Read the community guidelinesMoved from a corrugated-metal building to a newly constructed office building, making it more comfortable.
1. A very traditional family business. The exterior is packaged very well, but deep down it is very Taiwanese in its traditional practices. All management positions are held by family members, and you even have to watch how people react before having a cup of coffee. Although coffee is said to be a free employee benefit, you are not allowed to operate the machine yourself because it is expensive and they are afraid you might damage it (someone once used it themselves and was harshly berated). A family member must prepare it for you (one person is specifically responsible for this).
2. There are internal conflicts in the office. The manager and some employees dislike the management and speak badly about them in private while appearing very friendly on the surface. Also, perhaps this is simply the company culture, but certain matters that should be kept confidential (here, confidentiality means information that you should not be the one to disclose to others) are passed around. The secretary is very loose-lipped.
3. The employee turnover rate is very high, with people constantly resigning. Even though employees work overtime every day, there is no overtime pay.
4. You are required to clean the office and restrooms and take out the trash. On the second and sixteenth days of each lunar month, you must also prepare offerings for worship and burn joss paper.
It is recommended that you apply only if you are willing to work for a traditional family business.
