This is a REAL Review! Prev review is false and obviously left by HR or Mgt - Avoid like the plague! Wasted years there!

Pros
Somewhat average Medical benefits, average number of vacation days, NO Vision coverage. Lower level employees at Corporate are friendly even though they work in an atmosphere of fear where you would have to endure a soul sucking, miserable existence of a career to obtain an ESOP payout at the end. But by that time you may not have the will to enjoy those last few months of life. Another pro (for most) to working at Turtle & Hughes would be you get to discuss what's going on at work at all family gatherings, because this job is a perfect example of the ineptitude of a culture created out of Nepotism!! If you did not get a job there because you were related to someone there, you got the job because you were friends with someone there. If you happen to be one of the rare few who got the job based on your experience and resume, you are for sure living in a world of unbearable hurt!!
Cons
- The horrible pay - Having to work in a culture that promotes siloed positions (they are totally against cross training its employees) and in turn, created a very real culture of I can't show you anything because it will hurt my job security! Very archaic and sad culture - The lack of leadership - Lack of information sharing - The Horrible Pay - Lack of teamwork - Reckless growth for the sake of growth that is crippling the company and overburdening its employees - The culture of fear created after being vested in the ESOP program. It is the only reason people who are still there stick it out - The culture that rudely allows its Polish employees to constantly speak Polish every single day in front of other employees with no repercussions at all from HR - The culture that promotes and encourages butt kissing as one of the very few ways of being noticed and possibly rescued from one of their ball and chain dead end positions - Did I mention the HORRIBLE PAY! Yikes!!

Pros
Great benefits, 401k, ESOP(if an employee actually makes it there for more than a week)
Cons
Where to begin? First of all I had been here three years without a single raise in pay, after begging for a raise which I deserved they gave me a .35 cent raise. The warehouse is a revolving door for employees, never in my life working for warehouse companies have I seen people get hired and quit their first day more than I have here. Management treats it's employees like dogs. Sales gets all the glory(and pay) while the meaningless back breakers that pick, package, and ship their orders get treated like complete dirt. People get fired for ridiculous reasons sometimes, and when asked for help on shifts they always say they are constantly "hiring" or "looking." Not to mention the VP of logistics whose name we can keep out TF, who constantly takes two hour meetings to berate his warehouse employees in a group amongst their peers. Bottom line, the founders of what used to be a small family focused company would be rolling in their graves had they known how the employees are treated. Stay away you'll thank me later.
