Pros

The position was rewarding, with plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and build valuable skills. The company has a strong reputation and provides good training and structure for its employees.

Cons

The work environment could sometimes feel a bit drama- or gossip-filled, which made it challenging at times. While this didn’t take away from the overall experience and only happened occasionally, it did impact the day-to-day atmosphere sometimes.

Pros

Good hands on forklift experience and opportunity to develop warehouse operation skills. Some team members were supportive and easy to work with during day to day tasks.

Cons

Management lacked professionalism and leadership. Workplace culture sometimes felt uncomfortable, with inappropriate joking and comments about female employees. Limited opportunity for overtime, which made it difficult to increase earnings. Overall, the warehouse operations felt disorganised and poorly managed.

Management Problems

Pros

Some warehouse staff are very nice

Cons

Management are genuinely awful people, office bullies are gleefully gang up on anyone they see beneath them. Managers also play favourites constantly, if you aren't in their clique they'll give you the hardest assignments with no help while giving resources to their friends. Once they're target leaves, you might be next to their relentless bullying. Career opportunities don't exist if you don't have the right "look"

Pros

Pay was there if you were willing to have no life. Corporate seemed to want you to have a good time at work.

Cons

To start, I was catfished with this job. Told it was one thing, that my title would be one thing, after I left my job of 6 years and started- title was a lower position. (I have multiple degrees and years of experience) My direct boss - who had the title I was hired for- literally told me he stole from the company, I reported it to the head of our operation- nothing done. Why? Couldnt bear to lose the work horse, staffing was thin. Pretty sure thats why he got my title. This guy was the worst person I could ever think to be in a leadership position, and I have management experience myself. If I tried to course correct him according to company policies, he would make up a reason for me to do busy work. I was literally in a cast due to an injury with a doctor's note to not use my limb for a week and he forced me to use it. He would badmouth anyone not in the room, and would try to talk down to me constantly. I reported this multiple times, nothing was done. Honestly I think he had an issue whenever he felt his position was threatened, because he even spoke poorly of the head of our office to other offices. I left this in my departure packet, I doubt it was turned in. There is no one watching the watchers. You are alone. If this is a family, the smaller branches are the foster kids trying to claw their way through the system. I stayed long enough for the resume experience and then moved on. The other employees stayed in touch with me and were thankful I was out of that situation. It was the worst working experience I have ever had.
