Read the community guidelinesThe colleagues are actually all full of complaints. Everyone sticks together, and the only people who stay are those without professional skills—I’m being very blunt about it.
At the time, what I encountered was a supervisor born in 1971, a very fake Gemini midget,
who would make you mistakenly think that he respected you.
But once you went in, he would still manage you like an ordinary production worker. Damn it!
Even if the progress was on schedule, as long as he felt that you had shown him any disrespect, he would demand that you work overtime on holidays!
He would make underhanded moves against you behind your back.
His boss held meetings during working hours—everyone would start meetings at the end of the workday.
That midget would say two-faced things.
Basically, he would deceive those above him and bully those below him. Moreover, that midget would sexually harass female employees.
A deadbeat midget who smoked, chewed betel nut, and played on his phone. Supposedly, he came from running a street stall, so he just deceives people!
There are many awful companies in Taichung. I give this one a full five stars for awfulness.
A box of pineapple cakes at year-end.
I had worked with them for several years, from the past until now, and was a supervisor here for three years. They claim that sales are booming, but at year-end all I received was a box of pineapple cakes... They are Elephant Man apparel, which often holds special sales at major department stores and hypermarkets, as well as online e-commerce. They are quite good at pressuring people into working overtime for free. There are no bonuses or performance incentives or anything like that. Internal rules and various deduction policies are often changed according to their mood. Please think twice before taking a job here!

There’s a 7-Eleven next door
An employee was once removed from labor and health insurance a month before leaving without being informed
There’s a 7-Eleven next door.
1. The company’s systems are chaotic. During my time there, one to three people resigned every month, without a corresponding number of new employees being hired. The work of those who left was randomly redistributed to colleagues in other departments, causing even more people to want to quit.
2. The original workload was already impossible to finish, yet the miscellaneous tasks of employees who had left other departments were piled on top of it. There wasn’t a single day when I could leave work on time. Then the supervisor would keep blaming you for not knowing how to manage your time. The overtime-pay system was calculated “by the hour” and required advance approval, while the supervisor would say that you simply didn’t know how to manage your time, so naturally…
3. The official end of the workday was 5 p.m., but the supervisor would often assign urgent tasks after 7 p.m. and say they had to be finished that day.
4. The meeting system and agendas were extremely long-winded; ceremony was valued more than efficiency. Departments would hold meetings one after another, and sometimes people were still waiting after 7 p.m. (the end of the workday was 5 p.m.). If you asked the supervisor whether there was going to be a meeting, they would say, “How should I know?”
No matter what time the meeting started or ended, it did not count as overtime pay.
5. It was a family business, and most supervisors were the owner’s relatives or friends. Some supervisors had poor emotional control and were prone to taking their bad moods out on people rather than addressing the issue. Yelling at employees in the office was an everyday occurrence.
6. Employees had to sweep the floors every day. On certain occasions, such as before Lunar New Year, there was a major cleanup. Although the workday ended at 5 p.m., the company required cleaning to begin at 4:30 p.m., and employees could not leave until a supervisor had inspected the work. For such a large company, finishing the cleaning and passing inspection usually took until after 7 p.m., again without overtime pay.
There were also occasions when employees were asked to stay after work to help organize and clean, without overtime pay. The owner’s mother stood in front of the time clock and said, “I’m standing right here to see who dares to leave!”
7. During working hours, a male supervisor would touch female employees inappropriately, such as the lower part of their arms or their waists, and massage female employees’ shoulders… Perhaps he didn’t think that counted as harassment?
8. Employees were once prohibited from leaving the premises during their one-hour lunch break (including to go to the 7-Eleven next door). This was dropped only after someone protested.
9. When the company’s sales exceeded one million in a short period, the reward for employees was a trip to the 7-Eleven next door. Each person received around NT$100 to choose one or two packages of snacks and a drink.
