Employees get along very happily, and the same goes for relations between departments. Overall, it is a place with a very cheerful atmosphere at work.

The cheerful employee relationships mentioned above are limited to people at the same level. This company is a family business, and what most often happens in family businesses is a palace-intrigue drama.

The routine work itself is not difficult; exhibition-related tasks simply involve following the established procedures.

However, if those at the top are in a bad mood that day or at that moment, they may block what you are doing—even if it is “correct” or the “right” thing to do—or have certain people question it.

If you are someone who enjoys playing real-time strategy games centered on power struggles, then I have to say that Shanglian is a great game company.

The employees get along very well. Everyone divides up the work and learns from one another. The company also offers excellent benefits—not only do they comply with the Labor Standards Act, but even during the pandemic, salaries have continued to be paid without any impact. The company organizes and manages many exhibitions, and they are all done exceptionally well!

When organizing exhibitions, employees are often asked to work overtime at short notice on holidays. Although compensatory leave is provided, there is rarely any opportunity to take it. The starting salary is also not very high. Unlike some companies, the compensatory leave cannot be exchanged for cash to provide some additional compensation.

If you want the systems and benefits of a foreign company, you have to build up your skills and get a job at one; otherwise, local companies will not offer foreign-company benefits.

It’s a long-established company, and you can learn quite a lot about planning and public relations there. The colleagues aren’t difficult to get along with either. Apart from work, the best part of going to the company is getting unlimited coffee with milk. Awesome.

You often have to work overtime on holidays, and you can only take compensatory leave; there is no option to receive payment instead. You need to continuously pursue further education on your own to improve your planning skills, but whatever you learn is ultimately yours, haha.

I think all the employees at the company are super easy to get along with. For example, Ajian and Lele are very helpful. When I first joined and wasn’t familiar with things, they would help me whenever there was something I didn’t understand. Also, whenever we hold exhibition events, everyone helps each other out—we’re super united!!

There are many situations requiring flexibility to deal with, so you have to manage people’s emotions. Also, there is no overtime pay for working overtime, only compensatory time off—but there’s no opportunity to take it.

Pros

This is my first job, and I’m really happy to have joined such a large company.

I was worried that working here would be very difficult, but the senior colleagues are all very easy to get along with.

There is also free coffee and milk in the office, so when we want to take a break, we can temporarily relax and catch our breath. Because of the pandemic, many of my friends have lost their jobs, so having stable employment at a time like this is actually very fortunate.

I often have to work overtime on holidays, and my boyfriend complains that we can’t go on dates.

My finishing time isn’t fixed—sometimes I leave early and sometimes late, depending on the circumstances of each event.

The events handled by the association are very diverse. As a member of the company, you also need to take on a variety of different tasks. The company's internal training is very important, since it would be concerning to be sent into action immediately without having understood the task. So, if you want to earn a living in this field, you really need to have some skills…

You often need to work overtime on holidays. Although compensatory leave is provided, you cannot have a fixed two-day weekend. If having a two-day weekend is very important to you, don't consider this job.

If you want to test whether you have great passion for the event-company industry, this is a very suitable place to join.

The company provides us with diverse internal training, allowing us to realize our unlimited potential. Colleagues also help one another accomplish seemingly impossible tasks.

Honestly, I’ve really learned a lot. My parents also told me that if I can gain a sense of accomplishment from my work, it’s very worthwhile.

The salary could be better. Sometimes we work many extra hours over consecutive holidays without overtime pay; only compensatory leave is provided.

As long as an exhibition has not been canceled, employees must be present at the venue.

The company has been around for more than 25 years and is very stable. Even though the pandemic was so severe throughout last year, salaries were still paid in full.

Here, you learn while working. The diverse learning opportunities have greatly expanded our skills as colleagues, and some people have even been headhunted because of it!!

The colleagues are also very easy to get along with. People like Da Xiong and Le Le, for example, are very humorous. There is none of the infighting you might find at other companies; everyone helps each other complete exhibitions. The office atmosphere is great, everyone gets along well, and we have strong relationships outside of work too—we even had a gathering recently.

Communication takes more time in a larger group.

You need to have the motivation to learn new information, and you often have to work overtime on weekends. However, if you are looking for a large-company job where you can coast until retirement, this is not the place for you.

I previously worked at the company, and I found everyone there very easy to get along with~~ The boss and his wife are also incredibly generous and kind. They provide many learning opportunities and even hire foreign instructors to help us make up for any gaps in our skills. When I worked there before, because we acquired so many skills, one colleague who had been there for over a year was recruited by another well-known event company.

None

The colleagues are fairly easy to get along with. But the turnover is extremely high! You even have to take leave or use compensatory time off for the year-end party... Unlimited capsule coffee and milk.

There are too many to count. The chairman doesn't know what to do! Whatever comes to mind, he wants to do it; a few hours later, he may change his mind again...

I strongly advise anyone thinking of applying to this company to think twice...

Moreover, the interview process is very chaotic, and there are hardly any benefits to speak of. As for the position the interviewing manager is hiring for, don't hold out too much hope either. This is a family-run company, and there is no such thing as professional management; the boss has the final say... I really wonder how this company has managed to survive for more than 20 years! The exhibitions never change. Last year's version is simply copied and pasted! I feel that whenever there are fewer exhibitions or the year-end arrives, it's time for the boss to lay people off!

