing them loudly from time to time,

or occasionally calling everyone from a certain department to stand in front of their desks as punishment while being lectured.

All I can say is that it is extremely noisy.

You are frequently disturbed while working.

The company has windows, but they are never opened. The area in front of the windows is always piled with miscellaneous items, documents, and tall potted plants.

The company has a very high turnover rate. It feels like the company wants to use very little money and very few employees to accomplish a great many tasks.

Also, the system is really quite terrible. All I can say is that the people who came before did not properly organize and consolidate the data when subsequently establishing it, causing trouble for the people who came after them. The query system is also not intuitive enough. I hope the Information Department can improve this situation. Otherwise, any newcomer who takes over will still have a very difficult time.

My advice is to avoid that kind of environment if you can.

Unless you are really an M 👍🏼

In this job, you can learn how to distinguish good people from bad people.

Not every supervisor is as kind and approachable as they seem on the surface⋯⋯

After the interview, they have you shadow a current employee for a day to experience the actual work. It’s somewhat interesting, I suppose.

There is no further screening when scheduling the interview; basically, anyone whose résumé is opened will receive a notification.

After arriving for the interview, it was a group interview with a large number of people. It was obvious that those managers had not even read our résumés. They first tried to brainwash us into accepting some strange rules. The most outrageous part was when they deliberately asked, “Do you think the company should provide the voice recorder, or should you buy it yourself?” Most people there thought the company should provide it. After asking that, they started talking a bunch of nonsense, saying things like, “If you buy it, you can achieve personal growth,” and “If the company provides it and you break it, the company won’t be able to afford the compensation.” In short, they wanted us to buy it ourselves. Having to spend a chunk of money before even starting work is a pretty bizarre practice. Honestly, if a company cannot even afford voice recorders, how dare it offer high salaries? If it cannot afford them, it should stop pretending.

Finally, regarding the work-experience portion after the interview, the high salary they advertise is completely fake. Customer service technicians do not merely perform repairs; whenever they visit a customer, they also have to sell them machines and filter cartridges, and everything must be recorded. It is obvious that the high salary depends on your sales performance. As for how high the performance target must be, presumably that is entirely up to the boss. There is no protection whatsoever.

In conclusion, this company simply keeps recruiting new people to sell its machines for low pay. If you manage to make a sale, they count it as a bonus; afterward, they can casually find a reason to say you are unsuitable and send you packing. Don’t waste your time.

There are no advantages whatsoever. When your shift ends, you have to clock out to avoid violating labor laws, but after clocking out there is still the damn interactive management session where you have to listen to your supervisor spout a bunch of nonsense.

Customer service technicians are supposedly able to earn an annual income of one million, but in reality they are not given enough time to install the machines. If water leaks cause property damage, the technician has to pay out of pocket, often tens of thousands. Sometimes, even when handling customer complaints, they are not given enough time to get to the customer's home; being late also results in a bonus deduction. If you run a red light and receive a ticket, you have to pay that out of pocket too.

There is water to drink (as much as you want), and you can broaden your horizons.

There is pre-employment training, but you need to be willing to ask questions.

The requirements are reasonable, the salary offer is quite generous, and they are willing to let newcomers come in and give it a try.

Some companies offer high salaries, but their requirements are correspondingly high.

In addition, you may not even have the opportunity to get in and try.

If you feel that you have the ability and attitude to earn that salary,

you can consider it, but it really isn't easy. (Inevitable.)

You take your leave as scheduled—however many days you are entitled to, you get those days.

If you work on a day off, you can adjust your schedule and take compensatory leave,

and you can completely refrain from handling official business while on leave.

(This part is a personal choice; if you choose to handle work yourself, this does not apply.) Personally, I respond when I have time and completely ignore it when I don't.

The high salary attracts many newcomers, and the turnover rate is correspondingly high. Staff turnover is high.

The evaluation during the probationary period is relatively strict.

The adjustment period is short. It is recommended that only people with a basic foundation in the business or an interest in it give it a try. Employee benefits are very average.

