Read the community guidelinesOh! Is this one of the little perks of the interview? There was a cup of water to drink.
1. I went to interview twice at their Zhongke logistics office in March. I had never worked in the contracting industry; I only applied because I saw that their office was in Zhongke and not far from home.
2. I asked my international trade teacher and learned that they are an unsuitable small contractor, so I went to the interview. If you can accept the parts of their practices that do not comply with the Labor Standards Act, please consider carefully before deciding. (For example: regular holidays are treated as responsibility-based workdays, with no overtime pay; the Zhongke office has only one assistant; during the one-and-a-half-hour lunch break, you must remain in the office on standby; no meals are provided; after work, you must still answer calls at any time, with no phone allowance or company phone. A company with such high demands only offers a low salary in the 20,000-plus range. However, even for an assistant position, you have to pass three rounds. If you pass the first two rounds, they will pay your high-speed rail fare and have you go to the headquarters in Neihu, Taipei, for an interview with the chairperson. (Because assistants in Zhongke cannot stay long, the female chairperson has to conduct the interview herself. It is made to look like you are applying for a managerial position, when in fact it is only a minor assistant position. Personally, I feel that the female vice president is very “picky” about candidates and is not very nice, though it is hard to say that too directly.)
3. The office is very small, less than 10 ping, and the air conditioning was not on, so it was very stuffy. The first interview was with a male deputy manager there and lasted about 30 minutes. He generally explained the job duties, working hours, basic benefits, and so on. You then have to go through a second interview with a female vice president from Hsinchu Science Park. (During his conversation, he kept mentioning that this female vice president has a “very impatient personality.”)
4. In the second interview, I met this very impatient female vice president, who was about 50 years old. She said herself that she was single; later I will note why I emphasize that she is single.
She talked nonstop. Since she had come all the way from Hsinchu Science Park to Taichung, I suppose she had to keep the conversation going. Forgive her. She talked for two and a half hours, while the male deputy manager and I served as the audience and could barely get a word in. She was very forceful and strongly took control; you could only be an obedient, opinionless little lamb around her. From those two hours, I figured out why their assistants only work for a few months. You have to handle things internally and externally and respond whenever the Hsinchu Science Park female supervisor assigns work: everything must be done immediately, immediately, immediately. For the first few months, new hires have to travel between Hsinchu Science Park and Taichung every day to learn from their two unbeatable assistant experts—SOPs, ERP operations, and so on. After hearing this, I completely lost interest.
4. That said, they are a legal company. But just the things I mentioned above already completely fail to comply with the law.
Think it over carefully.
Are the company colleagues easy to get along with?
They violate the Labor Standards Act~ After starting work, working more than... one week... no labor or health insurance!!!! Working overtime every day.. and then no overtime pay! You may also have to work on Saturdays and Sundays~ also without overtime pay!! Too outrageous