The environment is fairly clean

It feels like we’re being monitored...

You have to scan your face even when you leave the office to use the restroom and come back.

You also have to scan your face when arriving at and leaving work. If you forget to scan, you have to ask someone to adjust the surveillance footage...

Also, I don’t like my supervisor. They seem to handle pressure poorly...

They’re only afraid of those above them, and then use the higher-ups to pressure new employees...

They can’t help their subordinates....

Their abilities aren’t very good

The chairman mentioned above passed away two or three years ago

The crazy incidents mentioned earlier no longer occur

My colleagues are all young and easy to get along with

The atmosphere at work is fairly relaxed

The benefits are gradually being adjusted

Very busy before exhibitions

Impacted by the pandemic

Short-staffed

The interviewer laid out the drawbacks upfront: “You may still need to handle work matters after hours,” “How bonuses are calculated and paid,” “When there is an exhibition, sales staff need to provide support at the venue, and the company will provide compensatory leave,” and so on.

The points described above as advantages are all actually drawbacks. In addition, although they were the ones who proactively invited me to the interview, I arrived punctually 10 minutes early as requested. When I got there, I found that there was no one in the office. An auntie came out and said, “Are you here for an interview? The sales staff are all on leave!” They changed the interview to the following day on the spot, which was very disrespectful to job seekers.

The work is actually not difficult. Basically, it is repetitive and does not require innovation; you just keep following the previous procedures.

There are many young people, and the work atmosphere is fairly lively. It is very close to the Xinyi commercial district, so it is convenient to go shopping after work.

It can be a good place for newcomers to the workforce to build up their résumé.

When I worked there, the female chairperson was still in charge, so she drove away many capable or senior employees. Those who remained in that environment were either very inexpensive or very good at ingratiating themselves with her. The chairperson’s standard for employing people was that, as long as you worked overtime so much that you did not need to go home, could continue working at her house on holidays, and did not ask her to pay overtime, she would give you preferential treatment.

Moreover, professional expertise was not valued. Regarding the matters mentioned below:

Sales staff helping move goods, secretaries helping with warehouse management, graphic designers helping with department-store work, the administration department helping people move, the IT department helping at retail counters, and HR staff going to court—all of these are real and deeply troubling incidents.

As mentioned under the advantages, there are many young people in the work environment, but this also makes it easy for a lot of petty and narrow-minded conflicts to arise.

The jobs are all treated as positions with fixed responsibilities, so there is no overtime pay, but it is easy to end up working overtime.

These are all based on my personal experience, but it seems that the company is now managed by a male general manager instead.

Things may be different.

If you still want to apply, think it over carefully.

None

This is beyond ridiculous.

I received an interview invitation that the company itself had sent to me.

When I arrived, the person who greeted me said, “You don’t need to fill out the personnel information form yet. Wait until the manager says you should fill it out.”

After I entered the meeting room, I saw a blank personnel information form and a half-drunk cup of water on the table. It was obvious they had been left by the person who had just interviewed.

While I was wondering why I didn’t need to fill out the form, the manager came in.

After sitting down, the manager didn’t ask much.

They only asked, “Do you have experience placing advertisements?”

Then they rattled off a long explanation:

“Because our company is currently looking for someone with experience,

and we don’t have time to let you figure things out and learn.

In that case, you’re probably not suitable for this position at our company.

Since our HR department didn’t understand what kind of person our department was looking for, they may have sent this email to you.

However, I did look at your résumé, and I think you might be capable in this area. But if you don’t have experience in this field, you could try working for an agency instead. This position at our company probably isn’t suitable for you.”

That made me understand why I saw a blank personnel information form and a half-drunk cup of water when I entered the meeting room.

Apparently, this manager had also used the same excuse to dismiss the previous interviewee.

At that point, I was already completely dumbfounded.

The interviewer even said,

“What’s wrong? Are you sad?”

After reading this, would you still want to go to the interview?

If a company is this disrespectful to interviewees,

why would it be worth working for?

The manager had clearly looked at my résumé and knew I wasn’t suitable, but still asked me to come in just so they could take a look at me, tell me they thought I wasn’t suitable, and then let me leave!

An interviewee’s time is a cost, and transportation is also a cost.

Turning down interviews with other companies because of this interview is also a cost!

Scheduling interview times with different companies before an interview also takes considerable effort!

I urge all interviewees:

Don’t spend the time and effort arranging an interview with this company.

They are extremely disrespectful to interviewees!

The boss makes a lot of money and has bought many properties.

Because the company is profitable, salaries are never delayed or withheld.

Except for sales staff, office employees have a five-day workweek.

The boss has extremely poor emotional intelligence and spares no one when berating people.

Low pay and heavy workloads; everyone is treated as if they were multiple employees.

You may have to work on typhoon days.

Your pay may be docked for making mistakes.

The boss is narrow-minded and often targets competitors.

Bonuses are not paid on time, and when they are paid, various deductions are made.

It is a family business, and the siblings do not get along (the elder sister is the chairperson and the younger brother is the general manager).

The elder sister fears being sidelined, while the younger brother sets his own rules without letting her know.

Because the siblings do not get along, you have to take both of their emotions and opinions into account when doing your work.

They post job openings every day and dismiss employees every day.

The boss has extreme distrust of employees; there are dozens of surveillance cameras in the office.

