    Mixed feelings. Not bad Not Great. Good place to get on your feet.

    Pros

    Great pay + Benefits. Willingness to train, get out early, other days OT. Diverse employee pool

    Cons

    Bad communication from management. Will force you to move from warehouse to freezer with no notice. Will say they have it covered and 2 days before the shift tell you that you are moving buildings to the freezer without asking you even if they said it was figured out already. They say the shift starts at 8, but it really starts earlier or you'll miss required morning meeting. If you don't go out of your way to figure out what's going on, odds are management won't tell you. High turnover rate probably related to this. I left due to being forced to the freezer I have a physical disability that makes freezing conditions cause pain. I'd probably still be there today if I stayed in the position I was trained on.

    Pros

    Great work/life balance Good team for the most part

    Cons

    Toxic people thrive and crush others, new people are constantly overloaded with work, people don’t stay here very long so very few have the level of knowledge that is required to improve the company in a meaningful way. I’ve never seen a company that has so much turnover company wide.

    Great job, long work weeks

    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Management is great, pay is amazing for the area, benefits no company can match because of union benefits.

    Cons

    You work until the is done. So you'll never know what time you'll get out. Depending on the year you can work 12 hours or 8 hours. But for the last 3 years you'll never get your bid day off and work 6 days a week. If you dont mind long hours or 6 days a week the job is great. The only other downside it will wear on your body and break you down.
