Alpine Food Distributing, Inc.

This company will steal your spark. Poorest Management I have ever worked with. Refuses to hold employees accountable for their mistakes out of fear of losing the few people they can hold onto. There is no where near enough racking and floor space to accomodate the inbound and outbound of orders. Penny pinchers, they refuse to put money into the broken and outdated equipment that is constantly having issues. They would rather employees stand around over providing enough equipment for their extremely busy needs. Will not take advice from the few employees who have worked there for an extended time. Constantly taking away privileges as ways to solve issues instead of actually looking at the heart of the problem. About the only positive I have for them is they will work with you if you need extended periods of time off. Underpaid and overworked. you'll come home emotionally and physically drained... if they let you leave.

Alpine food distribution is a good place to work if you’re just starting to get into the Warehouse career path. However, if you have experience or if you’ve worked with other companies and find yourself applying at Alpine, you might want to consider going somewhere else if hourly rate is important to you. They start you at one rate and promise for increasing in the near future, but that promise is not fulfilled. They do have health benefits, medical dental, but also pair you at the county health facility. Over all my time at Alpine distribution has been satisfactory, but has left a desire to further my career with a different company. All in all if you need a job and your limited, I would definitely accept, but if you’re looking for a career, I would keep looking.

Work is easy and most people on the floor are good. 

watch out for slimey management though. they'll find everyway they can to short your pay, exclude you from bonuses or incentives, refuse to give any pay raise.

They also call their 52hr of PTO which includes sick time "generous" 

benefits are garbage high deductible kaiser.

Experienced operators can expect to be promised top pay in the interview only to be offered 90% of advertised top wage. 

there's no soap in the bathrooms.
they do not provide hand warmers 
they have gloves for chill work but not freezer

I would recommend any operator steer clear. This is the lowest paying company in this industry and area. 

I have been at Alpine for a few years now, and in a few different positions, and I can strongly say that I am so proud to be working at Alpine! The people are unmatched in personality, each day is a new challenge to tackle with the team, and I’m genuinely excited to come to work every day. This is my first time in the food industry and Alpine has opened my eyes to the process of food getting to consumers, and I’m learning constantly, especially when we get to try some foods haha! Overall, a job is a job, it’s going to have ups and downs, but definitely consider applying to Alpine if you strive for a career in the food industry

Working at Alpine over the last year and a half has been a rewarding experience since day one.  The coworkers and management team are all extremely supportive, and there is real collaboration across departments.  No company is perfect; there are tougher days than others, but that also means there are easier ones as well.  If you are looking to work at a company where you are a number rather than a person, then this is not the company for you.  One of the things I appreciate most about this company is the work-life balance.  This is not the norm for the majority of companies out there today.  

I was a lineworker, working for, Alpine foods. Sorting cranberries, rotating every half hour, down to boxing, and sealing up the boxes. After they were weighed, and pushing them through, the taper, to be palletized. Sometimes had to, make your own boxes, in between our spare time, when the line stops. Then we would wait, to fill up, the line again, with cranberries. Lots of friendly faces, and hard workers, who were always on time.

Working at Alpine Foods felt less like a job and more like a test of how much disorganization and lack of accountability one person can tolerate. Communication from management was nearly nonexistent unless you were being blamed for something outside your control. Injuries or legitimate issues? You’re more likely to get written up or ignored than supported. The workload is back-breaking, the appreciation is nonexistent, and if you’re expecting fairness—don’t. This job taught me a lot, mostly about how not to treat employees.

GM and warehouse manager actively work against employees.  They drive staff hard, belittle them and treat them with contempt.  The pay is not good, and you're working in sub zero temperatures.
Gloves provided to staff to work in the freezer are heat resistant gloves, not cold weather gloves; and management knew this, forcing employees to purchase their own gloves to keep from getting frost bite.
Overall, the people are cool, but management just does not care and often time throws obstacles in the way of peoples' opportunities for success instead of helping them out.

Typical day may vary depending on where your route is going, how its loaded and what obstacles you may encounter along the way out bound and in. Schedule may be local, short haul, and long haul(Regional). Schedule for next work day is sent out in an email  between 4:30-5:30pm. Vacation is 1 week after a year and 1 day added for every after(after 5 yrs you will have 2 weeks vacation). Although management is flexible with time off on the plus side. Good pay for what the job is. Its a trucking job so there is always work to be done.

Alpine will tell you what the pay range is in the interview and on the job post, but they will certainly always hire at the lowest end of that range. They do not give regular raises. I have been here for 2 years and received one cost of living raise of 2%. They say raises are based on profit, but won't tell you how much in order to get a raise. They don't do performance reviews. They say that IF you get a raise, we will all get the same amount. But ultimately, they will just play dumb until you give up. Some just accept it, I decided to quit.
