The colleagues get along very well.

However, the managers who have the authority to speak are extremely unpleasant, and their thinking is also outdated.

The office environment is terrible (there are no windows and the air does not circulate), and the salary never changes (it was already lower than that of other department stores to begin with, and there are no bonuses. Meal allowances and the bonuses for the three major festivals are all loaded onto a card, forcing you to spend only at the department store). Promotions are not based on work ability, but only on whether you know how to flatter the people above you.

People who quietly do their jobs are given more and more responsibilities, and also have to handle administrative tasks for the Wuri location. One person is essentially being used as several people. There are only around 250 internal employees, yet they also have to be responsible for the 20th floor and nearly 50 people at Wuri. Most importantly, the people above do not hire additional staff; they only keep increasing your workload. Of course, they do not increase your salary either, and they will criticize you whenever you take leave.

Many department-level managers are incompetent. Whenever something happens, they make the people below them handle it. Even when everyone has resigned, they still do not think it is their own problem. In short: run away quickly. Whether you work in the back office or as a floor manager, everyone feels that the salary is not proportional to the workload. The more capable people stay for a while and then leave; the company cannot retain talent.

Do not ever think about staying until retirement, unless you can reach department-manager level. Employees below that level are only there to be mistreated, whether they retire or resign.

Regarding the salary, an $1,800 meal card is provided, which can only be used for meals within the company. After labor and health insurance deductions, the salary is nearly $30,000, which is low compared with other department stores.

Every department is severely understaffed, so one person is made to do the work of two, resulting in a high turnover rate and problems with work handovers. The supervisors generally do not know how to do their jobs, and there are also communication problems between departments. The work procedures are fixed, but whenever cross-departmental work is involved, someone always slacks off and pretends nothing is wrong.

Many mid- and senior-level managers are difficult and may get angry and scold people over strange things. Think carefully before reporting to work.

Get along well with the counter staff

Get along well with colleagues at the same level

My position was a management trainee.

First, regarding the salary: management trainees earn 28.6K, from which a meal fee of $1,050 is deducted (you receive a meal card worth $1,300).

= You pay $1,050 in exchange for $1,300 worth of meal credit.

This may seem like a good deal, but you have to use up the entire meal allowance every month; otherwise, it is confiscated~~

Moreover, it can only be used at restaurants. Unlike at 新X, where it can be used to buy other products (cosmetics, shoes, and so on...)

It is basically the concept of spending your own money and forcing yourself to finish it all~~

Next, if you are assigned to a department on a good floor, you are truly lucky, and you will have a fulfilling and happy experience.

However, I was assigned to an extremely problematic floor. The supervisor knew nothing, and neither did the management above them. They would also randomly yell at and scold you over completely illogical things...

Nearly ten people have left the floor where I worked in succession (including me), and several of them were driven away by the manager's scolding.

The manager would directly call you over and scold you over completely illogical things. You had to agree with her and admit that you were wrong... Otherwise, she would keep yelling at you until you could not do anything else...

Before I left, she yelled at me again over something completely outrageous. She had always done things this way before, but now she said it was all my problem?

She is very good at shifting blame... When the handover was chaotic before, the accounts were also a mess. You kindly sorted out the accounts, but in her eyes, you were the one who had made them such a mess—it was all your problem....

I was completely baffled. I had not even reported for duty at that time... I sorted everything out, yet I was still scolded and told it was my problem.

There were just too many ridiculous things.... It was simply impossible to stay.... If you want to seriously learn something, no one will guide you at all.

If you do not know how to do something, they will even scold you for not knowing: “Why don’t you know how to do this? You should know how to do it.” The key point is that no one ever guides or teaches you... Speechless...

If you are assigned to Sales Department 3... the manager is seriously problematic. They have driven away many people already, so please think twice!

*Since I am uncertain about the job titles, I will refer to them as the mid-level and senior managers.

The mid-level manager was very friendly and carefully asked about my résumé and situation, but the senior manager was extremely rude. They kept their eyes closed and rubbed their eyes throughout the interview, and never looked directly at the interviewee.

The only time they looked directly at me was when salary came up. I stated that I was asking for 30K, but the senior manager directly said, “Would you be willing to work for 28K?” They did not seem interested in saying or discussing anything further with me.

Working hours may be extended and overtime may be required depending on project schedules, but there does not seem to be any overtime pay or bonus system—only compensatory leave.

Work environment: Because it is a department store environment, the counter must be changed every season or every six months.

Additionally, Guang San is an older department store.

Salary and benefits: Generally, the minimum requirements stipulated by the Labor Standards Act apply. The interview personal information questionnaire asks

how much salary compensation is desired, but there is also an option to follow company regulations. Personally, I negotiated

a starting salary of 30,000, having worked in personal information integration for around three years.

The interview took too much time, and the information-related positions were not clearly differentiated.

Afterward, I had to complete too many irrelevant written tests. In addition, my personal information had to be

filled out all over again, which took even more time.

Because it is a department store service industry, like general sales staff,

everyone must undergo department store etiquette training.
