Pros

Easy to get in, as long as you are legal to work in the US. If you have a hard time on finding a job or you do not speak English but Chinese is your native language, this one is a good place to start.

Cons

The way they running business is very unethical. The company culture is more like a Chinese company running in the US. Most of employees in this company are Chinese. The owner and the management are racist and sometime they can also be reversed racism. So you will be discriminated either in a positive or negative way. They abuse full time regular staffs by giving them extremely heavy workload. You must work overtime (sometime overnight) to get the job done. However, overtime is absolutely unpaid. All you will get is a simple "Thank You" from the owner.

Pros

Very friendly colleagues so the working environment is good. Working hour is 12-8pm, which fits my habit. Company also provides complimentary lunch during weekends.

Cons

Sales quotas are a little bit stressful, but you can learn a lot of sales techniques. The average salary might be a little bit low in Bay Area

Pros

Honestly, there were virtually no meaningful positives beyond gaining minimal exposure to administrative tasks.

Cons

The role was misleading from the start—despite being hired as an administrative assistant, the work was heavily sales-driven. Management lacked professionalism and frequently took over or reassigned my clients, undermining both performance and morale. The company consistently made promises regarding growth and support that were never fulfilled. The work environment was extremely high-pressure, with unrealistic expectations, no overtime compensation, and little regard for employee well-being. Overall, a highly toxic and unsupportive workplace.
