The second-generation owner comes from a teaching background and often asks employees to do a bunch of unreasonable things. For example, even though the company is clearly not making money, she insists on accommodating someone’s demands and carrying out her so-called public welfare marketing activities.

For example, every year they have to find organizations serving disadvantaged groups and donate sound-absorbing product merchandise that the recipient organizations do not actually need. She then requires the social welfare organizations to send employees to take photos with her, satisfying someone’s image of caring for disadvantaged groups, for use in the company’s social media posts.

The second-generation owner thinks this creates a corporate social responsibility image, but fails to realize that the company itself is not making money. Instead of seriously thinking about how to increase profits, she only makes employees spend time on unprofitable activities—and then the bonus might be just 200 NTD....

All I can say is: run. Don’t waste your youth at a company that could go under at any time.

1. Once you get through the probationary period, taking leave is easy to arrange.

2. The company provides meals, but the dishes may not be what you expect.

3. The company participates in the Employment Stabilization Fund program under Taiwan’s employment insurance system, so during the first 18 months of employment, you can receive additional government-subsidized allowances. With these allowances, your monthly income during the first 18 months may reach NT$40,000.

4. The company has a snack cabinet stocked for religious ceremonies and inexpensive coffee, so there really are unlimited snacks and coffee available.

1. Most starting salaries are set at the minimum wage for labor and health insurance contributions, and employees are required to take turns cleaning the toilets.

2. When a product container shipment arrives, employees in every position are required to help organize the goods.

3. The company has no salary adjustment mechanism whatsoever. You could be earning the same low wage even after ten years, so it may be suitable if you are merely looking to pass the time.

4. Many positions are offered at the minimum wage. The second-generation successor is indecisive and does not really understand the duties and procedures of each position, often requesting meaningless or repetitive work or simply failing to understand the situation.

5. It is a family business, and it is unclear who actually controls the company. The two first-generation bosses have been out of touch with reality for far too long, and many of their ideas are no longer feasible. Every meeting is spent making grand promises.

7. If you are applying for a sales position, the company does provide a company car, but it is an old, many-years-old vehicle. If you use your own car for sales work, the company’s fuel reimbursement makes you feel as though you are being treated like a beggar.

8. The company’s overall marketing strategy is problematic. It wants to work with influencers but cannot afford to pay them; otherwise, it offers products that have been sitting in the company’s inventory for years. Yet the products are relatively expensive, and the company does not understand who its paying customers are.

During the interview, there was a significant discrepancy between the salary promised by the company and the salary actually offered after joining. It was even arbitrarily reduced, so I realized that the company might be engaging in dishonest practices and decided to give up the job.
