Read the community guidelinesYou only have to endure three hours a day.
1. Different from the job description posted during recruitment—it's bait-and-switch.
2. During the probationary period, you must secure one appointment within 16 days; after officially starting, you must secure one appointment every 24 days. Otherwise, the boss will question you and may even dismiss you at will.
3. The boss plays video games at home and makes his wife come out to work, monitors your every move with cameras, and uses a loudspeaker to call out to you like a dog.
4. You are fined for being one minute late, fined for leaving your seat without reporting it in the group chat, and dismissed if reminded that parents dislike hearing certain things. Should I just give you money instead?
5. Saying that the personal information came from online or street surveys is a lie; it was all purchased in violation of the Personal Data Protection Act.
6. If you find out that it is connected to San Bei De or Sheng Xue Wang, run. Low pay and lots of work.
After entering families’ homes to discuss their cases, you can sincerely identify the problems the children are facing and let the parents know.
Emotional blackmail (look it up yourself) is used to achieve the purpose of making employees work overtime, enforce unreasonable policies, and make sales.
Most of the original staff have already been unable to endure it and left.
Those joining now are merely newcomers hired after benefits have been cut.
Violations of the Labor Standards Act (working overtime beyond legal hours without overtime pay) and the Personal Data Protection Act (obtaining class rosters or other information by deceiving students, or pretending to conduct cold outreach).
What makes me happy is seeing the students I support improve their grades and solve problems through their own efforts. The company’s industry and vision are worth looking forward to.
We have to compete with outsourced business units, and our reputation is often damaged by the false promises and harassment of those units. At company meetings, management also likes to boast about the performance of the outsourced business units. The trial-reading platform and app start with a bang but end with a whimper, seeming only interested in obtaining personal information and offering no help at all. The company’s industry is promising and its vision is ambitious, but its methods, policies, and marketing model are extremely crude, disgraceful, and completely lacking in quality.
Because it’s a large company.
Some managers really are good people.
They genuinely guide and support you.
Heh, I was bored and came to take a look at this company’s reviews..
And it turns out... seven or eight years have passed... and it’s still the same. Terrible!
I’ll say a few things too.
This company:
1. Is the company’s original purpose to help children study? No! Put simply, it’s just selling products! Using all kinds of tactics. The people who truly help children study are some ethical sales representatives. Not the company.
2. Personal information is purchased. Nothing unexpected; it’s just the sales representatives who suffer. The company only has to pay a fine.
3. The company’s various salary systems keep changing. Simply put, when profits are poor, they target the sales representatives. When profits are good, they may not share the benefits with you. Instead, the company creates an atmosphere of hero worship and a sense of honor, making your vanity explode.
4. The chairman of 3Bebed has many blood relatives working at this company! They’re all one big family! Naturally, the money goes to their own family members! Your effort and youth are merely directly proportional to the salaries they pay you.
5. The company went public and listed on the OTC market—basically, it’s just stock speculation! The chairman’s relatives would tell you to hurry up and buy/sell, pushing up the stock price/arrivals. (Luckily, I didn’t buy any.)
6. You can come work here; that’s fine. Every company has its complicated sides, and this place is actually like an ordinary company. The reason there are so many negative reviews is that when they went public and listed on the OTC market, they kicked out in one mass purge all the people who had contributed the most during that period. They lowered the share-allocation price, the year-end bonuses suddenly disappeared, and things like the various family-formation funds all turned into empty promises.
7. During summer and winter vacations, it’s from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Because students aren’t in class from when they wake up until night, you have to work that way too.
8. I will always remember a relative of the chairman saying something so contemptuous: “If you don’t work for 3Bebed, what company outside Taiwan is even decent?” (Did he simply look down on other industries? I don’t know why.) Oh, right! This relative is also quite low-class, and their private behavior is pretty disgusting too.
9. The CEO is quite skilled at using sales rhetoric too.
10. When purchasing courses, parents and students are told to apply for loans to pay the fees. One manager, in order to successfully close a deal, even blocked the “promissory note” and made the parent sign one. Wow!
11. The period when there was a base salary was pretty good. If you didn’t perform well, they would verbally bully you. Sigh..
So... 3Bebed, for the sake of going public and listing on the OTC market, can you please have a little conscience? And they claim to be a key player in “education”...
