Salary. The benefits are fairly good for Hualien.

Basic labor insurance, national health insurance, 6% pension contribution, annual leave, year-end bonus, and holiday bonuses.

Salary is around NT$35,000.

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

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

(Drivers are asked to bring back defective products that should have been scrapped; after the packaging is removed, colleagues at the fruit market are told to sell them individually. Otherwise, products made from soybeans, such as tofu and tofu pudding, are taken out of the cold storage and packaged at room temperature outside the storage area, with no concern whatsoever for food-storage conditions.)

The company specializes in the distribution of processed foods, including fresh foods requiring soaking, frozen and refrigerated products, as well as delivery to sales channels. No one pays attention to or complies with the required work-environment standards and requirements.

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

The vast majority of the drivers (except for two or three) are very selfish, have poor work habits, and are uncooperative.

Warehouse staff (most of them are just coasting and getting by; much of the time they drag their feet and wait for others to help).

The company has significant food-safety problems. It allows stock handlers and inspection drivers to turn off the cold-storage power while handling goods, without closing the storage doors during the process—in fact, sometimes leaving them wide open—and they have no concern for maintaining the proper storage temperature.
