•Management will not believe you in critical moments. If an employee gets Coronavirus and gives management the documents from their doctor that supports this (a positive test)...this company will not believe you and will make you drive and come in when you’re sick to get a covid test through them so that they can run it and see if you are ‘actually’ sick. •Micromanaging •Disrespectful management •Unprofessional •Will dangle promotions to incentivize work but never follow through and allow you to advance •Do not take matters such as racist comments in the work place seriously, there have been egregious comments made with those employees known for it remaining on staff for years repeating the same epithets with no reprimands •Multiple managers and supervisors and team leads that work over you who do not communicate well with each other or staff. You’ll be reprimanded by two for one thing and told you’re absolutely in the right by the other two while the last is still on the fence and another is trying to write you up for it while the others are still debating •Frequently text and email outside of work expecting you to respond •Pressure you to work more than your contracted or scheduled hours •Almost none of the management/supervisors have science education backgrounds (there is even a supervisor who believes the earth is flat), so they don’t understand the importance of certain lab procedures or PPE and are more worried about how much work you are getting done and how quickly it gets done. They don’t care about employee health or safety or well-being. •All of this leads to a high turnover rate where there is too much work to be done for the number employed. This means they pressure you to work overtime and then they hire temp workers which they pay more than you and expect the overworked staff to train the temp workers for no extra compensation. It’s a recipe for more employee burn out resulting in more turn over •Despite all this, management will demand this job be your first priority outside of your family, school, or life outside work

- Cars have signs and not all communities will allow you to have it - you will have to cover it every night or need a garage and they are strictly for job, not own use - Hired as a day worker but I start at 3.30pm and finish 12.30 am so you are working late evenings mostly - After some time you will be getting more and more things to go pick up, in the middle of your already tight, planned ahead route, and you will be late everywhere and cause delays and need to remember and consider many things, including meeting with your coworkers as you are co-dependable as a driver you are the least person in the company and pressure is on you mostly. If the sales representative said you did it wrong - they believe him, not you, as you definitely not a person who sweet talks for living, so they will be favorited by management and they technically make a company new accounts and new money, so your word against theirs is their win. - you will often pick up after your dispatcher forgot smth, or pick up after somebody did smth wrong or whole things got messed up at all – it will happen often. So talking for dispatchers – it is very hard probably on their end too as very often they call and ask to cover smth up and you run like there is no tomorrow of course, because you understand they are human. On the other hand sometimes you are rushing all day and if this happens too much – you are very stressed out – you are just rushing so much. Owners are wealthy after covid but really cheap still - pay is low and increases like 25 cent a year - I started 11.50 or 12 and after 5 or 6 years it is 13.50. it is 2020 here and i worked this years like crazy as they got super busy with covid and - yes I had overtime pay but I had to do crazy crazy big amount of job and we did not got any bonus. - very hard on you to take your time off – even months in advance - I agreed to work weekends and work without a day off for 3 months. Asked for day off, or vocation, witch I accumulated a lot and was yelled at also then when refused to work weekends anymore as having no time off and being not appreciated and accommodated for 2 days off, was very painful to experience, and was yelled at again. -It was very hard to deal with management after I stopped doing weekends as 3 month having no day off and not feeling appreciated and no promised salary increase throw it all off -Lucky me, my coworkers told me if I will not take vocation after new year it will disappear if it is more than 20 hours. So I requested month in advance but was told it is impossible as it was around Christmas so everyone wanted it. After having to argue, I was given vocation time but offered different days and I had to accept to have it on random days as otherwise it would just disappear and no one from my management would ever send a message to tell us about it. Only know from staff. -There are people who are favorited by management - clearly. I was not one of those. They like the ones who talk sweet to them, they are those who make other people' s job hard and stressful.
