Still operates like a small business and compensation reflects that. - Programmer L&R Distributors Employee Review

Lots of training, weekly checkups from HR during probation period. Help when needed. Actual work-life balance

I personally don't have any.

Can usually choose and pick what days and time you work. Provides more freedom.

Company is constantly changing their expectations and rules, as in literally weekly. Company has started a teams work call once a week and refuses to record it if not available to be on it because you were literally working on the clock. employees are no longer allowed to input admin time. This is time that is used for scheduling, checking the shipping of your stores, emails, checking teams and connect teams apps. Must either do this all without compensation or while checked into a store as a SFM are now required to work on Saturdays without notice and they want you to be available at the drop of a hat with pay less than working at McDonald’s. There is not much room for growth after this position. The next level up would be District Manager and those positions do not come often. Company also laid off a significant amount of people last year, including a quarter if not half of their DM‘s and are planning to do another round of layoffs for DM’s 2026. Do not see much more room for growth after becoming an SFM. Company does not provide a yearly hourly rate increase. Spring of 2025 I was finally given a 50 Cent raise, same as every other SFM and FM. This was the first raise. I’ve been given three years prior to becoming an SFM.