Sales staff help move goods, secretaries help with warehouse management, graphic designers help with department-store work, the administration department helps with moving, the IT department helps at retail counters, and HR goes to court (because former employees frequently sue). In short, employees in the exhibition industry also have to do department-store work and the boss's personal errands.

It is truly too much to list… I’ll continue in a sequel.

The work environment and atmosphere are both great, and everyone is easy to get along with, just like one big family. Everyone is also very capable at their work. I really enjoy the feeling of working side by side with everyone, and every time we finish organizing an exhibition together, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

You can’t dress too casually for work.

There isn’t much good food nearby, so it’s a bit of a struggle to walk a long way, especially on rainy days.

I feel that my supervisor treats me quite well. Whenever they have time, they are willing to teach me, and most of my colleagues are also very nice and easy to get along with. I think the best thing is that the company also provides subsidies for external training courses. At my previous company, there was no subsidy even when I wanted to take a course. I have truly benefited a lot from coming here, while also saving quite a bit of money. I have to say, this is really great.

You may need to work overtime on holidays, because exhibitions are usually held on holidays. If you want to have every weekend off, you should look elsewhere.

Guaranteed objective review; be sure to read the pros and cons carefully!

1. All managers have very high standards and are extremely demanding. In my opinion, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage: you can receive solid training in job skills and learn how to handle pressure.

2. The capsule coffee and milk on the 11th floor are free to drink as much as you like, but those on the 4th floor cost money (the concept of “one country, two systems”).

As previous reviewers have said, I once again urge everyone considering applying to this company: don’t think, “It’s hard to find a job now; having a job is good enough.”

This is absolutely not a place where you can make money! Nor is it suitable for career development or settling in for the long term!

The biggest problem is the chairwoman, who should have retired long ago. If your interview with her goes smoothly, all I can say is that you are extremely unfortunate!

Do not be deceived by appearances!

Many former employees have already described her conduct, so I will not say much about events from too long ago. This time, I will update you on some of her latest deeds.

1. She loves boasting about past glory, always maintains a lofty attitude, and treats people extremely poorly.

She once directly cut a partner’s price in half and demanded that the partner carry out work not mentioned in the contract. After the partner responded that this was not feasible, she angrily asked:

“Who are you? Get your company’s chairperson here. I don’t want to talk to you! I’m the chairperson of a company with 150 employees, you know!”

2. Her sense of time is unbelievably poor. Everyone else has to accommodate her; she never accommodates anyone else.

She once made an interviewee wait nearly an hour. When the interviewee could not take it anymore and left, she entered the room, discovered no one was there, first questioned other employees about why they had not stopped the person, and then told HR to find people who were “a little more patient” for interviews in the future.

3. Employees who work overtime (unpaid) are considered good employees. She never has any idea what employees are busy with; if they are not working for her, it does not count as work.

She is in a good mood when she sees employees working overtime. She will happily greet them and tell them to keep busy and continue working overtime.

If employees are not helping her handle her side businesses, she assumes that the employees she dislikes are just wasting time, and fires them within a few days.

4. She commits all kinds of illegal acts. Afraid of being sued, she pressures employees into signing agreements to rationalize those illegal acts.

(1) Forcing employees to take unpaid leave.

(2) After discovering that there were corporate subsidies available, secretly transferring the employees’ affiliated company to another company under her or her family members’ names, so that the government would legally determine that the employees had not taken unpaid leave and they could therefore apply for corporate subsidies.

(3) To apply for subsidies, canceling the unpaid leave, but requiring employees to “pay back to the company” the unpaid leave they had already taken later. She even openly told employees in the company group chat who wanted to take leave: “You owed the company two days last month; you have to pay them back to the company.”

(This conduct was confirmed by the Labor Bureau to violate the Labor Standards Act. However, filing a complaint would mean that the complainant’s identity could not be kept confidential, and the consequences afterward are easy to imagine. This is the sad reality behind the saying that employers always prevail over employees...)

5. She commits a pile of illegal acts herself, yet makes things difficult for employees and demands that they obey the law.

Because of the pandemic, she laid off no fewer than 20 people. I personally reasonably suspect that she wanted to remove everyone who knew the company’s secrets, leaving only employees who would obediently follow her orders, because she did not lay off only ordinary employees; she also laid off important managers and senior employees.

The following is an outrageous conversation that overturned my entire sense of right and wrong. It is absolutely genuine and has not been embellished!

“You have the nerve to ask me for overtime pay. Don’t be so outrageous.”

“Did I ever tell you to work overtime?”

“At worst, I’ll throw money at you. You know who we are, right? I’ll tell people outside what kind of person you are and make sure you can’t find a job!”

6. She is deeply calculating and extremely precise when it comes to her own interests.

When she wants to lay someone off, she first asks the person:

“I heard you really want to leave?”

“I think so—I seem to have heard someone say that you’ve wanted to leave for a long time.”

“I really don’t want people to leave either. Why don’t you think it over again?”

(As soon as she hears that the person has decided not to stay, she immediately says “Okay” and leaves.)

Does anyone understand where the scheming lies in this conversation?

Answer: Her aim is to make the employee say that they want to leave. That way, she can reasonably classify the employee as having “voluntarily resigned” rather than being “laid off,” and would not have to pay severance.

That is all—the most memorable and outrageous incidents from recent times.

I have already heard many newcomers say that they had seen warnings about this company online, but still chose to interview and work there for the money.

