Salary. Benefits are fairly good for Hualien.

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

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

The boss likes to make grand promises and take advantage of small opportunities, and favors a supervisor with 30 years of experience who likes to cause trouble.

(Drivers are instructed to bring back defective products that should be scrapped; after removing the packaging, colleagues in the fruit market are asked to sell them individually. Alternatively, products made from soybeans, such as tofu and douhua, are taken out of the freezer and packaged at room temperature outside the storage area, with no concern whatsoever for food storage conditions.)

The company specializes in distributing fresh and frozen food products, preserved foods, processed food products, and delivery through distribution channels. No one cares about or follows the required work-environment standards and procedures.

Office staff, warehouse personnel, and drivers are unwilling to make changes to improve work efficiency.

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

Warehouse personnel (most of them are just getting by, drifting along, and often delaying tasks while waiting for others to help).

The company has significant food-safety problems. It allows inventory handlers and drivers inspecting goods to turn off the freezer power while handling inventory, without closing the freezer door during the process—and sometimes leaving it wide open—showing no concern for the temperature of the storage environment.
