I work in the Information Department. I’m not sure about the other departments, but our department rarely requires overtime. Our working hours are normal, and there have been no cases of unpaid overtime or denied compensatory leave. Whenever official duties are handled outside regular working hours, compensation is always provided.

The standard statutory benefits are provided. There are also some additional benefits, but not many.

The company is easy to find.

1. The salary is extremely low.

2. There is no overtime pay; it is a fixed-responsibility system.

3. If you take leave, your supervisor will complain at you, and you must remember to make up the leave.

4. Your salary is deducted for being late, while there is no overtime pay.

5. The supervisor is very demanding regarding work-learning efficiency.

6. Basically, there is very little free time; every second is tense.

7. Lunch breaks are often spent working overtime, leaving no time to rest.

Only apply if you think you are sufficiently willing to be exploited ^_^

There is air conditioning.

Applying for a telephone sales position

1. The office does not match the photos on the job bank website; it is an old office, and the work environment appears crowded.

2. You have to fill out a handwritten résumé again before the interview.

3. During the interview, the interviewer had no idea who you were or where you came from, and only began asking questions and getting to know you based on the résumé information you filled out upon entering. Very unprofessional!

4. The salary is very poor.

5. The telephone sales department has only been established for three years. The supervisor claims to have been doing telephone sales their entire life, but even their interview responses made them seem rather foolish. Can you really learn anything from this supervisor? I remain skeptical...

6. The interview was handled by a general administrative staff member, not a professional HR representative.

【Salary Structure—What I Heard】

Base salary: Less than NT$25K (including the most basic labor and health insurance)

Bonus: Up to 1%

During the probationary period: Total monthly pay is within NT$35K; bonuses range from NT$5K to NT$10K.

Sales quota: New employees are required to handle up to NT$1 million (while receiving only a 1% bonus)

【Summary】

The supervisor claimed that senior employees could receive higher bonuses, but was unwilling to disclose the average salary, only mentioning that there are many capable salespeople who can earn NT$40K–50K per month. (Are you kidding me? The TOP Sales at your company can only earn this much per month? You could directly apply to be a real estate agent and get a base salary of NT$50K.... Your company is really generous with its bonuses...

I was ghosted, so I deliberately emailed them on Saturday and Sunday to ask about the interview result, and received a reply outside working hours. It seems the administrative staff are also on a responsibility-based work system without overtime pay~

In the end, I chose a job at another company. The base salary alone is NT$35K, with bonuses calculated separately. It is also a telephone sales position for personal loans, with exactly the same working hours. Regardless of the type of sales, the time and energy you need to invest when starting a job will definitely be greater than in clerical work (if you want to make money quickly), and the psychological demands are also higher than for clerical work (after all, you have to shoulder a sales quota). The base salary will definitely not be the amount you want to earn each month, so it is especially important to look at the average monthly bonuses earned by the sales staff across the entire company. If the company’s sales staff can only earn the same salary as ordinary customer service representatives each month, then why do sales at all?

An office building close to the MRT station, and reasonably clean.

The boss is very stingy and spends every day flooding the group chat with talk about efficiency and other nonsense. During the Level 3 COVID-19 alert, they kept saying that the outbreak in Taipei was not serious, that people should not scare themselves, and that employees should wear their masks properly and return to the office to work (claiming that working from home was inefficient). On May 24, they forcibly canceled working from home.

If you stop to take a sip of water or rest for a moment, you will be “checked on” (to see whether you are slacking off).

The boss uses surveillance cameras to check whether employees are working diligently.

You are required to make up the hours whenever you take leave.

Overtime is the norm; you cannot leave work until your cases are finished.

The job interview and the actual job duties are different.

The working hours and duties agreed upon during the interview will suddenly be changed approximately 7–10 days after you start, when you are told that management wants you to transfer departments. (This is mandatory.)

Then they say that because transferring departments requires adapting to the nature of the department’s work, you must cooperate with shift scheduling.

I directly told them: “I accepted this job because the hours fit my class schedule. We agreed on the duties and hours, so changing them at the last minute is not really okay, and you never asked about my personal preference.”

