Field work

On my last day, they still insisted that I stay at the company all day to complete the departure procedures.

No one knows how the fuel allowance is calculated.

I spent over 3,000 on fuel, but they only gave me 1,000.

I also had to fill out a bunch of forms and wait for the manager to sign them.

After working for half a month, I still ended up losing money.

The training for new employees was given reluctantly, as if they were unwilling to teach us.

You have to clock in when you arrive, but after work it’s a responsibility-based system with no fixed hours.

You also have to use your own car, and you’re pressured to meet performance targets.

If you don’t meet the targets, they won’t pay the bonus.

Even working at a gas station would be better than this.

(1) The salary is clearly just the minimum wage, plus bonuses only if targets are met (if you fail to meet them => get ready to leave, and you will not be paid the bonus either).

(2) Promotion involves layer upon layer of evaluation; meeting performance targets comes first, and higher educational qualifications are considered useless. Yet supervisors are often people who have not studied much, with only average knowledge and leadership abilities, leaving employees to be tightly controlled.

(3) Although the products are decent, they are not worth this price. The inflated value and extremely high profit margins are created through added charges. Because of the salespeople’s wildly exaggerated descriptions, customers are left with the mistaken impression that the products are in the Mercedes class, but in reality they are no better than well-known brands such as Electrolux and Dyson.

(1) Product prices are not synchronized with those in Europe, and there is a price difference; consumers who are reasonably proficient in foreign languages can find that prices in Taiwan are more expensive than the online prices in the EU.

(2) The products generate excessive profits and extraordinarily high margins. Anyone with some engineering background can tell that the products do not cost nearly as much to produce.

(3) Sales activities are tightly controlled by the group. The entire team may have difficulty getting off work because of inconsistent actions or delays caused by a few attention-seekers, resulting in overtime work without overtime pay and half the results for twice the effort.

They called to invite me to an interview, but HR didn’t even send a confirmation email, which was quite baffling.

When I arrived, the reception staff were all fairly old.

The interview was conducted partly in English and partly in Chinese. They did not ask clear questions, apparently believing that if you prepared well, you would be able to answer the key points. However, if they felt you had not answered the key points, they would interrupt you directly and ask you to answer again. They were really aggressive.

Throughout the interview, they kept criticizing my experience and questioning my abilities. The interviewer also seemed not to have a good understanding of current marketing, so we were constantly on different wavelengths, and I was then questioned for supposedly not having prepared.

The company information did not mention that it was a direct-sales business, but everything shared online said it was direct sales. When I brought this up during the interview, they immediately said that I had not checked the information carefully, that I had got it wrong, and then continued to argue defensively.

Although they boast that they are the world’s fifth-largest direct-sales company, it is hard to believe that their salary levels are competitive.

1. They called, only said the company name, and asked me to come for an interview tomorrow.

2. The recruitment page on the job bank says on its own that this isn't multi-level marketing. It's clearly an attempt to cover it up, which is ridiculous—like a politician constantly saying they aren't corrupt.

You are almost always called into the office on holidays, and there is no overtime pay
