You really need to think twice before joining this company~

1. The boss has serious issues~ When you hand something in, the boss will call to ask about it, and then pressure you to promise that you can do it. If you can't deliver, he will call and scold you, saying, “Didn't you promise me? Why haven't you delivered it?”............and many other things.

2. The supervisor is often inconsistent in what they say. One task often has to be done 2–3 times before it's finished.

They really like using certain issues to pressure you~ If a shipment hasn't arrived or goods are damaged, they will ask you to give an explanation.

3. Inventory counts have to be 100% accurate. There can be no discrepancies. If there are, they will make us pay for them.

Even after I resigned, they still asked me to go back and find the discrepancies. When I refused to go back, they said they would send me a lawyer's letter.

I asked the Labor Bureau about it~ They said this matter wasn't my responsibility~ Unless the company can prove otherwise, they can't sue me.

The turnover at this company is very high. The shortest tenure is 3 weeks, and the longest is over 3 years~ This is what I experienced; sharing it for your reference.

None at all

1. The pay raise discussed during the interview never happened / The contract stated that a year-end bonus and bonuses for the three major holidays would be provided, but none were given.

2. Employees are forced to work excessive overtime without overtime pay. The assistant even has to sleep at the company because there is no transportation home.

3. Job responsibilities are vague, and employees are expected to do everything without the company knowing how to show appreciation.

4. The company's work atmosphere is poor. The boss likes to call meetings but never listens to others finish speaking and constantly interrupts.

5. The boss's ideas change frequently, often making people work for nothing.

6. Even after handling all the required external duties, reimbursement for fuel expenses still hasn't been received. It was dragged from last year into this year and still has not been paid.

7. When someone wants to resign, the company deliberately makes things difficult for them. It is absolutely reprehensible.

8. New colleagues are replaced every week; the turnover rate is extremely high.

🌟Anyone considering joining should think twice. However, all the employees who have left this place have already made it through—believe that there will be better opportunities ahead.

There is nothing good about this company; if you do anything, it will only be taken for granted!

None

1. The salary discussed during the interview was supposed to be increased after three months.

Later, they denied saying that, so there was no raise.

2. The 104 job listing stated that there would be bonuses for the three major holidays and a year-end bonus, but in the end, they were not provided.

3. The company asks employees to perform duties outside their responsibilities and does not pay the fees according to regulations.

4. I have never encountered a company that treats its employees so poorly.

5. It is recommended to choose a better company when interviewing.

About a 5-minute walk from the MRT station. The building and office are clean and stylish.

The office often even smells lovely~~ I really like it!

The restroom environment, which I care about most, is also very clean; there’s never a situation where I don’t feel comfortable using it~

My colleagues are easy to get along with and have a strong team spirit of mutual support.

I really like the displays in the meeting rooms. They look a bit like a museum of beauty and skincare products~

Sometimes, products are also available for trial use, so you can not only better understand how they work, but, if you’re lucky, you might even find your own holy grail product XDDDDD

There are still some open positions, and I hope they can be filled soon so that we can become a more complete team!

I’m really looking forward to everyone joining~~

The review published four years ago reflected the reviewer’s personal opinion and was ultimately a personal matter. In the nearly six months since I joined the company, I haven’t noticed any of the shortcomings mentioned in those negative reviews.

In my opinion, the company environment, management leadership, and relationships among colleagues are already above average!

Overall, the company has been operating for more than 20 years, and everything is no different from ordinary businesses out there. So please don’t let the negative reviews influence you—just sharing this with everyone!

Every company has its own culture...

At first, I came for the interview because I had already looked up information about this company on this website, so I came in with the mindset of “I’ll hear them out first—there’s no harm in giving it a try.”

The interview was more relaxed than I expected. I didn’t have to give that formulaic, somewhat boring self-introduction, and the questions were all quite logical, which made me feel very comfortable.

Also, the display cabinets at the interview location were really eye-catching. You could tell at a glance that this is a company with high standards for quality and aesthetics.

The interviewing manager also clearly shared the company’s culture and background, which helped me quickly understand the company’s overall direction and philosophy.

When I was about to leave at the end, I happened to hear the employees inside discussing something. The atmosphere really felt harmonious and energetic.

At that moment, I thought to myself: “Why is it so different from the reviews online?”

Later, I found out that the manager had already been replaced!

So I happily went home to wait for the notice~~

Of course, at the time I was still a little concerned about the parts of the reviews that mentioned the owner, so I joined the company with the mindset of “giving it a try.”

But after actually working here, I feel that the owner is much better than any boss I’ve encountered before. They are the kind of person who listens to employees. Even if they sometimes have certain preferences, if a colleague or the general manager suggests a more reasonable approach, the owner is willing to accept it.

