Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival bonuses

The company has serious internal problems and is completely unable to communicate with lower-level staff. It always lives in its own world. When asking HR about company matters, they never know anything and always have to consult the business supervisor?? Also, the senior counter manager always thinks the company is right, disregards the sales associates’ feelings, and when you are about to leave, makes up problems to give you a hard time, then talks as if they are so good at handling things, while everything is done in a completely disorganized manner. It’s really awful.

-

1-There is no guaranteed one-month year-end bonus

2-The three holiday/ performance bonuses are determined by KPI scores and are not transparent

3-Company culture = sink or swim for newcomers

4-Serious conflict among colleagues and in the workplace

5-The company culture is conservative and unsuitable for people with their own opinions

6-Doing many things that are not the responsibility of one’s own department

Can't think of any.

There are benefits available to claim every quarter, but they also depend on the product's listed price, so there aren't many options to choose from.

If you value your career and your life, I recommend not joining this company. It will only waste your life. Before you join, it will suppress your abilities and salary; after you join, it will exploit you relentlessly, making you do odd jobs and unpaid work. The internal organizational structure is scattered and chaotic, and the administrative procedures are extremely cumbersome. The bosses are all Korean, but they have an even more exaggerated Taiwanese-style culture than Taiwanese companies. Office politics are also severe. Every department just does its own thing and dislikes communicating. Everyone also likes to shift responsibility and avoid doing their work, and the senior employees are even worse.

As soon as you enter the office, you feel suffocated. Moreover, most of the supervisors and colleagues are of low caliber, and there are huge differences in quality between departments.

This company has no professionalism and does not value professional expertise. It puts it nicely by saying it wants to take advantage of LG, but in reality it is simply a distributor. It is truly terrifying; I sincerely recommend not joining.

The biggest benefit is that there are many free products available. The value of the products you can receive varies depending on your position level, but they are also near-expiry items.

The company has a very high turnover rate. The general manager and vice presidents are all Korean. If you speak Korean, it is a significant advantage, but the salary structure is very Taiwanese: the actual base salary is quite low, and bonuses and salary adjustments are all calculated based on the base salary. There are two KPI evaluations per year. The company environment and management are also very Taiwanese, and the style is quite unlike that of a foreign company. If you do not place much importance on salary, this may be suitable for people seeking stability.

There is very limited room for development. If you are simply seeking stability, it is not a bad choice, and the work environment is relatively straightforward. However, the salary may not become very high, and you may need to wait for gradual salary adjustments to reach your desired level. People considering joining are advised to pay close attention to the salary structure and only join if they can accept it.

Only suitable as a stepping stone; with this experience, you can move on to a bigger and better brand ^^

It’s simply a terrible company

Please, everyone, don’t come here

Very poor benefits

Low pay. They sell expired and soon-to-expire products to employees

and don’t allow employees to return them

There are executives who are very good at daydreaming and relentlessly pressuring employees

There are managers with little ability and empty heads who only know how to talk

They are, however, very good at making empty promises

There are colleagues who are very good at slacking off and shifting blame

The job responsibilities are extremely exploitative. Whether you know how to do something or not, you are expected to handle the entire process from start to finish

There is also a very unfair salary structure

Year-end bonuses are calculated based on base salary

The leave policy is terrible

Annual leave can only be taken in half-day increments

There are managers with a strong need for control

When clocking in, you have to take a photo with your phone’s location enabled

The HR staff are very unprofessional

When you ask questions, they just give you the runaround

The company culture is extremely bureaucratic

People who can’t do anything can still get promoted once the time comes

Overall, it is a work environment very suitable for slacking off and doing the bare minimum

It is not suitable for proactive people

Basically, everyone capable has already left

Those left behind are just a bunch of people coasting through their days

You can’t learn anything from the managers or colleagues

Ah, actually, there is one thing

You’ll probably learn to mindlessly do a pile of miscellaneous tasks and administrative work

and develop a submissive mentality

Most of my colleagues are very nice.

They believe employees are expected to work overtime. They will even prevent you from leaving on time. Ideally, you should just keep your mouth shut and keep doing what you're told. It is also a company that values seniority over ability, and the management is difficult to describe.

The interview was conducted by two interviewers. They were elegant and very courteous, making the interviewee feel highly respected.

There were no drawbacks. I applied for the Whoo skincare brand under LG Taiwan.

The brand is a Korean skincare brand endorsed by Lee Young-ae. However, like interviews at all skincare companies, in the first round they asked me to introduce myself and go over all my work experience.

They then asked some questions about my previous work, such as which products sold best at the counter when I was working in sales, what the main products were, and how I would retain customers and generate sales, among other things.

As for salary and benefits, new employees have a three-month probationary period, a base salary of NT$25,000, and a monthly meal allowance of NT$2,200. There are eight days off per month, and working hours are mainly determined by the department store’s schedule. Bonuses for individual performance, team performance, and target achievement are calculated separately. There are bonuses for the three major holidays (Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Lunar New Year). After completing the three-month probationary period, the base salary increases by another NT$1,000 to NT$26,000. Employees also receive discounts on products they purchase… That is roughly it. As with interviews at other skincare companies, if you pass, you will be notified within seven days and proceed to a second interview. I am sharing this as a reference for anyone who wants to apply or is about to attend an interview.

Overall, I think the benefits are the best I have encountered in my interviews so far (and the interviewers were also the most beautiful). If you get the opportunity to interview, make sure to seize it and do your best!

Both interviewers were very elegant and sophisticated.

I applied for a position with their skincare brand, The History of Whoo.

Like interviews for other skincare brands, the first round began with a self-introduction, during which I was asked to go over all of my work experience.

Of course, this part was intended to assess my verbal communication skills. After all, being introverted is absolutely not suitable for working as a beauty consultant!

I’m sharing this as a reference for anyone considering or preparing to interview there.

There are welfare items available to claim (although they’re mostly everyday goods that couldn’t be sold ^^)

The company is actually quite local and old-fashioned. I left quite some time ago, but I still can’t forget it.

The heads of sales and marketing are both idiots + lunatics. Relying on their seniority, they’re actually empty-headed and only know how to pressure their subordinates relentlessly. You learn nothing and absolutely won’t want to stay.
