The internal systems at the pharmacy or health and beauty brand are becoming increasingly chaotic.
They keep changing the performance targets.
Store staff are required to sell medicines (you read that right).
If you don’t meet the targets, there’s no bonus~
The funniest thing is that the company places extremely high demands on performance,
yet its marketing costs are close to zero.
Any suggestions you make will be shot down.
They really seem to think we’re magicians.
There has been a major wave of resignations this year
because, over the long term, the company deducts money from everyone’s pay every month.
People got fed up with the deductions and left one after another.
When supervisors hear you discussing other companies in the same industry,
they will even say outright that those places are no good.
They’re really afraid you’ll switch jobs and go work somewhere else.
On top of that, one supervisor’s partner works as a store manager at a branch.
Every day feels like a zoo drama unfolding.
It’s completely out of control.
I just treat it all as a joke.
Why?
Because this supervisor lets that person do whatever they want
and turns a blind eye to it.
Save one person at a time.
If you’re looking for a job in this industry,
I still recommend looking for a larger, more well-known brand.

In August last year, the bonus system was changed to individual performance targets.
Product bonuses were cut in half, and a bunch of products were also tied together, so you have to sell all of them to receive the bonus.
Pharmacists’ individual performance targets are lower than those of pharmacy assistants, but they have to help pharmacy assistants with their work, making it impossible to meet their own individual targets.
The company has reduced the number of staff at each store, so there are situations where one person has to work alone. It’s frightening.
1. Working hours are calculated by the number of hours worked throughout the year, not by the number of leave days. The regular workday is 7 hours, with some days requiring 8 hours. There are 10 days off in January and 8 days off per month.
2. There is no double pay during the Lunar New Year; it is replaced with a red envelope.
3. Birthday bonuses were canceled starting in 2017.
4. Bonuses are partially based on individual performance, and the target bonus is pitifully low.
5. The employee turnover rate is high. Additional hours worked are offset by taking time off at another time, and no overtime pay is provided.
