Cargo Largo

Several employee issues including unnecessary hostility, disrespectful demeanor, very arrogant attitudes...etc
 These issues do not get approached in any manner that will rectify situations. This causes the environment to be very uncomfortable and generally toxic - and allows said employees to feel completely comfortable continuing to treat their coworkers this way. This can be a very hostile work environment.

Many issues are brought to management, and are communicated to management constantly. But, communication is usually not reciprocated by management. Issues are seemingly never resolved, and any possible resolutions are not communicated. This can be very disheartening as an employee, and in my opinion can cause a huge lacking in over all work ethic - due to feeling as though you have to step back from caring/being passionate about speaking up when it comes to problems in the workplace. So many issues go UNRESOLVED.
It is usually never reccomend to bring issues straight to Human Resources (By management) This can come off as sneaky, and disingenuous. I feel that this is a huge red flag, and shows even more of a lacking in management's role of being advocates for employees and their issues. Most employees do not even know the first step in successfully reaching HR, due to the HR team usually not being present, or just simply not making sure that a line of communication is open with employees. There is just no comfortability in this workplace.

Over all, the work at this facility is fast paced and enjoyable most days. The biggest downfall this company has is caused by poor management, and the employees that they choose to hire. 

Cargo largo is a well put together company and ever growing. The management system is well structured with qualified supervisors overlooking it. The work is not difficult to learn; with thorough teachers available for any questions, any employee should be capable of doing the work provided. 

The hours are decent, and there is definite job security. Upper management definitely listens to the employees, and every employee should feel they have a voice. It goes so far as each area having their own representative for a monthly Task Force meeting that allows that representative to bring forth concerns or questions the respected area may have. Communication is key as well, with each area having their own form of meetings that typically take place weekly.

Safety is a number one priority too. Before you begin on the job, you will go through a list of safety tips that should be followed at all times during working hours. There is also posted signs and painted lines all over the warehouse warning of any potential hazards nearby (forklifts operating, walking areas, etc.).

There is room to grow and develop as an employee. Management is willing to work with you as an individual. You will have plenty of opportunity to show your worth. It is a welcoming environment with good people that work here. I would absolutely recommend working here to anyone really looking to build a career and wanting to learn valuable skills.

Exciting items come in daily and working in the tech department we see the high end of all electronics!  So a typical Monday turns out to be exciting when the new 65" Samsung LED Smart TV with the curved screen gets turned on and we got to test the picture and really see how the new pixels add so much more detail to the picture.  I think everyone in the tech dept. wants one now!!  

I have learned a lot in the Networking Telecom industry!  I have a solid customers base that I can call anytime to get info on telecomm boards and parts that are pretty hard to identify the make, model and price. I have also met (while researching telecomm boards) many new potential tech bidders and have recruited fourteen new bidders to the Cargo Largo Tech web page.We constantly sell high end and very expensive switches, routes and other random gear. 

www.cargolargo.com  then click the tech sale icon.

I work with a lot of interesting people that have backgrounds in all sorts of different industries and walks of life!  Which helps us identify all of the random parts that come in through freight!  Seems like you can always find an answer to your questions!

Hardest part of this job is trying to identify all of the parts to assure they are sold in the correct venue.  Can be a bit tricky but it is fun! 

Most enjoyable part of this job is the praise the management gives out when someone does a great job and goes way past their "normal responsibilities" and helps to complete the job!

Currently in my 10th year at Cargo Largo. Started out as a high school student working part time and have advanced through three other positions before settling in at the warehouse. The flexible schedule working the retail side of Cargo Largo was great while going to school and taking college credits after graduating. No super late hours like other retailers. The fixed hours I currently have working at the warehouse are also great , no weekends and I get off early afternoons and still have time to enjoy the day. My coworkers are amazing and the job I do is easy and even fun getting to see all the new freight that comes through. The warehouse can be a bit dirty sometimes (as I imagine most can) and it does not have a/c but there are break rooms with a/c and the warehouse is well ventilated with some huge fans to help keep the temps down. There are heaters but it can be a bit chilly at times during the middle of winter, nothing intolerable. 

The company does a great job of keeping employees informed of progress each month and even has some employee appreciation lunches for us. The supervisors are always helpful and polite and they try to be as available as possible for anything. I wouldn't stay with a company as long as I have if I didn't genuinely enjoy what I do or who I work with.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I love working at Cargo Largo because the management is amazing and they truly care about you and your life outside of work. The atmosphere with your coworkers is fun and easy going. The work is fast paced which is what I like because it makes the day fly by.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I think it would probably be when we reach peak. It gets busy and you might have to do a little bit of overtime but not anything overwhelming. Summertime gets pretty hot but management always makes sure we stay hydrated with Gatorade and Popsicles. They truly do care about us! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We are like a big family!  Everyone has always been so nice and helpful and we always work together to get the job done!  We usually do some fun taco bars, BBQ's, and chili dinners. At the holidays we do fun things like twin day, ugly Christmas sweaters, crafts that they will hang around the building. We do red Friday for our chiefs games and just got done having a Royals party for opening day! It is the best! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I usually get to work and get my area situated the way I like it and then start my day. You have a certain quota you have to hit but once your trained that's really easy to maintain. I come in by 6:30 and get off at 3:15 which works well with my busy family life I have!

