This job is rough. I'll be incredibly frank. For a driving position, you'll be doing a lot of physical labor involving stacking and unstacking products at the appropriate delivery location, unless you luck out and are given a route that has a good amount of pallets to drop. There may be stairs you'll have to deliver either up or down, sometimes involving multiple flights. There may be elevators that may or may not work correctly. Some of the delivery locations are complicated due to the complexity of the layout of the location. Other locations may be street level and are incredibly easy. It'll be the luck of the draw. A select few locations may have a conveyor belt or slide system that will be required to use for the delivery. You will make overtime here and it's regularly expected that you will be okay with that. 

Typical day starts with punching in and receiving your paperwork. The paperwork is a manifest with delivery locations, time windows, phone numbers and any specific special instructions for that location. 
Whether it's ready after you punch in or not is heavily influenced by the warehouse employees abilities to have the paperwork ready and hopefully the truck loaded. You will need to download the route onto the company's handheld scanning device to be able to scan the items for your stops. It is expected that you will check out your assigned truck for the day, making sure to pre-trip as well as assess your equipment (electric pallet jack and hand trucks) are good to go for the day. When you get to customer locations, you are expected to greet them and deliver the products in a safe, efficient manner. If you have any issues while on the road you're expected to call dispatch or management in a timely manner. 

At the end of the day, you're expected to document any returns on the returns sheet, have the vehicle inspection report done, have the pallets neatly stacked in the truck and the equipment plugged in so it can be charged and hopefully ready to go for the following day. 

The management leaves much to be desired to put it politely. They'll try to handle you as if you were a person, but at the end of the day you're just a number and a means to an end. This used to be a family friendly company but that has seemingly gone away. There used to be an enormous amount of older drivers at the company but that has dwindled in recent times. Even some managers have left recently. Upper management has really shaken things up and not in a positive way. 

You're expected to work your butt off and you are highly scrutinized here. The amount of stops you make and how long you're on location are recorded. The cabins all have cameras in them, the trucks are GPS monitored and you are expected to document any unnecessarily long stops outside of your lunch break. There is tremendous pressure to perform well here. 

The routing department also seems to be downright awful. Between completely unrealistic estimated delivery window timeframes, botching delivery windows in general, and questionable routing decisions will often leave you frustrated. Sometimes you'll have five customers in the same general area, sometimes on the same street and you'll have an outlier delivery outside the immediate vicinity only to have to come back to the area you're in. Yet these places all usually have overlapping scheduled delivery windows. Depending on your experience level as a driver with the company, you may get admonished for deciding to reroute your deliveries. 

The equipment here can be hit or miss. The vast majority of trucks at Ace Endico are leased. They update the fleet every so often, yet the reality is that you're likely to get assigned a crappier truck as a newer driver. You'll be most likely truck hopping for several months before you get assigned a specific route and truck. I strongly encourage you to write up any and all defects you find on your vehicles in a timely manner and stay on top of them. A vehicle break down can really mess up your work day as there are several moving parts that need to spin up before they get someone out to you which could worst case scenario be several hours. Usually biggest issues on the majority of trucks are lift gates and reefers going down. You'll drive your truck for five days a week usually, but you'll have some other guy in your truck for that one day you're off and they'll manage to screw with stuff or damage it because they don't have an obligation to maintain that truck. Expect to have to hunt down equipment sometimes in the morning if a driver doesn't like the delivery equipment you keep on your truck. In the past, pallet jacks and hand trucks were assigned to drivers, yet the company converted the storage area used for the equipment so all equipment went out to the trucks and it arguably a bad decision. 

One of the hardest aspects of the job, is that you're mostly working alone. It is very rare to have a helper on a route. Sometimes, dispatch may call you to see if you don't mind helping a driver in need of help either because of their workload or a breakdown, but the majority of drivers will not help you out. That's just the culture here. Every man and woman for themselves. 

Lastly the best part of the company is honestly the availability of overtime. If you like putting in long hours away from family and friends it's definitely a selling point. Also asking for some time off in advance is fairly painless as long as you give them ample time in advance to accommodate it. If you're a hard worker and want to make hours this may be a great fit for you, just don't burn yourself out. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free food certain days, working with interesting people. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The night crew drives recklessly, and management is disorganized and incompetent. You’re just another cog in their machine, a number to be exploited. After quitting, they terminated me days after my notice period ended, preventing me from receiving reimbursement for my paid time off. They never informed me that I would need to work overtime after my scheduled shift to complete orders. Additionally, their training for higher-level positions is inadequate. The workplace culture is extremely stressful, and my department allows employees to call out and leave early frequently. However, if you work hard during your initial months and start doing the same, they’ll try to retaliate against you immediately.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic management. Depending your department you’ll have really cool coworkers 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Generally pretty busy during certain seasons. Otherwise it can be pretty dead and you’re doing nothing.

