Salary. Benefits are fairly good for Hualien.

Basic labor insurance, national health insurance, 6% pension contribution, annual leave, year-end bonus, and bonuses for the three major festivals.

Salary is around NT$35,000.

The advantage is that the company’s systems are not well established, so

The boss likes to make grand promises, is penny-pinching, and favors a supervisor with 30 years of seniority who likes to cause trouble.

(Drivers are told to take back defective products that should be scrapped, remove the packaging, and then ask colleagues at the fruit market to sell them individually. Alternatively, products made from soybeans, such as tofu and douhua, are taken out of the cold storage and packaged at room temperature outside the storage area, with absolutely no concern for the conditions required for food preservation.)

The company specializes in distributing fresh foods requiring soaking, frozen and refrigerated products, processed foods, and delivery to retail channels. No one cares about or follows the work-environment requirements and precautions that should be observed.

Office staff, warehouse personnel, and drivers—no one is willing to make changes to improve work efficiency.

The vast majority of drivers (except for two or three) are extremely selfish, have poor work habits, and cooperate poorly.

Warehouse staff (most of them are just slacking off and drifting along; quite often they drag things out and wait for others to help).

The company has significant food-safety issues. It allows warehouse staff and drivers doing inventory and order picking to turn off the cold-storage power while working, fail to close the storage doors, or even leave them wide open, showing no concern whatsoever for the temperature of the storage environment.
