C.T.D.I

If you're considering working here—run. The pay is well below industry standards, and the workload is overwhelming. You’ll be micromanaged constantly, and any attempt to share your opinion or offer feedback puts a target on your back. Management thrives on intimidation, not leadership, making job security nonexistent—regardless of how successful or dedicated you are.

They market the workplace as a “family environment,” but if this is what family looks like, it’s not one you want to be a part of. The only bright spot is the coworkers—they’re the real ones getting each other through the day.

This place is the definition of toxic. You’ll be underpaid, overworked, and undervalued, with little to no support. They pile everything on your plate while offering zero help or recognition. Sadly, the original values “the family” claimed to build this company on have completely disappeared—and they don't seem to care.

Bottom line: Not all money is good money. Think twice before investing your time here.

Main shortcoming working at this company is clueless management.Supervisors seem not to know what they're doing. Too much overtime. In my time there most employees worked seven days a week and often worked more than eight hours a day. If you have no life whatsoever and you aim to keep it that way this is the job for you.Most supervisors are incompetent. The only thing they care about is being yes men for their boss.The upside for some is they can keep their job while accomplishing virtually nothing important. Most workers are temps. The worker turnover is like nothing I've ever seen. New workers walk in almost everyday. Merit counts for nothing in this place. In my time there I had perfect attendance and performed my job duties competently and efficiently. They ended my assignment after a few months for no apparent reason.

Employees are treated like livestock, not human beings. There’s no music through out the entire place- making it seem like a prison. You have to scan in everywhere for everything. You can punch in 7 minutes early, but don’t you dare punch out a minute late. You’ll get a point for that. Managers are a joke that don’t know their left hand from their right. The machines work terribly more than 1/2 the time, which affects your production. At our lovely town meeting every Friday, they make us stand the entire time. The pay is also a joke. Only good things about this place is the work is mind numbingly easy, & there’s a set schedule. Other than that, CTDI is a perfect example of why unions need to come back with fierce force. Nepotism runs rampant also. 

There is so much i can say about C.T.D.I. and the way they run they company. Just to start off this was my very first real job that i ever had in my life. I start there when i was 18 years and continued my employment there for three year. Over a three year period i learned so much that will help me out in the future. I started out being a order picker, then i gained more knowledge to where i was packing orders, dock work, inventory, re-stock, forklift driver etc. I really enjoyed my employment there but because i was a temp i was left without the full benefits like the full time employees, other than that i wouldn't mind working with them again. They allow you to grow within the company if you are willing to yourself.

This is a great company overall. I sometimes joke and say I’ve never broken a sweat here though we do constantly work, it’s just not fair physically difficult. Hardest part is being on your feet all day though they do provide foam/rubber mats to stand on. I got used to the standing part after a week. In some select cases an employee can sit to work. There are also certain jobs that require the employee sit but most stand up. Overall I have had a good experience working here for 10 months already. I have been trying to get my wife to work here too. It is not uncommon to see multiple people from the same household working here. To me that’s a good sign that an employee would trust CTDI enough to recommend to their family member.

An international corporation, CTDI was a good place to work. They had many employee perks, which made it fun and gave us incentive to do a great job. The supervisors were a lot of fun to be around, but you also respected them. Training was complicated at times, but once you got the hang of what to do, you were allowed to make decisions on your own...sometimes with good feedback and other times not so much. 
Everyone worked together as a team as well. Hard work was recognized with extra perks.

Everything is all good at first, have your interview, start your employment with them, work and do your job then out of no where they call you to let you know that you are being laid off 2 days before the lay off date because they are trying to save money. And to do that they have to cut employees. Come to find out it's a contract job. They never mention that in the interview. Once the work around the location where they hire you at is complete, they lay you off and move on with the company to a new location, hire new employees and repeat the process.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The point system is a joke and the pay is terrible but other than that is a decent place to work.. don’t expect any loyalty and if life happens which it will u want have a job.. they don’t even accept dr notes!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The two most stressful things about this company is the low pay and the strict point system.. is like why bother? 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is a a pretty good work environment to work in the facility is clean and there’s sum really nice ppl in there and runs pretty smooth

Of all my years working in IT, CTDI was hands down my worst experience. A short list of what I experienced; antiquated technology; no teamwork, or comradery amongst coworkers; no discernable project management; no formal performance review process; low pay; lousy benefits; a drab and soul-crushing work environment; unsupportive management... I could go on, but you get the gist. I felt sick every Sunday thinking that I had to return to that gulag on Monday. 
My recommendation if you are considering employment at CTDI - run away.

This is the most exciting place to work at! You train at your own pace, learn new skills! The section heads, trainers, supervisors, managers,  production managers, operations , IT,  & H/R, cares about you, and your well being! 5 stars to them! Everyone knows you by 1st name basis! Promotions are simple! Giveaways & bi-weekly attendance drawings & bonuses too! 1/2 price lunch! Large cafeteria! Monthly raises! Wow! You gotta work HERE! I WON A BBQ GRILL @ clothing items! Yayy! CTDI you rock!
