Read the community guidelinesA bunch of red flags before even having the interview
This happened in the middle of the month. Since I was still employed and looking for a job, I could only schedule the interview during times when the interviewer was available. However, after we had agreed on a day for the interview, Director Wang, the operations manager for the northern region, said she had something to do that day and would not be returning to headquarters, so she wanted to reschedule the interview for another time at a store. I agreed, but at around 8 a.m. on the day of the interview, she suddenly messaged me to change the location because she had something else come up and wanted to reschedule the interview at another location. Earlier, I had also asked whether she could directly provide information about the salary structure, but she never gave me a clear answer. It was not until I called her that day to reconfirm whether there was another time we could arrange the interview that she said they did not conduct verbal interviews. She also spoke to me very rudely, saying that she was accommodating my schedule, not the other way around. I am the job seeker, and I had already communicated the times when I was available for an interview. Yet she was the one who kept changing the interview location, always saying that something had come up. If the location keeps being changed every time something comes up, how am I supposed to interview with you? Wasn't I also continuously accommodating you? The quality of this company is truly astonishing.

At the beginning of the interview, the supervisor kept showing me internal company information and telling me how they do things
(the key point is that I was only there for an interview).
They also didn't seem interested in hearing about my work experience.
Then they kept emphasizing that the workload was heavy and that overtime was frequent,
with lots of unexpected situations and blah blah.
In the end, the salary they offered was extremely low—lower than what I earned right after graduating and entering the workforce.
I was stunned. It was completely different from the "regular salary of over 40,000" listed on 104.....I felt completely deceived.
The interview experience was not very good.
I did not feel that they were professional.

This company is absolute garbage
1. Managers only want sycophants
2. Managers practice completely emotional management
3. Colleagues are extremely scheming and very good at ostracizing people (those who don't flatter them)
4. There is always a senior colleague who likes to dump their work on you
5. Being late results in losing the perfect-attendance bonus. Thirty seconds late and they still docked me 2 dollars??
6. It was only my third day, and I had no idea the company had a boss's wife. Because I didn't greet her, I was immediately called into a small room and berated as an idiot?
7. Every mistake, no matter whose fault, is always the new employee's fault

1. The supervisor's emotional management style; other posts have already elaborated on this. Because you didn't get into her good graces (by being a sycophant), you couldn't earn her favor. I'm sorry, but I couldn't remember what she drinks at Starbucks.
2. Because of physiological anatomy, you were misinterpreted as being fussy and were anonymously reported, with your work abilities questioned.
3. Colleagues in the same department were asked to monitor you; even the number of times you left your seat to use the restroom had to be recorded and reported.
4. There are problems with the work procedures, but no matter how the issue is reviewed, it is always your fault rather than the fault of the other people who made mistakes. (Because you don't know how to be a sycophant.)
5. The company's clock-in rules can be violated by asking someone else to clock in for you (and it was a senior employee of the company).
6. The supervisor has problematic aesthetic sensibilities.
7. They love to paint an overly rosy picture, but you will never get to enjoy the benefits. If you perform too well, it is easy for others' underhanded tactics to bring you down.
I recommend that people who lack patience and do not want to learn how to be a sycophant not try this lightly.
It is easy to get stuck here, be defeated by the final boss, and then be ostracized by a bunch of scheming colleagues.
Low frequency of overtime
When applying for overtime pay or taking leave, you are given a hard time by accounting.
The product department manager is emotional and difficult to work with.

The supervisor scheduled an interview.
When the time was approaching, they said they were busy and wanted to postpone it by an hour.
Then, when the rescheduled time arrived, the supervisor said they couldn't make it and would notify me later about a new interview time.
They never followed up, and I was ghosted.
Infrequent overtime
Family-owned business. The boss is stingy, salaries are low, and pay is deducted for being late. The work atmosphere is poor, and there is severe infighting among colleagues.
The company culture is traditional and conservative. Many incompetent long-term employees contribute nothing yet cling to their high salaries.