You can really feel that the current general manager and owner are working hard to improve the problems of the past, and that they genuinely care about everyone’s feelings.

The warehouse staff have also all been replaced with a new group of people. They’re all enthusiastic and hardworking coworkers—and they can cook incredibly well!

Sometimes at lunchtime they share the lunch boxes or snacks they’ve made themselves. Seriously, someone please have them start a side business right here, right now!!!!

Also, there are a lot of women at the company. As someone who attended a girls’ school, I feel especially comfortable working here. I really love this kind of environment!

I’m currently studying in an evening program, and sometimes the stress of midterms and finals makes my skin condition worse. The general manager even takes the initiative to check in on me and recommend which company products might help my skin. The company also provides samples for us to try from time to time. It’s really thoughtful~

Oh, and the company also has an ultra-luxurious snack cabinet. Make a wish, and what you want to eat will appear the next month. It’s so awesome derrrrrrrrr!!!!!

The corporate-lawyer uncle is super cute!! Sometimes he even brings fruit and delicious treats to share with us (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)

The company has recently been actively recruiting new talent, but many people may be hesitant to apply because they have seen the old reviews.

I used to work in traditional manufacturing, and I can honestly say that I was lucky to escape and make it into this company.

Do your part well, and you’ll be as happy as a celestial being (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)

I also get off work on time every day—so comfortable and relaxed.

I swear, this place is really great (although you can’t see me raising my hand right now, once you come work here, I can swear it to you in person XDDDD)

I really, really, really hope you’ll come. Please hurry up and become my coworker, okay? QAQ

The downside is that you should come be my coworker > <

Everyone is too afraid to come because of the old reviews.

That’s why those of us who are happily working here feel we have to come out and set the record straight.

My heart is hurting so much QQ

I wish I had a whole crowd of coworkers to eat lunch and drink milk tea with (╥﹏╥)

I’m really looking forward to having a whole crowd of coworkers who can work hard and take breaks seriously with me இдஇ

I’d like to share a bit about my interview experience.

During the interview, I filled out some information (which I assume is normal). The manager who interviewed me was friendly and patient, and was willing to listen to me talk about my past experience and thoughts about work. I felt that they really respected interviewees!

I joined at the beginning of this year, and so far, my impressions are:

1. Although the company doesn’t have many employees, my colleagues are very friendly, and everyone helps one another when there are problems. It’s a place with a great working atmosphere!

2. The company’s snack cabinet is regularly restocked, so when you’re tired from work, you can freely replenish your energy. (You can save quite a bit of your own money on snacks~)

3. Although the work content can sometimes be miscellaneous, everyone helps one another. There isn’t a cold, bullying workplace environment, which is something I really appreciate!

4. The office is new, so you don’t see cockroaches, ants, or other little insects, and the restroom is very clean! (I’m very afraid of dirty restrooms in old buildings, so this is something I really like.)

5. It’s very close to the MRT, so the commute is simple. (Some colleagues ride scooters, and it’s also easy to park scooters nearby.)

1. I heard from some senior colleagues that because the company moved from Taipei City to Tucheng District last year, some original employees resigned because the distance was too far.

It feels like there are relatively few employees at the moment, so sometimes people’s work overlaps!

Hopefully the company can gradually fill out its staffing.

1. Colleagues other than the supervisor are friendly.

2. In Year 110 [2021], the company was fined for overtime pay violations. Overtime is compensated with time off in lieu in accordance with the law. Search system for business entities (employers) penalized for violating labor laws and regulations: https://announcement.mol.gov.tw/

1. No year-end bonus.

2. The air conditioning in the office is not cool enough.

3. High turnover; the average tenure is less than one year, especially for positions closer to senior management.

4. Typhoons are treated as unpaid leave.

None

Chaotic

Extremely chaotic

Don’t come here to work in warehouse management unless you have nothing better to do

I sincerely have to say that no company is perfect. Otherwise, why don’t you start your own company and make it a happy workplace? Do you think big companies are great? Setting office politics aside, managers can be moody and unpredictable, and throwing documents is a common occurrence. I’ve also encountered a well-known agency where the boss especially liked asking managers to go to his home and keep him company over tea on weekends and holidays. All I can say is, there are all kinds of bosses. To the person who commented below, complaining about issues at the company: as I recall, you took leave like crazy during your very first week at the company, and took leave every week afterward. Were you performing your job adequately? Why don’t you talk about your own work performance? As for the other person complaining that the boss scolds people: if an employee keeps making the same mistakes, who wouldn’t lose patience? You haven’t even encountered a boss who curses yet. There are simply too many “peach clan” workers these days—people who never first examine their own work attitude and only blindly criticize others. No wonder you can only ever work as a basic assistant.

