The management simply does not care. For about 6 months there has been frequent acts of vandalism and care break-ins taking place on the property.  Management hasn’t bothered to take basic preventive measures to make employees feel safe or protect their property.  The building has no access control so, the thrives can walk in at anytime.  

Doing things like adding additional security, installing cameras outside of the facility, and reimbursing employees for their negligence is the VERY LEAST that they could do.  However, they’ve failed to do so.  Something is not clean in the milk here.  It seems that corporate is also lacking as well.  

There are no processes set in place, everything is through word of mouth.  The equipment needs upgrading.  All of the forklifts are powered by propane and they expect the employees to change them out without proper training.  That’s extremely dangerous.

The building has NO climate control.  In the winter time it’s really hard to work because our hands can be too stiff to move.  The heat is unbearable during the summer and spring.  

Management continues to be dishonest about fixing the issues that are going on in the building which is why the turnover rate is so high here.  

There are great employees that work here, but I think better management is long overdue.  The current management has got to go.

Is a waste of time and energy unless you just need quick money for the time being. Management is non-existent and can’t even interact or show appreciation to the people on the floor scrambling to get the job complete. The leads and workers get the job done while the supervisors and management relax in the air conditioned office, and every once in awhile will take a quick lap around the warehouse on a golf cart without acknowledging anyone. Supervisors believe copying and pasting the schedule and answering call offs over text is what their job consists of. 

No benefits at all, and overtime isn’t even time and a half; just a couple extra dollars on the hour. 

No pay raises to look forward to, and barely any room to advance unless you want to become an overworked lead. 

They take advantage of and use the hard workers until they lose them, but let the average workers do nothing and collect the same amount paycheck. There is no reward for those with good work ethic, and no consequence for those with poor work ethic. This explains the lack of motivation in the employees and the high turn over rate. They believe anyone can be replaced, and do not value their workers. 

Don’t waste your time, and end up with nothing to show for.  I wish I could get the years back I wasted working for this company. 



Where do I start? They don't check the backgrounds of their drivers, hired a convicted sexual predator that did not have their hazmat to haul crude.  Pay you more to NOT drive than to haul crude. You are paid $20 hr when there isn't a truck to drive, or it breaks down.  When you are hauling, the amount of hours that you work for the compensation that you receive equals out to about $15 an hr, if your are lucky.  The Kermit terminal, is almost all white, so if you have any color to you, you will have problems.  Water drivers are paid hourly, crude paid by the load, it pays to haul water, which makes no sense.  They purchased all new equipment for over the road, and not made for the rugged conditions of the oil fields in West Texas, so things like drive shafts and A/C's break down frequently.  And the best part, the $2000 a week that the recruiter told you is common to make, HAH!  You are lucky if you bring home $2000 every two weeks, and that's when you run a good 6-8 loads a day, if you can get them.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is NOTHING good about working for the company they do you wrong in so many ways they do not care about their employees at all. There is no job security and way to much under cover things going on in the company to ever be comfortable or in an unstressed position in employment and personal life if I could rate no stars I would. So disappointed because when I started it was great then EVERYTHING went downhill. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
EVERYTHING!!!!!  No job security constant schedule changing problems with pay favoritism 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mixed culture but a lot of favoritism power trips and positions belong to ppl that don’t deserve it and the ones that do don’t receive it 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful confusing unorganized depressing

Alan Richey in Southaven, MS is not the place to work especially long term. This place is constantly hiring, always a revolving door. Management, should better say the manager is not a good business person. She is out of touch with her staff. Work schedules changes all the time, without any concern for the employees. The only good thing about this job is the pay is decent, but that is it. Your hours  can change at anytime, which will mess with your money. This use to be a good place to work, now I would tell anyone to run fast and don't look back. Also, no human resource person on site, no one to actually hear out the employees and make change. Whoever  heard of the manager, the one you won't to complain about is the person you have to report the issue too. And, don't even think of about calling corporate. No numbers to call and no one to help as they think the leader can do no wrong. 

Task-wise, this may be the easiest job one could work, but the work environment is among the worst I’ve ever experienced and many of my co-workers agree, in frustration. The supervisors and managers do not communicate with the workers at the job and no one is ever on the same page. The managers and supervisors never have meetings and leave their workers out to dry by doing the following: badgering employees, displaying favoritism, poorly communicating important information to leads and workers, not providing work perks/incentives, and much more. The employment turnover rate here has been poor and continues to get worse; new employees are hired and some leave within a few weeks or less of being hired. Also, many employees who have worked here for years have either left or are looking to leave very soon. I’d advise anyone looking to work here to take this review into consideration when applying for this job.

To be honest I could never learn anything because nobody seems to know what they are doing. Also, the favoritism is what makes me itch because everybody I work with is either related or just a straight up misleading and miserable individuals. This place does not amuse me it annoys me and makes me feel out of the crowd. There is no team work here just a bunch of lazy, silly and schizophrenic folks. Most of these people refuse to show some respect especially when it comes to certain language being used. The managers are my worst nightmare and is quick to let people go.  I wish I had never met some people especially when it comes to my time being here. I wasted my time working here but at least I have done my best here even though it is shutting down soon. 

I worked at the Plainfield Indiana location for approximately 4 months I have never been to a place that has such terrible management my first day I had going threw training my training lasted 5 minutes and was told your on your own when I would make a mistake the would just come with a write up I requested my sons birthday off on a Saturday the had denied it and said no one gets Saturday’s off unles it’s for religious purposes they leafs and supervisors will make false accusations unles you are really close friends with them when you are talked to about it you are confused because you don’t know what they are talking about and when you ask for proof they do not have to show it to you papers you there is no safety team there is no employee appreciation the management team there is terrible

I have to make people aware, should of looked past this job, and read the reviews. Corporate owners are micromanagers. Only care about money and no way care about employees. No paid time off for a year, benefits are astronomical. Yell at employees in front of everyone a lot of gossip when corporate folks come to the facility. Isolating you and making you feel uncomfortable. Want to you to be dedicated to them and work 7 days a week once you don't play their game they start leaving you in the dark, Greatly unorganized and just want to flood the place with people because there is a high turnover rate, they are under contract and there will be no future here as they can get up pack their things and leave at anytime. 

Before applying for the job and accepting the job offer, expect to only be given part time hours because the work load is slow and steady most of the time. Every now and then, the warehouse will become extremely busy for a day or two out of the week when there a multiple truckload that arrive at the same time. Beware of supervisors and managers who have toxic personalities and will play favorites among certain employees who have worked for the company for a long time. Some supervisors  will ask for volunteers at the beginning or middle of a shift because they assume that the employees are "lazy and don't want to work", which is not true at all. However, the warehouse is a good place to work for a decent paycheck.
