It is usually very quiet when colleagues are not loudly chatting, arguing, or slamming down the phone, because even when sitting right next to each other, they insist on communicating only through messaging apps—top-notch secrecy and counterintelligence.

Workplace bullying is severe, with hairpin-turn-style one-person-rule management. People with independent thinking or strong execution abilities may not be suited to the company culture.

Unpaid overtime is routine. Domestic business trips (on weekdays and holidays) come with no travel allowance or overtime pay. To take statutory annual leave, employees must provide the company with detailed reasons and personal privacy information to prove that they are not simply taking time off. If you do not say thank you for a 500-dollar annual raise, the boss will personally reprimand you for being poor at handling interpersonal relationships.

The two shortcomings mentioned in previous posts have still not been improved to this day. Think carefully, compare more options, and then decide whether you want to enter such a workplace.

1. The salary is considered quite good for southern Taiwan; starting pay is NT$28,000, and the Lunar New Year bonus is NT$10,000 if nothing unexpected happens.

2. If nothing unexpected happens and performance is good enough, the employee trip is overseas.

3. Salaries are paid on the last working day of each month, rather than being delayed until the 5th or 10th.

4. The company is located downtown, next to a busy commercial area, so the location is very convenient.

1. The actual atmosphere in the company's workplace is very strange. No one communicates or talks during work hours; everyone uses Skype instead (P.S. the office is very small). People work independently, and it is as quiet as a library—you can even hear a pin drop (no exaggeration). There is also very little connection among colleagues, making it feel like working with a group of robots.

2. The boss has severe cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive issues and loves to nag. They even control where the scrubber is placed. They are also extremely self-righteous and look down on young people, often saying that younger workers are “strawberry generation”—not serious and difficult to train. (But this company can only afford to hire young people. Quite something.)

3. The workload is large and miscellaneous. There is no overtime pay, and employees are forced to clock in before 6:20 p.m. because the company may be inspected by the labor authorities. After clocking out, however, employees continue staying to work.

4. The company is very good at making grand promises. Whether it is the boss or the supervisors, what they say during interviews is different from reality after you start working. Many benefits look good on paper but are never actually received. Even though the position is in sales, there is no sales commission.

That’s all—four pros and four cons each. If you can overcome the drawbacks, feel free to come take on the challenge~

The work atmosphere is very poor. No one talks all day; apart from answering the phone and discussing work matters, no one says a word more than necessary. New employees are not looked after, and the staff are all very cold. After working hours, you must clock out within 20 minutes. Even if you work overtime, there is no overtime pay, as it is treated as a responsibility-based position. There is a lot of work, and it is complicated. Most supervisors do not have time to explain things to you slowly; they only explain everything once. People without relevant experience will have a very difficult time!
