Worst place to work

Pros

-Nice coworkers, but don't get too attached, you never know who's getting fired or quitting. I've been here for over 5 years and have had over 7 supervisors and 30+ coworkers in my team or department leave. Feels like there is at least 2 or 3 people leaving per week. I'm just happy to be getting out of this place!

Cons

-No work life balance (I work 60 hours+ per week) -Managers have no proper training going from co-worker to your supervisor -No HR -Retaliation - be careful who you speak to -Pay is way below average and they will purposely give you a bad review so they don't have to give you an increase -Performance review system is a joke

Pros

Overtime opportunities available all the time. Training is very detailed. 1 hr. Long lunch break No weekends/holidays

Cons

If they dont like you (as a person), they'll give you the boot no matter how hard you work. They will find the pettiest reason to do it. If you plan on working here, I'll give you the advice someone gave me on my first day... "Keep your head down and your mouth shut. If you disagree on something dont voice it or it will be used against you and last but not least, dont trust anyone...theres always someone watching." Actual advice someone gave me btw....

Pros

Great company if you're among the hand-picked for management, good pay ( office dependent! / great benefits. Was a nice place to start a career ( for training purposes ), but would leave as soon as path to advancement slows. Great money is available to those who produce in the form of bonus / commission, but only to Management positions. At one time this company was overflowing with talent and vigor.

Cons

POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS. You're either "in" or "out" ALL levels of this company are like a High school clique ( friends promote friends ). Acumen / talent not valued as it was even ten years ago, and the beaurocracy involved with even the most rudimentary functions has become more than cumbersome to navigate. District Managers have far, far too much power and the [power is unchecked and what happens / how employees are handled and valued in one office is vastly different than the next throughout the organization. DM's and Sales are the only groups expressly valued by Corporate. All about their "Culture" to the point of being self-blinded to profitable alternative business modalities. The Amway of Freight Forwarding. You'll learn to drink the Kool-Aid if you stay for any length of time.
