Pros

Decent wages, sponsored sport teams

Cons

Health Insurance is horrible, only offer HSA's with high out of pocket. No paid time off until 6 months. You are given 2 unpaid day's for the first 6 months, even though you may only need to take an hour off your scheduled shift, they count it as a full day. You are given 2 breaks, each 10 minutes with a bell at 9 minute mark and a 30 minute lunch, with a bell at 27 minutes. You are not eligible for a bonus until you've been there 3 years! The HR department doesn't follow through with commitments. Proper safety/osha equipment isn't supplied in a timely manner. Recently was informed that we would be required to work Christmas week, and that we would be given 2 day's of unpaid time to make up for the short notice, yeah ok! Have recently had several benefits taken away.

Thank you for your review. Safety is of the utmost importance to us, if you have concerns, please share with management, the Safety Department or a Human Resource Representative. True is proud to be the industry leader in commercial refrigeration, it takes professionalism on all levels to be as successful as we are. We expect our team members to be at work on time and here every day. We are continually benchmarking our wages and benefits and are proud to be competitive in both areas.

Pros

True offers set hours with great pay, great Benefits, Opportunity for advancement, and great Work-Live Balance Flexibility. Benefits include 1. PTO (lots to start, more with each year), 2. Health, Dental, and Eye Insurance 3. Company Savings Program 4. Cafe and Cafeteria (Cafe is awesome) 5. 401K Retirement Match Contributions 6. Large X-Mas Bonus Opportunities 7. Set 40 hours a Week Schedule with Flexibility 8. Great Corporate Professiona, Clean Enviroment 9. Top of the Line Equipment and Software 10. Dedicated Professional Management Team to help Employees with Continued Education and Employment Advancement. On the Flexibility of Hours...For example if your hours are 8-4:30 M-F, you have the option to Flex your time to 7:00-3:30 on any given day to make time for a late appointment. Even better, if you have to leave and return you have the option to make up your time between 7:00AM and 7:00PM. I will add that True is a privately owned company with the CEO and Owner Steve Trulaske working directly with the different teams. I personally have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He has been so kind and professional to work with on a personal level and cares deeply about the companies success and the individual employees success. He is first class all the way.

Cons

You are required to work because this is a competitive industry, and a success driven environment, you will be challenged to do you best, you will be encouraged to succeed and become a better employee tomorrow then you are today. If you want to get paid to play on your phone all day, this is not the right place for you! If you want to make a difference and really achieve something, this is the environment for you.

Pros

Most of your co-workers are chill.

Cons

Terrible pay. They make you stay on your feet all day even when there is nothing to do and that happens quite often. They claim they train you for 2 weeks but it's really 3 days then they just shrug and stick you somewhere. The benefits are on par with the pay, laughable. They have a lot of strict rules most of which you won't find out until you break them. They don't teach you about much so you're kind of left to fumble through until you figure things out. They also have mandatory overtime which they don't tell you about until you're hired.
