1. The warehouse clerk’s salary is just a little higher than the minimum wage under the Labor Standards Act. The base salary is 31,000, excluding anything else—is that really an advantage?!

2. Perfect-attendance bonus, year-end bonus, Labor Day bonus, lunch provided, and company uniforms.

3. They initially said there was air conditioning, but I only found out after I went there that it was available only in the office; there was none in the warehouse.

1. The interviewer wasn’t very clear about the responsibilities of the position being applied for and would even forget the company’s benefits and compensation details. Pretty strange...

2. You may need to move items weighing more than 20 kilograms (I also didn’t find out I’d have to move things that heavy until my first day). According to the supervisor, it was a one-person operation! It doesn’t seem like a company that values teamwork.

3. As for the probationary-period contract, all benefits are available only after passing the probationary period. If the company decides you aren’t suitable and fires you, it also won’t pay severance. When I raised this concern, HR just smiled and said that our contract was only something written on paper, and that if they actually terminated someone, they would follow the regulations. I don’t know whether “the regulations” here means the Labor Standards Act or the contract we signed. They’re just playing word games. It feels like signing a seemingly unequal contract at this kind of company would make any future disputes very troublesome.

4. I was hired on the spot during the interview. On my first day, I was asked to sign a probationary-period contract and a consent form for rotation between departments. After reading them, I wanted to leave immediately, but HR acted as if they desperately needed to fill a quota and tried hard to persuade me to stay. They even went to get the warehouse supervisor to have a detailed talk with me. They were so short-staffed that I found their behavior somewhat ridiculous. It’s also a family business. Traditional industry + family business—let’s just say, choose carefully!

Some colleagues are pleasant to work with.

A very traditional and conservative small family business. The compensation (2XK) and benefits (everything is strictly limited) are also extremely conservative. There is no possibility of a raise or promotion. The boss always says the company is not making money, but everyone can see that the company’s orders keep increasing... even with all the overtime being worked... Working here will make you question your own value.

Stable

Small family business, long working hours, extremely low pay, no bonuses whatsoever, and the raises are clearly just empty promises

You can learn things from customers

A salary in the low twenty-thousands, mountains of work, a boss who advocates high-pressure management, and a raise carrot you’ll never get to eat

Don’t come. You’ll only learn all kinds of outdated, out-of-touch ideas. To old-timers in traditional industries, being young is a crime anyway

If you don't care about a fixed salary of 23K, working hard without receiving any bonuses, frequently putting in over 100 hours of overtime per month, and having a boss who is extremely difficult to deal with... then this job is quite challenging.

Position: Sales

1. Low salary: Starting at 23K, with a +1K increase after three months (which took five months to receive), a 1K perfect-attendance bonus, no other bonuses, and red envelopes for the three traditional holidays and year-end bonus.

2. Frequent overtime: Normally working until at least 9 p.m., and often being called in on weekends to help out, usually acting as a production worker to help with assembly or packing.

3. Wide-ranging duties: Handling both domestic and international sales, preparing all kinds of presentations, and even designing the company website and catalogs. Sometimes you also have to help look after the company's machinery.

4. The boss's babysitter: When the boss is bored, you have to chat with him while working (constantly flattering him), serve tea and coffee, sweep and mop the floors, help with worship rituals, act as his driver when going out, and let him criticize what is bad here and there in front of customers, all to maintain the boss's sense of superiority.

5. The boss has no credibility: He has never followed through on anything he has said. His classic lines include:

*No, that's what I promised you the month before last.

*It's perfectly normal not to be able to do something I promised. You need to get used to it.

*Didn't I tell you? That was because... Oh, you don't understand. What do young people know?

6. Bizarre system: You have to fill out tables recording "what you were doing from what time to what time"; the boss carefully reviews the entire day's records and then asks you about the details.

7. Inhumane break schedule: Break times are fixed: only five minutes each in the morning and afternoon, and 50 minutes at noon.

Those considering joining should think it over carefully. However, there's no harm in trying it out—after all, who hasn't been a disposable employee at some point?