All I can say is that this is a personal choice. If you are willing to work overtime every day without overtime pay, have your wages shortchanged from time to time, face difficulties when requesting leave, and be required to inexplicably do work outside your original responsibilities,

then you are welcome to come in and experience the hardship and learn through suffering, overturning your entire sense of right and wrong!

Still, I personally hope there will be no more victims helping this unscrupulous company make money. Ideally, it would lay off all its employees, leaving only the senior employees she likes—even if they are not necessarily welcomed by the other employees.

Additional note:

Because the owners of this company all believe that the work is simple and does not require many people, staffing is extremely limited. Employees can only serve multiple roles: they have to do work unrelated to their jobs. Office staff have to figure out how to create graphics themselves; planners also have to handle accounting or reception duties; HR also has to manage the warehouse.

As for senior employees, there is no need to say much. They only have to do their original duties or some new ones, get scolded occasionally while flattering the boss, and maintain good relationships with the boss’s favorites.

Please note that senior employees of the company may appear below the post to confuse people and may also leave fake positive reviews pretending that the company is excellent.

After all, it is a large-scale exhibition company

A litany of heartbreaking trials and tribulations, far too numerous to recount. In short:

😭 QQ

1. Capsule coffee and milk

2. The NT$500 daily allowance for working shifts at exhibitions is a nice supplement

3. Willing to give people with no experience a chance (but because of this, a bunch of weird people also joined)

The company's biggest problem is the chairperson herself: capricious, autocratic, and dictatorial. She has even given up on treating her own internal employees and younger brother (the general manager).

Her track record is as follows:

1. She really likes calling people into meetings and then essentially talking at length about her own philosophies, wasting other people's time. She even criticizes other employees during meetings (showing an appalling lack of perspective as a boss), and then tells you that you are the person she wants to cultivate. At present, approximately 99% of the people she has said she wanted to cultivate have already been eliminated from the company.

2. She asks you to use your own compensatory leave to take time off and attend the company's year-end party because the company has no intention of paying you for that day's work. If you have no compensatory leave, it is unpaid leave for the day, deducted from your salary. (Employees with less than one year of service are not eligible for a year-end bonus or the lucky draw, but can receive a piece of honey cake that is about to expire.)

3. She orders the design staff around like movers, causing the entire design department to resign collectively (if you are applying for a design position, think carefully). The requirements for newly hired designers are that they must be fast, good, able to edit videos, and able to drive... Then, three days later, she complains that they are too slow and says, "Thanks, but no thanks."

4. Before the end of the workday, she asks everyone to move their seats. She does not care whether it delays you past your quitting time; just move to the seat she specifies. The reason? Simply because she wants it that way.

5. When the company wanted to downsize and lay off employees, it laid off a 23K intern even if that meant "breaching the contract" (those planning to intern here should also think carefully).

6. Due to the pandemic, the entire company was put on unpaid leave to weather the difficulties together. Employees were forced to take leave directly without their consent. Internal managers tried to negotiate a schedule in which employees could choose their days off, but she insisted that everyone take Tuesdays and Thursdays off, leaving you without even the right to choose which days to take as unpaid leave. Forget about arranging consecutive days off.

5. She lays off employees who are in the middle of carrying out projects because their short tenure makes them cheaper to sever. She does not care which unlucky person takes over next (there is no such thing as a formal handover at this company, because when the chairperson wants you gone, today is your last day).

Additional points:

1. Don't expect overtime pay. Even if you clock out at midnight, the time clock will still record you as having left on time at 6 p.m. Want to submit an overtime request? Don't even think about it. The chairperson will not approve it, and your manager will not advocate for you.

2. You have to learn things by asking questions yourself, because no one will guide you step by step. You may never even know why you are supposed to do something in a particular way.

3. A planner's job is just copy and paste: open last year's file, change the date and name, and you're done! There is no need to do too many unnecessary things, because this company does not need you to be too smart—just obedient.

Summary:

From my first month at the company, I discovered all kinds of absurdities that made it impossible for me to identify with the company. I thought I should at least stick it out for 1.2 years to improve my résumé, so I made myself become someone with a slightly less rigid backbone. To live comfortably in this company, you have to dance to its tune, submit to the absurdity, and endorse the dictatorship. But in the end, when the company no longer needs you, no matter how hard you worked or how well you performed, you are just another disposable pair of chopsticks waiting to be thrown away. Still, this experience opened my eyes. When you are leaving, what others say to you is not "We'll miss you," but "Congratulations." How ironic that is.

I can only say that the colleagues are easy to get along with—but this does not include some senior managers.

During the interview, the boss may offer you a high salary right from the start, but within three months, she may decide that you are useless. If she takes a dislike to you, she may dismiss you that very day; otherwise, she will cut your salary. Once she starts cutting it, she becomes addicted to doing so.

The female boss really likes humiliating people in public. She thinks she is the most capable and often deifies herself, saying strange superstitious maxims. One moment it is “Amen,” and the next it is “Amitabha.” Episodes from the Three Kingdoms are also frequently acted out.

She never treats employees like human beings and never trusts them. She may dismiss you because she thinks your clothes are too unfashionable, or because she thinks you are too alluring. She may also dismiss you because you are always holding your phone and chatting on LINE. In any case, the reasons for dismissal could probably make it into the Guinness World Records. But she likes dismissing people and does not like paying severance. This is really…everyone, please remember to protect yourselves.