10. Regardless of how much salary was negotiated, the base salary was always the statutory minimum wage. The rest was added under other labels, and labor and health insurance were also reported using only the minimum wage.
The company also deducted pay under various pretexts. For example, being one minute late meant that the NT$600 attendance bonus disappeared immediately. Money was also deducted for failing to clock in or failing to submit a work log within the specified time.
11. Even when an employee submitted their resignation within the legally required notice period, the company would keep dragging things out. Once the date arrived, it would use reasons such as not having found a replacement or the handover not being complete to pressure the employee, by hard or soft tactics, into not leaving. It was best to use up all your annual leave before leaving; otherwise, the company would say it would settle the payment at Lunar New Year the following year.
12. The company constantly believed that employees should think about the company and that doing things for the company was simply their duty. But considering all the points above, did the company ever think about its employees? Heh.
Everything above describes what I experienced while employed there. I don’t know whether the situation has improved now, but I’m sharing this for everyone’s reference.
Has USB charging
LOL, opening so many job positions
Only when you get there do you realize there’s a reason
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Don’t ever create an account just to defend them
Lunch provided
Paid holidays
Labor and health insurance provided
Attendance bonus of a little over 600, but the entire bonus is deducted for one day of tardiness (==)
The interviewer was very disrespectful and kept looking at their phone throughout the interview
At the beginning, I was given a computer-based test covering software applications (AI Pen and Excel), which lasted 40 minutes
The actual job duties did not match the position advertised in the interview
Work starts at 8:00, but overtime may last until 6 or 7 p.m. The salary offered was very low, yet they repeatedly claimed to follow the Labor Standards Act
Clock in when starting work, but the end of the workday is governed by a responsibility-based system, with no overtime pay or compensatory leave
The salary calculation is unclear and is based on 30 days per month. For example, in February, one day's salary will be deducted, while in a 31-day month, you will be paid extra
The only real advantage is probably getting along well with colleagues and sharing both hardships and joys.
The areas that need improvement are endless!!
A bunch of extremely long-serving employees just wait to collect their pay without doing any work; they only work occasionally.
There are hardly any benefits for employees; they only think about constantly deducting money from your pay.
The promised bonuses and benefits are not much.
No matter how much experience you have, you won't get paid much here!
There are many strange rules. The boss really dislikes employees saying bad things.
But they never reflect on how bad they are themselves; they only keep covering it up.
The reputation of Elephant Nose has already been ruined~~~
There is lunch
I've never encountered such an impolite company.
As soon as I went in, the employee only asked me: “Do you use Mac or PC?”
Then they immediately started a computer test, testing software applications.
An hour later, the manager said that time was up. Isn't it common knowledge that the test has a time limit???
Hello, isn't it common knowledge that the examiner should clearly explain the test rules and time limit first???
Then the interview itself was terrible. They asked why I wanted to leave my job, saying that the original salary was quite good. My brief answer was that the job duties were disconnected from my professional expertise, and that the company itself had some operational issues; I thought it would be good to take advantage of being young and learn in a new environment.
In response, they said to me, “You need a company to give you an opportunity in order to learn at another company, too, right?? What would you do if no company gave you an opportunity?”
What a speechless question. Other people can find jobs easily, and this company isn't anything special. I can't tell whether the manager is out of touch with the world or simply rude and self-centered. I feel like I wasted my time coming here for an interview, because getting hired would itself have been a source of trouble.
The hiring manager was pretty good—spoke clearly and didn’t pretend to know things they didn’t.
Although the offered salary wasn’t high, they were quite generous with bonuses. Basically, if you have the ability, the bonus is high.
You need to help with shipping and take turns cleaning.
The company is your home, so there’s no need to commute.
To circumvent the Labor Standards Act, employees are not allowed to clock out. It’s entirely an all-inclusive responsibility system, and every long weekend or holiday, you have to take work home. Working an average of 12–13 hours a day is commonplace. Of course, there’s no overtime pay, because the time sheets don’t even have a clock-out time.
