The salary for sales is about the same as in the industry.

The company forces employees to pay NT$300 per month out of pocket for afternoon tea.

If a company vehicle used for sales is damaged in an accident, even though it is insured, the company will still pressure the employee to pay the entire cost.

The beautiful female boss is extremely sarcastic when she speaks. She often says the company must maximize its profits—in other words, this also means deducting money from employees’ salaries.

Because of the nature of the industry, employees cannot demonstrate their abilities at first, even if they are capable, since they have no industry connections whatsoever.

At that point, anyone in the company can order you around and make you do paperwork with no added value. You cannot resist, otherwise you will receive the “best treatment” [sarcastic].

Because it is impossible to become productive quickly, even if you are capable, before you have had a chance to show it, you will initially be treated like a dog and constantly mocked.

Needless to say, what was said before and after joining the company was completely different: at first they said there would be training; after joining, they said the industry was too complex to teach and that you had to learn on your own. But they provided absolutely no resources or industry contacts, leaving you to study on government websites.

They do not respect employees, assuming from the outset that employees are wage thieves who come to waste time and slack off.

Write your résumé well and interviews will be hassle-free.

At first, the interviewer was ten minutes late. I accepted it. Later, I was hired on the spot, so I thought the company seemed okay.

But the interview went on for too long. When I came out, I saw other interviewees waiting, yet the interviewer hadn’t told me that my time was up.

They kept encouraging me to continue talking. I should have realized then that this was a company that doesn’t respect people.