The company has more surveillance cameras than a bank—there is practically one above every employee’s head. The boss watches from the office every day to see whether you are at your desk or what you are doing on your computer screen. I heard that the phones may also have monitoring devices installed (that is only what I heard). In any case, it feels every day as though she thinks you are going to steal something from her.

She tries to take advantage of employees in every possible way. The year-end bonus is divided into two payments: one at Lunar New Year and one in July. But if you are dismissed before then, sorry—everything is confiscated. For the Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, benefits are based on your length of service; employees with less than three months’ tenure receive nothing. The payslip contains all kinds of strange line items, so the salary you receive each month is not actually your base salary. The year-end bonus is calculated using the base salary. Basically, if she can scrape off even a little, she will.

This company is mostly about managing people, not getting work done. Every day, you only need to guess what the two bosses are thinking—but you will never guess correctly, because once you tell her what you really think, the next step is goodbye, bye-bye.

(You absolutely must read this!!! If you don't, and then get hired by Sun-Link International, don't blame your seniors for not warning you.)

(Up until I left, I was still seeing applicants coming in. Guys and gals, what were you thinking?

No matter how bad the food is, I still wouldn't go eat at DaX~)

All right, the main text:

After reading so many websites about interviews and sharing work experiences, I used to leave comments about my job-hunting interviews on websites.

Besides keeping a record for myself, it could also give future readers some reference,

but this is honestly the first time I've thought this carefully about what to write.

I really wonder why Tianyan only lets you choose “good,” “average,” or “bad.”

I strongly suggest adding an option with the slogan “Coming here is basically signing up to die,”

or having the website automatically notify the Labor Department when it collects 20 “bad” ratings.

Because in this busy society,

who has the time to write these long essays here after work or after resigning, leaving them for future generations?

Just look at the comments below and you'll know how much this company is “loved,” right?

And here, as long as you've been here for more than three months, you're a !SEN!IOR!EM!PLOYEE!

Because everyone else either couldn't stand the chairman or was laid off.

I once watched a video that said: “Do you know how to destroy trust and harmony in a company the fastest in a single day?”

“Layoffs.”

Without first thinking about the people who were laid off, think about this: what message do the people who kept their jobs receive from the company?

“This is not a meritocratic company. We don't care about your abilities, and we don't care how hard you work. We only care about the numbers.”

After watching that video, I really wanted to share it in the chairman's LINE group,

but I'm not that stupid.

It's not that I'm afraid of being fired.

It's that she simply won't listen.

She's not deaf, but she can only hear her own voice.

What?!

You say I'm supposed to write about the advantages in this section?

Oh, sorry, I forgot,

because these two words don't exist in this company's dictionary.

,

All right, I really do love my coworkers. We forged a bond through the revolution, and I'll miss you all a little.

【If making money from employees' criticisms were possible, Sun-Link International would definitely be a tycoon】

Those of you who haven't commented yet might not be able to see the system's prompt.

It says: “Think about what else this company could improve.”

Uh... are you asking me not to sleep for three days and three nights?

OK, here we go.

.

1. The person with the biggest problem at this company is the chairman, and everything I'm about to say will also be about her.

2. From the very interview, she gives off an imperious, self-centered attitude. That alone isn't even the worst part; at the end she throws out: “Congratulations, you've been hired, but if your performance isn't good, I'll fire you immediately!”

3. Meetings are just like direct-sales conventions. Everyone, repeat after me: “Practice in real situations”~. Now, you tell me, what does “practice in real situations” mean?

You have to have guts like me—unstoppable in attack and unbeatable in battle.

4. After a major exhibition ended, once she decided that someone's expertise was no longer useful, she laid them off the very next day. Before the exhibition, she praised them every day: “You guys are doing so great~! Our company's results are this good because of you.”

You've heard of burning the bridge after crossing it, right?

5. No matter which department you're in, whenever she gets a sudden whim, she'll order you to move merchandise.

You didn't hear wrong: this isn't Sun-Link International Exhibitions, it's Sun-Link Moving Company.

From the company to the warehouse, to Xizhi, to Banqiao; from daytime, to afternoon, to getting home at midnight.

6. The day before Lunar New Year's Eve: “Everyone can rest at home tomorrow~ There's not much left to do before the New Year.”

(Sorry, it's unpaid; otherwise you have to use your own compensatory leave.)

7. Complaining that other people have too much compensatory leave: “Hey, so-and-so~ Arrange your schedule for February. Take two days off a week and hurry up and use your compensatory leave.”

8. She'll also suddenly tell you to change seats. Are we playing musical chairs? Are all our seats empty? Is this a low-season travel mega-sale where you put on a backpack and leave whenever you want?

If your luck is bad, you might change seats as many as three times in one month.

(For those still waiting for a replacement, stop decorating your seats. It's useless; once you're told to change seats, you'll know how superfluous all that stuff is.)

9. She has no idea what she wants: “Hey, everyone, come over and help~ Move this over there. Hmm, maybe over there would be better. What do you think? Tell the vendor to make 20. Uh, maybe 15 is better.”

“Oh my, I don't even know what I'm saying.” (I'm not exaggerating—she actually said this. I laughed so hard XD.)

10. She FIRES or drives away the designers, planners, strategic alliance staff, and tender-project staff who have worked there for a long time and are familiar with the system, then hires new people a few days later, complains that they work slowly and produce too little, says the company needs to downsize, and continues laying people off.

