AP Coordinator - Fry Cook TriMark USA Employee Review

Hard work pays off if you want to advance (at least it did for me). I really had to exert myself and had a come-to-Jesus meeting with management letting them know that I seriously needed a pay-raise to make my life goals a reality. That conversation and the positive reputation I had built resulted in me getting an interview and then promotion, which is why I am now a homeowner. I've worked for 11 different companies in my life so far and TriMark was the only place where I stayed more than 2 years. There's a lot of things TriMark can do better, but they absolutely did right by me.

Questionable culture, company is changing and a lot is up in the air. During the interview and onboarding process HR made several errors. Some errors were trivial (typos in the job listing, inaccurate description of particular job duties, telling me to go to the wrong area of the building for the interview) and some were significant (not completing paperwork on TriMark's end thus delaying my starting day, telling me I'll be compensated for my entire missed starting day and then only compensating partially until I sent an email explaining that doing so was unacceptable). The general consensus was that salary and benefits were below average across all positions. TriMark's performance as a business did not justify above average compensation during my tenure so it was to be expected. Over my 2 years I've seen toxic, abusive behavior from a few bad apples both as the direct victim and a bystander. If it happens to you DO NOT tolerate bad treatment, clearly document everything and hold the abuser responsible ASAP. Also, many of the people I worked with did not seem motivated to be excellent at their jobs. Enthusiasm was rare. This toxicity and mediocrity combined made for a questionable work culture my first year. BUT... the company went through major changes and gained new investors in 2024, we all got an email and were pulled into a virtual meeting where we were told that the CEO (Tom Wienclaw) had stepped down with no warning. A lot of the bad apples are no longer with the company. I feel like things have improved significantly but maybe that's because I stopped tolerating mistreatment since I started working here.

Generally well organized company with good customers.

Could use updated technical resources and tools.
