"I like the fast pace and vendor relationships. There is always something to keep you busy. Creating new spreadsheets, and ways to keep all files in order. Constant change with new products and working within the warehouse environment. Sometimes the data can be overwhelming, but I just get up and take a walk to clear my head."

Buyer at Linkyo
in La Puente, CA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"It's for the ones who need an income & won't mind getting fired one day."

What do you like about working at Linkyo?

"- If you do not speak English, that's OK, as Chinese is used as the main form of communication.- There's a wide selection of restaurants around the company. Variety of choices for lunch.- Sponsorship for work visa.- Pays better than a typical small company, but a lot lower than a big corporation."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Do not lie on your previous salary & work history, because they not only run your background, but also run your job history & salary."

What don't you like about working at Linkyo?

"- Benefit: No raise, no 401K program, & no vacation after 1st year.- Most of the employment here ends by termination rather than lay-off; therefore employee will not be eligible to receive EDD.- No Growth potential, as company's outlook is trending on a downward spiral.- Micromanagement: Cameras are installed through out the office to monitor each employee.- Management: Management has very little background & knowledge on running an online retailer.There's a manager who is still completely clueless on everything, even after being with the company for 1.5 years. Anther manager, who knows what he is doing, quit & started his own business selling the similar product.- Products: A major portion of business relies on selling patent infringement products, & the remaining portion of the products are dead tech.- Real Estate: Warehouse is purchased in '07 & lost a lot of value which dis-attract investors."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Obey the law & stop selling patent infringement products immediately. Only an ethical business can be a long term business. There's no need for another visit by Federal Agents.- Stop hiring the unemployed people from large corporation. It's not a good bargain to hire them just because you pay them much less than what they used to earn. There must be a good reason why they are no longer working for a large corporation & end up working for a small company instead of another large corporation.- Change Organization Structure: In small company, it is typical that most of the employee reports directly to the General Manager (often time it's the owner). Reduce the hierarchy system to keep the company lean.- Let employee to use their knowledge & creativity on selling different products instead of threat to hold them responsible if innovation fails. This might be the last chance to revive the company.- Rent out the un-used portion of the warehouse to generate income to pay debt."