Can you really hold yourselves up?
Though I guess you did manage to hold yourselves up! Being publicly listed is apparently awesome.
Hmm
Going there to gain some experience is fine too.
But their culture is “having no culture.”
And you call yourselves part of the education system.
Maybe they have no culture, so they simply sell products.
Oh yeah~
A former “legal adviser” once asked me, “Do you really think this company is good?” When talking with me, they even first checked whether my belongings contained a recorder or a surveillance device.
The reason we talked was also due to a certain coincidence.
Alright! I’ve said so much..
In the end...
Companies like this exist; there are many of them in society.
But this company is one you should simply pass through and leave behind.
None
Do not come here and waste your life; the policies at practically any other company are better than this one.
None
The benefits always go to the upper management, while those below cannot get a share; and employees have to bear all unreasonable treatment on their own.
Previously, a customer deliberately waited until after the seven-day inspection period had passed before requesting a return, and even argued that they would sue the company if the return was refused.
After discussions with management, the decision was to let the customer return it in order to avoid damaging the company's reputation.
Then, the sales staff had to return to the company all the performance credit from that order, which they had previously earned.
The company suffered no loss at all—instead, the sales employee was already subjected to relentless harassment because of that unreasonable customer, and the company did not provide the employee with any compensation whatsoever.
Wow, a company that only cares about its own reputation and completely disregards whether its employees live or die—great job.
If I could do it over again, I would not let that customer return it; I would just let Sanbei De keep one more stain on its record.
Its reputation was already bad enough anyway, so what difference would one more negative review make?
The supervisor is fairly conscientious.
A company with no future in sight
Every day, anxiously wondering: “When will we finally make money?”
I’ll probably starve to death before we ever make money!
You can see the various dark sides of society early on.
Basically, this is an extremely discouraging sweatshop company—a terrible company that only cares whether it is making money and completely ignores the lives and deaths of its lowest-level employees.
The company often makes grand promises but never lets you actually enjoy the benefits. It likes to shout a bunch of useless slogans about its ideals, which, as far as I’m concerned now, are nothing but a joke.
The company didn’t have many employees to begin with, and several people resigned during the time I worked there. Most didn’t even last three months. I also often saw people who came for interviews get stood up by the company. Yet the supervisors would only blame those people for being too fragile.
Basically, the company survives by relying on the personal charisma and departmental benefits provided by individual unit supervisors. The company’s senior management makes huge profits, while the company already offers almost no benefits and still frequently removes the few meager benefits that remain without notice.
The company often inexplicably makes low-level employees shoulder a pile of fabricated, ridiculous tasks. In any case, the people at the top are the ones making the money, and they don’t care at all whether the people below live or die.
After joining, you will have no quality of life whatsoever—less than five days off a month. You often have to travel to companies in other counties or cities, but the company won’t reimburse gas or tolls. Since there is no base salary, new hires often end up barely scraping by. Then the supervisors will always tell you that everything is your own problem and that young people these days are too fragile. Some supervisors also like to emotionally blackmail employees.
But they never stop to consider that the company’s training system is extremely inadequate and its sales model is excessively traditional and inflexible.
The products themselves aren’t really a problem; the problem is that the sales model belongs to a sunset industry.
The work model is very simple, but it is so overly simplistic that you can’t make any money.
You often end up working for nothing. In this age of widespread internet access, the company is still using sales methods from 20 or 30 years ago. Once management teaches you one method, they simply leave you to fend for yourself. Everything else requires you to painstakingly figure it out on your own...
According to a veteran who had worked there for more than five years before resigning, business performance is already far worse than it used to be and continues to decline. Yet the company doesn’t seem interested in improving this situation. After all, the chairman clearly doesn’t need this money; he must already be making a fortune from stocks and image rights alone.
A quick search for “Sanbei De” turns up nothing but overwhelmingly negative reviews. The supervisors even tell you not to look at them and to think in a more positive direction.
But the ugly facts are right there in front of everyone—who are they trying to fool? It’s honestly laughable.
This is truly extremely discouraging; you can’t see any future here at all.
In summary, if your family doesn’t need money, you don’t lack time, and your EQ is extremely high, then go for it!!
The HR representative and manager conducting the interview were both polite and courteous. They provided fairly detailed explanations of the company's benefits and job responsibilities, and the office equipment also appeared to be well-equipped and modern.
