STAY AWAY!!   The CRM position is over worked and underpaid.  You are NOT compensated for any overtime hours worked as the company reclassified to salary instead of hourly.   You WILL work more than 40hrs a week, and there is ZERO work/life balance.   Senior CRM who have been in their positions for years barely make more than new hires. It’s a hassle to use earned time off as the company has blackout 6months of the year., not to mention they only allow 1 person off at a time, possibly 2 if business is slow.  While they offer holiday pay you will not always get the holiday off.  The management is lack luster and of no help.  This position requires you to proof all elements and share with customer for approvals.  Any oversight you will be written up even if the fault is with the client.  This position carries a huge responsibility and the pay doesn’t equal the weight of the responsibility of the position.  It’s a very specific knowledge based industry.  They promise they will train you but training materials are outdated (employee handbook/training materials are from the company they acquired nearly 10 years ago).  If you pick up the work quickly you are rewarded with MORE WORK. Work loads are not evenly distributed and the better you do the more work/clients you get and clients suffer because of it.   You don’t have time for everything. Benefits are a joke!  Insurance is high deductible and employee contributions are based on your pay range.   You will likely have  $75+ deducted weekly for insurance contributions.  Production equipment is constantly down for repairs which directly effects your work deadlines.  Outdated data and work applications.   Lastly, this company does NOT care about their employees.  The CEO never acknowledges lower level employees.  CEO/upper management come to the plant and walk right by like you don’t exist. However, mess something up and the entire company knows.   Management shares personal information, nothing is private.  This company will take take take but in their eyes their employees are ungrateful.    For all your hard work all year at Thanksgiving and Christmas the company gives a turkey/ham voucher. Pay raises are a joke, not even actual cost of living.  No bonuses EVER!

The job itself is pretty simple. You sort mail, wrap and organize skids, and make sure everything gets sent to the right places like PCI, USPS, FedEx, and Xerox. You’ll be expected to work overtime about one week every month, sometimes more depending on how busy it is. The pay is decent, and the company does give out free meals during events, which is a nice touch.

But that’s where the good things stop. The work environment on second shift can be difficult. There’s a lot of gossip, and it can sometimes feel like teamwork is lacking. If you don’t go along with what others want, it may lead to conflict. I tried to bring up concerns through the proper channels, but nothing really changed. Some of the people involved had been there a long time, and complaints didn’t always seem to be taken seriously.

There isn’t much active supervision during second shift, so a lot tends to go unnoticed—people using phones during work, unclear break times, early clock-outs, or standing around talking. When I brought up something I thought was unprofessional, I was told that if I didn’t like it, I could just leave.

The hardest part of the job was dealing with ongoing conflict with a team member. Things started off fine, but over time, I ended up handling more of the shared workload. When I spoke up, it caused tension. I reported it more than once, but the situation didn’t improve. Later on, I was let go over a claim that I had acted inappropriately, even though no proof was provided. I was still able to receive unemployment benefits.

If you’re thinking about taking this job, I recommend keeping track of your experiences. The job itself is fine, but the stress and lack of support made it not worth it for me. Unless things change, I wouldn’t recommend working here.

Well, what can I say about Cathedral Corporation? I am a former Project Implementation Manager, and the withdrawal from Afghanistan was much more organized than this dumpster fire called Cathedral Corporation. To begin, a typical workday was chaotic, to say the least. There was no guidance, or training from my supervisors, and no clear set goals, job tasks, or expectations for my role as a Project Implementation Manager. I did not learn anything about the role, I was told by my trainer, that the benefits were horrendous, management was lackluster at best, and that I should find a new job. Also, I had a the dubious honour of a collateral duty of doing group reviews and mailing certain parcels (for this I received a performance improvement plan, to learn how to tape boxes...lol....I don't get it either). The management is absolutely garbage. There is one manager who takes extended lunches for only (insert deity) knows how long. Furthermore, upper management from the company doesn't understand the job functions of their subordinates, and constantly condescends through the company's email system. THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY EVER TO WORK FOR. I AM GLAD THAT I LEFT, FOUND A PLACE THAT PAYS MORE AND THE COMPANY CULTURE FITS MY NEEDS. PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY, YOU ARE BETTER OFF LIVING IN NORTH KOREA, THAN WORKING AT THIS COMPANY.

