Read the community guidelinesThinking it over carefully, the only positive is that the office is new and very clean. That’s all.
During the interview, they made the job sound very appealing, saying it was a position with a lot of vision. I thought I would learn a great deal about braces and related marketing experience. During my first week, I was told to prepare advertising approval applications (because they sell medical-related products, all advertisements must be approved before they can be published). The boss had been in the business for 30 years, yet did not even know how to fill out an advertising approval application. At first, he said it was very simple: just submit a few extra pages to the officer at the Food and Drug Administration and have them delete the unnecessary parts. In reality, there are already relevant laws governing advertising approvals, and the officers have no obligation to help revise the work. The boss’s mindset was basically that I should write exaggerated claims and have someone else revise them.
He constantly used a bunch of nonsensical analogies to describe what he wanted employees to do, treating employees like idiots.
Although the position advertised in the interview was for a marketing employee, the boss did not trust the staff and outsourced all the marketing work. Even putting products online and taking them down was outsourced. The actual work was completely different from the position I had originally applied for. Every day, we entered extremely boring orders into the ERP system. They managed to make even simple purchasing and sales operations unnecessarily complicated—for example, stickers, OPP bags, and ziplock bags also had to be deducted from inventory. Once, three people spent an hour discussing whether the inventory count for a NT$2 cardboard box was correct. The time cost was completely unjustifiable. Simply put, their way of thinking is not very suitable for e-commerce (they originally built their business through television shopping).
I forgot to mention the most important reason people leave: the boss is incredibly emotional. When he is in a good mood, he treats you politely; when he is in a bad mood, he scolds you like a dog. Once, over a few hundred dollars of company petty cash, he loudly berated his own younger sister, saying, “Are you embezzling company funds?!!!!!?????”
There was also another long-time employee who was emotional and had an impolite tone. The way she spoke made you want to hit her. When I first joined, I tried to be friendly and chat with her, but I quickly realized that it was impossible to have a conversation with her, so I gave up. Later, she showed a good attitude only toward selected people. Anyone who had no interests connected to hers would constantly receive eye-rolls, sighs, and similar forms of PUA. To work there, you need to be mentally strong enough to withstand these two ticking time bombs if you want to enjoy each day. By the end, I no longer cared; whenever I saw the veteran employee, I simply ignored her. On the surface, everyone there acts friendly toward you, but in reality, they are all waiting for you to make a mistake so they can wait to see you get chewed out. Once someone is scolded, you can hear keyboard sounds rising and falling one after another. It was probably very lively on LINE. Anyone without family resources should absolutely not join, because you will be treated as useless.
