The company is located in a remote area, and the workplace is in a residential building. It is also not very spacious or clean. The job posting said that a relevant major was required, but the work is actually just an operator's job. When you ask the boss questions related to the company, they even say, “You don’t need to know that. This has nothing to do with you, does it?”

1. Only two or three days after joining the company, you are expected to work at production speed. If you are too slow, you will be closely watched.
2. Even when you arrive during working hours, you may be verbally scolded for no reason, with people saying that new employees should arrive early. But they should at least tell you in advance.
3. The harvesting work is complicated. You spend the entire day cutting vegetables and herbs. People who are not skilled should not try it; if you cut them poorly, you will be reprimanded and called over for a review.
4. Before getting off work, you have to tidy up the environment, wash seedling trays, and do other physically demanding tasks.
5. Overall, relationships among coworkers are poor, so this is not a suitable place to stay long-term.

The job description sounds very appealing, but the reality is vastly different once you actually start. Every morning begins with manual labor, such as moving soil or scrubbing a pile of dishes, followed by harvesting plants continuously until the end of the workday. The harvesting is timed, and you are required to meet a certain quota. If you consistently fail to reach it, you will feel pressure from the owner’s wife, and if you cannot improve, you may be asked to leave. In order to meet the quota every day, you are hardly free for even a moment except when eating, drinking water, or using the restroom. Every day feels like repetitive assembly-line work, harvesting plants over and over. The most criticized aspect is that you have to record how much time you spend on every single task each day. Naturally, if you are too slow, you will be reminded. The owner’s wife is extremely meticulous about calculating employees’ work efficiency. This job is acceptable as a part-time position, but as a full-time job, it offers little in the way of prospects.
