Burris Logistics

Day starts with calling into dispatch between 7-11 am. They tell you no forced dispatch but now, that’s a lie. If you are a new driver, you’ll see a lot of NYC and North Jersey. You don’t get paid extra for going into NYC. All the trucks are automatic for the most part and have drive cam. You are guaranteed $1100 a week. Minus taxes and benefits, you’ll bring home somewhere in the $700’s. Coworkers are back stabbers. Rat you out for anything. (DTA). Don’t trust anyone. Every quarter you might get a safety bonus. The company will find reasons not to give you one. In the food industry, there’s a lot of mandatory 6 day work weeks. A lot of times, you’ll be back at work when your 10 hrs is up. To make good money here, you’ll need to do a lot of layovers. Layover runs are Ohio, NC, and Richmond,Va to Roanoke, Va. Those runs go to the dispatchers favorites. If you don’t mind working like a dog, this will be good for you. If you are looking for a job where you can be home more, this isn’t the job for you. In the food industry, there’s a lot of blacked out days so it’s hard to schedule a vacation. ALSO THERE REALLY ISN’T ANY TEAMWORK HERE. You are on your own

I worked the overnight shift 5pm start.
Pros-
-Management and Coworkers were good people
-Paid decent back in 2020-2021 before inflation
-Decent Benefits/ 401K/ PTO
-Decent work/life balance for warehouse work
-Lenient management and HR. You could discuss any issue you were having
-You could get more hours by filling in at different departments if needed. (I did this before I took a vacation)
- Higher chance of getting a promotion than alot of other companies. But still pretty slim.

Cons-
-Very slow at times and over busy at other times
-They paid new hires the same as people who have been there longer
-Not much room for advancement or pay raises
-Could have better benefits for people attending school. Like better tuition assistance programs.
-Forklifts/Equipment could have been a bit better
-All the old Management/ Coworkers have either left or been fired sadly. 

Id honestly go work there again if I didn't move. Looking back on it Burris was my favorite place to work at



I worked here for less then a year and in my little bit of time employed I will say they are a wonderful team in the HR Department well at least the 3 girls . The upper Management given a few was wonderful especially the General manager great guy . The position I worked for and the person I worked under was Horrible she would make you want to pull your hair out and quit . She was very rude , moody and most of all BOSSY she is not a people person at all since the day I started there everyone was wishing me Good Luck and at first I couldn't understand why but as time went on I seen why they said it, NO ONE at Burris can stand her but only tolerated her because it is the Professional way of doing things . I ended my employment with this company mostly because I was force too because of ( Personal Issues) just say if you work here DO NOT have any outside Relations with anyone there because it's not tolerated BUT you will notice that everyone has someone who works there whether their children, Spouse's or friends etc...So good luck if anything work in the warehouse stay away from the office.

There are two divisions of the the company that I have experience with, the Custom Division and PRW.  Although the two divisions are part of the same organization, I would have to say that I would prefer being employed by the Custom Division hands down. 
In my experience with the Custom Division, I have found the workplace culture to not only be pleasant, but also motivating.  I can not say the same for the PRW side of the organization.  Their culture is more dogmatic and they foster a management style that advocates fear and intimidation instead of motivation.  Based on information received from team members who traveled to multiple PRW facilities providing support, this culture appears to be a common thread throughout PRW. This style appears to be deeply rooted in the PRW division which leads one to believe that there is little to no chance for change.

I was hired at the New Castle location. During my time there was constant turnover of team members. Poor management was a big reason. Lack of communication from the top, to the supervisors, and to team members made the work day longer and more stressful than it had to be. Constantly working 11 plus hour days. The company kept bringing in new accounts to pick for without the slightest clue on who or how these accounts would be managed. Biting off more than they could chew and leaving the team members out to dry. Not willing to give raises to those who deserve them. Management was terrible when it came to work life balance. They did not care what you had going on outside of work especially when it came to family. They always kept telling team members you are here until the work is done like they didn’t have families to go home and see. Always looking for reasons to write people up and try to fire them. Thus the constant turnover and crazy mass hirings. Highly recommend not working here.

I worked for them under the understanding I was going to be a local driver, I saw the sleeper cabs and asked 3 more times and all 3 I was told I was local. I started working and as soon as they could they wanted to send me to ohio?! turned it down and also you slip seat and the mattresses haven't been changed in years they are nasty. they call coming in at 1:30 or 2am and getting back to base at 5 06 pm goin home for a couple hours your proper reset? you will never actually get a real 10 hours. your single day off is a joke which is sunday...you get off Saturday after running for 14 hours or more, get up sunday and you better rush to get everything done early because you have to come back 11pm that night which means your day off is cut short. you wont have set schedules and you wont sleep here. I quit after a couple weeks because they can also take your day off from you without telling you even though you made plans and wont take no for an answer. these companies tell you what you want to hear instead of being upfront

First off i have 20 years of driving experience and a safe driving record. I responded to an add on Indeed for a Burris job running out of Portsmouth NH. I received a phone call 2 days later, describing the job details: hours, location, pay, days on/off benefits ect. I told the recruiter i was interested, but wanted to speak with my wife regarding the position. I asked the recruiter to send me via a text or email all the information she supplied during the call so i can review everything. She said she would, and said i could text or email her if i had anymore questions. Two working days go by, i still had not received the information. So I called and left a message and friendly reminder. Another day goes by (3) no response, so I text and email. Again, no response a week goes by. Three attempts i made, no response. 2 weeks later Burris still has not filled the positions, New Adds for the position recently posted on Indeed. LOL way to recruiters....pretty bad business practices.

The hours can be long, usually theres on average 2 or 3 days that will be 12 hours+ in a week. Dont expect management to have sympathy. The job listing states 36 an hour but for those that are unfamiliar with warehousing, 36 is almost impossible to make. Realistically youll be making about 24 to 27 if you work super hard. Theres high turnover and it makes it worse when they advertise $36 an hour and people flood in only to quit because they see how impossible it is to make anywhere near that. If you need to make alot of money in a short period, maybe you need something to get back on your feet or need something to get you through college, then this is a decent opportunity if you dont mind going home always being really tired. If youre looking for long term or growth potential just be wary that you might not find that here. 

The management is horrible. Something changes every day one day they say do something a certain way next day it is wrong . Management screams at you. They have favorites and really need to get organized. Communication is terrible . Trying to get off is a hit or miss so good luck.you don’t have time you can’t get off. You call out they take your time with no choice . Turn over is awful they have interviews with 15+ people weekly ! HR handled situations terrible . Apparently you have mental health problem and tell them terrible  thing you want to do to yourself and they give you a. Piece of paper and say call a number . They do not care about your mental or physical health everyone is replaceable. They talk to there employees like animals . They laugh when you have anxiety attacks and say it’s not real . It’s in your head . They mentally ruined  me and another employee to the point the one is not here anymore. They should be ashame of themselves to say Burris is one . It’s a lie .

I would have to say not to happy with this job; I was not comprehending my position and  on several occasions went to my direct supervisor and I felt like I was a bother to her.  She would roll her eyes and huff.  I seemed to be a burden to her.  She did not work with me; she assigned me to fellow co-workers that had been there for years and they seem to be frustrated to have to train me.  I was not comfortable in this position at all. 
I would cry going into work and cry coming home from work.  Eventually they left me go telling me I did not understand my job and it was bringing the department down.  I was very relieved yet sad that no one wanted to take the appropriate time to teach me properly that is all it would take to have made me understand I am a note taker and a very fast learner in this case I was placed from one person to the next and everyone had different ways of training which was very frustrating.
