1. Supervisors give unclear and ambiguous instructions, making work extremely exhausting.

2. On the surface, they keep talking about unity, harmony, health, and happiness, but office staff do not receive overtime pay (even if you work diligently for eight hours, you can be sure the work still will not be finished~)

3. As for the salary increase system, please don't even dream about it. Someone worked there for ten years and only got a raise in the eighth year. Would you want to be in your first or second year?

That person who worked there for eight years was extremely conscientious, and both the boss and the boss's wife liked them very much, but they still would not give them a raise—only praise. Great, all talk and no action~

4. If you feel that you have an endless supply of passion, you can come and take on this company. It is very suitable for brave people.

The company interior is quite clean and bright, with images of the plant facilities displayed on the walls. It feels like a fairly substantial operation!

The office occupies the 13th and 14th floors, and the interview was on the 14th floor. It seemed like all the seats were occupied. I had read online that it was too quiet, but during my interview, why did it seem a little noisy...? Still, it felt pretty good!

Before leaving, I saw everyone eating tofu pudding. I wonder if it was afternoon tea.

There was a test during the interview, but they did not mention it beforehand, so I was not mentally prepared.

Even though all the information on the job bank was already complete, I still had to fill out so many forms. It was a waste of time, and it was also easy to leave out important information.

The sales position seems quite challenging, but I would really like to give it a try.

HR will deceive interviewees during the interview process:

1. HR sends information about job opening A.

2. The job seeker explains that they do not have the skills required for A, but HR still uses the content of another job opening to deceive them into attending the interview, causing the job seeker to waste time and money.

There is a lot of work, so it won't be boring. There are opportunities for overtime.

The senior employees are extremely rude to newcomers. One of them treats me like his underling and orders me around as if he were the most important person. Another one said, when I reminded him that his way of speaking was unacceptable, “If you can’t accept it, then don’t.” How ridiculous. Clearly, the problem was with those senior employees, yet they still expected me to apologize? A supervisor who is so unreasonable should pack up and go home. They also don't teach you how to do anything; they only tell you at the last minute, and then, when something goes wrong, they come back and scold you, saying it's your problem. (At the Xianxi plant,) workplace verbal bullying is also quite serious at this company. 👍

In accordance with the Labor Standards Act

The factory is very hot

Men and women do different work but receive the same pay

High turnover

People who want to coast tend to stay longer

None

Applied for a shipping position during the interview but was later transferred to receiving.

Results after two weeks on the job:

1. During the interview, they said overtime was available, but after reporting for work, they said new employees could not work overtime because they did not yet generate value.

(Is the statement in the job posting that overtime pay is calculated separately a lie?)

2. When overtime was required, the supervisor asked, “Are you really that short of money?”

3. The supervisor always makes sarcastic remarks.

4. During the interview, they spoke highly of you, but after you reported for work, they did not even want to acknowledge you.

5. When there are work-related problems, you are in trouble whether you ask a senior employee or not.

5. It also takes time to work independently (warehouse receiving, keying in data, reconciliation)—about half a year. Before then, you can only receive the base salary.

6. Everyone always works separately, with no interaction at all, especially new employees. They expect you to learn quickly but do not teach you.

7. Supervisors and frontline employees are always adversaries.

Never-ending work

A bunch of sycophants

When senior management says something, middle management has to carry it out. If the execution doesn’t go well, it’s deemed inadequate work—what more can one person who already wears multiple hats be expected to do? For 365 days, a certain manager is constantly being reassigned, and assistants in a certain unit and section come and go one after another.

Speaking nicely doesn’t mean someone can do the job. The person who quietly gets things done is always the one who suffers the most.

When faced with problems, a certain senior executive only knows how to push them away and evade responsibility. When things go right, it’s credited to them; when things go wrong, it’s always the subordinate’s fault.

1. You have to learn everything and be able to do everything.

2. There are no clothing restrictions at the Taichung head office; uniforms are required at the factory.

3. Taichung head office:

　- The pantry has a microwave and refrigerator, so you can bring your own lunch.

　- Cookies and snacks are available after worship ceremonies; on the day the Earth God is worshipped, KFC is provided for lunch.

　- The air conditioning is very strong (it can be turned on at 28°C).

　- Company vehicles are available by reservation; there is a fuel subsidy for driving your own car.

　- Coat racks are available for raincoats.

　- The coffee machine is free to use. (But I heard there are cockroaches...)

1. Money:

　- Low salary and difficult raises = you won't stay long = one person does the work of two. (Positions are left vacant in the organizational structure, and employees come and go constantly...)

　- Performance reviews = being favored ≠ ability; raises = you have to request them yourself ≠ approval

　- Raises, year-end bonuses, and other bonuses are based on performance reviews, but you never know your score.

