No advantages at all, just empty promises.

There is far too much that needs improvement. The company has only three people: the boss, the vice president, and an employee. The employee is the one who works the hardest and has to do everything:

Sweep the floor, wipe the tables, clean the coffee machine and the boss’s cup. Apart from inspecting goods and replying to customers’ emails, everything else is done by the employee.

What they love to say is, “If you don’t know, ask.” But after you ask, they say, “Go check the emails. It’s all in the emails.” Isn’t that just stating the obvious? If everything is in the emails, why ask again?

There are really no advantages at all

There are really a lot of drawbacks.

As it happens, I have friends in the area who previously worked at your company, and they all left about a year ago. The following is a consolidated list, to prevent future job seekers from mistakenly falling into a job-hunting trap:

1. The company does not enroll employees in labor and health insurance on their first day of employment.

2. Regardless of the position, a certain person in charge and the person who handles the money will find ways to make things difficult for you.

3. Never sign any of the company's forms or rules. When you submit your resignation, they will look for losses related to your duties and demand compensation, with the intention of ensuring that you do not receive your salary as punishment.

4. You must not confront the aforementioned people directly. They will secretly record conversations in their office. After you resign in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, you will basically be unable to receive your salary. If you need to collect your salary, you may receive a check from the company, followed by a certified letter claiming that you caused the company losses through negligence in performing your duties and demanding compensation. In more serious cases, they will make sure you suffer the consequences. The company has lawyers backing it (meaning the company has enough money to ruin you).

5. There is no one to hand over your work to. Even if someone teaches you, they will do so only once; after that, if you make a mistake, you will only be scolded. You cannot ask questions even when you do not understand (they simply do not care what happens to you).

6. During the interview, they make the company sound wonderful and talk about its advantages, etc. Once you are hired and start working, a nightmare is about to begin (they trick you into coming to work and then gradually make things difficult for you). I do not understand that mindset either.

7. The person who handles the money is the person in charge's trusted aide, and they work together to target newcomers (they are very good at putting on an act).

8. Even if you have already been hired and are working here, if you encounter a similar situation and want to resign, please calmly find an appropriate reason for resigning (for example: your parents are undergoing surgery, etc.).

9. A former colleague happens to work for another company on the same floor. They observed that new people are interviewing here every few days, but after only a few days they are no longer seen. This shows that the turnover rate is very high. Is it a problem with the company, or with the people? You will have to judge for yourself.

10. Before applying for a job, please search online for reviews of the company.

(Do some research before going to the interview as well; it might turn out to be an absolutely terrible company.) Avoid wasting your youth and your life working for companies with no vision and no conscience.

This is not my personal work experience.

It was merely reposted from the interview forum so that more people could see information about this company.

All the employees are nice and get along well (although they have been gradually leaving the company).

1. The things described by the aforementioned employees are all factual, and on top of that, the work atmosphere is truly unpleasant.

2. Some former employees have recently received lawyer’s certified letters from the company demanding compensation for customer complaints.

While employed, these employees fulfilled their responsibilities and worked diligently, yet after leaving, this is the treatment they received.

Pleasant relationships among colleagues (although they have also been leaving one after another).

1. The turnover rate is extremely high. Sales staff usually last 1–3 weeks before leaving, with the longest lasting 6 weeks (to the best of my recollection, from 2016/02/16 to 2017/03/18, at least 6 overseas sales employees, 3 quality assurance employees, 4 engineers, and 1 sales assistant resigned); there was also one person who applied for the vice president position and lasted 13 days. In total, that comes to 15 people per year.

2. On a new employee’s first day, it sometimes happens that HR asks the employee who left before the previous employee to come back and hand things over to you. This is because, after that employee left, the previous employee also resigned before you started work, and because the previous employee had not been there long enough to become familiar with the operations, the employee who left before them was asked to return and hand things over to you.

3. The office on Yangguang Street was moved to in early July 2016 and is very nicely decorated. The company has 10 seats, excluding the boss, so when company materials show that there are 15 employees, it seems potentially untrue and deceptive. (There was only one employee from mainland China, and that person also resigned in September 2016.)

4. The conference table in the meeting room is very expensive. When using it, you have to put a placemat or protective pad under your notebook; someone will be unhappy if it gets scratched.

5. After resigning, you have to return to the company the following month to collect a check for your final salary. This agreement must be signed on your first day of work, and once you sign it, even the Ministry of Labor cannot help you. Usually, you can simply ask HR for the check and arrange a time with HR yourself. Occasionally, however, you may have to schedule a time with the boss to collect the check—but isn’t that just constraining the boss’s time? Does the boss have nothing else to do? As for why, figure it out yourself!

6. The company vehicle (used by quality assurance and engineering) is a Toyota Corolla Altis over 10 years old (ninth generation, the 2000–2006 model), with at least 420,000 kilometers on it (as of the end of August 2016). It has no airbags and no traction control. The seat-height adjustment knob broke and was reported for repair, but the boss refused. The driver-side window also sometimes malfunctions. As for the dashcam, it was an old model that one colleague had at home, brought to the company, and left for coworkers to use after resigning. By comparison, the boss drives a Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake (4,300 cc).

7. Based on observation, the company’s orders basically rely on old customers and established relationships. It does not participate in trade shows and seemingly has no new customers. Essentially, the boss is the customers’ only point of contact. Since this is a trading company, applicants for the “overseas sales” position are advised to draft the e-mail and send it directly to the boss; unless you have authorization, it is best not to overstep your bounds.

8. As I write this review, a recently resigned employee (quality assurance) has received a notarized letter from the boss demanding compensation for losses from a customer complaint.

9. Applicants for the sales assistant position should ideally have a broad, sturdy build, because sometimes they have to ride a scooter to buy flowers for the boss and carry them to the boss’s home. Pay particular attention to sports-related injuries.

10. Based on freedom of the press (freedom of information), I am taking the risk of sharing this experience.