There is a disciplinary system, and you need to be very careful in order to receive the promised salary.

The requirements are too low, so a bunch of newcomers come in who only look at the salary and have extremely poor ability and learning attitudes. Too much time is wasted re-educating them from the basics. It would be better to raise the interview threshold, so they don't accept all kinds of strange people—including people with abnormal attendance, such as someone who was late three days during a seven-day interview period. There are also people who simply don't seriously learn. This causes enormous trouble for the staff on site. Most long-serving employees become fatigued because they are constantly adapting to new hires, and new supervisors feel exhausted.

Too many people lack the attitude a job seeker should have and have absolutely no self-awareness. Only after being eliminated do they whine and complain.

I'm fine with the work content and have adapted fairly well.

But the newcomers who have every kind of problem really seem endless; they are the biggest reason people genuinely can't stand it anymore.

It depends on the position. The basic salary plus commission for store-floor work is really not high.

The bonus system is also just okay. Unless your performance is truly excellent,

you can only receive a “medium-high” salary. (A minority.)

You can choose to pursue promotion or transfer to a position with relatively higher pay (moving into a store), but after moving up, almost all of them eventually leave. Very few people are able to establish themselves.

The salary is quite generous by industry accounting standards.

1. The manager needs to improve their emotional control and often insults people with personal attacks such as: “Are you sick?” and “Is there something wrong with your brain?”

2. The company ignores the Labor Standards Act’s provision allowing 30 days of sick leave per year. When an employee needs to take time off to recuperate from an illness, the company pressures them with termination.

3. The manager questions whether leave requests are genuine (even after the reason was explained during the phone call, they do not listen and just keep talking about themselves, repeating the same points endlessly). They also question whether the employee’s previous job was genuine. They make these accusations without thinking and have serious logical problems.

4. The manager believes that if you take extended leave due to illness, you should humbly feel very sorry about it, and even uses emotional pressure by saying: “Everyone has to share your workload, and nobody gets a raise. Why don’t you mention that I help other colleagues too?”

5. This is a place that treats employees as disposable. The manager hires people and then, when laying them off, says that their experience does not meet the requirements. Did they not look at the résumé in the first place?

This is an idiotic company with a brain-dead manager. How has this company not gone under yet?

Garbage!

N

The turnover rate is extremely high in every department. This is a company that treats employees as disposable chopsticks, and I genuinely do not recommend joining it.

The company has many unwritten rules. For example, with its various reward and punishment systems, you may not see a single reward in a month, but there are a pile of punishments, with 3,000 or 5,000 deducted. The salaries listed on employment websites are nothing more than bait.

The turnover rate is so high that it is truly pathetic. That is why, as soon as you make your résumé public, if this company is within your area, you will almost certainly receive a call from it!

And really, don’t be fooled by that bait. During the interview, they may even sprinkle some sesame seeds on it for you, making it look more appetizing—but in reality, you may not get to eat it and might even have to pay money back.

Hehe, no explanation needed.

The interviewing supervisor was very experienced. They explained the job duties, salary, bonuses, and policies clearly, but not in detail.

They perfectly avoided every part that could have been avoided, for example:

Since the interview was conducted by phone, why require applicants to go to the designated store for the interview?

They said the résumé needed to be filled out. If that is the case, why not have the company set up a form on its official website for applicants to complete online, instead of making them travel a long way? Right?

The supervisor sat in the office waiting for the store manager to relay messages via LINE to the interviewee during the phone interview. Why go through this unnecessary charade without any sincerity?

During the brief stay of several dozen minutes, three people came to the store for interviews. The HR department must be very diligent in inviting large numbers of unemployed people.

I have never encountered a company that proactively invites people to interviews like this. It is not difficult to imagine that employee turnover is unusually high.

The company's store staff were actually very friendly, but they seemed quite uneasy. Why? Because they cannot retain employees?

After reading many reviews of the company, I found the high salary very attractive, but I cannot agree with the company's culture.