Working as an order selector at a food distribution warehouse has been a rewarding and enriching experience. The fast-paced environment helped me develop strong time management and organizational skills, as I was responsible for accurately picking and assembling orders to meet tight deadlines. I took pride in maintaining efficiency and accuracy, knowing that my role directly impacted the timely delivery of essential food items to grocery stores and other clients. The physical nature of the job kept me active, and I enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came with completing challenging shifts. I also valued the teamwork involved; I had the opportunity to work alongside dedicated colleagues who supported one another and contributed to a positive work culture. Over time, I became more confident in using warehouse equipment such as pallet jacks and RF scanners, and I appreciated the opportunity to grow professionally in a role that required both responsibility and reliability.

My experience working for this company was down right horrible after the pandemic they really only cared about making money and could care less about the employees. They cut hours/pay during the pandemic like every other company did at the time but did not offer those hours/pay back when the company started to pick back up in business. Management/supervisor is a joke they put people in those positions who either have been there for a long time or just have a degree, but have never had management training/experience.  They give off “family” vibes but have no interest in that. Moving your way up within the company does not exist you can have all the motivation, and work ethic and offer your soul and they will keep you in the same horrible position. The worst part about this company is that it’s so divided. You think that as a family owned business they would want to work together and join in the effort of making the employees they already have happy, but all you get is more disappointment. 

My experience at Ace Endico has been disheartening and frustrating, primarily due to several critical issues that have severely impacted both my job satisfaction and overall performance.
The HR management at Ace Endico is a significant weak point. There seems to be a complete lack of structure and support when it comes to handling employee concerns and facilitating a positive work environment. 
 New hires are left to flounder without proper guidance, leading to confusion and inefficiencies. 
In summary, Ace Endico needs an overhaul in its HR practices, training programs, and overall management approach. The combination of poor HR management, inadequate training, and a culture of favoritism has created a work environment that is far from supportive or productive. I hope the company takes these issues seriously and makes necessary changes for the betterment of its employees and overall organizational health.

I really liked the staff and managers I worked with, there was a definite family feel because everyone worked together as a team and tried to help each other. I made a lot of connections at Ace Endico that i will keep in contact with. 
They offer great benefits also, I was surprised at how cheap the health insurance was and they also had free life insurance and other insurance plans you could add if you wanted additional coverage. 
There is a lot of room for advancement in many departments, I started in an entry level position and was able to get promoted to a new position after a few months. As long as you have good work ethic and are willing to put in a lot of effort it is easy to get promoted, especially if you are flexible about what department you want to work in. 
The company is growing and hiring more people also and they seem to be trying to make improvements to help employees quality of life. I would work here again, the only reason i resigned was due to a family relocation. 

Worked 3 months in Credit Dept thru 3rd party agency assignment

Goods: Team atmosphere and active communication with other depts., lots of parking space, area well-kept.

Opportunities: Training/Pay/Salespeople - There was a lot of turnover/dismissals before and while employed there, pay not enough to compensate for amount of workload as most accounts require active reviews. Lack of proper training at the beginning  as there was a lot of observing and to deal with the salespeople/account managers, need to push them and communicate extensively in order to bring delinquent accounts up to date. 

Dept. is short-staffed and work can be overwhelming so be prepared to learn quickly but the culture difficult to grasp the concept, workflow and new system, especially for new employees – this was the discouraging part aside from the manager telling you things once and expected to understand right away.




I have worked here for several years and beginning to look elsewhere. The company was great to work for but over the past 2 years the growth which I understand is needed, has destroyed the family environment into a Corporate machine. Majority of the management has never been a cdl driver or at least got into a truck and rode a few days with a driver to see issues first hand. Document issues as much as you want but nothing will change, not even a phone call to discuss the issue.. the new safety department is backwards. Led by a non cdl manager reviewing cdl drivers and many employees in the safety department have had accidents, tickets, and poor attendance yet they are out there to oversee your safety. I don’t want to leave but I’m constantly watching over my shoulder.At least that’s how a lot of drivers feel now. it’s a shame because the older management was respectful, knowledgeable and had the experience. The new wave makes us feel like a temp worker.

Management for the Maintenance Dept.  was a joke.  You got managers who do absolutely nothing all day there that expect the most out of their Maintenance crew and don’t want you talking amongst fellow coworkers within your own department or using your phone,  and will start you at such a low pay rate that you will be there for years before ever making what you’re worth and will never have any opportunity for advancement in the company whatsoever because the managers who literally do nothing all day are eating up an enormous amount of salary while treating you like some felon with 2 strikes on their record.  

-Clock in
-Learn nothing from managers because they do NOT want to work OR do not know the answers.  Best bet is to find a veteran employee who can help you
-Management is the WORST I have ever seen, and I have worked in some large corporations.  They have no interest in helping you with ANY category / problem.
-Hardest part was being treated like a peasant.  
-Most enjoyable part was clocking out!!!!!
