ARMADA

Most the entry level coordinators are subtly encouraged to compete against each other and becuase of that there is poor teamwork. Employees on my own team seemed more interested in blaming others to make themselves seem better rather than solving issues. I belive this poor behavior is learned from upper management as well. Management is quick to place blame on coordinators for problems they should have been aware of. Some coordinators are paid slightly more than others. Most coordinators are forced to come in 5 times a month but one girl never had to come in becaue she lost her license. It bothered me that while others were busting their butt to come 5 times a month, a select few were rewarded for terrible reasons. They used to serve free lunch on thursdays but they stopped doing that most of the time. Pay is low compared to many other similar positions in the area. Has the potential to be great, but laziness of upper management holds them back as well as a competitive workplace culture. My team was without a proper manager for months. As soon as the new manager was hired he immediately began placing his poor perfomance on coordinators rather than just working with them. Dealing with upper management was a disaster and this forced me to find a higher paying job.

Armada is a company that supports a younger, more progressive, work culture. That being said, they also support lower wages and company functions geared toward single workers with no children. 

While the work can sometimes be very demanding, you can gain an exceptional amount of experience and move to other departments in the company. Promotions are mostly given to younger workers with advanced degrees (education is more important than experience at Armada).

Management can be hit or miss. There are some managers that are very knowledgeable and there are others that you wonder how they ever got their position. The company often has purges where they will suddenly decide a position is no longer needed and terminate one or more managers at the same time.

Overall, if you are looking for experience to add to your resume, this is an excellent company to work for. If you are looking to further your career and expect a livable wage, I would strongly recommend against taking a job with them.

As a growing company you encounter the typical problems.  It was a good place to start a carrier in logistics but fails to have a concrete development/training program.  
Management/Ownership has changed and seems to be steering the company in a different direction.
Pay for most is not the best but is a livable wage.  Lunches are provided on Thursdays and they do provide a Rec room with some recreational activities.
It is a job with the busiest and most difficult time being around the holidays.
The most enjoyable part of the job is commiserating with your coworkers and that work never stops and your day does pass quickly.

Armada’s management team is honestly a joke. They literally hire individuals who have graduated from online colleges which aren’t even accredited, what’s the point of me going to a four year college and earning a master’s degree when I can graduate from DeVry University and work in management here. If you are someone who doesn’t enjoy organization, structure, proper work relationships, peace, or class, this company will align with you. Overall this company has toxic individuals associated to it the very worst I hade ever seen and I’ve been in logistics 25+ years. Beware this is definitely a cat mouse job not a career high at all!

If you're just looking for an entry level job after you earn your degree, this might be the place for you. Be warned that the work tends to be fast paced and mentally exhausting. It doesn't seem like the company has a clear vision to reduce the workload or increase efficiency during the supply chain crisis. Feels very much like endlessly treading water until you drown in work. 

Pay is meh. Used to have a better culture, but management is too afraid to really open up the offices again, so working from home heavily detracts from a sense of teamwork and belonging. 

Come in, do pre-shift meeting, how many loaded vs how many left to load. (1st to 2nd shift) Once thats out the way, we do stretches and proceed to pick up a scanner tool. Then, grab your lift truck. Check-in with the lead and either be in: inbound, outbound or put-away or even the dreadful picking. Unless you’re picking full pallets. Then, that’s sweet. Another sweet job title is Auditor. But besides that everyone is just relaxed laid back on their phones even. Apart from the usual drug paraphernalia. Unless you crash you should be golden. 40k a year. Not bad easy work. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and the culture. Top notch!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is nothing stressful. If there are normal challenges from time to time, the company collaborates to find a swift solution to support.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Outstanding and very collaborative. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No two days are alike! It keeps it interesting.

The culture is relaxed and everyone within the company is friendly.  That being said, the company does not offer competitive wages.  If you work hard to make your business unit a success, it will not be reflected in your salary.  I am currently paid hourly and would lose money if I were to be promoted because the company does not factor overtime pay in when evaluating raises for promotions.  Only base salary is considered.

It is a quiet place to work.  There is only one undesirable supervisor who thinks he is an expert and sarcastically belittles employees. The manager offered to raise my salary to $ 18.00 for working on the train cars and after I accepted, I did not pay what was agreed and only offered different excuses.  There is no opportunity for growth.

I worked 2nd shift at Armada for a long time then when they started the 3rd shift the supervisor asked me to go as well so I did well I ended up hurting myself which was a legit accident passed drug test they watched the videos numerous times and didn’t see any foul play well when I was released to go back to work their whole demeanor changed towards me
