If you have relatives in there, you can become king, sigh

If you happen to have received an interview invitation from them and are seeing this now, consider yourself truly lucky.
I sincerely urge you not to be deceived by the owner’s wife’s mask.
This company is truly like hell. Even an evening TV drama would not be this outrageous, yet every incident that happens at this company stars the owner’s wife—and she even thinks she is very good at handling things, without realizing that everything is complicated because of her.
The owner may appear to lead the entire company, but whenever the owner’s wife is involved, no one dares to speak. The owner’s wife, who thinks she is God, uses words from the Bible to “educate” everyone. “Out of control” is no longer enough to describe her; she is simply crazy.
If an employee has a problem, she will interview everyone around the person involved one by one, but never interview the person involved. In other words, she will not give you a chance to explain, because she simply does not believe you.
If you have even the slightest question about your salary and want to ask for clarification, you cannot! She thinks you are nitpicking over your pay and have a “greedy heart.”
You must obey supervisors unconditionally. Even if a supervisor is completely incompetent, you still have to follow them. Then, when she discovers that the subordinate supervisor is incompetent, she will ask why employees did not manage upward... What the hell?
You may think religion is not a big deal and that you only need to keep a low profile and remain neutral. Wrong! When she notices that she has never successfully converted you, and happens to find a minor issue to use against you, she will start telling others that you are unable to do your work well because you did not pay the price—using your own annual leave—to attend church or the church’s spiritual counseling courses, and that you have an inferiority complex!
I strongly advise fresh graduates not to enter this hell.
Two days off per week, with overtime pay
There is a spiritual class once a week. To put it nicely, it is a spiritual class; in reality, it is Christian proselytizing.
Although it is ostensibly voluntary, the owner’s wife actually hopes that everyone will attend.
There have been several occasions when salaries were inexplicably paid late, and no one informed employees of the reason for the delay.
Regular overtime (during the interview, they said overtime would be uncommon and that they hoped employees could leave work on time).
Although it is not apparent on the surface, both the owner and the supervisor are the kind of people who believe that “employees should work overtime for the company.”
If the overtime hours are excessive, bonuses for other items (such as the operations bonus) will be deducted.
There was also an unexplained deduction of NT$1,000 from my base salary. I once reported a problem with my pay, but it was ignored without any follow-up.
The owner’s wife is the person who holds the real power in the company.
If you offend her or upset one of her family members, she will relentlessly summon you for meetings.
All staffing and job adjustments are decided according to her wishes.
She looks慈善 on the surface, and everything she says is related to Jesus.
She believes that everything good or bad in life is part of God’s plan, and so on.
In reality, she is the one most skilled at speaking behind people’s backs and stirring things up between different people.
She says many things that are neither truth nor fact.
The owner is friendly, but he often fails to separate personal and professional matters and will ask employees to help handle affairs at his home.
Whenever he encounters another outburst from his wife, he only dares to be angry without speaking up and is not very capable of protecting employees.
If you happen to interview successfully and join this company, you will see many inexplicable and extremely outrageous things.
Please think carefully before submitting your résumé.

All I can say is, going to this company is a waste of time.
You won't learn much, and you'll also be pressured to believe in Christianity.
The boss's wife thinks she's God.
Very
scary
1. The salary is fairly good (the probationary salary for administrative customer service is NT$26,000, but someone who started at the same time as me was actually paid NT$27,000. I was completely confused, especially since I had better qualifications.)
2. The air conditioning is so cold in summer that you need to wear a jacket.
3. Business is doing very well, so basically you don't need to worry about the company going under.
1. You need to arrive early for work (the scheduled start time is 8:30 a.m., but you actually have to arrive even earlier; otherwise, there is no way to finish everything, because at 10:00 a.m. the warehouse needs the orders received from after the previous workday through that morning, and administrative customer service staff must key all the orders into shipping orders before 10:00.)
2. You work so much overtime that it feels unbearable (the scheduled end time is 5:30 p.m., but no one dares to leave on time. Even if you have finished your work, you can only pretend to be busy at your desk, working overtime until nearly 7 p.m. before they are willing to let people leave.)
3. Every Friday at noon, you have to eat half an hour early, and during the lunch break you have to recite the Book of Songs, confess, listen to hymns, and preach.
4. Work hours are extremely tense; even going to the bathroom feels stressful and rushed because you are afraid of delaying your work. You cannot even enjoy your lunch break—you have to finish eating quickly and get back to work.
4. The supervisor is very emotional and does not like newcomers who are too attractive, too outstanding, too eye-catching, or too capable at their jobs (possibly because they are afraid of having their position taken.)
5. When you first join, they say it sounds nice that they do not want everyone to stay late working, but it is all nonsense. In reality, staying until 7–8 p.m. is standard.
6. The salary is calculated incorrectly (I worked 15 days at the time, excluding holidays, but in the end I received only a little over NT$17,000. It was awful.)
8. The administrative customer service staff keep coming and going (the longest anyone stayed was three weeks, and the shortest was one week). The company never reflects on why it cannot retain employees; it just keeps recruiting new disposable workers.
7. During work hours, you are constantly forced to listen to hymns, which gives you a terrible headache.
8. Because customer service staff keep coming and going, you are expected to get up to speed very quickly, but the training period is nowhere near long enough, leaving new hires feeling extremely pressured.
The salary is actually decent, but it is often calculated incorrectly and paid late (someone makes mistakes in the calculations, but the boss’s wife has also said that this is a trial from heaven, implying that employees should endure it); even if a raise was discussed during the interview, it is actually very difficult to get one (it was also said that it depends on whether heaven is willing to help give you a raise)⋯ In short, you can take the job as a short-term position (during the initial interview, it was made clear that this job would not allow you to stay until retirement).
There is severe factionalism among the finance and customer service groups, and you have to flatter the supervisors and long-time employees (in the better-case scenario, you are inexplicably made the scapegoat; no matter what happens, you are yelled at first; in the worse-case scenario, you are directly persuaded to leave). The boss’s wife basically does not come to the company, but she holds the power to hire and fire, and even the boss cannot intervene (and the boss’s wife only listens to one-sided accounts from the long-time employees⋯). During slow periods, employees are persuaded to leave or take unpaid leave; during busy periods, the company frantically hires people⋯ an endless cycle⋯. The salary is actually decent, but it is often calculated incorrectly and paid late (someone makes mistakes in the calculations, but the boss’s wife has also said that this is a trial from heaven, implying that employees should endure it); even if a raise was discussed during the interview, it is actually very difficult to get one (it was also said that it depends on whether heaven is willing to help give you a raise)⋯ In short, you can take the job as a short-term position (during the initial interview, it was made clear that this job would not allow you to stay until retirement).
The company is implementing Christianization.
In the morning, employees must attend a gathering to listen to the boss share Bible teachings, read short Bible stories, and listen to hymns.
During working hours, employees must listen to hymns and cannot listen to their own music.
Senior management believes the Bible is everything, and that you can only have the work abilities they consider good if you understand the Bible.
Moreover, when starting work, all employees are required to sign up for church courses with her... They are extremely anti-gay and often attack Buddhism in every way.
