Centrex Distributors

Centrex is a decent place to work. The pay scale is pretty good because it is a union shop. The benefits are excellent because it is a union shop. I worked third shift, which could be tough, especially if you have a family. You work 10 to 12 hour nights, but typically, only 4 days a week. When you are a new guy, it's tougher, because you make less, usually have to work longer, etc. However, once you get some time in, and some seniority, it gets a little easier. Plus, you get raises every year because it's a union shop. There is almost always opportunities for overtime, if that's your thing. When I worked there, which was some years ago, the management was decent. They would sometimes be hardcases, but mostly, they were ok. Some of my co workers there were pretty cool guys, some not so much. There is a fair amount of negativity in there, which can be draining. My advice would be: If you're a young guy with lots of freetime, or an older, sort of tough bullworker type, then it can be a pretty good job. You can make some decent money comparatively, and the benefits (healthcare, etc.) are the best I ever had. If you like a union environment, it can be a good place to work. However, if you're a bit of a weakling, want to work in an office like environment, want to wear a shirt and tie to work everyday, want to work in a co-ed environment, don't like unions, or just want to take it easy and play with your cell phone all day, then Centrex is most definitely not the place for you. It can also be tough on you if you have a family, because you may not get to see them that much on a daily basis, because of the shift and the long hours. The job security is pretty high however.

If you hate your body this is the job for you ! We currently have 15 employees out on injury shoulder surgery ,knee surgery ,back surgeries are the most common in these terrible working conditions. There are no bonuses ad is misleading and you will only make $16 an hour when you drive. Management only cares about getting their products delivered at all costs even when you tell them you don’t feel comfortable doing a delivery because it is unsafe a direct quote from management “we will pay your comp if you get injured we always do”. You will not have any set schedule your hours will vary everyday and it will be long grueling physical labor. Also the trucks are not maintained and the company is well behind on technology. There are some pros to this job but there are far more cons.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Tons of hours, decent pay, and great benefits! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Learning all the brands and sizes of all the merchandise! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nonstop,and busy! Everyone works together for the most part and helps accomplish tasks!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get ready in the locker room, chick in with the bosses after clocking in! Start my task, gon on break then usually finish my task around lunch! Then go around helping anyone that needs it or is behind! Then take another break, and help with whatever needs to be done so we can all finish our day and go home at a decent hour!

This place is awful in every way possible low pay for such intense work very very long hours the supervisors are all terrible  the conditions of the warehouse, trucks and forklifts are terrible everyone fights to get the working forklifts because most of them have issues...you will not go anywhere here there is no advancement you're either picking and packing or cleaning and packing or truck driver or driver helper ... unless you find your way into a supervisor job in which you do nothing all night and get paid a very low wage for it that would be a very rare situation though..there is absolutely nothing good about this place i would turn and run, run fast 

I’ve been working at Centrex for just about a year now. I could not be happier with where I’m going. Like any jobs you have your ups and down. If you like to work hard and make a tone of cash doing so than then this is the place. If you can’t you should look for employment elsewhere. Really good health care also. One of the best around. The better you do at work the faster you’ll advance.

You will kill yourself doing this job, they don't care what you are qualified In you are just a number. There is 0 growth or advancement. The management team has no plan ever, they don't communicate with there employees untill something goes wrong. It's just very unprofessional and unorganized. If you're looking to hurt yourself this is your job!

Labor  intensive  job with very  good union  benefits.  Wages are poor at best, will take  5-10 years to get a decent wage.  Free CDL training, and they will give  you experience.  Very secure  job, but  is frustrating at times.  Trucks are poorly maintained, and often sent on the road overloaded  and unsafe.

The company had alot to offer to me enhanced my job skills and provided a healthy and safe environment for me to work and continue to learn lots of teamwork my direct supervisor was very helpful and encouraging even when i had to do delivery the costumers were very respectful

Management has no clue what they’re doing . They over work people until they quit or book off then screw everyone else in the warehouse over . The workers are so miserable it’s ridiculous it’s a complete dark cloud inside centrex . I don’t talk to any body for this reason the entire environment is negative it’s disgusting . Place needs to change 

Do not apply if you have a conscience or care about safety. The pay is great but there is a huge divide between list and casuals. Shop steward is useless and doesnt care about employees. Management will push you out the minute you speak up. DO NOT DO IT TO YOURSELF.
