I also advise everyone not to join this company.
The general manager is very skilled at using rhetoric to boast that sales commissions are the highest in the industry and have no upper limit. In reality, the shipping cost for each package sent, the shipping cost for each customer return, the refurbishment processing fee for damaged or depleted products returned, the shipping cost for reselling each refurbished product, commission deductions for failing to meet sales targets for benefits/slow-moving/seasonal products (with extremely high targets), commission deductions for failing to meet distribution quantities/store targets (with extremely high targets)... The countless deductions and penalties are all borne by the sales staff themselves. To save on shipping costs, the company chooses the cheapest outer-box materials; after all, if customers receive dented or damaged products and return them, the return shipping cost is also charged to the sales staff. It can be called the company with the most extensive and harshest deduction rules in the industry.
After you resign, the company will deliberately deduct the previous month's commission and withhold your salary, forcing you to spend time and energy consulting a lawyer and filing procedures with the labor bureau. Then, with an arrogant attitude, it tells the labor bureau that you have already resigned and the amount of money is not much anyway—if you want it, go ahead and take it!
This company operates in the gray and ambiguous areas of the Labor Standards Act and is also a frequent violator of its regulations. It never provides details on salary and commission statements, making it difficult for lawyers and the labor bureau to handle matters. Please pay close attention.
Run, don't come here—run away!
A family business where all your supervisors above you have the surname Lin or Yeh. They even bring in their daughters' husbands to work as supervisors.
The general manager is extremely self-righteous and often uses the supervisors' authority to negotiate online networking or Coupang-type deals at cost price, ruining the pricing, and then berates the sales staff for being unable to sell the products.
Mainland China white-label products—if you know, you know.
Sales staff are paid the minimum wage required by the Labor Standards Act, while everything else is padded into bonuses. After management ruins a product, they quickly discontinue it and switch to another model to continue the cycle. Then products returned by sales staff are charged with hefty return deductions and further deductions, which are taken from your salary.
After secondhand products are returned and refurbished, you're told to sell a certain amount every month. If you don't reach it, congratulations—you keep losing your bonus. Secondhand products are secondhand products; don't call them “welfare products.”
You hit your sales target and feel happy, right? Oh, your number of stores is insufficient, so your bonus is discounted to 80–90%.
When the planning team comes up with products that don't meet market demand, they still force you to stock them at a certain number of locations and in certain quantities. If you don't meet the requirement, congratulations—you'll be docked another bonus.
After you've stocked them, they discontinue the products, and if your return amount exceeds the limit, they keep deducting from your bonus.
That's right: if you work in the sales department, these deductions just keep repeating every month.
Let me remind you once again: low base pay, with everything else dangled as bonuses to lure you in, followed by a pile of penalties waiting for you every month.
Do you want to know where the bonuses deducted from you are going? Hehe, take a look at the cars driven by the family members.
The answer is right there.
This is truly the company I've seen that loves playing the “deduct money from sales staff” game the most. Super adorable.
Run, don't come here—run for your life!
A family business. All your supervisors above you have the surname Lin or Yeh. They even bring in their daughters' husbands to work as supervisors.
The general manager is extremely self-important and often uses the supervisors' capabilities to negotiate online network communications products or items for platforms like Coupang at cost price. After ruining the prices, they then berate the sales staff for being unable to sell the products.

Sales staff are paid the minimum wage required by the Labor Standards Act, while everything else is padded out with bonuses. After management ruins a product, they quickly discontinue it and switch to another model to keep doing the same thing. Then, when sales staff's returned products are processed, they are charged high return fees and deductions, which are taken out of their pay.
After second-hand products come back and are refurbished, you're told to sell a certain amount every month. If you don't meet the target, congratulations—you continue to have your bonuses deducted. Second-hand products are second-hand products; don't call them "refurbished goods."

This is truly the company I've seen that loves playing the game of deducting money from its sales staff the most. Absolutely adorable.
It created the illusion that there was an opportunity to change careers despite having no relevant work experience. The direct supervisor who conducted the interview wasn't too bad, but…
The first interview was with the direct supervisor. Throughout the interview, I mentioned that I had no relevant experience, and the supervisor also said that the company would train me. At the end, I received notice of a second interview, but I had to submit a product research report.
The second interview was with the company's general manager (a man—the one with a mole on his eyelid). The long wait wasn't a big deal; what came next was when the waste of time began. As soon as I sat down, I saw that the general manager had just finished dressing down an employee. After receiving my interview materials and the product report I had prepared myself, he asked, “So, what do you think are the differences among three of the company's sales channels?” I admit I really didn't answer well, and I felt somewhat sorry toward the supervisor who had invited me to the second interview. But the general manager then asked detailed questions about the products from my previous job. I answered as best I could and also explained that I wasn't in sales, so I really wasn't extremely familiar with the details. However, the manager continued questioning me and said, “You worked at your previous job for two years—how can you not know anything?” Once again, I emphasized, “I'm sorry, but I wasn't in sales.” Only then did he give up asking about the products and switch to questions about my position. He asked why I had left and what my job duties were. I explained that I left because of an internal position change at the company, and that I had worked in back-office support, reception, and sales. The manager then looked confused and said, “So how many days off do you get a month? Don't you get overtime pay for holidays? How pitiful—you were just a store employee.”
He then began asking about the product costs at my previous company, saying that I should calculate how much the store earned. He asked whether I had studied accounting. I answered that I hadn't and really couldn't do it. Nothing on my résumé was fabricated, but he still kept pressuring me to use a calculator to work it out. He asked, “So when customers came to ask you product-related questions, you didn't answer them?” I replied that there were dedicated salespeople, that I was busy with my own work and didn't have time, and that the company had separate departments, so we couldn't cross over into each other's areas and our expertise was different (he interrupted me before I could finish). The general manager then said, “With the amount of money you earn, one store should only need two people. Eight people is too many. You should have been able to calculate these things after two or three months, and you should have known that it wasn't making money. No wonder the company changed its system. Being laid off was only a matter of time for you, and with earnings like that, you must have been very idle at work every day…”
I stopped listening after that, because if I had kept listening, I would have started cursing at him ^_^
A general manager who looks down on people and on those working in the service industry. Fortunately, I didn't actually join the company. I only discovered this during the interview. If they really wanted someone who could do everything from the start, they shouldn't have gone to such lengths and wasted both our time.