Then why the hell did you hire people in the first place? I'm at a loss.

11. She sells her own things at exhibitions. When a customer wanted to buy something, she actually snatched it back and said: “Sorry, I'm not selling this. I like it. I'm the chairman, so what I say goes.” ................... (Ha

12. She always says: “You should learn from me. Look how well I run this company. I had complete control of this exhibition, which is why we got such good results.”

Did you really clean the earwax out of your ears?

13. I sincerely believe that she considers talent worthless and doesn't know how to cultivate it. Even if you're currently sitting on a fortune, you'll ultimately still head toward ruin.

There are plenty more unforgivable things, but if I keep writing, it'll be morning.

Everyone, show the same chain-message spirit you use when ordering drinks.

Keep protecting more young saplings!

Finally, let's chant a slogan together:

Join Sun-Link, and every day is Lunar New Year!

I love Sun-Link, forever and ever!

There was some waiting time for the interview.... Some of the questions were a bit impolite

It was an interview conversation that made me feel somewhat uncomfortable

The colleagues are pretty nice.

Hard to say

The boss is a big problem!

The colleagues are nice

The boss and manager have serious problems

Boss:

1. Treats all employees like servants, constantly asking them to pour tea and wipe tables for her. When guests come, she tells employees to loudly say, “Hello, Chairman xx!” The boss has a very bad attitude, looks down on everyone, and has an inflated sense of self-importance.

2. Considers herself a saint. During meetings, she makes you read religious-preaching-like passages after her. She also criticizes whatever kinds of books other people read, saying they are completely worthless.

3. As the boss, she has no integrity. She dislikes overweight people and people who do not dress themselves up much, and publicly discusses your body shape and appearance during meetings.

4. Makes one employee do the work of two. Regardless of whether you are doing planning, tender proposals, or design, she will treat you like a mover or delivery driver. She even once required the design department to work from 9 a.m. to noon, leave work, and then return at 6 p.m. to help move goods from her other company until midnight, without any overtime pay or allowance during that time.

5. Expects employees to work overtime but does not want to pay overtime, and also does not want employees to take leave. Basically, working under her offers no benefits whatsoever; even basic rights may be taken away.

6. Every day, the boss moves employees’ desks around according to her mood—moving them out from inside and then back upstairs from downstairs. When she moves employees into her line of sight, she says, “I need to re-educate you,” believing herself to be a supreme sage and teacher.

Manager:

1. Basically, the boss’s alter ego.

2. Whenever the boss makes any unreasonable demands of subordinates, the manager never deals with them—an attitude focused solely on self-interest.

3. Never speaks up for subordinates. Even when subordinates are mistreated by the company, the manager simply chooses to remain silent.

4. When an employee has been with the company long enough and tells the manager they hope to get a raise, the manager only says to go talk to the boss themselves, because the manager does not want to be scolded by the boss and wants to remain the “good child” in the boss’s eyes.

The managers and colleagues within the department are all very nice and lead everyone in facing the challenges of the exhibition together (they regard data as the most important goal).

The biggest drawback is the female boss! She is completely disorganized and has no sense of order. Today you are in the planning department, and tomorrow you become a porter for Company Ya X.

Exposure to diverse industries, with rapid development of connections and relationships with industry professionals.

The company is too busy, leaving little time for employees and the company to get to know each other in depth.

1. Coffee capsules and milk to your heart’s content (if that counts as a benefit..)

2. Colleagues are easy to get along with (although, of course, there are some who aren’t)

3. As long as you stay for three months, you can tell people outside the company that you’re a senior employee (at other companies, you generally have to stay for over a year before you might be considered senior)

4. Fingerprint recognition is great (probably because I’m a worldly bumpkin, so I find this really exciting)

5. Other: I’ve already squeezed out the four points above. Stop forcing me!!!!

1. Coffee capsules and milk to your heart’s content—this is a benefit for the employees on the 11th floor. As for employees working in the office on the 4th floor, they have to pay for them (I heard it’s 10 dollars). I agree with the principle that users should pay, since there are occasional maintenance costs to cover. It’s just that the same company has two different sets of rules—is that really right...

2. Colleagues are easy to get along with because you may not have gotten to know them well before either you or they resign or are laid off, hehe..

3. The turnover rate is extremely high. People who resign on their own usually can’t stand someone’s or a supervisor’s unreasonable behavior. As for those who are laid off... it’s hard to say. Usually, if someone wants to lay you off, you’re laid off; only a small number are let go because of their work ability. So three months counts as being a “senior employee.”

4. Fingerprint recognition really is great, but if you’re going to an exhibition venue, remember to clock in at the company first. Otherwise, if your clock-in at the venue doesn’t register, sometimes you’ll be unfairly docked pay.

5. The supervisors have no sense of responsibility, are disorganized, and don’t know how to assign work. They’re even less capable of handling someone’s unreasonable demands. They just blindly agree, then tell you not to do it that person’s way and to do it their way instead. When that person discovers you didn’t follow her instructions, the supervisor won’t step in and say that they told you to do it that way. While you’re being yelled at, the supervisor just pretends it has nothing to do with them. Afterward, they come out and say things like that person is ridiculous to comfort you! They’re the most useless supervisors I’ve ever seen, and the most skilled at sucking up!

6. Most of the company’s rules are fake, but whenever something happens, they’ll say everything is being handled according to the rules. The company itself is the one that follows the rules the least.

