1. The owner loves berating people and calls them “idiots,” “morons,” and “stupid.” Employees are often summoned to the office to be berated.
2. A “senior” employee named Han-jie, who is responsible for marketing, unusually enjoys sowing discord and reporting minor matters to the director.
3. The staff turnover rate is extremely high (3 people in April / 5 in May / 3 in June).
4. The director’s management style is strange. They interfere in employees’ private lives, and regardless of whether you are full-time or part-time, employees are forbidden from contacting one another privately (adding each other on LINE/IG/FB...).
5. People are often yelled at for no reason.
6. The director looks through employees’ private LINE chat records without their permission.
Most colleagues are very kind and supportive.
1. Full-time employees not only receive no overtime pay for working overtime, but do not even get compensatory leave, and are also expected to start meetings early all the time.
2. There is at least one hour of overtime every day, and sometimes even more than 2–3 hours. If you are not willing to work for free, do not come.
3. Part-time workers have it even worse: there is no labor or health insurance. Unless you are extremely short of money, do not come either.
4. Supervisors really like to call people idiots and brainless. The pressure is extremely high, from the top management down to the branches.
5. Meetings are all about taking turns criticizing internal employees. You receive no overtime pay and still get criticized; it is a work environment that only people with a strong tolerance for being exploited can endure.
6. There is very little time to eat, and the working environment is very poor.
7. Conclusion: Unless you have no other options, absolutely do not come.
The work itself is easy, but the pressure is immense. Recommended for those of you with a strong submissive streak.
1. The supervisor has low emotional intelligence and loves to berate employees, calling them “retards,” “stupid,” and “idiots,” treating employees like dogs while yelling at them.
2. In the marketing team, there is a senior employee, Han-jie, who likes to sow discord and report things to the supervisor behind others’ backs.
3. The supervisor has not explicitly prohibited employees from contacting one another privately or exchanging social media accounts, but in reality, privately contacting one another is strictly prohibited.
4. The employee turnover rate is high (3 people left in April / 5 in May / 6 in June).
5. The supervisor checks employees’ LINE conversation records without their permission.

The first week after I started was very smooth, to put it mildly. I did what the supervisor assigned me and helped my coworkers. Starting in the second week, though, I was berated like a dog~~even though I was doing exactly the same things as I had in the first week! Then I submitted my resignation, but the supervisor desperately tried to convince me to stay! They said I was doing a great job! They said I was just overthinking the things I’d been yelled at for 🧐🧐🧐
Anyway, I was determined to leave! But I still agreed to work two more weeks as a buffer. As a result, I ended up stumbling across the dark secrets of the entire cram school⋯⋯⋯
To find out what happens next, stay tuned to Dcard.
Most colleagues are quite friendly.
1. Full-time employees not only receive no overtime pay, but also get no compensatory time off, and are expected to start meetings early all the time.
2. We work at least one hour of overtime every day, and sometimes even more than 2–3 hours. If you’re not willing to work for free, definitely don’t come.
3. Part-time workers have it even worse: they receive no labor or health insurance and are paid in cash directly. Unless you’re extremely short of money, don’t come either.
4. Labor inspectors have already come several times, but has anything improved? Who knows~
5. Meetings are all about taking turns criticizing internal employees. You don’t get overtime pay and still get criticized—it’s a work environment you can only endure if you have an exceptionally strong tolerance for being exploited.
6. Breaks for meals are also very short, and the working environment is terrible.
7. Conclusion: Unless you’re completely out of options, definitely don’t come.

During the telephone interview, they said that there would be no performance pressure to bear.
After working for a few months, they said the telephone interview results were unsatisfactory and dismissed me directly.
In any case, there is not much worth staying for in this kind of work that infringes on personal data privacy.
Unless you are extremely short of money, do not stay there.
For a three-hour shift, the pay is not calculated by the minute, but only by the number of shifts. They said that school visits would be covered by accident insurance, but that was probably just talk as well.
The salary is paid in cash, with no insurance coverage at all—extremely poor protection ==

In any case, this kind of job that invades personal privacy is not worth holding on to. Unless you are extremely short of money, do not stay there.

The salary is paid in cash, with no insurance or benefits at all—there is absolutely no security. ==

I arrived on-site and was told at the front desk to take the personnel documents and fill them out, but then they said I had not been selected.
At first, they gave me a brochure and asked me to read it. After I finished, I found it boring, so I asked the person next to me, who was also a telephone interviewer, how long they had been doing the job and how to speak with the other party. A man who was said to be the team leader told me that if I had questions, I should ask him and not the people next to me. Later, when he explained the work process, he seemed unhappy when I asked questions. I got the feeling that they wanted employees who would obediently follow instructions without asking questions. After he finished, I asked when working hours began to count and also asked about scheduling. The team leader then asked someone to tell me that I was not suitable and sent me home.
As for their sales script, if I were a parent or student, I would have no patience to keep listening. When they call, they first ask about grades, target schools, whether the person attends cram school, which one, and which subjects, among other things. It feels uncomfortable.
I have never worked there, so I’m not sure.
I applied for a short-term telephone interviewer position. After explaining the work process, they asked about my availability and salary expectations, then said I was not suitable for the job. I feel that this wasted the job seeker’s time. I don’t know whether they are, as mentioned in the comments above, fond of employees who work for the sake of doing good deeds.
I applied for a counseling position, so the following all pertains to the counseling teacher role:
1. There is little work to do, so you can usually do your own things.
1. Because there is little work, you are often asked to do odd jobs. These tasks have nothing to do with counseling and are not included in the job description (for example, buying breakfast). When asking you to do these things, the supervisor will not even be pleasant about it, so please pay particular attention.
2. The supervisor shifts responsibility. There was an instance in which the teacher responsible for scheduling asked a counseling teacher to check the availability of other counseling teachers, but then blamed the counselor for not asking clearly enough. This was despite the fact that the scheduling teacher was the one who had delegated the task. In the end, that counselor resigned as well. Job seekers who are not highly submissive should think carefully before coming.
