I can probably write a novel about the cons surrounding Sweetwater. Point system was VERY strict. I just had a wedding, which I took time off to deal with, and an unfortunate and sudden death in the family. We had lost a family member to depression. I was open about my situation to my supervisor at the time (because the warehouse is a revolving door.) but I was a minute too late, and I was let go. Because I was a minute…. Late…. I was there for almost 4 years, and all of that was thrown out the window.
I knew that they didn’t care to keep people who had seniority. They find you easily replaceable. I had many issues with fellow coworkers such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, and just plain inappropriate behavior. I’ve made reports about being inappropriately touched, and reports about being verbally harassed. HR rarely responded to any emails, I would physically have to walk to their office, which they were never there.
I had issues with the diner regarding allergies or preferences. Mislabeling food to say it’s chicken when in reality it’s PORK. Very low quality compared to the main building.
I was employed at the time we had to move inventory to the new warehouse. They had me working in warehouse 1 alone to complete advanced replacements while the racks were being torn down by a construction team. Metal and scraps falling from high places and hitting me in the head. Which I reported but no one did anything, or remembered that I was in there. HR is there to protect the company, not you.