I miss Cargo Largo! I learned to deliver exceptional customer service and used my attention to detail to develop a Quality Control Position that I managed for over 2 years. I would inspect and audit product for correct inventory entry, quality and consistency. I would develop reports for management to review associate performance. There were some double standards due to the fact that some teams got bonuses and recognition and others did not, however they always had monthly meetings that made you feel like you were part of the team. Management didn't take ideas into much consideration, and they could not eliminate the horrible rodent problem even after relocating to a warehouse instead of a cave. They had such a variety of products in 43 commodities which offered an array of challenges for my position, which I found exciting. Often times, I would go above and beyond without being noticed for doing so, but with only 25 cent annual raises and no incentives offered to my position, I moved on to another career. It's a shame they don't hire anybody back even if they left on good terms.

' A typical day at work"
 Working in a call center can be very rewarding, but we are aware that it is a VERY different culture than most jobs.  You are not tied to a phone for the majority of your day.  You can get up and chat.  You get 2 -15 minute breaks and a 45 min lunch. You know what you are doing each day and the goals we need to hit.

'What I have learned"
Working at a call center, you come to realize over time that a customer’s problem isn’t really the issue – it’s how they feel they are being treated during the midst of the problem. Often they don’t need the issue solved perfectly and immediately. They just want to feel like their feelings are being validated and treated seriously, which can be applied to most conflicts in life.

"Management"
The management lets us voice anything that we think can help not only the company, but also us as people and our happiness at this job. So it's great if you ask me!

'The most enjoyable part of my job"
1-Interaction with different kinds of people 2-Develop Negotiation Skills 3-Use and develop problem-solving skills 4-Enjoy knowing that you are able to help!

I would like to state that all jobs are what YOU make of it. It is up to you. Here at Cargo Largo you will experience something new and exciting everyday, I guarantee it. No such thing as boring! When you come to work,expect to engage not sit on the sidelines. Also,opportunities are always available for advancement. Fresh new ideas are welcome and encouraged. You will be at times required to work overtime so be prepared. That paycheck will look good !! Benefits are excellent. This year we are getting paid back some of our insurance premiums due to being healthier.  WOW, what other company offers that I ask? During my 14 plus years working here I have acquired a knowledge and understanding of how I fit into the bigger picture. I do not just look at that picture I am a working part of it and proudly so. My co-workers are a great bunch of people and are like extended family. Management has always been fair and understanding. Supervision is hands on. They will get out and work right beside you. Note, this is a warehouse environment and you will get dirty. For me personally I love the new challenges that every day brings.

Cargo Largo is a family owned company built on innovation, creativity and a unique business model.  No other place like it!  

The owner and management are fair to their team members and encourage new ideas and out-of-the-box thinking. Employees are valued and empowered to do their best every day and their efforts  are noticed and rewarded by leadership. The management team are hands on and don't ask their teams to do anything they can't do or haven't done themselves. 

I was able to move into an position that I truly love after a 2 years at the company, while still being a resource to others in my old dept.  It was an opportunity for me to learn and grow while on the job. 

The review process is based on performance and not just an across the company raise.  Through hard work, dependability and a positive attitude you can receive your increase in nine months instead of every twelve.  That makes me want to work as hard as I can so I benefit in the long run. 

I can't imagine working any place else and, like many others before me, I plan to retire from Cargo Largo.

I have worked a few jobs in my life and I really enjoy this work place. It is friendly, the people have really good attitudes about the company and the atmosphere. There is definitely longevity. When you find people with a lot of years of working here you know it has to be a good place to work and they are everywhere. Cargo Largo has a lot of perks and they let their employees know that they care about them. Compensation is good and the benefits are too. Management is easy to talk to. You are provided with training and your co-workers are more than happy to assist in the learning process. Management encourages ideas and changes that make the job more efficient. The compensation meets or is above average. In the time that I have been here I can honestly say that I have no complaints or bad experiences. I am in the warehouse daily; people are always in a good mood and sharing a hello. A smile comes easily.  On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the best) I would have to give Cargo Largo a 10. Why...they care about their employees, their customers, the cities they are in, and giving back.
