They will ask you to reply to messages on holidays. At first, they’ll tell you that you don’t need to keep an eye on things 24 hours a day and that you can reply when you see the messages. But later, as long as they see that you reply more slowly than they do on holidays, they’ll complain and give you a hard time. Naturally, there is no overtime pay. The company phone has very little data, so you basically have to use your home internet.
The boss is always fond of making a fuss over trivial details and also shows some gender stereotypes.
As mentioned below, when you submit your resignation, the boss’s wife will suddenly act irrationally and find reasons to berate you.
The warehouse is very small, and every so often you have to move things around in the warehouse, repeatedly relocating them like you did during military service. Regardless of the position you applied for, if you are a man, you will have to move things (put nicely, it’s called helping each other).
Also, regardless of the position you apply for, you may end up doing customer service and sales (whether you applied for purchasing or graphic design). They will ask you to manage the online platforms, while posting openings online for two positions: online marketing planner and sales representative. Don’t be mistaken—they are all the same sales + customer service role.
The couple are considered honest businesspeople.
But small companies inevitably have the drawbacks and unreasonable practices typical of small companies. The female owner tends to project her own pettiness onto others, viewing people who mean no harm as having malicious intent. Before leaving, I was inexplicably given a scolding. All these trivial matters make it truly difficult to retain talent and win people’s loyalty, so the high turnover rate can only continue.
I don't know
I'm not sure why, but when they called (it seemed to be the boss), it made me not really want to go.
It felt very rushed, and then they immediately asked where I lived (it felt like my personal background was being investigated before even having a first interview).
So I looked up the reviews online, and it seemed like they really weren't that great?
Thanks for the suggestions from the third and fourth floors.
I’ve only been with the company for three months,
while most of my colleagues have been employees for four or five years.
The job is stressful,
and I’m still adjusting.
The company has a lot of merchandise but limited space,
so it’s very crowded.
However, it’s very clean!
More than ten electric fans keep the aisles ventilated at all times.
We always leave work on time, the boss respects the employees, and the company feels like a small family. Everyone helps one another, and we discuss problems together! Since it is an e-commerce company, everyone is very busy, but I also learned a lot! In the end, I had to leave reluctantly for family reasons. I hope that if I have the opportunity to come to Taipei in the future, I will have the chance to work for this company again!
The company is fairly cramped because business is good, so there is a lot of product inventory stored there! Shipments are going out all the time!
Honestly, there really aren't any...
1. I had no previous experience working in e-commerce and wasn't someone who frequently shopped online. From my very first and second days, they kept rushing me to learn everything immediately, throwing me into the deep end without any time to catch my breath. Here, one person basically has to manage several online platforms. If you work even a little slowly, the boss's wife will keep urging you on.
2. The boss is a clean freak and also really hates the smell of cigarettes. When using the restroom, you're expected to leave it clean and not make a mess.
3. The coworkers aren't bad people; it's just that they're all so busy they have no time to pay attention to you.
4. Working there is like working in a warehouse: the space is cramped, and goods are constantly being moved in and out around you.
5. I originally applied for a purchasing position, but it turned into a sales position.
None
1. You can look around online at the work environment yourself; personally, I think it is a studio like a warehouse (the lighting and ventilation are not particularly good).
2. During the interview, they say that everyone helps and looks out for one another at work, but in practice this means doing tasks unrelated to the nature of your position.
3. If you are someone who plans your schedule at work, I suggest going elsewhere; the boss's wife is extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely impatient = =
4. A mobile phone will be provided, and you will be required to spend time handling work matters on Saturdays and Sundays as well (I was not told this during my interview; I don't know about other interviewees).
5. They advocate leaving work on time, so there will be no overtime issue (meaning that even if you do work overtime, there is no overtime pay).
Leave work on time
If you apply for the graphic design position, only about half of the work will actually be graphic design; you will be asked to do other tasks as well. The boss is very particular, and part-time employees must arrive 15 minutes early. Not suitable for smokers, as the boss is allergic to cigarette smoke. The office has rather poor ventilation.
