Pros

Pizza Fridays and that's about it.

Cons

Antiquated systems, horrible management, cheap with benefits and salaries, scary neighborhood, crappy hours, uncomfortable physical environment, lots of screaming and yelling back and forth amongst employees, no public transportation around. Should I continue?

In 2015 L&R Distributors established uniform job titles, departments, and salary bands and issued a Cost of Living Increase to most employees. In the first quarter of 2016, L&R Distributors launched The L&R Way corporate re-branding initiative, performance appraisals with merit increases, and an Organizational Development program to help all employees develop professionally. Finally, within the next two years, L&R Distributors will be combining the Brooklyn and Long Island locations into one Corporate location. We are working to find a new location that is closer to public transportation.

Both the Scanner and the Picker positions are eligible for Piece-Rate-Pay premiums which means that they are paid an incentive if they exceed the productivity quota. Once a Scanner or a Picker reaches the productivity quota he/she starts earning additional cents per line of an order processed. The average rate of pay can easily be $12 to $16 an hour or more. This productivity incentive was put in place to help complete the day's work without adding hours to the day, we hope that with high productivity an employee can earn a great paycheck without working overtime hours.

Pros

It is remote work, there is little supervision (some may see that as a pro, I personally do not), flexibility with hours (convenient to schedule daytime doctor appointments, etc.)

Cons

The company was bought by an equity firm last year who only seem to care about profits and not their employees. I've watched new people be brought in and hardworking tenured employees be pushed out. The culture has gone downhill tremendously and I get no support in my job. The benefits are not competitive, there is little to no training, there is a lack of defined duties & responsibilities so you end up doing some of everything and the workload is unmanageable. The supervisors have no idea how much work you're doing and I only hear from them when there is a problem/something they need from me. I have been promised promotions a few times and each time I got an increased workload but no actual title/compensation change.
