This page collects workplace experiences, questions and discussions submitted by users. Dates shown are submission dates, not periods of employment. Individual reports do not describe the entire company.
Read the community guidelines1. A job with mid-shift hours and a later start time, which is great for night owls who love sleeping in in the morning.
2. The working hours are slightly shorter than those of ordinary office workers.
3. If you like stationery, you can handle it all day long.
4. Although it leans more toward curated lifestyle goods and independent stationery stores, just like a regular chain stationery store, you can learn a lot about wholesale and the processes for receiving and shipping goods.
1. Because it is a mid-shift position, you start work later but also finish later. The real drawback is that if you have to stay late because your work is unfinished or there are customers in the store, no matter the reason or how long you stay, it does not count as overtime, because the company's working hours are already shorter than other people's—so says the supervisor.
2. Because the working hours are short, there are only six days off per month. However, days off cannot really be scheduled with individual circumstances as the priority; the supervisor schedules them however they want. If you need time off for something important, well, you just have to use your leave.
3. Employees do not receive an employee discount, and the store may not even provide samples for in-store use. It is only natural to buy things you personally like yourself, but when there are no samples in the store and you need to make a sample display or take photos for a post, what are you supposed to do?
4. It is true that you are monitored at all times, and the strange ways of giving directions are also real.
5. The salary range listed in the job posting is very high, but at the interview they said everyone had to make sacrifices and offered only the minimum wage. They said it was difficult to find people, and that even after searching for a long time, they still could not find someone who met their ideals. Personally, I find those ideals difficult to understand.
6. There are also strange low-wage rules for the probationary period; if you do not insist on it yourself, you may not even receive labor and health insurance.
7. The supervisor's moods are unpredictable and they can be somewhat neurotic. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but the extreme lack of trust and tendency to casually suspect and blame employees is, well, not so good.
8. The supervisor constantly praises certain employees as being excellent in order to put you down, but you also often hear that same employee being scolded by the supervisor. Employees whose abilities are more average or who do not fit the supervisor's ideals are constantly scrutinized and criticized for no reason, and the supervisor tells other employees how incompetent that staff member is.
9. If the Bluetooth speaker cannot connect, blame the new employee; if the old laptop cannot connect to Wi-Fi, blame the new employee; if the internet goes down and cannot connect, blame the new employee.
The reason I gave an average rating is that, setting aside the minor emotional issues between people, it really is still quite a good place.
If you like stationery, you get to handle stationery every day, and when there are discounts, you can also reserve products you like in advance.
1. The owner is constantly watching the surveillance cameras and still tries to direct things even when everyone is very busy.
2. During the interview, the position was presented as full-time. Later, during the three-month probationary period, I was paid as an hourly part-time worker, and by the final month I was scheduled to work only seven days.
3. The owner is fine with anything when it comes to people she likes, but can find fault with everything when it comes to people she is not very satisfied with.
