Okay so first I would like to start off with my review reflects Escanaba,MI and Madison,WI. I cannot vouch for any other Warehouse. I have been working here for nine months now and I started as a part time/sub driver and am now a full time driver. When I first started here I will admit that there where many hair pulling, teeth gritting, head shaking, face palming, gut wrenching moments of SERIOUSLY!!! However every business has its kinks that need to be worked out, every branch of that business as well. That being said, the management that we are now under is a very good boss. There are still kinks but we work together (at least attempt to) to work those kinks out. The one thing about being in a business like this is EVERYTHING is about team work, and if you can’t be a team player then this job isn’t a place for you. No there are no benefits with this job, other than interacting with your customers and your co-workers ( which sometimes is trying). The benefit of alone time and silence (forgiving the noise of the road). Garauntee home every night with family. Local routes. Good pay. However there are many many places that don’t offer benefits (medical, dental, and vision) and are still good places to work for, and don’t even touch our starting pay rate. Our management cares about us (drivers, and warehouse workers alike.)

If you are desperate and if you like to be manipulated if you have no self confidence and would like to be lied to then this job is just for you, I wouldn't say that they try to discriminate but they definitely have their favorites you have to wait 3 weeks to get paid and on top of that you have to keep track of your hours because their computer system sucks I know drivers that work there for awhile and they told me watch your hours they don't pay overtime until you hit 48 hours,crazy stuff I ever heard and the time clock is the biggest bs in the world I guess somebody has a hard time doing math there (stay in school kids)this is not a good job for anybody that's looking for a  career and respect, if u have a class A or B dont waste your time no benefit,no 401k,no profit sharing,no vacation time or holiday pay, just them playing with your time and a check have more self respect for yourself  these guys here are not in the least honest about things so good luck if you decide to work here,I'm much happier now and would never go back to a place like this. Fyi never work at a job that pays 13 for out of state delivery just be independent

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. Employee turn-over on night shift is beyond frustrating. Supervisors changed 3 times in 4 months, including a month without a supervisor, which sounds good, but isn't. Very poor warehouse equipment. Very poor.. It's about as chaotic, and mismanaged as it gets... 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Chaotic start each night & Lack of quality help... (night shift slack standards). Poor attendance. Very poor.. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company will fault you for anything they dream up.. The employees are so miserable they jump at a chance to complain about childish matters. Professionalism is non-existant. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stress and more stress.

FIND A DIFFERENT JOB. You can do much better. This is the worst company I have ever worked for. If you have a problem with somthing dont say anything or you will get called a whiner and treated poorly by middle management.High turnover. Bad pay, very long hours, I worked 10-15 hours everyday. No benefits at all. And somehow they pay overtime after 48 hours. Can guarantee alot of the stuff they do is not legal. Trucks are nasty and never cleaned or maintained for a safe work vehicle. Constantly coming in to work in the morning and having to do the 3rd shift warehouse job of sorting mail because they left t early or didnt show up..You have to wait for a truck almost everyday. There is never enough scanners for all the drivers.

DO NOT WORK HERE!  Absolutely NO benefits and management will lie straight to your face and they'll do it more than once because they think the drivers are idiots.  It's all about the mighty dollar there for THEIR pocket and nothing else.  Call in sick?  They'll make you feel guilty about it and whine because you're sick and BEG you to come in to work.  NO paid sick days....NO paid holidays.....NO paid vacations.....NO insurance benefits.  Turnover rate is extremely high, for obvious reasons.  Owner and management should be ashamed of themselves but they're all in the same "good 'ol boys" club.  They'll pat each other on the back but screw the drivers....and that's a FACT.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The customers, for the most part, are wonderful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Untrustworthy remote management.

There is no local manager in the remote offices. Daily managerial tasks are left undone or delegated to the drivers.

Equipment is poorly maintained and left to operate when safety is very much in question.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most coworkers were good to work with every day.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It consisted of driving, loading and unloading 50 lbs bags and bins, and short interactions with customers.

This job I enjoy quite a bit.  I only want to get a different job because of the circumstances I had to go through to get the job.  I had to have hip replacement surgeries.  I obviously had to quit my previous job while having and recovering from these.  Each day after I recovered and didn't have a job it made it harder to get a new job.  At Alliance Courier the owner said "You had to have a job to get a job"  I knew this completely.  I have worked the stipulated time in order to get the job and I would like get a job closer to my home.

You have to understand that you are a courier and this means you may have to continually lift fairly heavy objects throughout the day...in turn takes a strong back.  They also do medical and graphics delivery for smaller vehicles.  All in all the people including other drivers are great people to work for and with, their dispatch is excellent, always thinking about the best route for the drivers in order to make it on time and save you on gas and unnecessary miles.

Sort mail and load trucks in an often unsafe and freezing cold environment.
Not a single person doing anything involved with this place thinks for a single second about how those actions will affect the next person.
Place is constantly left a mess, drivers need baby-sitting, management gives zero cares about anyone or anything besides getting mail out.
Paychecks come an entire MONTH after work is done instead of a week after a 2 week period.
Hours are extremely unreliable.

Let's just say this is where dreams go to die. Management at this company is just flat out terrible and rude, there's no proper training these guys give you a day or two of training them expect you to be excelled in the job already. Management doesn't care about your personal life, no no not at Alliance. It's about what they want theres no room for family emergencies or personal days its your job and everything else doesn't matter to them.
