Salary. The benefits are fairly good for Hualien.

Basic labor insurance, health insurance, 6% pension contribution, annual leave, year-end bonus, and the three traditional 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 opportunities, while favoring a supervisor with 30 years of seniority who likes to cause trouble.

(Drivers are instructed to bring back defective products that should have been scrapped. After removing the packaging, employees at 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 complete disregard for the food preservation requirements.)

The company specializes in the distribution of processed foods, including fresh foods, frozen and refrigerated products, as well as delivery services through various channels. No one cares about or follows the work-environment requirements and procedures that should be observed.

Office staff, warehouse staff, 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 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—in fact, sometimes leaving it wide open—and they have no concern whatsoever for the storage temperature.
