The boss really likes scolding people: crude guava
The environment is bright and clean, and my colleagues are very nice. Because the workload is highly demanding, you can unexpectedly improve very quickly. Meals are provided.
The boss often scolds and makes sarcastic remarks toward people, and even sometimes makes comments that look down on women. Meetings take up so much of your time that you have no time to do your own work, so you have to work overtime to finish it, without overtime pay. Supervisors sometimes teach you to do things outside your responsibilities.
The colleagues are very nice, and everyone gets along well.
The boss is very stingy and loves holding meetings, most of which have no clear purpose. A lot of time is often wasted in meetings. The boss loves praising himself, thinks he is extremely capable, and then criticizes employees for not understanding shoes. The content of the meetings is often unrelated to shoemaking. The boss likes to use new employees to criticize old employees, saying how good, hardworking, and professional the new employees are. Even after someone has resigned, they may still be brought up in a meeting and publicly ridiculed in front of the staff.
The company wants to hire good employees at low wages, but the workload is completely disproportionate to the pay, and there is no overtime pay.
Moreover, the salary agreed upon during the interview is reduced during the probationary period. After the probationary period, when employees request that the agreed-upon salary be restored, the company uses various excuses to evade the issue. This is not an isolated case.
Everyone should really think carefully before joining. This is a very problematic company.
Good environment; Taiwanese colleagues are friendly.
The boss likes to call people into meetings, where he often boasts about himself and scolds subordinates, believing that everyone is incapable of making shoes. If he is willing to scold you, it means he still cares about you, but the meeting content is often unrelated to shoemaking, making it a waste of time.
The supervisor is a relative of the boss and has also been more or less brainwashed. They often tell people to take the initiative to ask whenever they do not understand something, and to keep asking until no one else can stump them. Even when something is clearly supposed to be handled by colleagues in mainland China, you are expected to learn it so that others cannot stump you, and it eventually becomes your responsibility.
In addition, the supervisor comes from a sales background. They are very articulate and good at painting a rosy picture during interviews, but have little decision-making authority under the boss's control and often have to follow the boss's orders.
All in all, this is a company that requires serious consideration.
There is an opportunity to negotiate a higher salary when first discussing compensation.
Basically, the boss loves to scold people. The only ones who don't get scolded are his relatives and the general manager. Even if he doesn't scold you to your face, he may say extremely unpleasant things about you behind your back. And even after you leave the company, you may still be brought up and publicly humiliated.
Although there is an opportunity to negotiate a higher salary at the beginning, the higher the salary, the faster the consequences may come…
He likes to use new employees to criticize old employees, saying how good, hardworking, and professional the newcomers are. However, once the honeymoon period is over, it will probably be……
The boss insists on buying the cheapest option for everything, but this often results in greater losses due to minor savings, and because of this, the people below him are often put in a difficult position.
If you want to learn about the shoemaking process or trade-related work, there are many other companies to choose from—unless you think being scolded is thoroughly satisfying, or you have an exceptionally thick skin. In that case, it might be a fairly suitable place for you.
The colleagues are very nice and really love group-buying.
People who aren’t short on money can go, because the pay is low, but it’s very easy to keep spending.
The chairman really likes to say that he personally takes care of everything. He comes into the office basically every day, and then there are endless meetings to attend. Most of the meetings have nothing to do with you, but he will still call you in.
You spend the whole day in meetings and can’t get any work done, so you can only do it after work—but they don’t pay overtime.
The company likes to ask you to do things outside your job duties in the name of learning. You are expected to know what you should know, and even what you shouldn’t know—you’re expected to be curious enough to ask. The company’s mission is to turn everyone into an all-around talent, so that ideally, no matter how people ask you questions, they can’t stump you.
There are two exams each year, administered personally by the chairman, but how well you perform does not seem to affect your salary.
I think the most astonishing thing is that when new colleagues interview, their salary is agreed upon in advance. The salary is lower during the probationary period, but after completing three months and passing the probationary period, when you ask to have the agreed-upon salary restored, the company will extend your probationary period for reasons such as claiming that you are not qualified enough. And this is not an isolated case—at least two people have experienced the same thing.
If you don’t care at all about working hours or salary, and you really want to know how shoes are made from start to finish, from nothing to something, then go for it!

The responsibility-based system already violates the Labor Standards Act. Why does your company still dare to make such outrageous claims? Job seekers and companies should be equal. Wasting job seekers’ time, among other things—complaints should be normal.
The company's interior looks nice, and lunch is provided.
Extremely disrespectful toward job applicants. I arrived on time but was told the manager was in a meeting and that I should wait patiently. When I finally went in for the interview, the manager immediately belittled me while elevating himself, even saying it was pathetic that the applicant did not know certain things. The manager's entire life revolves around work, and he told the applicant that if work was not the center of their life, then that was all their life amounted to. He seemed to think that family ties, romantic relationships, and family life were all unnecessary. I had to listen to the manager criticize me throughout. Later, another senior manager conducted the interview, but the manager directly told the senior manager, "We don't need this candidate; I have someone else scheduled to interview later." During the senior manager's interview, another employee interrupted by bringing in documents. The senior manager said to wait a moment and continued the interview, leaving the applicant waiting around. Finally, the manager said, "We still have other people to interview. Go home first and wait for our notification."
The manager seemed to think he was extremely impressive and showed absolutely no respect for the interviewee. His attitude and tone during the interview were condescending, and he had no sense of time. The company operates under a responsibility-based work system with no overtime pay; if someone cannot finish their work, they are expected to stay and help support others.