Where to start...you do not get yearly raises, some have been there over ten years and have only gotten three raises. There is no advancement, you are stuck in the position they hire you for. Mandatory overtime Monday through Saturday, ten hours each day and eight on Saturday. You are told you have all these holidays off, i.e. Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, but you end up having to work them anyway. The health insurance doesn't pay much and it has a $5500 deductible, but supposedly you can bring it to HR after $2500 and the company helps out. The inserter machines run like garbage, if they run at all. The equipment is outdated and needs to be replaced. The pallet jacks and hand carts are broken. People were promised retro pay with their raises a year ago, and over a year later they have still not received them. And the company only gave out raises as everyone was leaving, so they tried getting people to stay with that incentive. The company will complain about your attendance when you have to miss days for court dates for your kids, but will not place you on a different shift (first shift 7-3:30 to second 3:30-midnight) even though you requested it multiple times so you wouldn't have to miss time at work.

Coming to Cathedral Corporation was the worst decision of my life. The work environment is very stressful for everyone and the typical workday is who can play the blame game the best. Some of the Co Workers are great to work with (50%) and the other 50% are so miserable. Management is a huge mess and doesn't want to invest for anything new. No one wants to work together and improve the company. The equipment/software in this company is so outdated and is ready to fail at any moment. Management has been informed about this so many times but no one from management would like to make a decision at all and don't seem to care. But once this equipment fails they will just point fingers instead of solving and preventing the situation. This company wants to redo everything but nobody wants to spend 1 dollar to conduct many of these positive changes. Just stay away from this place its so stressful and just isn't worth it at all.

Non-management employees are fantastic. Great attitude, good workers and very personable. Management is a different story: little communication with non-management, no job security and constantly changing job duties/responsibilities of employees.

Worst part is the fact that the company pays a "consultant" a boat-load of money for a weekly conference call with non-management employees. The consultant has never worked in the industry and is never on time for her own call. She also regularly would just not show up for the call without letting the participants know. It's mind boggling how and why they pay her.

If you can deal with the uncertain job security, it's not a bad place to work. Just make sure you have your eye on a fall-back option. Numerous employees have been fired and brought back over the years. And know that the country is becoming paperless, so there isn't much need for envelopes.

I don’t really want to say what really goes on there for my personal reason for leaving . Apply there and you will find out quickly. Some great people still work there for unknown reasons and are worked to death. There are also people (2 people really) that should have been let go a long time ago since thirty are the main reason a few coworkers left. Very outdated systems and they can’t keep certain important people with roles to better the system to stay. This is all different from years ago when it was one of the best companies to work for in my opinion. No room for advancement because of employee choice. If you do try to advance to management they will make sure you fail because there is no training whatsoever in that place.  Very sad to see what an amazing company has become. 

Check in to time clock. Finish any shipments left over from previous day. Turn over all shipping invoices, to accounting department. And collect all invoices for shipments to be prepared and ship for the day. Collect all completed orders from production. Place orders with shipping companies. Log in all materials received in warehouse.
I learned the process of the sales, accounting and production areas.
Any issues with orders, management would assist without issues.
Co-workers assisted with rush loads without question. The hardest thing to deal with, was rush season. The most enjoyable was the constant learning of the different departments.

Get yelled at in front of new employees, treated like dirt, back stabbing employees who you think were nice just throw you under the bus. If you need time off you will get denied in January-end of February tax season. People are leaving because of the way they are treated. If you don’t own top brand shoes you are considered poor.  Overall just find something better. If you try to better yourself career path you will be treated differently. Management will talk about you negatively while in close range, they never talk positively about you.

Boss at the location doesn't really know what he's doing in a micro level, like how to run the machine, but has no problem talking to you as if he knows better.  I was once having a problem and he stated I shouldn't be because the person on 1st shift wasn't having issue.  As if machines don't break over time or like I was pretending. 

The building feels like a poorly maintained prison.  I had heard it wasn't a great place to work but I had no idea how bad it would really be.
