Pros

Great benefits.

Cons

Management are lazy,incompetent,and liars. You will constantly be forced to work overtime and 7 days straight and if you can't for some reason they threaten to fire you. If you are not a lazy person and you show that you are then expected to pick up the slack for every other shift and constantly fix their mistake or be punished for it. They also have zero care or consideration for men and women that work for them.

Pros

1. Location is in the northeast so it's easy to commute if you stay nearby. 2. Simple interview to pass if you can prove you like to work long hours. 3. Head office is in Taipei so Mandarin is a precious advantage. 4. Works if you can handle JIT (just-in-time) jobs.

Cons

1. Small office; will have to do things out of your job scope. 2. Manual tracking of orders + ERP system so broken down that using it is useless. 3. Top-Down approach; demanding seniors. 4. No work-life balance. Normal for staff to stay beyond 8. 5. HR openly talks about candidates after the interview.