If your abilities meet the company's expectations for the position, the salary is actually fairly negotiable. Overall, it was a reasonably comfortable interview experience that left me feeling good.
During the interview, I had to handwrite my résumé information and autobiographical statement again (even though I had brought a printed résumé of my own, I still had to write everything out......). I hope this can be improved.

I just left Sanbeide not long ago.
Sanbeide is truly a company that takes advantage of its employees.
It also constantly exploits loopholes in the law.
When I joined, I signed a business commission contract, and they said the company did not follow the Labor Standards Act.
Yet they required us to come to the office at set times, and I never once left work on time.
They said we did not need to clock in, but in reality they simply did not want to leave evidence.
We also had to go to the office on holidays; not going was considered a sign that you were not working hard enough.
We only got four days off per month.
The base salary was only NT$10,000, and NT$1,000 was deducted for being late.
Let me ask: If you sign a commission contract saying the Labor Standards Act does not apply, but the company imposes the same requirements as it would on employees, isn't that illegal? They exploit every loophole in the law.
After that, the compensation was entirely commission-based.
Some months you earned less than NT$10,000—or did not receive a single cent—and the supervisor did not care at all.
They would only say that you were not working hard enough and that it was your own problem.
At first, I foolishly thought it was my own fault.
Later, when I quit, I realized that the problem was entirely with them.
That was because the company took practically all of the performance bonuses.
A NT$66,000 bonus was divided between two salespeople, with each salesperson receiving an average of NT$10,000.
The rest all went into the company's revenue! How is that fair?
Once, I needed to ask the company for an advance on my salary.
The supervisor completely ignored me and said, “No, I’m playing mahjong. That’s all for now.”
What?
The worst part is that I worked there for 10 months
and earned less than NT$100,000; the company took all the bonuses.
It was worse than working part-time at a convenience store.
Only after I resigned did I find out
that I had not been enrolled in labor or health insurance for any of those 10 months.
How has Apple Daily not exposed such a terrible company?
It is basically a bloodsucking company.
Oh, and there’s more.
They paint an extremely grand picture,
but in reality it is completely impossible to achieve.
They said you would not have to work as hard as people doing manual labor elsewhere.
In reality, it was even harder than working manual labor elsewhere, and you still could not make any money!
At exhibitions, we often stood all day without making a single sale.
We had to persuade people to come in and buy teaching materials costing over NT$100,000 a set.
To be honest, I found it extremely embarrassing.
That is why I stopped going after doing only one or two exhibitions.
There was another outrageous issue as well.
After a customer signed a contract, we still had to wait and see whether Chunghsin could approve the application.
If it was not approved, it was as if the contract had never been signed.
Even if it was approved, if the customer did not make the payment,
the entire performance bonus was clawed back by the company.
I personally experienced this once.
It was completely ridiculous.
All I can say is that this company is basically harming people.
1. Although the promises were very grand at the beginning, the company did indeed go public and become listed.
2. It is genuinely moving to see the students improve.
3. Department heads often arrange rewards, so you can earn a little extra.
1. Ever since the company went public and became listed, all the benefits that were previously promised have disappeared—and they took effect immediately. They make it sound much better than it really is. 2. There was originally also a stock reward plan, but when the money was paid out, it turned out to be an advance bonus (meaning you have to pay it back to the company). The company's future depends on whether the boss has integrity, but everyone can judge for themselves! Don't be deceived again.
3. The company changes the system whenever it says so, and then makes the department supervisors absorb the operating and management expenses themselves (rent, utilities, etc.).
4. I couldn't take it anymore. I lost. I left.
5. It was my honor to be able to advance and retreat together with the supervisors here.
6. By the way, regarding employee trips, you can just look at what is posted on the website. They will tell you the trip is canceled without giving a reason, but they will give you the equivalent amount of money instead!
