Salary. The 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 holidays.

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 manager with 30 years of seniority who likes to cause trouble.

(Drivers are instructed to bring back defective products that should be scrapped. After removing the packaging, colleagues at the fruit market are asked to sell them individually. Alternatively, products made from soybeans, such as tofu and tofu pudding, 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 the distribution of fresh and frozen processed foods, including soaked fresh produce, frozen and chilled products, as well as delivery services for various sales channels. No one cares about or follows the work-environment requirements and precautions that should be observed.

Office staff, warehouse personnel, and drivers are unwilling 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 are uncooperative.

Warehouse staff (most of them just slack off and drift along; quite often 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—or even leaving it wide open—showing no concern whatsoever for storage temperatures.
