The environment is messy, with goods piled up in all sorts of corners, and the lighting feels rather dim overall.
During the interview, the boss was very disrespectful and would interrupt arbitrarily to express his own opinions. He made various disparaging comments, saying that my abilities were insufficient and that I could perform better, then saying that it was okay and that I should learn more from him, and so on. There was also an excessively intrusive investigation into my personal background that felt a lot like an attempt to obtain personal information, which made me extremely uncomfortable. The interview took place in a cramped partition surrounded by piles of miscellaneous items and goods, using a tiny table and stool, and the whole experience felt extremely strange (the door was not closed; otherwise, I really would have wanted to run away).
They were very polite when contacting me by phone before I arrived.
Parking nearby is extremely difficult.
The office environment is dirty, messy, noisy, and smells of cigarette smoke.
The job duties are complicated and miscellaneous—you have to do everything, like a general helper.
The position combines administrative assistance with internal sales support, handling orders from start to finish: picking the goods yourself and calling the shipping company to collect them. (This does not apply to the 11 sales representatives in Taipei City and 4 in New Taipei City, whose work is only half of the full process.)
There is no fixed break time. You have to choose a time to eat when things are not busy yourself (the meal break is still one hour).
The salary listed on 104 was NT$34,000. When I went for the interview and reached the second round, the supervisor said the starting salary was NT$24,000 plus NT$2,000 perfect-attendance bonus and half an hour of overtime pay, because people who work slowly on the daily closing tasks would generally leave about half an hour late.
The average hourly wage is even lower than that of a part-time worker…
Starting at minimum wage, this position is only suitable for hiring inexperienced graduates and teaching them slowly, step by step.
They should not have advertised NT$34,000 and tricked people with work experience into coming for an interview, only to offer NT$24,000… They really have some nerve saying that.