A company with a negative-review rate as high as 70%? Hmm... I would not dare aspire to work there.

None

The training for new employees is extremely poor. You also have to record a very boring, scripted promotional video for the company’s products, and after accompanying a senior colleague only 2–3 times, you’re expected to go out on assignments by yourself. These assignments involve drilling holes and installing equipment, yet the machine comes with absolutely no installation manual.

Working hours: Officially listed as 12:30 to 21:30, but in practice you have to arrive one hour early. The earliest you can leave is 10 p.m.; as for the latest—sorry, it’s a responsibility-based system. I’ve seen people leave as late as 1–2 a.m. It’s extremely exploitative. There is a salary item called the “Implementation Bonus” of 16,000, but sorry—no one has ever received it.

Working hours start around noon.

HR called unexpectedly and said it was an interview invitation, claiming that customer service could earn more than 60K per month.

During the actual interview, I did not see any HR manager. There were only a bunch of people walking around the store. After waiting in the store for about ten minutes, no one paid any attention to the interviewee. It felt like the manager knew there was an interview but still failed to be punctual. This was really sloppy and definitely a terrible interview experience.

Only after I spoke up about the interview did a store manager come out and casually hand me a form to fill out. They briefly explained selling machines and distinguishing VIP customers with service contracts, etc., but did not explain the original retail price of a machine or approximately how much commission could be earned after making a sale. They only mentioned a figure without explaining whether it was reasonable. Regardless of how much experience you have, you will be treated as if you have none. Then they asked about my expected salary and whether I had any other questions. I asked a professional question, but the store manager seemed unwilling to answer and just said they would explain it after I joined. After I finished asking, they said, “Okay, that’s all for today.”

The interview process was really quite sloppy. It felt like the 60K figure was just a small tactic to lure people in to sell machines for them. I absolutely do not recommend going for an interview.

During the interview, they painted an overly rosy picture: the internal office work was described as simple, involving only answering calls and assigning basic work orders, with no sales pressure.

Only after actually starting and undergoing job training did I discover that the work was completely different from what I had imagined. I sincerely advise you not to be misled by what they say in the interview.

1. There are far too many and overly complicated group chats: You have to join 30 or 40 groups. I was even advised on the spot to get a company phone (using your own money—even a few hundred dollars is still money).

2. The procedures are cumbersome: After making a call, you have to report it in several groups. You are constantly warned that you will be scolded if you post in the wrong group, and the work is not as simple as described during the interview. Oh, and they also say that if they notice you haven't answered calls for a while, you'll be scolded 0.0. With procedures that complicated, who can immediately answer the next call right after finishing one?

3. The supervisor apparently has emotional-control issues: This point was repeatedly emphasized as a “preemptive warning” during training :)

4. Bizarre job duties: You are expected to memorize the administrative divisions of every area in Taiwan (super! bizarre!), then use Google Maps to look up the locations of water dispenser installations and the distances between them == It really doesn't seem like something customer service should have to do.... Such a stupid method.

5. There is some sales involved, but no performance bonus: Customer service staff don't compete with technicians for sales credit, but they do need to “sell contracts,” and it doesn't count toward their own performance @@

6. You have to pay for mistakes: You must manually transcribe “prices,” and if you enter one incorrectly, you have to cover the price difference yourself 0.0. One position is responsible for checking whether customer service entered the prices correctly. What's strange is that if the price is wrong, customer service bears full responsibility, while the person responsible for checking bears none. There is also no subsequent mechanism for customer service to remedy the situation or apologize to the customer—they can only pay the money directly.

