A necessary evil job that I'm elated I moved on from - Anonymous employee CTDI Employee Review

- Salary WAY below national average - One point of contact for a HUGE warehouse operation - Customer has been rated as the worst company in America...and their grubby, slimy handprints are ALL over the operation. - A "Yes-man" mentality to the customers, where numerous demands for more work to be done on product during operations WHILE the company agrees to a reduced cost-per-unit. - Salary reviews are once a year and come in the form of a 2% increase. 3% if you are "exceptional". - Promotions for technical staff is non-existent if you're looking to move up in a technical role (unless you're lucky to live in the Philadelphia, PA area) that DOESN'T involve production management. It took me being proactive to negotiate for a promotion and resulted in a still-below-average wage increase. - Yearly reductions in 401k profit sharing bonuses. Since the inception of the STB business, the company grew at an explosive rate. This meant profit sharing for employees tanked form 6% to 3% of your PREVIOUS year's salary. So if you were making $50,000 last year and make $51,000 this year, your 401k match would maybe be $1,500. Oh, and for the rest of the year, the company matches 10% of your weekly 401k contribution, with a 5% max. - Extremely aggressive branch and corporate management. To the point where if you're the only point of contact to ensure continued operations, you better be available 24/7/365. If you're not, you will hear it in an angry phone call or e-mail all the way up to the Parsons. It got so bad that it adversely affected my quality of life. - MIPS are a joke. There is not one STB branch that has consistently hit their goals. - HR is a joke. I have requested paperwork following my voluntary termination of employment and I have yet to get any response following numerous phone calls and e-mails.