But they turned around and said, “The e-commerce lending business is inherently very changeable, and the company also has staffing needs. If your mindset is that you only want to sit in one position until the end, then this job may not be suitable for you. You can write your resignation letter today; it’s also fine if you don’t stay until the end.”

After thinking about it, I realized that several women started at the same time as I did, and I also stopped seeing them after just a few days. I do not know whether they really compromised and were transferred or simply resigned.

It feels like this is a habitual tactic: first, they invite job seekers to interview for positions with normal working hours, then, after you start, they use this rotation tactic to pressure you into compromising.

Remember, if the company uses this method to pressure you into compromising once, there will be a second and a third time.

Unless you are fine with shift scheduling from the beginning, you could consider negotiating a higher salary at the initial interview; otherwise, you will feel mistreated doing the job.

Exactly the same things shared by the previous reviewer

I left after just one week

The previous reviewer is practically a veteran!

> Close to the MRT station

> Cheap cafeteria / lots of restaurants

> Met some pretty good colleagues

> Snack cabinet and all-you-can-drink beverages

> Can learn about things from... different fields

>......Can't think of anything else

Here to warn people, but if you can put up with it, then of course none of the following applies

> First of all, there is a gap between the position you applied for and the duties you are expected to perform 🙄

> The boss expects you to learn everything, so that you can fill in when someone takes leave

> The company's entire operating model is problematic, and the department heads do not seem to get along

> The boss likes to listen to gossip from others to determine whether you are working seriously

> The company's requirements for work efficiency are unreasonable. The same standards are applied to departments with completely different types of work, with no flexibility whatsoever

> The boss pretends to know things they do not understand. Even after explaining it to them, I don't know whether they couldn't take it in or simply didn't understand; they even think subordinates are arguing back

> Criticizes your dreams and methods, believing that the company's work and their way of doing things are the most important and correct things in the entire world

> Has no clear direction, so it's easy to do work for nothing. They demand that employees immediately produce whatever comes to mind; halfway through, they change their mind or cancel the whole thing

> You can actually leave work on time, but then you'll be asked why you didn't work overtime, or get sabotaged by another department

> If they don't like you, they'll make things difficult for you in every possible way to force you to resign, and tell other employees, “If you can't cooperate with my ideas, then leave!”

Okay, thank you so much 😊

> When someone really is about to resign, they can't bear to let go of those “obedient and compliant employees whose salaries don't need to be too high”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Less serious issues

> Don't come to work on typhoon days! There's no double pay! Whether you get paid for not coming in depends on the boss's mood~

> No overtime pay even when you work overtime ^^

> Being late means a deduction from your pay. You have to report it, and you'll also be loudly nagged at

> The company computer crashes all the time. Remember to save your files, or you'll cry

> You have to write a work log every day, and it can't be too short or the boss will get upset. Even if you have to make things up, write a lot

> The boss comes to the office to wander around every day, but somehow can't tell whether everyone is working seriously

> You must sit up straight and look energetic, or you'll be in for criticism

Very close to the MRT station

The job bank listing said the regular salary was NT$40,000 or more,

but when I went to the interview, they unexpectedly said that

the usual salary was NT$26,000–28,000,

but they could offer me NT$35,000.

It was simply a scam!

During the interview, they kept criticizing the practices of my former company. May I ask what that has to do with you?

There are no flexible working hours,

and they said it was because it would make management impossible (why exactly would it be impossible to manage?).

The supervisor seems very rigid,

and the job content treats you like a sweatshop laborer.

There is an MRT station nearby, as well as inexpensive self-service buffet restaurants.

This is a company that is constantly busy with pointless work. It operates an e-commerce business through loans, so think carefully before joining. The drawbacks are as follows:

Leaving your workstation for even 5 minutes is considered slacking off.

You are not allowed to eat at work, but this is never stated explicitly—and there is even a snack area. Very contradictory.

The business manager often just talks without taking overall efficiency and benefits into consideration, doing whatever comes to mind.

The boss appears to be approachable, but actually isn't. They say they don't understand, yet frequently interfere.

The company employs the boss's classmates in their 60s as redundant staff. They are unproductive at work and like to sleep, while ordinary employees are simply exploited by comparison. If you want to keep useless people around, please don't place them in important positions.
