Pros

You can easily get a job without experience

Cons

I'm pretty sure management will write positive reviews to cover the bad one but: This is not the company that you want to work for. KCAL is a Taiwanese family owned insurance agent. Only family members are trusted. Employees are working like slaves and machines and treated without basic trust. You have to sit in front of computer answering phone calls and offering quotes consistanlty 8 hours a day. Small breaks are not allowed. Cameras are installed everywhere to monitor what you are doing. Employees are required to use an APP called WECHAT to report daily work every night because management don't trust independent work, they want to know your progress in every detail. 95% of the job are customer services. Don't feel safe if you are hired as Communication Specialist or Financial Analyst, if you don't keep yourself low key, you will be transferred to unwanted jobs right away. Since management don't value their employees, people come and go SO often- which in turn, leads to the fact that employees are valued at least because they know you will leave eventually. The CEO is like the Emperor in those ancient Chinese dramas. Whatever he says, people will say yes and good. Different ideas are not favored. But if you are a slim cute Chinese girl, you may have greater chance to be loved in the company, since management can use your image in their commercials. CEO also likes to brags his close relationship with sherifs. Well, it is a typical Chinese mind set: To do businesses , set up good relationships with police officers first. However, dearest CEO, I don't think your closed sherif friend can save you when he knows that you don't pay overtime, accept hiring employee without work permissions and run a highly stressful company like this.

Pros

Its a nice work place. You get your own desk and tools provided. Great for people who enjoy mundane work.

Cons

Onboarding and training consists of mostly videos and their own book. Your manager will speed run some paperwork in front of you and expect perfection.
