Sisley Paris_香港商希思黎化妝品有限公司台灣分公司

The disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

1. The company's systems are inadequate, and there are no standardized SOPs.

2. Regularly expected voluntary overtime is unpaid.

3. There are many miscellaneous tasks.

4. We are required to make a certain number of calls to customers.

The pressure of making calls to customers every day is overwhelming.

Even if you call customers and they come, if there are no sales that day, management will think you falsely reported the number of customer calls.

I really suggest placing more advertisements or hiring someone to handle incoming calls; it might even help increase sales…

They approached me through 104 about a position as a reserve store manager. After I went to the 101 branch for my first interview with HR, they said the next one would be with the supervisor. Then, at 7:52 p.m. the night before the second interview, they called, but I missed it. What kind of company calls someone at almost 8 p.m.? Is there something wrong with them? The next day, I called the personnel department, but no one answered. They had clearly sent me a text message about the second interview before, yet when they couldn’t reach me the day before the second interview, they neither called again nor sent me a text message. When I arrived, they told me to go to the East District SOGO to interview with the area supervisor (and even said they couldn’t reach me—what the hell? If the second interview was at 5 p.m. the next day, couldn’t they have called again or sent a text message like before?). Then they ghosted me for the following week. Completely inexplicable. They proactively invited me to interview, made me run around for nothing, and then ghosted me. Absolutely awful.

Good office environment, inside Taipei 101.

It’s extremely high up on the 69th floor, and you have to keep transferring. The people there are very cold. I was a temp worker. I asked whether they had group-order lunch boxes, and they said no, but there was clearly a lunch order at noon. HR and an employee also kept whispering to each other for a very long time. They seem to work overtime, because I left at my scheduled time. I always had to use a visitor card, which was very troublesome. To use the restroom or take the elevator, I had to call them and tell them I was an employee so they could open the door for me. There may be internal regulations, I guess. In any case, if you don’t need the money, don’t come...

Applied for an internal position; the written test took quite a long time.

The office was extremely quiet, with almost no sound at all. During the interview, I felt as though my answers were being questioned. I recommend that job seekers be well prepared mentally and make the most of the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and strengths convincingly. However, because the interviewer and candidate are unfamiliar with each other, the interview style was direct and included many evaluations based on personal subjective opinions, which may also make some people feel uncomfortable. It ultimately depends on how each individual adjusts their mindset. After all, it is a good thing that the supervisor is willing to spend time providing feedback to job seekers.

1. There is only one person in the entire company whose word counts, but she is merely someone holding a particular position. Everyone still has to call her “the boss,” and everything, big or small, has to be run by her. It is astonishing that no employee in any department has the ability to think or solve problems, because everything requires “asking the boss.” Honestly, even being a dog would not be this humiliating. There is nothing worth learning here, and there is no career development at all.

2. Decisions are changed constantly, yet this is explained away with the excuse that “everyone wants the company to be better.” In reality, everyone is exhausted. A meeting scheduled with you might suddenly be canceled when the time comes. The work atmosphere is terrible, punctuality is habitually ignored, and I have personally seen interviewees left waiting for a long time. Employees are not respected, and the person who thinks she is truly the boss speaks even more inappropriately.

3. This is a traditional industry that uses the number of overtime hours to prove how much employees love the company; the multinational-company image is completely fake. There are no benefits whatsoever. The products given to employees are expired or about to expire. If you leave work on time, people will take notice—but ironically, when the all-powerful boss is absent, everyone leaves exactly on time. Acting is what the employees here do best.

4. They call it frugality, but bluntly put, it is extremely stingy. From the very beginning, they brazenly state that there is no overtime pay. Please note that this is a criminal group violating the Labor Standards Act. There is no clock-in or clock-out system, but this industry is not one where employees are on a “responsibility system.” They may call you at 8 p.m. while you are eating dinner and suddenly arrange a meeting, or call you on your days off. They have absolutely no respect for employees’ rest time.

5. The company is closed-off and has no comprehensive employee training plan. You may end up performing duties completely unrelated to your position. It may be presented as learning, but when you think about it carefully, it is absurd. All performance evaluations are controlled by the all-powerful old woman. Of course, the two people primarily responsible for HR operations are also extremely long-serving. They often hold secret meetings together, conspiring against employees and discussing their shortcomings, then figuring out ways to make the person concerned resign.

6. It is so absurd that they criticize counter staff in front of you, calling them idiots, and occasionally blurt out contemptuous remarks that they can just stand there and collect money. This criminal group flaunts French resources in Taiwan and acts arrogantly, while being very good at packaging a positive image for overseas supervisors to see. They even encourage employees to put on the same act.