No advantages

I had been doing this job for less than a month, and after only two days of training, I was told to go live (the training was clearly insufficient). I worked in customer service, and the main issue was that as soon as a customer complained about you, the supervisor would fine you. It was completely unreasonable. Moreover, this job did not take into account how hard you worked at all. As soon as you made a mistake, you could expect to be fired. They attract you with a high salary and then keep eliminating people. They simply do not have that many positions. As soon as a new person comes in, you can expect to be eliminated. This company cannot retain employees and will not listen to what you have to say, especially the supervisor whose name includes “Yu.” They were simply looking for someone to take the blame. I sincerely recommend not wasting your time and energy at this company. I worked overtime every day and worked harder than everyone else, yet I was blamed solely because of a customer’s misplaced anger. Ha. So think carefully before joining. This company’s policies are terrible and its work assignments are poorly handled. A customer takes their anger out on you, you receive an inexplicable complaint, and then you get fired. The whole thing is completely absurd. I sincerely recommend not wasting your time.

The water tastes pretty good, and you can learn some things about drinking water.

I worked there for a month, and the company had absolutely no educational SOP. It’s also possible that the Kaohsiung store manager was a new hire and simply not very capable. It’s true that during our onboarding period, we had exams, a training schedule, and a review checklist, but it was all just for show—we’d casually tick a few boxes, add a date, upload it, and that was it. They didn’t teach us anything before sending us to customers’ homes to perform maintenance, repairs, and installations. When we called to ask questions, the manager would complain that they were getting too many calls and were very busy. I saw a steady stream of new people coming in for interviews every week, and just as many leaving. Even experienced technicians couldn’t stay: some resigned, while others simply stopped taking orders from the store manager. The company makes it sound like work starts at 12:30, but we still had to arrive early in the morning to attend the store manager’s lectures. If you didn’t come in on your day off, you’d be subjected to emotional blackmail, with comments like, “Whether you come in or not, and how you perform—I see it all.” Most absurdly, they pressured us every day to record videos of our sales scripts, but never gave us time to film them. We had to arrive early to attend classes, then start preparing materials and tools at 12:30 before heading to customers’ homes, and stay busy outside all day. When we had no time to record the videos, they would turn around and criticize everyone’s attitude. The manager constantly talked about people quitting, saying things like, “We’re not short of staff; it’s fine if you want to leave.” But what’s the reality? Chien Shan Water Purification is seriously uneven in terms of experience and ability: almost everyone is new, with only a few veterans. The entire store has a dozen or so technicians, both experienced and new, serving all of the Kaohsiung–Pingtung area as well as Liuqiu. During our first week, they had us accompany experienced technicians for one or two days, and then expected us to go out on our own and persuade customers to buy machines and sign contracts. As for the sales-script videos, they kept pressuring us to make them without giving us a deadline. After I finished speaking, I posted it in the group, and the manager then unleashed another barrage of emotional blackmail. Living every day under the shadow of a store manager who uses emotional blackmail and moral coercion is exhausting 🙄🙄🙄🙄. On top of that, whenever we visited customers, we sometimes had to clean up the mess left behind by senior technicians.

They usually let you know very quickly when to start work~~

You can find many negative reviews online. Read around a bit and you’ll understand~~

No pros

As long as something in the company’s script is missing or you haven’t brought it to the attention of the store manager and auditors, they’ll start chewing you out. Also, if the photo doesn’t capture it, an outright major demerit of $5,000 is imposed, and your entire salary is gone. There are also warnings, minor demerits, and major demerits, amounting to $1,000, $3,000, and $5,000 respectively. The company has a whole bunch of rules: if you fail to do just one part, $1,000 or $3,000 is immediately deducted. If you don’t follow the company’s many rules, your salary disappears right away. Previously it was $26,000; now it’s $32,000, with a little over $30,000 left after labor and health insurance deductions. It was raised close to $32,000 because deductions from your salary are inevitable, so they raised it that high. They keep telling us to brainwash customers into buying our products, while constantly saying that Hezhong’s products are bad. It’s truly an unethical company, and it also falsely claims to have been in business for more than 20 years.

This job is very easygoing. On weekdays, you work 7.5 hours: standing for 6 hours, with one meal break and two 15-minute breaks.

On holidays, you stand for 8 hours, with a 1-hour meal break and four 15-minute breaks.

You get paid just for standing there. Even without any sales, there is still a base salary.