(They don't dare publish them because they're all full of personal bias! So much for separating public and private matters!)

2. Inside information:

　- 80% of the employees are newcomers; the company can't retain veteran employees, and newcomers are paid more than old hands. (The five-year employee turnover rate is 90%.)

　- There are many vice presidents. One vice president has poor emotional intelligence and bangs on the table and berates people whenever in a bad mood.

　- The boss says to follow the ISO SOP, but what senior managers say is the real SOP. (When they want to find fault, they say you didn't follow ISO.)

　- You only clock in; the company automatically clocks you out. (Want to apply for overtime pay? Don't even dream about it.)

　- The 14th-floor pantry is filled with the smell of urine every afternoon.

　- Duty shifts (refilling coffee and water, turning lights on and off): limited to women (except supervisors and sales staff).

3. Benefits:

　- The year-end bonus depends on the performance review; up to NT$1,000 for Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and birthdays, and NT$200 for the first day back at work after the New Year holiday.

　- An employee trip is held every year. Domestic trips are free; for overseas trips, only an amount equivalent to the domestic trip subsidy is covered, and you pay the rest yourself. (The value of the free benefit is recorded as taxable income.)

　- Clubs: You pay for activities that cost money yourself. (In other words, they are merely nominal.)

P.S. The boss knows that the reviews on Tianyancha are very truthful. (There are many negative reviews, but they just won't make any changes—威ㄨ~~~)

+ Black coffee is available every day (self-service, with payment required)

+ A welfare committee provides various benefits

+ The head office offers more benefits than the factories, such as air conditioning and company-provided drinks or worship food on special occasions. If you really want to challenge yourself, the head office is a more comfortable place to work

+ The company prohibits inappropriate romantic relationships and values family ethics

+ The Administration Department understands employees’ hardships and often proactively negotiates for better benefits

+ There are so many orders that the company is unlikely to go out of business, even during a financial crisis. It is a company where you can stay for the long term (if you do not mind the low salary and only seek stability)

+ An autumn bonus was added. Although it is not much, the gesture is sincere

+ Environmental cleanliness is taken seriously, and the company is willing to spend money to address poor conditions, such as removing rats

+ Some senior executives are highly capable and understand the company’s product structure very well, which is admirable. They are also approachable and willing to provide thorough guidance to subordinates

+ Some senior executives are enthusiastic about helping, willing to share with employees and accept feedback about shortcomings

+ Some capable employees are helpful and do not haggle over every little thing

+ The company actively promotes punctuality and safety. In the Taichung departments, if everyone attends the morning meeting, the company provides drinks or snacks

+ Some senior executives have strong positive energy

A. Personnel

- Some senior executives lack professional knowledge and refuse to pursue further training, instead resorting to arguing irrationally and teaching subordinates incorrectly, causing trouble for other departments

- Some senior executives are two-faced; they say one thing to one person and another thing to someone else

- Some senior executives are prone to taking out their anger on others and holding grudges. After venting their anger, they seek sympathy and think that buying drinks and telling a joke will make everything okay

- Senior executives lack language and communication skills and often stammer during morning meetings, which wastes everyone’s time. (Please get to the point. Do not randomly scold people without understanding the details. Being in a senior position does not mean you can scold someone until they cry or make them feel worthless. The people being scolded are absolutely devoted to doing their jobs for the company.)

- Some senior executives have a strong need for control and expect subordinates to be on call 24 hours a day. Oh—not “expect”; it is more accurate to say “order”

- Some senior executives lack judgment. When difficulties arise, they show no sense of urgency and let things deteriorate, always leaving higher-level executives to clean up the mess

- Some senior executives lack the ability to estimate in advance and judge the suitability of introducing new systems, causing employees to spend twice as much time wrapping things up. Their regular duties can only be completed by working overtime. (This has happened with more than one system)

B. Policies and systems

- On the surface, the company says its pay-raise system is open and transparent, but it likes to make grand promises and give people room for imagination. It may even promise a raise and promotion if targets are achieved, only to ultimately refuse with various absurd excuses

- The turnover rate is high. The company is unwilling to face the real reasons employees leave and only blames senior executives for not knowing how to lead

- Capable people do not stay long unless they are highly paid and highly stress-resistant. People who lack ability but are good talkers stay the longest—why would they leave when they are so satisfied with their salaries?

