A2b-Fulfillment

I started working at a2b in August 2022 and worked there for a little over a year at first. In the beginning, the job was just what I needed. Mon-Fri, mornings at a decent start time (8:30am), they payed $16/hr and their PTO policy was amazing (48hrs notice minimum). I saw people come and go, thinking nothing of it as it did not really affect me personally. I worked day in and day out, no real issues every now and again. There were slow days and peak season 2022 was busy but not overwhelming. Clients come and go but it wasn't a big deal usually because sometimes it just meant we lost a few orders per day.

Summer 2023 came, new client signed on to do business with and they had some teething issues. One day I started feeling burnt out, and then stressing about it over a few weeks then put in my 2 weeks notice because peak season was not gonna be great. I leave to go work another job, then returned in February 2024 after peak. I was a good employee that they hired me back on without a 2nd thought.

Some changes happened since I left and came back, some supervisors and team leads left and processes changed. As the weeks flew by I noticed the system would start going down once a week, fewer pieces of equipment were working and it was not a well run ship overall compared to even a few years ago. I wasn't even upset with how few orders or how slow it was, it was more stressful that the servers go down once a week. When the backend was down, nobody could pick orders or pack them because some equipment was tied to said system and that meant we couldn't do our job.

There are other big issues at my location, like favoritism and high school attitudes from some coworkers. But it wasn't that big of a deal compared to the job itself, and the job was no longer fulfilling to me

You will only advance or get recognition if you treat management and the executives like they are the most important people in the world. Sharing any thoughts that don't support everything they say and do will get you canned. They get rid people on a regular basis and do mass layoffs every six months. You can be bad at your job but will still get raises if you pretend to worship the ground the executives walk on. Health insurance for a small family will cost you $16k a year and have really bad coverage options. It's hard to explain how clicky this place is because it is so bad! They are so worried about money that they don't heat the place in the winter or cool it in the summer. Workers are just pieces of garbage to throw away to them. They use a temp agency so they don't care how many people come and go. They don't care about the employees at all. The people that work hard but don't worship the management will get fired for not being happy enough. 

At the start of the day management walks past the warehouse employees and only say good morning to specific people, like others aren't gonna notice.  What a way to start the day.  They have very few fans cooling this gigantic warehouse.  They are constantly bragging own more clients coming in but they're stuck on paying people $8 an hour with a 25 cent raise in a year, no matter how hard you work and how good your attendance is.  They hire unprofessional people and make them supervisors. The supervisor then talk about employees to other employees. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! The supervisor has relatives working under her.  Nothing but favoritism shown. The rules are different for each type of employee.  Unless you are starving, let A2B Fulfullment Inc. be your last stop.

Working at A2b was pretty easy mentally but physically demanding which is great if you like that sort of thing like I do. 

However, management is clueless as to how to actually manage people effectively. A lot of lies when it came to expectations and punishment if you even had the thought of saying something less than glowing about management. 

The only way to get promoted is by being related to one of the managers or shamelessly flirting with leadership. Was kind of sad to watch. The pay rate is pretty low, and there’s no actual planning in regards to workloads each day. If you’re going to work here I’d say stick around to get trained on a forklift (if you’re not already trained) then get out of there as soon as possible. 

Either busy or slow, when slow we had more than enough associates, and sent people home early all of the time. When busy we were short handed and management did not help with other departments, micro management and lack of communication. Favoritism to those who brown nosed. You could work 5-6 days a week, never call in sick or take days off besides vacation, and they did give credit to those who worked hard, were accountable, and responsible.If you want to make low pay and never know if you will get your full hours, and very little chance of advancement. Good luck!

I wouldn't have taken this job if I knew the true colors of management. You have to know management on a personal level in order to get favoritism. Management will treat you any way they please and you'll end up fired because they cant handle their own stuff handed right back at them. Management says they care and they really dont management talks bad on every employee. Getting assaulted and harassed is perfectly ok here. This place is not worth a breath to work for. I feel bad for the owner because he really doesnt know what is going on with his employees. Oh and management blames the owner and higher ups for everything and cant take credibility for their own mistakes. 

The typical workday at a2b can be very busy but never hectic as it is a teamwork environment. I've learned a lot about the diverse makeup of the various teams at a2b. Management is progressive and always works to make the culture of a2b one in which each person feels valued - mutual respect is a strong component of the work atmosphere. The hardest part of the job is adjusting to the seasons and the weather when it is mid-winter or mid-summer.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the interaction with the various team members throughout the organization. It is fun getting to know the person and their story!

A typical day at work is usually fast paced and requires you to perform a variety of tasks from cleaning to packaging customer orders. This job has taught me how to perform in high pressure situations. For example, an order may need to go out immediately and it essential for us to meet the deadline. Also,I have learned how to problem solver and think "quick on my feet". For example, an order may have missing products and we have to find a way to retrieve the products without any hassle. The most difficult part of my job was withstanding hot temperatures during the summer time. However, these working conditions have taught me how to work in harsh conditions.

I worked really hard and improved many processes in my time there however, if plant management doesn't like you, you may as well just leave. You will always be on their list of gripes. They will work to fire you or alienate you. I suggest every single employee double and triple check their paychecks, shady practices are happening. Don't even bother trying to advance, it doesn't work. They do not hire within ethically. They already know who they want to hire based on likeability, not on skill. No sympathy, no empathy and no second chances. I would not recommend working there. 

The comapny has been around but really it feels like a new company. There is no value in the employees, its unethical and limited advancement.  You may be sucessful if you are willing to work 60 hours a week with no bonus.