7. This makes you lose the passion you originally had for developing your career. You may even become able to survive without using your brain. Harmony among colleagues is only superficial, because everyone has seen the unspoken rules here.

#Absurd #Closed-off #Disrespectful #If the products weren’t genuinely useful, this place would really make you question your values—how can there be a general manager like this? #ThinkTwice #StronglyNotRecommended

#Even when resigning, you cannot openly tell your colleagues #Because they think you are a traitor #It could also become a laughable entry on your résumé

For the initial interview, they provided four time slots for applicants to choose from. You first had to fill out their company’s standard résumé and personal-data consent form, allowing them to check whether you had a criminal record or debts. The résumé itself was essentially the same as any other—just your education and work history. What puzzled me more were the questions on the second page:

They asked whether you smoked, whether you had any tattoos, whether you were sensitive to essential oils, whether anyone in your family or you personally had debts, and whether you had been hospitalized or taken medication for more than two weeks within the past three years.

I chose the first interview session, which was held at a department-store counter in southern Taiwan. Very few people attended—only three of us, including me.

I was the first to be interviewed. They initially asked me to introduce myself. They barely looked at my résumé and just kept asking me questions.

First, they asked what I expected from this job, why I had chosen this place, and whether I knew anything about their brand. Then they asked how I would receive customers, since their company’s products were expensive and their customers were all at the high-end, affluent-lady level.

Finally, they told me that the interview at the counter was the initial interview, during which she would screen suitable candidates for the head office. If I received notice of a second interview within seven days, it would mean I had been accepted. For the second interview, I might have to go to Taipei, or I might interview again when their HR manager happened to come to Kaohsiung for a meeting. Those who did not pass would not be notified.

Here’s the important part: she asked whether there was anything I wanted to know. Of course, as applicants, we want to know about the salary system! Otherwise, why would I be applying?

However, this supervisor never mentioned the salary from beginning to end. It felt as though their pay was a secret, so I said there was nothing I wanted to know for now, and that they could tell me about the salary system after I passed the initial interview.

Most of their sales associates were relatively older, perhaps because they had to serve affluent, high-end customers, so they needed auntie-aged staff to hold down the fort. In any case, at the cosmetics counter on the first floor, the two employees at this counter were probably over a hundred years old combined… So when hiring, they may not want people who lack experience or are too young (at least 30 years old).

Overall, there was nothing particularly good or bad about it. After the interview, I still had no idea about the company’s salary or days off, but you definitely had to be prepared to be asked a whole lot of questions.

NO

1. The interviewer required applicants to bring a résumé with a photo. After arriving at the company, applicants also had to fill out several pages of the company’s standardized résumé forms and take a test. After entering the meeting room, they had to wait for several more minutes before an HR manager came to conduct the interview.

2. The position applied for was an administrative receptionist. While filling out the forms, I heard the receptionist tell a delivery person that several people had already left this position. After the interview, I finally understood why employees could not be retained at this company.

3. The job description was completely different from what was discussed during the interview. The job posting stated that applicants’ language-related majors were not restricted, but when I actually went there, the first thing I was asked to do was introduce myself in English. Because I had not prepared, the HR manager berated me, asking how I would communicate with callers from foreign countries in the future, and then sent me away. The company insisted that the applicant had simply failed to read the job posting carefully, even though the job posting did not require this.

4. The HR manager was a woman approximately 50 years old or older. She spoke very sharply and sarcastically, showed extreme disrespect toward the applicant, and kept insisting on her own views.

5. Although the company is located in Taipei 101, its location on the 69th floor means that taking the elevator requires multiple transfers rather than a direct ride, which is very time-consuming.

The office is in Taipei 101. The decor is very upscale, the environment is great, and the attitude is good. Overall, they show quite a lot of respect for interviewees.

The waiting time was a little long.

The office is in Taipei 101, with a great view and very new interior design.

1. I had to wait an hour before being interviewed by the manager.

2. The position was for an HR assistant. The company contacted me to invite me to an interview, but in reality they were looking for someone with experience who was very good at Excel.

3. The manager was a woman who appeared to be over 50. She spoke very sharply and sarcastically, constantly pointing out the applicant’s shortcomings. Why waste time bringing someone in just to verbally attack them for free?

4. It felt like there was no overtime pay, and they were very picky about candidates. If you are not outstanding and cannot accept working without overtime pay, do not be tricked into going there to be verbally attacked.

5. The office is on a very high floor, so commuting in and out takes a lot of time.
