吉帝旅行社有限公司

Colleagues get along very harmoniously.

A travel agency that prioritizes cleaning. If you are thinking about getting married, do not join this company, because when you take marriage leave, someone will clear out your seat, and after you return to the company, they will transfer you to another position without giving you a raise. Supervisors also occasionally slam their desks and shout at you, or they have absolutely no ability to handle matters and only keep making excuses and putting things off (especially those in the Ticketing Department and the Finance and Accounting Department). During the daily morning meetings, the boss even compares employees to animals (are we running a zoo?).

I really can’t think of any.

Sorry.

There are already plenty of comments online about the drawbacks of interviewing with this company, so I’m just adding a few more details.

At first, regardless of the position, everyone is taken to a place with desks and chairs to fill out basic information and take a personality test.

If you are applying for an administrative position,

they may also ask you to write some copy on the spot.

Will you have to wait after finishing the paperwork?

Yes, you will,

until she comes back to call you,

but I didn’t wait as long as the other commenters online did.

I waited about 30 minutes.

The position I interviewed for was overseas tour leader.

I was taken to a large room that looked like the general manager’s office,

and the interviewer and I sat at a conference table in front of the office desk.

The interviewer was extremely young,

probably under 30.

It felt like they had simply been placed there to serve as the first line of defense.

The interviewer only asked two or three scattered questions,

such as: Where have you mainly led tours in the past? Do you have any licenses or certifications? Why did you apply to our company?

Then they asked: So, do you have any questions?

Questions?

I had a whole lot of questions!

We hadn’t discussed anything yet, had we?

Salary?

The terms of cooperation?

You don’t want to hear about my past tour-leading experience?!

Are you trying to rush through everyone because you took on too many applicants?

Based on experience, I knew this definitely meant my qualifications didn’t meet their requirements.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have moved on so quickly.

At that point, I didn’t have much hope,

and I even felt that not getting the job might be better,

because this company’s way of recruiting is essentially like blindly firing in all directions,

and the way they operate is highly questionable.

I even had to take a bus all the way north.

In conclusion, when this company invites people to interview,

it does not conduct any screening beforehand.

They simply call everyone in,

which makes things more convenient for them.

But honestly,

the interview questions were extremely simple and very few in number.

If they had confirmed things by phone beforehand,

I wouldn’t have had to go there in person at all.

This only wastes other people’s time and money,

and also needlessly consumes the company’s personnel resources.

The HR staff call people,

and the interviewers conduct the interviews,

with very little efficiency or structure.

There are 5–7 people in each time slot.

From what I observed, they bring in one group every half hour...

So, should you go to the interview or not?

I suggest thinking it over carefully.

If you don’t really want the job,

you can decisively decline.

After actually going to the interview, I found that it wasn't as... scary as everyone said.

Personally, I thought we had a great conversation, and I also learned a few things.

But perhaps it depends on the interviewing manager? I interviewed for a front-end engineering position, though there seemed to be quite a few applicants for business-related roles around me.

I wasn't sure what some of the individual questions in the aptitude questionnaire were asking XD

None

Currently, after interviewing with more than a dozen companies, this was by far the worst.

More than ten interviewees were crammed together into a small room.

We filled out basic information and a personality test.

Some of the questions were ridiculous, but I couldn't be bothered to criticize them.

After finishing, we waited to be called.

The interview was at 11:00, and I finished writing around 11:15.

Then, after waiting until 12:30 without being called, I left.

I waited for over an hour—an incredible waste of time.

I had absolutely no idea what we were waiting for.

1. Writing the questions—ten minutes—personality analysis

2. The questions and answers were very detailed—it felt like they were collecting customer information

3. The promotion channels seemed transparent—it felt like they were trying to avoid being misunderstood by job seekers

1. There was no follow-up after the interview (no response)

2. They asked a lot of questions, but it felt like they were only collecting information

3. You have to wear a blue uniform—the digital media advertising specialist is responsible for meeting performance targets (there are one-month and three-month performance reviews)

4. I tried using their website to place an order, but the response was very slow, so I would not consider them as one of the vendors for future travel services

Some colleagues are nice

You'd better work overtime until the end of time if you want to get on the boss's good side

The boss keeps saying how good they are to employees, but then keeps delaying the bonuses

If you don't work overtime, watch out—the higher-ups may pull tricks to force you to resign

There are still good colleagues.

1. The terms agreed upon during the interview did not match the actual conditions after I started work.

2. They did not enroll me in Labor Insurance and National Health Insurance as required by the Labor Standards Act, nor did they promptly process the new employee information. Even after I had worked for 8 days, it still had not been completed.

3. The working environment was extremely dirty and messy, with the foul smell of dead rats. Reportedly, this had happened more than once.

4. I resigned, but the wages owed to me still have not been paid.

*Agreeing to a probationary period is not illegal under the Labor Standards Act. However, regarding the legal relationship during the probationary period, the Council of Labor Affairs has issued an interpretation stating that workers during their probationary period are also covered by the Labor Standards Act. Therefore, regardless of working hours, rest periods, regular days off and holidays, overtime pay, wage payments, workers’ compensation, and so on, employers may not reduce these entitlements for probationary workers. In addition, employers must enroll probationary workers in Labor Insurance and make monthly contributions to their labor pension accounts. Most importantly, even if a worker fails the probationary period, regardless of how long the worker has provided labor—even if it was only one day—the employer must legally pay the wages and severance pay calculated proportionally. Employers may not withhold wages as a penalty for breach of contract or as compensation. Otherwise, the employer violates the full-payment principle under Article 22 of the Labor Standards Act and may be fined under the law.

*Failure to enroll employees in Labor Insurance and National Health Insurance is illegal.

There is hot tea.

You are required to print your own résumé from 104 Job Bank. After arriving, regardless of the position you applied for, everyone first went into a room to complete what was essentially a personality analysis questionnaire—simple checkboxes. Then they started calling people in batches of three or four. I imagine most people were applying for sales positions.

Next were the copywriting applicants, only a handful, because copywriting had a separate set of questions to complete. This did not seem very fair to me, since those who arrived early had more time to finish, while those who arrived on time were actually disadvantaged?

After going in, the interviewer said that this was only the first stage, just to get an initial look at everyone’s basic conversational ability.

We each introduced ourselves and talked about our work experience. There were not many other questions. Then she asked which countries we had visited and whether we had traveled independently or with a tour group.

Three people went in together, and the whole thing took only 10 minutes........

There was absolutely no introduction to the company, and they immediately announced that the interview was over, without giving us a chance to ask questions.

Overall, I did not have a very good impression.... I had spent 1.5 hours completing the earlier questions, only to have a 10-minute interview (an average of 3 minutes per person). Yet as a job seeker, I was unable to gain even a basic initial understanding of the company during the first interview.

You can often order delivery, almost every day.

There is a daily morning meeting that lasts over 30 minutes. Overtime is the norm, and working more than three hours of overtime is nothing unusual. Although the boss says overtime is not allowed, employees clock out first and then continue working. It is difficult to take leave, and bonuses are very small.

Low pay, lots of work. The company has extremely ugly blue uniforms. Leaving early incurs a penalty. There is also a morning meeting every day, and on the first Saturday of every month everyone is forced to attend a monthly meeting. Taking leave is met with difficulties. Turnover is extremely high, and every day consists of endless overtime.
