Zero communication with management, unless they need something answered right away. You might spend 3-4 hours in the morning waiting to load your truck, then you are allowed to start your day. The pay is ridiculous! You will drive 60 miles to make $3 for a delivery, using your vehicle, your gas, and your wear, tear and time. If you drive fast enough, and make all of your deliveries, you can earn around $150 a day; but then you will need to subtract your vehicle/fuel costs. Have a flat tire, no pay. You are not allowed to call in sick or have a family emergency. 

If you work here, you will receive no benefits, no overtime, no vacation, holiday etc. You will have Sunday off.

When you have to start your day before 5am, you try to go to bed early; only to have someone from "customer service" call you at 9pm to ask you about a delivery you made a week ago.  

As soon as i find another job, I'm out.

1st Choice is a company that has the potential to grow but because they don’t value their contractors who are the ones that get the job done on a day-to-day basis. The morale is very  low and contractors are frustrated. There’s a lack accountability on the owners part. There’s a lack of educating their management team. There’s a lack in a having a system in place that teaches new delivery drivers how things are done so that they can make sure that they succeed, not having a  system in place for success only ensures failure. Overall they just don’t care about the people. They only care that the job gets done so that they can continue to reap the rewards.

Love the job itself. Problem lies communication at corporate. If there are problems for drivers regarding pay or when you need to get in touch with someone regarding contracts there is no one to be found. I signed contracts a couple years ago and the company came in and changed all independent contractors contracts without authorization and not giving them new contracts. Pretty close to toeing the line as employees rather than contractors if you ask me but still having to cover all vehicle costs and gas yourself. Basically leave the warehouse managers to cover everything instead of communicating to the drivers. 

First Choice is a good company you do work a lot of hours meet a lot of people which is really good thing. Biuld a lot of good relationships with the customers and the staff knows that work the line the whole business model is very good. the staff really know what they're doing. The management is right on top of it aInterstellar in in any position at any time including the delivery side of it and can take over at any time any part of the line would ask any question to them and they have a solid answer to help me I would have liked to been able to move up in that company

What is the best part of working at the company?
My experience working for this company was terrible. Very little or no support from senior management.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long hours, unable to bring in additional employees due to low wages.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Contractors were great. The problem again was senior management and being misinformed regarding the company's plans for the future.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sixteen to eighteen hour days. No overtime, no pay increases, no appreciation shown for employees.

You are required to do a lot whether you are an hourly employee or an independent contractor. Not all management is bad but there is a definite lack of caring about their employees. I would say its more on the CEO level verses each individual branch. They don't give the good workers enough credit and keep the bad ones far too long which just brings down moral until eventually no one cares anymore. You have to work most holidays which are rarely paid. I feel it has potential to be a great place but they need to be more about the employees.

As independent contractor for First Choice Delivery St Louis, working in the local Warehouse of Columbia Missouri, I would review this job as difficult as well as rewarding. I myself care deeply about my customers and vendors that I deliver for. Therefore, my customers think highly of my delivery skills and customer service. The management and administration or not a very good communicator with its employees so, you must be a self-starter and have common sense.

None Company Employees dictate how things are done in and around there warehouse's. Courier operation trying to become full fledged LTL company at the same time. All consideration/attention given to none employees. No organization, No communication, Nightly Line Hall Driver's are Unable to contact anyone in management when issues come up and they will! Many more problems with this place than can be listed here. Time will tell, get proper people in place. Maybe. Can only imagine if driver involved in accident and cannot reach owner, manager's super.

Thisis a terrible place to work for. The hours and labor does not compensate the work load at all. The equipment is terrible always breaking down. The management is horrible no reviews given and you have to beg for a raise. You get no paid time off you have to accept missing that money for the day. No communication on how the night will go about its always last minute effort. The company always award you with more work but no pay raise. This is one of the worse places you can work.

No a company.
Investment group. 
It's mission is to make money by any means necessary. The only policies or rules is not to lose a penny. Make money even if it's damaging. 
No leadership, coaching, direction. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing because upper Management won't listen. Middle and entry Managers are forced to be unethical of lose their job. HR lacks any support for employees. Everyone just does what is needed to avoid losing the job they've performed for years before the group took over.