The reality: I submitted my resignation and worked until the end of my shift that day, clocking out as usual, but the company counted that day as an absence without leave. After that, I stopped going to the company, and they counted every day as an absence without leave until my salary for the month was completely deducted, then simply did not pay me anything. I personally find this extremely outrageous. You work hard standing there, yet you cannot even receive the basic wage. If you plan to resign, I suggest resigning after receiving your salary at the end of the month. Don’t be like me—I resigned in the middle of the month, and all the work I had done beforehand was for nothing. I even spent money on meals every day and wasted 8 hours a day at this company.

The most efficient part of the whole place is the resignation process!

They lure people in with a high salary, but in reality it’s something you can see but never get, because that high salary only applies after passing the probationary period...... The probationary salary is pitifully low! The reason it’s something you can see but never get is that very few people can make it through probation! So at this company, anyone who lasts a year is already considered a veteran. The turnover rate is extremely high.

New accounts are being created in the system every day—one batch replacing another. You keep meeting new people until one day you’re pulled into the break room for a private talk and find out that it’s your last day at work.

None

The supervisor really has an awful temper and speaks extremely rudely. No matter how you explain things, they are never satisfied. I don't know why Qianshan Pure Water's upper management is unaware of this department supervisor's problems?? They complain about this and that at their desk all day, and they do not even remember new employees' names—extremely rude. Also, the positive comments on this website must have been posted by the supervisor or the supervisor's associates to manipulate the reviews, because anyone who has worked there knows that this department has the highest turnover rate. It also seems that everyone merely maintains a superficial relationship with the supervisor. Believe me! No one could possibly praise it. On my first day, two of us started together, and I even witnessed someone being persuaded to quit. I don't believe all those people before us were persuaded to leave because they performed poorly?? They are simply deceiving people. The salary discussed during the initial interview was changed when we arrived: they said that unless we worked a certain number of days, we would be paid the minimum wage, and then required us to sign. Who would dare refuse to sign at that moment.... I also never expected to be told that I performed poorly and be persuaded to leave. Before being hired, I had seen the reviews from previous employees, but I was still attracted by the salary and took the job. That was my own foolishness. Money is important, but dignity is more important. For a job that shows no respect for people and interviews several people together, other than luring people with a high salary and then persuading them to leave, I don't know what else to say. I have had many jobs, and this is the first time I have posted a review. I hope no one else gets deceived. By the way, I did not apply for this job myself; they contacted me and asked me to come for an interview. A truly good job would not be filled so casually.

The water from the water purifier should be pretty clean.

The supervisor in charge of phone interviews has a bad temper and very little patience. They get angry after only a few sentences, and scold people for not following their way of training. We also followed all the scripts, but were repeatedly told verbally that we were not speaking well enough. It feels like they want us to resign on our own. On my first day at the headquarters, someone else started at the same time, and the entire department had only three people. I think the heavy psychological pressure is also one reason the salary is so high. There were more people making recruitment calls in the recruitment department earlier on. When a company has such a high turnover rate, there is clearly a problem: they spend all day calling people, then cannot retain them, and the cycle continues. I hope everyone will not be deceived by the high salary when applying!

Colleagues are easy to get along with

The lunch boxes near the company are pretty good

1. None of the colleagues around me had been with the company for more than two months, which in itself is a major problem.

2. They started requiring KPIs less than a week after I joined. I hadn’t even learned everything properly yet—how could I possibly meet them?

3. My supervisor checks in from time to time, and their mood is quite extreme.

None

When I went to the head office for an interview, I was interviewed together with another candidate, and my salary and résumé details were explained completely. I felt that my privacy was seriously violated. Shouldn't HR have a sense of confidentiality?

I have three years of work experience, but at the beginning of the interview, the manager said that I was invited because I was a blank slate. Hello, is it really that difficult to look at a candidate's résumé first?

As long as you are willing to put in the effort and work hard, the company offers a high salary and opportunities for promotion to management!

The highest salaries in the water purification industry

Makes unreasonable demands and only cares about performance, not service.

