慶陞工業股份有限公司

Pros

1. Great for beginners looking to gain experience; they really like hiring people without experience. As long as you communicate well, the hiring rate is almost 100% because it is very difficult to find people.

2. For those interested in overseas sales of electronic components but without experience, this is a very good stepping stone.

3. As for coworkers, those around 30 or younger are generally easy to get along with. Be careful with older employees or those who have been there for more than 10 years.

4. If you work in overseas sales, you will be sent to overseas exhibitions and to visit local clients every year. There is no upper limit on the budget; as long as you are in the overseas sales department, you can travel abroad comfortably. You only need to visit 1–2 clients a day.

Cons

1. There is no clear future. The company has been going downhill, and no one can figure out why.

2. Every department passes the buck and is unwilling to proactively take responsibility.

3. The supervisors are inflexible and cannot keep up with the way young people think.

4. As for salary, men earn more than women.

1. The company provides meals (employee cafeteria), so you don’t have to worry every day about what to eat for lunch. Even on rainy or extremely hot days, you don’t have to feel that getting a meal is inconvenient. (The key point is that there isn’t anything to eat near the company either... you have to ride a scooter to Zhongfeng Road.)

2. The company has a large campus. If you drive, there are more than enough parking spaces inside, and there is also plenty of room for scooters. (Of course, if you want a spot under the rain shelter, you definitely won’t get one if you start work at 9:00.)

3. The company’s training is fairly good. They don’t throw you into the deep end, nor do they immediately give new employees KPIs as soon as they arrive.

4. If you get a good supervisor (section manager), they will help you advance and will also take good care of you.

5. The turnover rate isn’t particularly high. Quite a few people have worked there for 20 years, and more than half have worked there for over 10 years. Of course, there are also young employees who leave after one or two years or two or three years.

6. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have extensive experience; the managers (the “five brothers”) value personality traits the most.

7. You won’t be required to develop new contacts through cold outreach every month. Most customer development comes from various overseas exhibitions or customers calling or emailing to inquire on their own. (The company has been in business for 35 years, so basically many electronics companies in Taiwan know about Ching Sheng.)

8. If your foreign-language skills are good and you show your abilities appropriately to your supervisor, it’s possible to travel abroad for two-week business trips to the United States, Germany, or Europe for overseas exhibitions.

9. Interaction among colleagues is fairly okay.

1. There isn’t much room for advancement. Unlike typical innovative industries, where ability is the main consideration, the longer your tenure, the higher you climb.

2. Working hours depend on each person’s responsibilities.

3. There is indeed a preference for men over women.

4. It’s not very suitable for people who have many of their own ideas. If those above you tell you how to do something, just do it that way.

1. Good work atmosphere; everyone gets along well

2. Free lunch provided

3. The production line has air conditioning

4. Welcomes fresh graduates—a good place to build your skills

5. Leave work on time; stable employment

1. The basic salary is not high (depending on the position, a little over 20,000 to a little over 30,000), but the sales department has performance bonuses, which can bring the total to 16–20 months’ salary

2. There is no regular salary adjustment system; if you have no performance and are not favored by your supervisor, you will be stuck with the same salary indefinitely

3. A family business that favors men over women; almost all employees sent on business trips to Europe and the United States are men
