Salary. The benefits are fairly good for Hualien.

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

The 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 opportunities, while favoring a supervisor with 30 years of service who likes to cause trouble.

(Drivers are told to bring back defective products that should have been scrapped. After removing the packaging, colleagues at the fruit market are instructed to sell them individually. Otherwise, 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 complete disregard for food-storage conditions.)

The company specializes in the distribution of fresh and chilled products, frozen and refrigerated processed foods, and delivery through various channels. No one pays attention to 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 the drivers (except for two or three) are very selfish, have poor work habits, and cooperate poorly.

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

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