Read the community guidelines1. The main advantage is probably that some people are easy to get along with (but not everyone).
2. Twice a month, you can go out temporarily for one hour without having your pay deducted.
3. It can be used as a stepping stone to gain experience, but it is not recommended for the long term.
1. I don't know about the head office, but at the factory, employees are not allowed to go out during the lunch break.
2. Even drinking beverages is monitored; they might as well not install vending machines.
3. A certain factory's R&D manager speaks harshly, complains everywhere, and even borrows money from people privately—you never know when you might be bad-mouthed behind your back.
4. Infighting between departments is very serious.
5. It is a family business, so getting promoted is basically impossible. You only see incompetent people or family members steadily climbing higher.
1. A place for newcomers to learn knowledge related to the textile industry
2. Convenient transportation during standard working hours (07:30–18:30)
3. The lunch break is 75 minutes, slightly better than the industry average
4. There are many places to eat in the alleys across the street
5. It is very close to Neihu’s 737 Alley at dinner time, where the food is delicious and very affordable
6. Most senior and new colleagues are easy to get along with
1. The first advantage depends heavily on the person training you or your direct supervisor
2. The intervals between trains on the Wenhu Line vary greatly at night
3. In contrast to the lunch break, the salary is below the industry average
4. Technically, you can apply for overtime, but in practice it is never granted
5. The management regularly makes grand promises, but its execution is even worse than the governing efficiency of a certain party after it gained complete control of the government
6. A small number of senior colleagues are so difficult to get along with that they can become a reason to resign (coordinated bullying through official business and administrative measures is not out of the question)
7. Personnel appointments are based on intuition and observation rather than actual performance
8. Compensation evaluations follow the same principle as the previous point
Suitable for recent graduates to learn. The colleagues are relatively friendly compared with those at outside companies. A stable job where you can learn things.
There is no clear salary increase or promotion system. Assistants remain assistants for years. If you want a promotion, they will only reply that the employee is still under observation, and then nothing comes of it. Never believe the promotions or salary adjustments promised by supervisors; basically, they are all lies. This is a job suitable for recent graduates or people waiting for retirement.

The supervisor only knows how to exploit employees.
When the probationary period ended, they played dumb, and the salary adjustment was different from what was originally promised.
Even when I said I was leaving, they said they hoped I would stay and that they still needed to observe me.
All kinds of grand-sounding excuses were used to make me do more work while paying me an extremely low salary.
Interns (part-time workers) are really pitiful.
They come to the company earning only the minimum hourly wage, then do assistants’ work.
All day long, they brainwash them by saying this place is great and that it lets them experience what they’ll need to do after entering society.
But isn’t this place one of the companies they could choose to work for in the future anyway???
All the shortcomings of a traditional-industry family business can be felt in this company (which claims to be one of Taiwan’s top three knitted-fabric manufacturers).
To the former boss: I hope you see this. Don’t focus only on Vietnam—Taiwan is Mian Chun’s root. I’m telling you this because you’re still young and can still be saved.
To the former former boss: Now that you’re old, you should really just retire, and take your protégés (the royal guard) with you while you’re at it. It would be better for this company.
Because they all imitate you: they enter the company without doing any work and only know how to talk.
Finally, thanks to Mian Chun. This awful place really helped me grow a lot.
Now, whenever I encounter any of society’s harsh realities, I feel they are minor matters.
I’m speaking out not to start a fight, but because I hope this world can be just a little different because of me.
GL HF. World peace.

Low pay for full-time positions. They especially like hiring university interns. Whenever they see interns, they feel sorry for them.
Those above will take it for granted and say that interns are supposed to experience full-time work.
They exploit people like this even before they have been converted to full-time employees. Tsk tsk tsk.
When you can't finish all your work, management will tell you that this is normal, and that you'll get used to it later.
Heh. WTF—you can't finish all your work, but your salary doesn't increase and may even decrease.
Stable work, monotonous and rigid.
On the surface, they say the salary complies with the Labor Standards Act, but they make all kinds of deductions, and what they pay is completely different from what was originally promised. They treat lower-level employees very poorly. When problems are reported, supervisors will not respond at all; they will only deliberately target you. The work environment is dull and oppressive, and colleagues engage in infighting. I have even witnessed verbal and physical bullying in the workplace before. Because it is a family business, there is zero opportunity for promotion—being reborn into a different life is more likely.