Treats technicians as salespeople and does not value the quality of their service!

Makes excessively demanding requirements of supervisors; there is always an endless amount of work, working until midnight is considered normal, and they are often replaced at any time!

For sales staff, bonuses are paid once every three months. With a base salary of 22K paid monthly, who can survive? If items go missing from the store, the salesperson has to pay for them!

The bonus is renamed as a dividend, and disciplinary actions directly deduct the bonus (dividend), effectively making it legal. What a clever move!

None

This company doesn’t review resumes at all. They just scattergun candidates, inviting them to interviews by phone without any screening. It’s basically harassment. I recommend setting up keyword blocking.

The process was very quick.

Salary system:

During the probationary period: NT$26K; upon official appointment: NT$22K–24K; reserve management trainee: +NT$15K

Leave system:

Shift-based

Evaluation system:

No specific method was explained,

but evaluations will definitely be related to performance and the sales volume of key products!!

If the company says you have not met the target,

there is a possibility of being transferred or demoted~~

Those who care a lot about their salary

need to pay attention to this major issue!!

I got a glimpse of the recording-pen culture that the predecessors mentioned,

during this interview.

Although I had agreed to go for an on-site internship,

more interview invitations came in,

so I decided to explore other opportunities~~

Large, clean store space

Interview experience for a store assistant position at the Hsinchu Qianshan Water Purification branch:

I received a call from HR at the head office inviting me to an interview the following afternoon.

When I went to the store the next afternoon and said I had an interview appointment, the store manager and employees looked confused.

The receptionist even looked annoyed and asked me harshly, “Who told you to come?”

Including me, three people had been invited to interview that afternoon (it felt like HR at the head office was randomly contacting people).

After filling out the company’s standard form, the store manager called us over to explain the job duties and compensation together, followed by a brief interview.

The only interview questions were what I did at my previous job and why I left.

Since I was a recent graduate, the store manager only asked me questions related to my field of study.

Job duties: Entering orders, serving customers in the store, scheduling repair routes for maintenance engineers, and calling former customers in the evening.

Working hours: 12:30–21:30, with four days off scheduled per month (consecutive days off are not allowed).

However, employees have to wait for the engineers to return to the store and submit their receipts, so work usually ends after 22:00.

There is no overtime pay for the time spent waiting for engineers to return to the store.

Compensation: Base salary of NT$27,000 + NT$1,000–3,000 in profit-sharing bonuses, with the monthly salary paid in two installments.

The probationary period is three months; after passing it, the salary increases by NT$1,000, with another NT$1,000 increase after one year.

Interview result: No response.

Basically, the relationships among colleagues are good.

This company is understaffed all the time. Don't expect anyone to teach you when you first join, because everyone else is about as inexperienced as you are. If you can adapt and develop your skills on your own, you can stay; otherwise, there are actually other, brighter options.

The job is in commercial sales. After a 7–15 day probationary period, the base salary is NT$50,000–60,000, with bonuses calculated separately.

The overall compensation is good, and the supervisor is quite dedicated to training you. P.S. A few of the junior sales assistants are pretty cute XD

Because the company is expanding, it is constantly recruiting new employees, so sometimes you have to help train newcomers.

When I interviewed for the technician position, after passing the initial one-month probation, the base salary was NT$50,000 plus bonuses, bringing it to around NT$65,000–70,000, in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.

The standards are very strict, so passing is not guaranteed. Of the five people who joined at the time, the others were dismissed after only a few days.

None

They laid people off this year, and now they’re going to lay off more staff again around the end of December through before the Lunar New Year, so they don’t have to pay year-end bonuses! How clever.

If you make too many mistakes at work, they’ll simply tell you to leave and won’t provide severance pay.

This is an installation and maintenance position.

The manager at the Banqiao store, Manager Lin, is sincere. You can try the job for two days (it is uncertain whether they are paid). A company vehicle is provided. Commission-based system (3% for renewals, 1.5% for new installations, approximately 80 per line).