The workplace naturally has both good and bad aspects. Don’t keep trashing others just because you yourselves were unhappy at work. I’m only speaking up for fairness. If you want to argue, search your conscience and show a good work attitude. Wherever you work, you won’t be treated unfairly.

Too many clueless people come and go.

No

The staff is unstable, most employees have very little seniority, and the turnover rate is high. The job posting on 104 stated that group insurance was provided, but it turned out not to be.

The job responsibilities discussed during the interview did not match the contents of the documents signed upon reporting for work (many duties that were not mentioned during the interview were added).

The Hong Kong boss scolds people as if they were children and has no patience to listen to others finish speaking.

In short, if you see that something is wrong, run—quickly.

Suitable for people who, whenever something happens, can only say “I’m not clear,” “I don’t understand,” or “I don’t know” to come work here.

Or, if you’re the type who can only raise your voice whenever something happens, this is also a very suitable place for you to work.

It would be one thing if the company were merely trying to save money, but it even cuts costs by skipping regular disinfection. From time to time, you’ll get bitten by fleas, and cockroaches appearing almost once every two days is considered completely normal.

This company is a family business. The managers in Taiwan are relatives of the Hong Kong owner (one man and one woman; they are not a couple, but either cousins or first cousins). They are quite old, and their thinking is already out of step with modern times. During the initial interview, they use misleading wording to make you think you’ll only be doing one particular role. Once you join, they make full use of you. During my two months there, four people left in total, but replacements are never hired at a corresponding pace; sometimes no one is hired at all. The remaining employees are constantly forced to take on more work. On top of your original duties, you also have to take over the work of people who have left—and there is no end to it.

I tried communicating with them many times because I was unable to handle the excessive workload of unfamiliar tasks being added before I had adapted, but the managers only said that no employee could refuse work assigned by the company. They had no intention of communicating or solving the problem at all.

Whenever an employee leaves, they have that person hand over their work to the remaining employees on the last day, during the final few hours. It is completely overwhelming to absorb the responsibilities of another position in just the last two or three hours. If you raise concerns afterward, the managers will only assume that you do not want to do the work. They also pretend not to understand and keep forcing you to do it. This company is very good at dumping work on people, but will not teach you or solve problems. Whenever you report anything to the managers, they do not understand and only create more problems.

The managers also sow discord among coworkers. They often say that a coworker complained that you did this or that, when in fact it is what the manager herself thinks. Even if you miss a call because you went to the restroom, the manager will say that a coworker complained about how you are often away from your desk and miss calls, causing her to have to answer them because of the coworker’s complaint, and so on… Since she does not want to help, she shifts the blame onto the coworkers and sows discord.

The managers in Taiwan have no real authority; everything has to be checked with the Hong Kong owner. Having no real authority would not be a problem, but they love to interfere while refusing to listen to other people’s suggestions, making the system increasingly chaotic. They want to know about everything but only understand things superficially, and they often meddle and make matters worse. Afterwards, they shift the blame to others and lie to the Hong Kong owner, saying that other employees made the decisions themselves without discussing them with management.

The managers in Taiwan are extremely skilled at using misleading wording and saying whatever they want. To put it nicely, it is “spin”; to put it bluntly, they lie to deceive people. So please think carefully before joining!

This office has no employee dining area. There is a large conference room, but the managers in Taiwan decided that employees are not allowed to eat lunch there during their break. However, the Hong Kong owner drinks coffee in the conference room (the Hong Kong owner is the type of person who can get by on coffee alone while working). It is hard to understand why employees cannot eat in the conference room. This is the first company I have encountered where employees are not allowed to eat in the conference room; I simply want to point out that this company does not provide a proper environment for employees to rest.

When you first join, you will also sign a three-month “probationary period” contract. “Probationary periods” in Taiwan are no longer compliant with the Labor Standards Act, so please think carefully! Also, pay attention to the job description written by management. If anything is unreasonable, refuse it, and rely on what is written in black and white. One of the managers loves using misleading wording to deceive people: they make it sound good, but the written contract contains clauses that disadvantage employees. Be extremely careful!

Also, do not think that you will avoid being given extra work simply by doing your own job well, or that you will not be given extra work because the position you applied for is already busy. As long as you are a person working at this company, you will be randomly assigned new work. If they do not teach you, they will simply force it on you. The managers’ attitude is basically: “If I force this on you and something goes wrong, that’s your problem!” They are simply looking for a scapegoat～

After ringing the doorbell and entering, I was left waiting at the entrance for a while. Then, in a fluster, the receptionist led me into an office to take a test.

