The boss swears loudly at the company. The actual job responsibilities are completely different from what was described in the interview. If you take sick leave in accordance with the rules, they deduct all your pay and then claim they didn’t know it should be half pay. The boss also seems to have been imprisoned before. It’s remarkable that this company has managed to last until now.

Applied for an accounting position on a job website the day before, and they called the next day to notify me of an interview. After setting a time, I waited at their company for nearly 30 minutes, only for the boss to ask directly, “Are you here to apply for the driver position?” I said I was there to apply for the accounting position, and the boss then said they weren’t hiring for accounting anymore.
This is so damn frustrating. My time isn’t worthless. If they weren’t hiring, why the hell did they call me? I originally thought I’d go and see what it was like, but if I’d known, I would’ve just trusted the other reviews and not gone at all.
NO
Only worked there for a few days, and was unhappy every day. The company had no structure whatsoever and was a complete mess. There was no lunch break either; at noon, I could only go across the street to 7-Eleven and eat by myself. When applying for the accounting position, I was told the hours were 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., but every time I arrived at 10, the doors still weren’t open, so I clocked in after 10. To make up the hours, I had to stay past 7. They said they were going to move to Wuri, but that never happened. Luckily, I resigned after only a few days. The job listing on 1111 said the salary started at 40,000, but the actual salary during the first three-month probation period was 37,000, plus a 3,000 perfect-attendance bonus that was basically impossible to get. There were only four days off per month, no annual leave or overtime pay, and the boss said it was all included in the salary. This violates the Labor Standards Act!

I applied for a warehouse management position. The salary listed on the job bank was clearly NT$40,000, but when I went to the interview, the boss offered a base salary of only NT$20,000. This makes no sense—isn't the minimum wage NT$23,100 as of 2019? Then they add things like meal allowances or perfect-attendance bonuses to bring the salary up to NT$30,000, but it's still only NT$30,000.
So I asked, “Didn't the salary on the job bank say NT$40,000?” The boss actually said that amount is only available for working 11 hours, and that the salary would be adjusted to NT$40,000 only after three months. So for normal working hours, it's only NT$30,000, and for the first three months of working 11 hours, it's only NT$36,000.
But here's the funny part: hasn't the Labor Standards Act eliminated the concept of a probationary period long ago? A company can blatantly deceive job seekers on a job bank and waste their time like this without facing any legal punishment. Taiwan is really lenient toward employers like this.

For delivery drivers, as the previous reviewer mentioned, the base salary is 15,000. You have to risk your life to compete for speed and earn commissions. If you succeed, you earn 20; if you don't, you have to compensate the company for the vehicle and the fines. For delivery drivers, they hire you as if the salary were 22K.
The driver will chat with you about life.
1. The working hours are too long, with obvious overwork.
2. Employees are criticized even for drinking water; only bottled water is allowed, but it often runs out without being replenished.
3. The accounting error rate is high, causing trouble for order pickers.
4. The turnover rate is frighteningly high. The moving helpers are often the boss’s son’s friends, helping out occasionally,
and the son even has to privately provide them with a little red-envelope money to make up for the boss’s unfair treatment of employees.

The young women dress pleasingly.
The boss will stand you up; even after making arrangements, there is no contact. Tianyancha also shows two violations of the Labor Standards Act.
The main job listing said the factory would be relocated to Dali, but at the interview they changed their story and said Wuri instead. They are simply playing with the people who apply.
I hope anyone who sees this review will not waste their time going to the interview. The boss has no integrity at all.