- The company wants to hire highly efficient people with more than three years of experience while paying entry-level salaries meant for recent graduates with no work experience

- The company is in complete chaos—teamwork and harmony? EXCUSE ME?? What are you talking about?? Because the pay-raise system is poor, employees are unwilling to help one another, and their ability to push work onto others keeps getting stronger

- The company has no complete SOPs. Senior executives are taught one reporting format, while new hires are expected to understand another

- Employees who resign are required to leave behind complete SOPs and may not withhold information

- Cross-departmental communication is ineffective, causing people to push responsibility for abnormal costs back and forth. It is like a small mafia organization. The Quality Assurance Department suffers the most: it has to make the determinations and still gets resented

- Employees’ diligence is evaluated by whether they work overtime until late at night, rather than by whether they work efficiently

- The company is marketing-oriented, so every unreasonable customer request must be absorbed and carried out, even when the marketing employee and manager themselves think it is unreasonable

- The factory has serious problems with items being lost during packaging. In minor cases, suppliers must replenish them free of charge before customs clearance; in serious cases, customer complaints lead to a high rate of quality defects due to missing items

- The year-end bonus is small, and the evaluation process is neither transparent nor fair. It would be better to disclose the evaluation to each employee and increase the weight of manager evaluations, so employees understand what they need to improve and how they can increase their year-end bonus, rather than concealing every shortcoming out of fear that people will leave

- Too many orders and too many abnormalities make the packaging schedule unstable, but shipments can still be made on time. (They do not meet customers’ on-time shipping requirements; all departments, purchasing suppliers, and subcontractors are highly efficient at handling urgent abnormalities, but they should not wait until the last minute to panic. Every detail should receive more attention during normal operations.)

- Work is distributed unevenly: there are few people who complain effectively and many who do not complain

- All positions at the Taichung head office are treated as responsibility-based positions, so overtime is unpaid, while office staff at the factories receive overtime pay

- Overtime is severe on the factory packaging side. It feels as though employees may work themselves to death. Please pay attention to this

- The company does not hire more people even when orders surge, reducing employees’ work quality. When this is reported to management, they respond by saying employees should learn more and asking, “Why can others do it but you cannot?”

- A raise will succeed only if a manager initiates it. The success rate of self-nomination is practically negative, unless resignation is used as a bargaining condition. However, after receiving a raise, your workload increases dramatically; if you cannot handle it, you will be told, “You asked for this yourself, so who can you blame?”

- If someone truly lacks both ability and communication skills, the company will not terminate them; it will only find ways to force them to leave

- The factory and office are not integrated. Because of company strategy, phone communication is often necessary, making it impossible to explain the true causes of abnormalities face-to-face (discussing things in person is clearer than by phone). However, the Quality Assurance Department has strong professional capabilities and is good at making determinations and handling issues, which helps compensate for the shortcomings

C. Work environment

- The workstations are too small. If someone who talks frequently sits nearby while you are trying to think hard, you will be distracted and uncomfortable

- The company saves money wherever possible (there are too many examples to list)

- If you are in poor health, this company may not be suitable for you. You need to be highly stress-resistant. Comfortable positions have already been filled, and you may have to wait until retirement for an opportunity; if you reapply, your salary will definitely be cut

- Some managers object to employees traveling abroad for leisure. If you need to travel abroad every year for two weeks or more, avoid this company, because everyone’s workload is already too full and they cannot cover for you for that long

- There is little consideration for pregnant women; their work continues as usual, with no special concern

I don't know about the other departments, but I'm very happy in our department. Everyone helps each other!

It's very busy; there is no off-season.

The interviewer said that there is an employee trip every year, with domestic and international destinations to choose from. This is what I like most; everything else also complies with the Labor Standards Act.

The office atmosphere is dull. It is different from the company I worked for previously—everyone was very quiet from the moment I entered the company until the interview ended.

None

1. A bunch of managers have no sense of responsibility or ability and only know how to flatter.

2. The female owner is emotional—one moment she smiles at you, the next she is mean, leaving you baffled.

3. Even after people leave the company, they may still be bad-mouthed and accused of fabricated offenses.

4. Getting a raise is extremely difficult unless you are very good at flattering. In addition, a raise must be approved by a manager who is not even from your department...

5. You are not allowed to clock out after work because they are afraid of being caught violating the Labor Standards Act by not paying overtime.

6. On-site staff who work more than 46 hours of overtime are required to clock in and out on a separate paper time card, for fear of being caught violating the Labor Standards Act.

1. The benefits and employment policies are well established

2. Suitable for people who prefer stability and are not seeking career development

1. Raises are difficult to obtain, bonuses are hard to receive, and employees with ordinary or poor performance may have better development opportunities than those who work hard or perform well. Catering to superiors is the fastest path to advancement.

2. You only have a chance of receiving a target-achievement bonus after working at the company for more than a year. Performance bonuses are paid as dividends; I have never encountered or heard of a system that delays bonus payments more than this. Multiple bonuses and the year-end bonus are paid together without an itemized breakdown, and the amount of the year-end bonus is determined entirely at the discretion of company supervisors.