You can get more sleep before going to work
Unilaterally removed the base salary that had originally been agreed upon, then pressured sales staff to resign and switch to a direct-selling system
Sales staff have to shoulder the company's monthly management and operating expenses
No matter how hard you work each month, the average salary does not exceed 10K
Working hours are 14:00–22:00, but employees are usually required to arrive early and leave late
During winter and summer vacations, when students are off, employees are even more strongly required to come to work in the morning
Every day, employees have to visit schools to distribute flyers and visit students' homes to discuss cases, with no reimbursement for fuel expenses
Employees have to pay for labor and health insurance; after resignation, the company does not help cancel the insurance either, leaving employees inexplicably owing two or three thousand
All personal data is purchased, yet employees are required to tell students or parents that it came from their own contact lists. After making hundreds or thousands of calls, they feel increasingly guilty
A share of sales performance has to be given to the company, and an additional percentage is withheld as a company fund that cannot be retrieved for three years
The company uses all kinds of sales scripts; claims about stocks and being a reputable company are all false
The company takes all the money earned; sales staff do not earn anything and only lose money
Seriously violates the Labor Standards Act, Personal Data Protection Act, and other laws...
Most managers and colleagues are fairly easy to get along with. You can somewhat benefit from the status of being associated with a “TWSE-listed company” (whether the name matches the reality is another matter). There are opportunities to help all kinds of parents and children, as well as opportunities to meet well-known cram-school teachers. For people with strong sales expertise, a passion for education, and the confidence to quickly advance into management, joining the team may be a good choice.
The marketing activities are still far from being “up to standard,” and the products lack sufficient backend support and complementary services. Most sales results rely on senior sales staff working things out through trial and error. Because the company performed extremely well in the past (about one or two years ago), decision-makers gradually shifted their focus toward expanding into new business areas. As a result, employee feedback and the high turnover rate were later disregarded—after all, the company no longer needed them as much, so getting by was considered good enough. Those who are willing to stay, apart from senior employees, are supported by their managers’ personal charisma, the passing down of experience, occasional extra incentives, and their own sense of responsibility. With a lack of properly planned training, performance consequently remains mediocre or very poor. In view of this, newcomers who do not have the determination to go all in should carefully consider whether to join the team.

A supervisor forced subordinates to bet on their performance and gamble money.
They even came to ask for money after I had already resigned.
They asked my girlfriend and my family for it.
They said that repaying a debt is only natural and right.
When asked to provide evidence of the wager, they actually said that was just arguing back.
Do they not know that a wager violates public order and good morals and is therefore invalid?
They even wanted to have people from the company testify.
Ha, is that openly breaking the law?
Do they have no shame bringing their own family to testify?
And there was not even mutual agreement.
(A former employee can prove that they initially refused.)
Isn't the money I gave this company after resigning already more than enough?
Do they think earning 110,000 just by sitting around is easy?
Taking other people's hard-earned money will send you to hell; those who commit many injustices will bring about their own ruin.
Selfish and self-serving, pretending to be positive and warm-hearted—I saw through them long ago.
When performance was good, they treated people like gods; when performance was poor, they showed absolutely no mercy.
As a supervisor, how do they still have the nerve to come asking for this kind of money?
They even said it could be paid in installments.
Even if I were giving money away, I would never give another penny to anyone at this company!!
I was so furious that I had to post this here.
If you're still at this company, please hurry up and get out.
The above concerns the terrible things that happened in this unit/department and are provided for reference only.
3. Sanbei Digital Cultural and Creative (Yicheng Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd.
A large group primarily focused on the education business, especially developing the tutoring system using a business-oriented corporate model. Its latest product is the Teaching King app.
After entering, I was asked to fill out a résumé first. The interview, scheduled for around 4:00, was delayed until 4:50. The assistant first played a company promotional video and then presented a handbook describing how extensive and excellent the benefits were, accompanied by pictures.
After another 20 minutes, the manager finally came over for the interview. The main content was about how great and outstanding their products were, and it gave off a strong direct-selling atmosphere. After an hour, they finally began discussing the job, mainly packaging what was essentially business sales as a “management trainee” position.
Later, the interviewer told another interviewee from a private university of science and technology that their educational background did not meet the manager’s requirements and that they could leave.
By this point, I could no longer tolerate being interrupted whenever I tried to speak, along with the lengthy direct-selling rhetoric, so I made an excuse and left.
This company is very wealthy. If you are interested in pursuing direct-selling education or similar work, feel free to join—especially if you aspire to a life filled with money and sales performance.