Complies with the Labor Standards Act.

The salary is 26K, which differs from the 32K advertised online.

You must provide your own voice recorder. Regarding overtime pay, filling out paper reports does not count; only installations at customers’ homes count. Commuting back from the customer’s location also does not count.

Service areas (Xindian, Banqiao, Wanhua, Zhonghe and Yonghe).

1. Although phone outreach is required, there is generally no performance pressure, and it is not mandatory.

2. It is very close to the MRT station, if you are confirmed to be working at this particular store on a fixed basis.

1. During the interview, the supervisor could not clearly explain how much the probationary salary actually was. Initially, they said NT$30,000 over the phone, then said NT$26,000 during the interview, and later said it was NT$29,000. However, during the first three months, they would pay only NT$27,000, then give you the NT$2,000 withheld from each of the first three months in the fourth month.

2. The back of the interview information form was actually something someone else had filled out previously, meaning their personal information was completely exposed (phone number, address, name, and date of birth).

Received a considerate phone call from HR asking whether I would attend the interview, and even received a reminder about the interview time beforehand. I felt that the company was very attentive.

They called too many times. When I missed the call, they did not write to let me know what it was about. I had to call to confirm. There was also a record of the interview time being changed.

***I was absolutely speechless. After finally making it to the store for the interview, the store manager was busy introducing products to customers. Three counter staff members were sitting inside, one of whom was wearing capri pants and had tattoos on their arms.... Then I was asked to leave early and go home because there were too many other people waiting for interviews in the store.... This was extremely disrespectful. They called people in for interviews and then treated them like this.

P.S.: Perhaps the service industry can easily find plenty of people and does not require much experience. If the company treats job applicants this way, then I have to ask: what kind of working atmosphere do the employees inside have?

HR takes a scattershot approach; when you see the call, you can simply decline it without wasting time.

HR takes a scattershot approach; when you see the call, you can simply decline it without wasting time.

Flattery and bootlicking determine the level of your position.

The R&D environment is relaxed, with music playing loudly on the radio—an easy place to coast.

A family business with a second-generation owner who does not value talent.

The young, inexperienced second-generation owner gradually comes to enjoy hearing flattering praise, treating mediocre employees as talented ones.

R&D is treated like God: there are many product problems, but limited ability to solve them, while the boss backs R&D unconditionally.

Many materials used by R&D lack specifications and verification/inspection data. When something goes wrong, they shamelessly shift the blame to the manufacturing and quality-assurance units.

Some water-filtration certification results fail to meet the standards claimed in sales pitches.

Moldy/expired/recycled products—completely unscrupulous and without limits.

Employees are used and discarded; the attitude is that, since there is money, replacements can always be found.

No bonuses for the three major holidays, no company trips, and no year-end banquet. The boss pretends not to know, while year-end bonuses depend on the boss’s mood.

Sometimes there is a year-end banquet, with slow-moving inventory given away as raffle prizes.

Manufacturing-unit employees are mostly brushed off with only a few thousand dollars as a year-end bonus.

New employees receive no year-end bonus during their first six months to a year.

There is no intention of cultivating talent; if there is money, someone else can be found to do the work.

From time to time, money is deducted from installation technicians and other staff under various pretexts.

They are very skilled at using sales tactics to deceive consumers into replacing their machines with more expensive ones.

At the beginning of last month, I went for an interview for a maintenance engineer position. Since I could only start work on March 1, the interviewer said that if they found someone who could start immediately, they would notify me on February 20. I accepted that!

As the days went by, I never received any notification. On March 1, I prepared to go in and report for work. When I arrived, the store manager only said one thing to me:

“We found someone! They should have called to notify you!”

That was it! My goodness! I clearly never received a phone call!

They did not even confirm that the notification had reached me, and simply brushed me off like that!

I will put Chien Shan on my list of the least desirable companies!

For such a large company to treat people so carelessly, I feel sorry for their customers!

Bring a recorder to work! They don't respect personal privacy…
