Read the community guidelinesApart from having normal working hours, you’ll have to figure out the rest for yourself.
You still have to be assigned duty shifts on holidays, even though the tasks are not part of your actual job. You end up handling the owner’s personal errands. If you don’t take a shift, you’ll still be scolded. During a duty shift, you have to remain at the duty station and cannot wander off until the end of the workday. Promises of salary adjustments are just talk, as they are all suppressed by supervisors. The company has hardly any policies or procedures; everything is decided by the supervisors. Meetings are merely a formality, and the bonus system is also based on personal preferences. Access in and out is strictly controlled. At the year-end banquet, everyone has to help organize, clean, and tidy up before being allowed to leave.
It is simply a family business. The people who took over are unprofessional and come and go as they please. The supervisors are all relatives or connected through family ties. If you want a promotion, you have to be good at flattering people; otherwise, you will just be suppressed. There is little structure in management, and policies change depending on the person. It is not recommended for people without relevant connections to join the company.
The interview was terrible.
The HR person stammered when speaking.
The general manager will chew you out.
The website advertised a sales assistant position.
At the on-site interview, they said the position was actually for a salesperson: you would start as a sales assistant, then switch to sales after three months. You’re expected to understand both sales assistance and sales, and you also have to have your own car and be able to drive. Wow, what a multifunctional role.
The general manager will also come in and chew you out, saying that if you want higher pay, you have to work in sales, and that driving to visit clients is basic for salespeople. If I can’t do that, is it my problem?
Oh, let me ask you this: Did I apply for a sales position? I applied for a sales assistant position! It’s simply ridiculous! They’ll also say that a sales assistant’s salary can only be this much! I guess they don’t dare write it on the posting because the company is so remote that no one wants to apply!
The job posting said nothing about any of this! It only said they were hiring a sales assistant! It didn’t say the position would be changed to sales! You have to know how to drive! You have to go out and visit clients! What a joke.
