Tree of Life Reviews

Pros

benefits are great. Pay is reasonable for job done. Management seems to care about employees and does what they can to better empoyee's lives while still maintaining company's best interests.

Cons

Communication from management to employees could use major improvement. Delivering in New York City. Warehouse seems to have problems retaining employees.

Advice to Senior Management

I am happy with the transition changes. I would like to see better communication of company news and events. Need better training for employees in all departments. Performance reviews should be done in a timely manner. I have not yet received a review. I would like to see what I can improve, and of course, where I am excelling.

Pros

Benefit package is relatively good for the Dalas area, although, compensation is not competitive.

Cons

Treat employees poorly.
Poor HR department

Advice to Senior Management

Should look very closely at HR department. There is very little or no concern for its employees. Everyone is looking for a way to blame employees instead of management.

Pros

number of personal days off.
Benefits package is very nice, if you are there long enough to use it.
number of different shifts allows flexability.

Cons

Would not allow you to go home if sick.
Refused personal days
Use performance as punidhment when not at 100%, but ridiculed if not at peak performance.
management lets you know you are not important.

Advice to Senior Management

People want to work, but when you make us feel we are expendable and of little worth to the company, you can't expect a loyal work force. You don't lead by abusing people, you lead by caring.

Pros

Nice Equipment. Nice people. Very good job benefits.

Cons

Senior drivers think speeding is justified when training new hires. They show no concern about your well being telling you to "follow them" at speeds in excess of 70 mph at night on a posted 55 mph highway. They are obviously "in good" with management, but this does not justify breaking the Federal Laws.

Advice to Senior Management

Time the delivery time on overnight long runs and DO the Math.

Pros

I have a route servicing grocery stores. I do not have an office to go to or check in with anyone from the company. I go to work, do my job, then go home. As long as I get my job done and do my best to keep the stores happy no one really looks over my shoulder. I do not sit all day at a desk and look at a computer.

Cons

Lack of communication. They have tried several methods, email, snail mail, voice mail. I believe
all have failed. Not sure why, but they should try to solve this issue.
No team spirit, do not even know who most of the other employees are.

Advice to Senior Management

Better communication, better mileage reimbursement, LOCAL company Holiday party,

Pros

some flexibility
You are pretty much working independently

Cons

pay for the amount of work you are given
manangement
mileage pay is way below average
amount of work for money paid
attitude of management when time off is needed or if you call in sick
not all employees treated equally
they do not provide you the tools and means to provide good customer service
if help is needed they do not respond even if it means the customer suffers
they do not care about you as a person
they do not compensate you for using your minutes on your personal cell phone

Advice to Senior Management

The entire employee package and management needs to be examined and major changes need to be made if they want to keep valuable, hard working, loyal employees.
