There is a lot of good people and bad people just standard in any job you work at. However, most of the time the good people don’t stay long because they know they deserve better. The pay is barely worth it and the time that it takes to get to a decent amount of pay is also not worth it.  It’s a simple job it’s difficult to have a hard time understanding it’ll take about a month maximum to learn everything in your section in the warehouse. Then 2 months to learn the whole warehouse if you’re willing enough to help the other sections. Don’t work too hard your effort will be in vain because the only way to get promoted is if the position is available, so if someone quits or gets fired and that’s only if you’re seen as the person fit to fill in that spot. A lot of favoritism in the warehouse, but most of the time it’s deserved usually the favorites are people who’ve been working there awhile and have a good attitude. They don’t tolerate bad attitude at all. You will be fired if you don’t show up a lot, blatant signs of not a team player, you will receive a warning if you or might even get fired for having a bad attitude as well. Upper management is extremely out of touch with what goes on on the floor, so don’t expect them to know anything. Only people you can trust for questions are some veteran workers, red vests which are floor leads or supervisors. There are good people and extremely hard working as well, but it’s just not worth it. If you do end up working here help people out, but don’t push it. However, don’t be lazy either you can be lazy, but no one will like you for it and you’ll probably end up getting fired. Find a pace where you are productive enough where you contribute, but it’s not too stressful. Trust me it’ll be easy to find that pace because everyone figures it out.  Don’t stress too much and the day will go by fast. Make friends be nice and just enjoy it because once you find a new job after this you can look back and be like the job was bad, but the people were dope. 

I was put into a supervisory position, because the current supervisor wasn't able to affectly communicate towards the workers.  I reviewed the issues and let management know what the issue was, but little did I know,they weren't looking for someone to lead, they just needed a fall guy.  Communication is probably the biggest attribute when it comes to working at a warehouse, and there was none of that here.  There were many many workers who couldn't even speak english, so effective communication was a pipe dream.  Getting everyone on the same page was next to imposible, while constantly having to switch things up in order to compensate for the lack of understanding and cohesiveness on the floor.

Was not contacted during my time there.  Was a productive, hard working, accurate and reliable worker.  High turnover rate at company I was sent to.  Very moody team leads, who were not making sure training was given.  Had many years of warehouse experience and certification’s for various warehouse equipment.  The company I was sent to by: “American Lumper Services” To: “ Dart Container” in Havre de Grace, MD, was a very judge-mental company.   Had a very positive attitude but was judged by team leads who did not offer the same positive attitude.  If you are more positive then they are, they let you go because you make them look bad for not having same positive attitude.  American Lumper Services does not stand by you.

Best part:
The work is straightforward and easy to pick up. Most days aren’t stressful, especially if you stay focused and keep a good pace. It can even be enjoyable once you get into a rhythm.

Most stressful part:
There isn’t much day-to-day stress, but job stability can be uncertain. Despite strong attendance and consistent effort, my employment ended unexpectedly, which was difficult.

Work environment & culture:
Initially, the environment felt positive and fairly relaxed, with a more independent work style that suits introverts. However, over time communication and support declined, which made the workplace feel less collaborative.

The lack of training created an unfair work environment. I was terminated on my first day after only 3 hours of training, despite my efforts to manage an extremely overloaded workload. The lane was already almost full when I arrived in the morning, adding to the challenge. Due to the lack of proper support from the supervisor, other coworkers had to step in to help me. I wouldn’t recommend working here unless they improve their training process, provide better support, and treat employees with more respect. The supervisor on shift did not provide enough guidance or time to adjust, making for an overall frustrating experience.

I Worked My Hinney Off For Them Lay Me Off Along With 5 Other People Once “peak” season was over. Never Missed A Day Never Came Late. Supervisors Are Rude, People Come In Late All Throughout The Day. The Line Gets Busy And If People Call In You’ll Be Working By Yourself. The Boxes Get Heavy ASF! The Pallets Aren’t As Easy To Stack As You’d Think. They Break Room Is Beyond Disgusting And the garbage be so over full that people just throw it on the floor. There isn’t a maintenance person to clean they clean during “slow days” . During peak season you get a lot of hours over 50+ hours after peak hour hours go under 20 . This job isn’t for the weak. It sucks and they don’t care about the employees. Desperate for a job? Work at McDonald’s before going here 💯💯💯

Worked hard for this company for 6 months long nights even longer days. Sunday through friday with saturday being your only day off was hard but i made it happen 50 to 60 hours every single week. To turn around one day and being told the contract was ending and your employer was going to fire everyone. Its not just your going to fire us but also wanted to allow us to work the rest of the week out then firing us is the icing on thr cake for me. This company doesnt care about there employees they only care about the money nothing more nothing less. No benefits no career growth only money paid weekly if your desperate enough take it but dont put any emotion to its just temporary. Trust me

Small 3pl company that claims to have many accounts but far to few and lose the ones they have awfully quickly. The higher management is mediocre at best as obtaining and keep accounts should be a primary focus, you cant say your the best in the business if your constantly loosing business. I would tread lightly as I never fully committed to this company and I'm glad I didn't. Staffing is a joke and the company has no sop or proper procedures for any situations. This is a low end 3pl that will phase out as the bigger companies absorb them. Communication is also vague as everything is done via text vs email which is very odd for me.

For a company that call themselves the "experts", they are very onorganized. I worked for them for 3 weeks. I was hired as a trainer but was recieving trucks eveyday. They consistently messed up payroll. Which is the reason for my departure as wel as about 15 other workers. They hire people and do not train the properly. They hire managers who know nothing about how the run the floor or assist employees with issues. The manager has a hard time facing and dealing with conflict. This job will use you up and not give it a second thought.

A typical day at work depends on the amount of trucks they have, you may work 8 hrs. or more, or you may work under 6 probably less. They need to provide better training, more pay and make sure their leads are trained properly and know what their doing. There is nothing hard about this job unless your lifting heavy merchandise. Very disunctional and unprofessional. High turnover rate. Some have favorites. I suggest if you ever are employed here to just do your job and stay to yourself!