7. Other: I won’t say much more. All I can say is, think carefully before joining. If your ass-kissing skills haven’t reached god-tier, truly, don’t join—no matter how good your work ability is, don’t, because this company really doesn’t care about your work ability...

We had an enjoyable conversation, and they decided to hire me. The process was fast.

The first stage was with the department manager, and the second stage was with the chairman. The questions focused quite practically on my work experience, and I felt that they were very experienced.

The questions were sharp and went straight to the point.

1. Diverse industries provide exposure to the latest trends and news

2. The wide range of partner organizations enables very rapid networking development

3. Once you get up to speed, the company is willing to support you, offering plenty of room for development

1. With a relatively large internal team, there can easily be too many opinions

2. The company holds 60 events annually, so work efficiency needs to be high

3. At the beginning, you need to put in extra effort to research the industry

Unlimited capsule coffee

The fridge also comes with milk

What? You want me to name a second one.........

If I really have to, it would be seeing lots of people check in and then go buy breakfast again (Does that count as flexibility!?)

Coming here really opened my eyes: "There’s no such thing as very bad, only worse."

Why?

The turnover rate is extremely high, and everyone’s tenure is shorter than the next person’s.

Here, three or six months of tenure already counts as a long time.

You didn’t read that wrong—the unit of measurement really is "months"....

There are frequent meetings.

After each meeting, things change again and need to be revised again; one person is expected to do the work of two.

You also have to follow Dong Nian’s "____"—whatever he tells you to recite, you recite along with him!!

At first, I thought the high turnover depended on the people.

But it turned out to be a company problem. Even when things are clearly busy, they suddenly decide to lay people off.

As long as Dong is pleased, that’s all that matters. Dong’s motto is:

"Only small companies need to hire people with high salaries. We’re a large company, so we can hire people with low salaries."

"We need to save on personnel costs and buy gifts."

"Those things are so simple—I can find them in just a few minutes."

These are things said openly in meetings, so basically, the company does not value its "people" at all.

Overtime pay? Don’t even think about it. If you work until the early hours of the morning, that’s your problem.

Year-end party? Take the day off properly before coming to the year-end party.

Taking leave? You have to report what you’re going to do before you can take leave (including special and compensatory leave).

Leaving work? Write a work journal every day before leaving (Make sure it looks like you have plenty to do!! Otherwise, you’ll be laid off tomorrow.)

Year-end bonus? You only qualify after completing a full year (assuming you can last that long or haven’t been laid off...)

Don’t work in this kind of unstable environment.

It’s truly a waste of life.

Oh, right.

This is my first time writing a review.

That’s all.

I just hope there won’t be any more victims. Amitabha, think twice, benefactor.

Colleagues get along harmoniously and are all very willing to support and help one another. Other than that... nothing.

1. The boss has strong subjective opinions and often says, “Although I don’t know how to do this, I understand it!” This causes difficulties and trouble for the people carrying out the work because he does not respect professional expertise and bases most things on imagination.

2. Building on the above, what kind of situation does this create? Regarding each department’s responsibilities, their importance, the time required for the work, and so on, he often says, “Why does it take so much time? What are you doing?” Actually, this can be good or bad—like playing rock-paper-scissors. Either you get criticized for being too idle (even though you are actually very busy), or you are genuinely idle (but he won’t bother you). Everyone, it’s very exciting, so if your usual conduct isn’t great, think twice.

3. Job transfers are as simple as eating three meals a day. I originally sold fried chicken cutlets, then the next day I was selling vegetarian food; I was originally a fitness trainer, then the next day I became a fat otaku. That’s roughly the idea. The record is even more impressive: in a single meeting lasting less than 30 minutes, there can be three different versions. You can only make sure he doesn’t remember you; otherwise, it’s very easy to feel at a loss.

4. The following point is very important: basically, you should discount anything the company promises you by 20%, and sometimes even by 90%. This includes the position’s responsibilities, benefits, salary, and department structure. Managerial positions are generally merely nominal.

5. The company places extremely little importance on team cohesion and treats talent like disposable chopsticks. You will find that interviews are taking place every day, while at the same time, people are leaving or being laid off almost every day. Because the work involves exhibitions, accumulated compensatory leave is common. Company policy says that you can take time off in lieu, but they often force you to take it at times when you absolutely do not want to, and even require you to use compensatory leave or personal leave for the year-end banquet! Oh right, there is also a rule that people who joined within a certain number of months before the event cannot attend. Then why do we still have to request leave and lose pay? What is that supposed to mean... You can’t even work when you want to...

6. While working there, I often wondered why this company simply copies and pastes everything from the previous year. I also once actively tried to change this culture, hoping that one day I would see sweeping changes. Even with so many shortcomings, I still like this company very much :)

Lots of attractive women, and the relationships among colleagues are generally pretty good.

It turns out that the exhibition proposals are copied and pasted every year.

And the boss always says everything is very simple—

just do it casually.

But in reality, there are tons of miscellaneous tasks,

yet no time is given.

When looking for a performing group, they say you can just find 100 of them casually.

For tenders, they say just go online and casually screenshot some pretty images.

For department stores, they say just arrange things casually; putting out more items will make them sell.

There are many different company names:

Three exhibition companies: Shang Lian, Da Tong, and Rui Ri Hua

One interior decoration company: Hui Ju

One general merchandise company: Ya Lian

Anyway, they all have the same boss. Don't foolishly go work there.

