L&R Distributors reviews about "raise"

Not very good Managment, raises quota, No order

Company is constantly changing their expectations and rules, as in literally weekly. Company has started a teams work call once a week and refuses to record it if not available to be on it because you were literally working on the clock. employees are no longer allowed to input admin time. This is time that is used for scheduling, checking the shipping of your stores, emails, checking teams and connect teams apps. Must either do this all without compensation or while checked into a store as a SFM are now required to work on Saturdays without notice and they want you to be available at the drop of a hat with pay less than working at McDonald’s. There is not much room for growth after this position. The next level up would be District Manager and those positions do not come often. Company also laid off a significant amount of people last year, including a quarter if not half of their DM‘s and are planning to do another round of layoffs for DM’s 2026. Do not see much more room for growth after becoming an SFM. Company does not provide a yearly hourly rate increase. Spring of 2025 I was finally given a 50 Cent raise, same as every other SFM and FM. This was the first raise. I’ve been given three years prior to becoming an SFM.

I work in the field and find that sometimes communication is a little slow -regarding changes in policies, etc. While I feel my pay rate is fair, pay raises are small with long intervals in between. I feel it's the only drawback to working here.

Allocation of funds seems to be extremely misplaced. Whole company running on outdated technology. Constant promise of new innovation in the pipeline but never comes thru. Saying the company is a family will be used against you to put all your time and effort in for little pay. Marc chooses not to be open and honest about things like if the company will or will not give raises/ bonuses. Lack of leadership overall

benchmarks - they don't care about quality low mileage reinburstment

Entry level job-not a place to grow, no promotion, little to no raises

Low pay, lack of raises for valuable and loyal employees, gas mileage is not paid at the recommended amount by state

The work weeks stretch to over 50-100 hours, and the managers say work as much as you have to. There are no raises, and the sales force was let go with the CEO lying about no lay offs in the pipeline. There is nothing but excuses from the CEO, and the company was bought out by Platinum Equity. No plans about staying home, and manager's try to force employees to come back. Significant cuts have been made, and people at the company are getting Covid-19. Everyone is afraid of getting laid off. CEO said everyone is safe but the sales team was cut, and those who are friends of the owner are promoted.
