Read the community guidelinesThe boss seems ambitious and also has strong business skills.
The other employees are quite PEACEful.
I joined the company in the middle of the month. When payday came the following month, I was told that, according to the employment contract I had signed, the employee had agreed to the following provision: “In the event of resignation resulting in employment for less than a full month, wages will be calculated at an hourly rate based on the minimum wage of NT$23,000.”
However, the company had notified me to start in the middle of the month, so how could this be considered an incomplete month due to resignation, requiring my wages to be calculated based on NT$23,000? In addition, my wages were not paid the following month either. I was told that, due to administrative procedures, the wages would be paid together the month after next.
During the interview, I was told that the company would fully cover taxi fares and gas expenses for field sales work. However, when I actually had to work in the field, I was told, “After you’ve been here for three months, we’ll try to get approval for you to take taxis.”
There is no labor or health insurance for the first five days for new hires. If you have not worked for a full month, you will not be paid ((this is stated in the contract)).
A reminder to everyone: if the monthly salary is not at least NT$28,000, it is absolutely impossible to reach NT$22,000 after deducting all costs.
Because you provide your own scooter, pay for your own three meals, pay for your own fuel, and pay for your own parking.
Even if you are a new hire who only makes deliveries in Taipei City, you will still be constantly going back and forth between Taipei Main Station and Neihu every day...
You must be available whenever called. If they CALL you to return to the company, you have to go back, even if you are somewhere very far away or have not finished your deliveries =_="
There is no overtime pay at all. The company says work ends at 6 p.m., but basically you will always work past 7 p.m.; I have even experienced getting off work at 11 p.m.!
Also, if you want to come here to learn something, there is nothing to learn here...
Finally, if you are considering getting promoted, there is no hope here either. Many colleagues have been here for five to seven years and are doing exactly the same work as you -.-"
It all went downhill immediately after I joined.
The pay wasn’t much either; it was offset against motorcycle expenses and fuel costs.
At the time, the listed salary was 2.4K, but calculated monthly it should have been only 1.8K.
The internal training was terrible—there was practically none.
You had to go out and make deliveries every day.
The main thing was being fast enough; you would also get extra jobs piled on. If you could only visit five places a day, they would often load you up with six or even seven.
The boss especially liked holding meetings during lunch breaks....
Only suitable for briefly learning the basics of PC repair; you could probably leave after about six months.