1. If you are a passionate recent graduate, this place will extinguish your hope for life.
2. If you are changing careers, this place will leave you with nothing but work.
3. If you were recruited to be a manager, you will almost certainly be brought in to clean up a mess.
4. The company says every year that it has not made money, but the office keeps getting bigger, and the advertising keeps getting more extensive. The only thing that never changes is the salary.
5. They are very good at painting a rosy picture, but in reality, that is just an ideal; in practice, everything is always rushed.
6. Tasks that have often been scheduled are inexplicably moved up or doubled in volume, or you are suddenly called in to work overtime and pursue sales targets.
7. In theory, work and assignments that should take a month are often required to be completed within three days or one week.
8. The company considers not working overtime a sign of not trying hard enough.
9. Every time I sell a product, I feel very guilty about it.
10. At the year-end banquet raffle, prizes are assigned colors according to seniority, and the prizes are also categorized. Some prizes can only be won by employees with longer tenure. The boss adds extra prizes, but after drawing several raffle tickets at once, keeps only those matching the color for employees with longer tenure and throws the rest back into the raffle box.
1. Tuesdays are fixed days off every week, but they often hint that you should come in and work hard for your own performance—in other words, work overtime. To avoid violating the law, employees are not allowed to clock in.
2. Working hours are stated as 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., but on Saturdays and Sundays employees are told to come in at 10:00 a.m. (not for the company, but to work hard for their own performance)... in other words, overtime. Employees are not allowed to clock in, and even if they do, the overtime pay still will not be counted. Those who do not come in will be placed on the employee watchlist.
3. There are no typhoon days off and no national holidays. Supervisors will tell you that parents are at home waiting to schedule appointments with you on typhoon days and national holidays. Employees are still required to work regardless of how strong the wind or rain is, and of course there is no double pay.
4. The company does not value its employees. The owner started out in sales and only cares about getting the company listed. They constantly tell you that we will prosper and share together, and that we treat employees like family, but they do not respect employees at all. There is no year-end bonus (they call their year-end bonus a “home-building fund,” paid according to whether you achieve a certain level of performance each month), and administrative staff receive nothing.
5. Stock and the home-building fund are both locked in for three years. Basically, they want you to work yourself to the bone for three years and not leave. The bonuses are pitifully small, while the products are extremely expensive. Advertising costs are made up for by reducing sales commissions, supposedly as “resources provided by the company.” If you leave within three years, the company will also reclaim the stock and home-building fund (year-end bonus).
6. You are often required to visit schools in the morning and may have to stand at the school gates as early as 6 or 7 a.m. There is no such thing as compensatory time off; you still have to obediently return to the company to clock in and work. They will even ask you to come in on Tuesdays, your day off, because you are doing it not for the company but for your own performance.
7. During winter and summer vacations, because students are on break, employees are required to start work in the morning. You work 12 hours a day, while your salary remains the same as in other months.
8. During recruitment, they tell you that you will have six days off per month: Tuesdays are fixed, and you can arrange the other two days yourself. In reality, you never get even two days off per month.
9. Company supervisors act according to their moods and often use vulgar and inappropriate language to humiliate and berate employees, while constantly telling everyone that we are one family.
1. Tuesdays are fixed days off every week, but they often subtly imply that you should come in and work hard for your own sales performance—which means working overtime. To avoid violating the law, they will claim that the time clock is malfunctioning and forbid you from clocking in. Even employees themselves feel strange about not working on Tuesdays.
2. They do not care about their employees. The boss started out in sales and only cares about getting the company listed. Everyone is expected to stick together and endure hardships, but there is never a year-end bonus, and there is not even any administrative staff.
3. The stock and the home-purchase fund are both locked in for three years. Basically, they want you to work yourself to the bone for three years and not leave. The bonuses are pitifully small, while the products are extremely expensive. The cost of advertising is even made up for by reducing the sales staff’s commissions, while claiming that it is a company-provided resource.
4. Sales performance resets to zero every month, so every month is an endless cycle in hell.
5. You often have to visit schools in the morning, and may have to stand at the school gate as early as 6 or 7 a.m. There is no such thing as taking compensatory time off—you still have to obediently return to the company to clock in and work. They will even ask you to come in on Tuesdays, your day off, because you are doing it for your own sales performance, not for the company, okay?
6. There are serious personal-data privacy issues. Making calls can make you feel guilty, as if you are committing fraud.