Top 10 classic quotes

1. “That’s very simple—just do it casually and use last year’s version.”

2. “That’s very simple. I’ll help you; it’s too easy.”

3. “Wow, this is so beautiful!”

4. “Hey, you—come here.”

5. “Call so-and-so right now. I want to talk to them.”

6. “Do you understand?”

7. “Ugh, how can you not know how to do such a simple thing?”

8. “Mm.” (with a rising intonation)

9. “Come on, repeat after me once.”

10. “What I mean is, this, that…” (repeating endlessly)

By the way, if you are still employed there,

don’t let them think you have nothing to do

(there are tons of cleanup and follow-up tasks),

or they’ll fire you immediately.

If you apply for overtime, you’ll be asked a bunch of questions.

They’ll question you so much that you won’t want to apply anymore.

Suggestion: If you haven’t finished, do it the next day. Leave work on time.

You won’t learn anything here, so don’t expect to.

People are there to be exploited, not developed.

None

I interviewed for the position of Brand Marketing Manager,

which was under a subsidiary.

The interviewer was the chairwoman,

a fairly elderly woman.

Her interviewing skills were really poor.

She had no idea what kind of talent the company needed operationally,

or what questions to ask or what to pay attention to during the interview.

I found it outrageous. She had already risen to the position of chairwoman,

so why were her own skills so poor?

Anyone who wants to join this company should think twice~~

One more thing: the receptionist also had serious issues.

She didn’t know how to receive people and kept scrolling through Facebook ==

None

Very bad attitude

Worked part-time at exhibitions; the colleagues were all very nice, except for Secretary Huang.

The working hours were not fixed; if there was nothing to do, they would ask you to go home.

Secretary Huang had a poor attitude toward people and was extremely impatient.

1. The partner colleagues are all nice.

2. If you communicate thoughtfully and sincerely, your supervisors and managers will listen.

3. There are many industries, providing diverse exposure.

4. The supervisors and managers still express appreciation to employees who resign.

1. With so many people, communication inevitably requires some time and strategy; otherwise, it can be exhausting and a waste of time.

2. You need to use skill and tact when dealing with the boss. Sometimes, don't take the boss's emotional remarks to heart...

The position I applied for was Exhibition Business Specialist, and overall, the interview felt very comfortable and relaxed!

1. The interviewer described the responsibilities of the position in a very conversational manner and made a strong effort to ensure that the applicant clearly and fully understood the salary range and job duties.

2. They provided a very thorough description of what most of the initial work would involve, as well as later-stage business trips and discussions with clients and vendors.

3. No pressure was applied during the conversation, allowing the job seeker to clearly describe their personal traits, strengths, and weaknesses.

4. They did not casually or intrusively ask about my past education and work experience. Instead, they maintained the attitude of a good listener, making the overall process very smooth.

1. The interview was relatively short, so I felt I was unable to fully present my self-introduction.

2. The interview was conducted in a relatively relaxed manner, creating a comfortable, conversational atmosphere. However, it also seemed to lack a certain degree of professionalism or formality in the discussion.

Don't know

The interviewer proactively called me and immediately hung up after saying that my résumé wasn't for commercial exhibitions. It was extremely bizarre, and their tone and communication attitude were poor. I will not consider this company in the future.

The colleagues are easy to get along with.

Only after joining the company did I learn the reason for the high employee turnover. It is not just that employees resign voluntarily; many employees are laid off by the company under the pretext of downsizing, with employees being terminated on short notice the same day.

1. Performance bonuses usually take a very, very, very long time to receive! (And they’ll also deduct this and that from them.)

For example:

If the trade show you worked to attract exhibitors for is in May, you won’t receive the bonus until three months after the trade show ends! (That is, in August.)

2. Extremely high employee turnover

Shanglian International Exhibition Co., Ltd. ~ Sales Staff

1. Performance bonuses usually take a very. very. long. time. to receive! (And they’ll also make all sorts of deductions.)

For example:

If the exhibition you secured exhibitors for is held in May, you won’t receive the bonus until three months after the exhibition ends! (That is, in August.)

2. Extremely high employee turnover

Actually, compared with other bosses who only want to raise funds and swindle investors out of their money, the female owner here is relatively honest and at least won’t let the company idle. However, she is quite ruthless and a smiling tiger. In addition, she is very chaotic and directionless; when hiring, she doesn’t know what kind of person she wants, and after hiring someone, her mind may change and she may suddenly fire you. (By the way, you might only discover on the day you’re fired that your insured salary bracket for labor insurance was underreported. Of course, you can report them to the Labor Department about this.) This company is also a family-run business where bad leadership at the top leads to bad behavior below, and the longtime employees who can stay here for a long time are also very good at office politics. Think carefully before joining—I had been here for less than two months when at least six people left one department.

Dong X Eyewear Company deducts pay for damaged lenses. Mistakes result in disciplinary writing assignments starting at a minimum of 100. The pay is even more inhumane. You cannot leave the premises from 8 to 23. Employees’ phones are monitored. After all the various deductions, the pay is less than NT$30,000.

Most of the jobs are short-term exhibition positions, with regular working hours, the minimum hourly wage, and half pay for pre-employment training. However, in the past, there have been instances where the employer felt that too many people had been hired for an exhibition and laid off staff at short notice.