The interviewer was a Senior Designer, yet I was given a sales test to complete. (When I raised the question, HR said it was only for reference.)

After I completed the test, HR conducted the first interview, followed by another interview with a so-called Marketing Manager.

As usual, we went through self-introductions, work experience, portfolio presentation, reasons for leaving my previous job, and so on.

After the interviewer gave an overview, I asked to understand the things that had not been explained, such as the organizational structure, how the company would operate in the future, and its expectations.

The Marketing Manager only said that he had full control over marketing, but seemed unable to provide clear answers to my questions one by one, responding only through superficial emotional resonance.

When we finally discussed salary, I already understood that a small company could not be compared with a large one.

Taking into consideration a figure reduced by 20% based on the company’s size, this Marketing Manager directly said that they could not offer such a salary.

I then asked the other party to disclose the salary range the company could accept.

This exchange went back and forth for a while.

Finally, the Marketing Manager said that he could not make the decision regarding salary, that he would ask the boss, and asked me to wait in the conference room.

After waiting for 20 minutes, the receptionist came in and stammeringly asked me to leave.

I asked the receptionist what the Marketing Manager had meant by saying he was going to discuss the matter with the boss.

The receptionist vaguely said that the boss was not there, and neither was the Marketing Manager.

I asked, “Then does this mean the interview is over?”

The receptionist replied, “Yes~ We’ll notify you next week, the week after next, or next month.”

By this point, I already felt that a great deal of my time had been wasted.

I also did not think I would receive any kind of answer.

I took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the building, only to see the Marketing Manager—who had just said he was going to ask the boss for approval—smoking by the roadside~~~~~

A really terrible interview experience

None

Interviewed for the Marketing Manager position

1. Background: My background was not related to the industry or position. I thought there was no chance I would be invited to an interview, but I applied anyway.

2. I received a call from HR to schedule an interview. At first, I did not know she was HR. After scheduling the interview by phone, I received an interview invitation email from her. The email stated that she was an Operations Manager. After reading it, I initially felt quite positive, thinking that a senior, capable, and experienced person was willing to recognize my potential and give me an opportunity.

- During the first interview with HR, she chatted casually and randomly. It was only later, during the interview with the supervisor, that I learned she was HR and also handled administrative duties. I do not understand why the email said she was an Operations Manager.

- The second interview was with the supervisor, the Sales & Operations Director. The marketing position was managed under Sales and Operations, which is unreasonable. If you are an experienced candidate applying for this position, you will not be able to make full use of your abilities here.

--- Marketing drives sales.

-- Common sense: Marketing and Sales are parallel departments.

3. The Director had limited marketing knowledge and was unable to manage marketing. Furthermore, marketing should not be managed by Sales in the first place, regardless of whether the person has marketing knowledge and experience.

4. Although 104 stated that the position did not require management responsibilities, this was also why I applied even though the title said “Manager.”

I kept wondering how I could be fortunate enough to interview for such a position.

During the salary discussion:

- I was initially at a loss and wanted to ask HR (I did not know she was HR during the interview) about the salary range. She refused to provide it and asked me to state my expected salary anyway.

I provided an expected salary range based on the requirements of the position, adjusted downward somewhat according to my experience and abilities.

- The Director said that no other company would possibly offer me the range I requested (no, you are wrong—it was impossible for me to get an interview opportunity),

and I agreed.

But he offered me a salary of NT$35,000.

One person responsible for all nine brands, for NT$35,000.

NT$35,000 is an entry-level salary, isn’t it? Given Taiwan’s current cost of living, even entry-level employees earning NT$35,000 are underpaid.

When hiring a manager, would you really bring in an inexperienced newcomer to do the job?

- I was affected by this at the time. Although I replied that it was impossible for anyone to take care of nine brands for NT$35,000 and that no one would want to do it,

I still lowered my expected salary afterward. Thinking about it later, I realized that this really was not right.

- Salary range for a Brand Marketing Manager: NT$60,000–100,000 or more

----> Unless it is a niche brand in the natural or organic products sector that is just starting out

----> Even if a company is just starting out, some companies should still offer a higher salary to recruit the right person in order to do marketing well

5. I originally hesitated about whether to write this.

The day before the interview, I did not have enough points to view salary comparisons, so I did not see the salary-review comments and went to the interview anyway.

After the interview, I forced myself to write a review and then read the salary comments. I really regretted going. I recommend that those who have enough points read them before deciding whether to attend an interview.

If you do not have enough points, for safety’s sake, it is probably better not to go to the interview.
