1. The company forces you to install a GPS in the vehicle, tracking your location at all times. If you no longer want to do the job and take leave to attend an interview, your supervisor will even check where you went and then ask you upon your return if you went to an interview. It’s truly speechless—there is absolutely no privacy.
2. One person is used as four people. If you fail to commercialize, congratulations—one particular supervisor simply can’t be bothered to care whether you live or die.
3. One particular supervisor is incompetent but can still be a supervisor. What they say in front of and behind people is completely different. They like to put on airs and act as if they’re very capable, yet they can even forget what they themselves have said…?
4. For the first time in my life, I encountered a customer placing an order on their own, yet the supervisor still scolded me for ordering so much merchandise. What the hell? You don’t want business?
5. Having said this much, job seekers should be able to understand now, right?
6. Finally, you need to be in excellent physical condition. The volume of goods is large, and you also have to double as a driver’s assistant. The vehicle’s suspension also needs to be in good condition; it’s very easy for the vehicle to be loaded full of laundry powder and liquid detergent.
7. Be sure to ask clearly about the salary structure. The devil is in the details.
Next to the largest bottle cap company in all of Taiwan
If you are extremely unlucky and end up interviewing on the second floor, where a short man with a very unpleasant expression named Mr. Chen conducts your interview, be sure to ask whether the company provides subsidies for psychiatric care or tetanus shots.
1. HR said the lunch break is 1.5 hours.
2. According to HR and the interviewer, the company does not tend to require overtime. I heard that people usually leave work on time at 5:30 PM.
3. The company is easy to find. After crossing Taichung Hongyang Bridge, it can be found within a few minutes.
1. You have to fill out a pile of forms during the interview. Since Miaoguanjia is a mainland Chinese-funded enterprise, all the information provided during the interview is also made available to recruiters at all of its mainland Chinese-funded affiliates and retained for at least 15 years. However, the position is a Taiwan-based position. After asking about this, HR and the interviewer both said that it was impossible that the employee would be sent to work in mainland China. (Then why share the information with the mainland side?)
2. They do not respect job seekers with experience. The interviewer acknowledged that I had mid-level experience, but after calculating everything, they were only willing to offer NT$30,000. HR said this was the salary during the probationary period. After the probationary period, the salary would depend on ratings from the various contacts responsible for the business, after which the supervisor would make the final decision. Therefore, it is completely impossible to know what the final salary would be or whether it would meet one’s future expectations.
3. If your work performance does not meet expectations within three months, the probationary period will continue to be extended. You do not know when it will ever end.
4. The company’s HR department called to express that they hoped the applicant would be willing to work for their company, and then immediately asked Miaoguanjia’s HR: “Why offer an experienced job seeker NT$30,000?” HR gave two reasons:
a. The applicant’s earlier work experience did not match the work experience required for this position. (Does HR expect job seekers never to have worked in any other type of role? Why not focus on the fact that the applicant had completely relevant experience? This is an outrageous excuse for cutting the offer!)
b. HR said they had only been there for one month and would confirm it with the supervisor, but never provided any further response.
(Please respect job seekers. You want someone with experience, yet you also want to keep the salary low. Being polite is the bare minimum, isn’t it? Could you not be so outrageous?)
1. Everyone is very nice, and people from different departments get along well without scheming against one another.
2. The managers all take good care of their subordinates.
3. After changing owners, everything has complied with the Labor Standards Act (mainland Chinese owners are afraid of breaking the law).
The company’s systems are very weak and not electronic at all; all approvals are done on paper.
No advantages
Absolutely ridiculous—they ask you to fill out a bunch of interview information, then when you arrive, they brush you off for 10 minutes using the excuse that the supervisor didn’t show up.
It was basically just going there to take a piss and leave.
