Literally the worst job I've ever had! - Logistics Coordinator Ventura Foods Employee Review

Pros

The Logistics Coordinator position is paid an average wage, but nowhere near enough for the abusive atmosphere one must endure. Hours are M-F / 8-5, with little to no opportunity for overtime.

Cons

The Logistics team works in a bullpen design (about 20 employees in one large room), so one is constantly subjected to the backstabbing, temper tantrums, constant cursing, and overall miserable attitudes of one's co-workers. No training is provided, so there is a huge learning curve and outrageous expectations from day one. This company is in a MESS, and no one seems interested in finding solutions, only in pointing fingers and passing the buck. Company hires all new employees (in this department) on a Temp-to-Hire basis, but I promise you, you will NOT want to stay.

Pros

Compensation was above average compared to similar roles in the industry. Coworkers were friendly, supportive, and willing to help one another. The team environment was collaborative and positive.

Cons

New leadership lacks institutional knowledge and understanding of the business. The company is relying heavily on offshore consultants who also lack sufficient operational knowledge. Leadership appears to favor hiring former coworkers and outside connections instead of promoting qualified internal employees.