3. The company does not understand or appreciate the hard work of support units such as procurement and the factory, disregards production capacity, and focuses only on taking orders and helping the boss make more money.

4. The work environment drains employees’ enthusiasm and treats them as disposable and cheap labor.

5. The proportion of employees appointed through favoritism by those in power is relatively high, and the appointed HR personnel ignore employees’ problems.

There are no pros.

1. The lack of space at the company cannot be resolved.

2. I interviewed for a position on the packaging line, but was assigned to shipping operations instead.

3. The boss has money to build a new factory, but no money to give employees a raise.

4. The corporate culture is terrible, and turnover is very high.

5. In certain departments, employees are required to clock in and out with a punch card when working overtime during peak months.

No advantages

1. In addition to the low salary, office workers are under a responsibility-based system, and there is no overtime pay.

2. Some department supervisors lack professional competence, refuse to admit when they make mistakes, and like to shirk responsibility.

3. The more capable people do, the more they are expected to do; those without ability only need to talk and curry favor with others! **

None

1. Every time I enter the office, the atmosphere is really bad, making me want to leave as soon as possible.

2. Management lacks sufficient expertise in warehouse management. Sometimes, just to satisfy customers, they treat employees like slave labor. For example, today a sales representative's customer needed a certain product, but the sales team failed to properly control the quantity. The customer then placed an order, but there were not enough finished products. As a result, management required us to find the items in the storage area that needed to be repacked, help replace the cartons, and ship the products. This caused the warehouse staff's regular work to remain unfinished, because under normal procedures, the carton replacement work is handled separately by designated personnel when they have time.

3. The overtime hourly wage is only 112 per hour. Instead of working overtime, you could find a part-time job elsewhere that pays more than this hourly rate.

4. There is not enough space in the warehouse. When management receives external deliveries or places orders internally with the factory, they never consider whether the warehouse has sufficient space and time to handle them, which causes problems when picking goods. They use shelving, but when there is not enough space, goods are placed in the aisles between the shelves. Then, if a forklift is needed, the goods in the aisle have to be moved first, wasting time on this kind of ridiculous task.

5. When finished goods are transferred from the packaging line to the warehouse, there is no interdepartmental document-transfer process. The computer records show that the goods have already been transferred to the warehouse, but the goods are not actually there. It feels like there is no concept of management.

6. The company does not have a set of SOPs for employees to refer to. When I raised this with my supervisor, the response was, “If there were SOPs, would you actually follow them?” The problem is, how can people be trained without SOPs?

7. The organization is supposed to have four people, but the company has continually been unable to hire enough staff. As a result, one person has to do the work of two people. The company has not offered any indication of how much additional pay there will be, and after working yourself to exhaustion, you are still criticized for being inefficient.

The supervisor seems easygoing and talkative. It seems that the benefits system complies with regulations. Applicants for sales positions are expected to have an emphasis on practical experience. The company’s size gives people a sense of prospects, making me want to give it a try—and earn bonuses.

Among the foreign sales positions I applied for, the test was relatively short and simple. If you have sufficient experience and good language skills, they are also quite willing to offer a good salary.

The office is small and quiet... It seems that everyone is very busy...

A company with a strong structure; compared with some companies, it does provide most of the benefits that should be offered.

It depends on the department. Basically, only a few departments don't need to work overtime; the rest work excessive overtime. However, you can choose to leave work and handle the tasks the next day.

Some departments are very harmonious internally, while others are rife with infighting. The department team as a whole has little cohesion, and there is always something to argue about every day.

There aren't really any advantages.

A family-run company. If they don't want to employ you, they'll come up with all kinds of reasons. In reality, they simply prefer new employees and want to force out existing staff without paying severance, so they find various pretexts to pressure you into transferring to an assistant role doing miscellaneous tasks. The turnover rate is extremely high—three managers left within six months, not to mention the regular staff. The organizational chart changes every month; I don't even want to look at it anymore.

Unknown, as I only went for an interview.

1. As soon as I walked in, I felt that the office atmosphere and layout were very stifling, and I didn’t want to stay long.

2. The interview consisted of two rounds. The first was a written test involving Chinese-English and English-Chinese translation of trade-related English. The second was an interview with a supervisor, who unexpectedly made the very first question about describing my previous work experience in English. Honestly, inviting a senior international trade sales candidate for an interview and then testing their spoken English is very low-class!

3. They asked about the reason for leaving my previous job, but there were no particularly in-depth questions. They also did not ask any situational questions.

4. They asked about my expected salary but did not say whether it was acceptable or not.

5. It felt like a very stifling company and one that is frequently recruiting on 104.
