Coastal Pacific Food Distributors

What is the best part of working at the company?
Use to be overtime after 8hrs. Made it easier to deal with the office culture and constent inconsistencies 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The constant micromanaging  from management and dispatch acting like the are your manager / parent. Being talked down to and treated like you are at the bottom.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very toxic they try to promote a "family" atmosphere and when you remind them you are here to do a job and not be someones BFF you will be treated different. Dispatch calculates your payroll and will change you route that you were assigned. The days changed will be your decent paying days. TOXIC

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sit in traffic make deliveries to military bases. Most the people are cool but others dont like their job and will do sneaky stuff like make complaints and false statements. Even though you feel you were on great terms and were helpful and keeping the reciever laughing

Coastal or CPFD was my home for 5 years. Unfortunately i capped out in 2 to 3 years and when i asked if we could all get a raise it was met with we cant do it even after i learned dang near all the positions in the warehouse from 1st to 2nd shift. Management plays favorites so if you apply be prepared for that. You cant call someone out on doing something wrong without them or anyone else or they will get on to you about it.
Basically it teaches the fundamentals of warehousing with the Single and double pallet jacks, cherry picker, and single and double reach forklifts. If you need a "job" this is it something temporary to pay bills until you get a better job. 

I’ve been working at Coastal for a year now and even though it has ups and downs, I feel a sense of belonging and understanding I have never experienced with other warehouses. I love my bosses and I honestly feel as if I’m in a very close tight knit family. Because the orders are dependent on sales of products during certain times of year, not everyday is the same... so if you’re looking for a typical 9-5 job, this isn’t for you... but if you want the overtime hours and if you want to be compensated quite fairly for going above and beyond (UP TO $7 an hour!!!!) and receive EXCELLENT benefits and there’s even a 401K, this is the place to start.

Tight knit excellent organization that I left as my personal legacy and partial retirement in 2015. During my 19 years I am  fortunate to have served a developmental roll in a company that in 1996 was a $168 million organization and grew to $1.5 Billion in 2015. I held every key director roll in merchandising, procurement, operations, and logistics including US and Far East export business. I am proud to have served the men and women of our armed forces for the past 19 years of my working career at Coastal Pacific Food Distributors. There could be no one that deserves our nations appreciation more than those who protect our freedom!

A typical day consisted of being informed of the start of shift work load,followed by assigning work zones and teams .the job teaches you to work at a sustained wor pace . Mgmt team was very visable and preasent throughout the days changing workload since the job is military food distribution. The team of co workers in this building are both in formative helpful working towards a comon goal. The hardest part of the job is the schedual since the job is a work till the workload for the days shipments is compleated making it hard for those who want to be off work by a certain time each day.

Order selector for the US military commissary. I worked in every department of the warehouse freeze, chill (refrigerator), & dry. Read from labels to identify the right product by reading the slot location, UPC, description, and quantity which maxed out at 400 items. Controlled electric pallet jack to get to every slot location and picked in an efficient and timely manner. My pick rate exceeded expectation of 95% with 120% with very few errors. Lumped incoming freight and would replenish stock shelves and slot locations with reach truck using AIMS computer system. End of the day I would help load trailers, clean up, and made sure all equipment was tested and plugged in to be charge for next shift.

I enjoyed working at the warehouse because it keep me going and going. I used all forklifts. I counted the products, check the code dates, put in information in the system, uses RF gun doing real time putting in information. It was the most fun environment to work in working in all warehouse (dry, chill, and freezer). I do some moving and cleaning up (restack the cases) when necessary. I love the people I worked with and around. I learned so much there when I held my position as an inventory control. It is a non-stop job that keep me going.

Favoritism and the abundance of family members that are hired created an unfavorable opportunity for growth. The lies and deceit that were told from the beginning vs reality can't even be measured. Management was only in it for themselves. NEVER wanting to address the issues that were brought to their attention to avoid confrontation and to not "look bad." OH, and the pay is not in favor nor align with the cost of living to survive, and it definitely didn't align with the amount of work demanded.  I would NOT recommend retaining employment with this company.

Working at Coastal Pacific as a woman on the night shift with 25-35 men typically can be a dangerous environment. I was never disrespected or treated improperly by any of the employees and actually was treated with extreme politeness. My experience with CPFD was great and has allowed me to grow and become more of a versatile individual with the learning experience gained in my 12 months of employment.

Coastal is not a job. It's a family. Everyone here will stop what they are doing to help you.no matter what. I've only been here a little over 2 years. And I love everybody from the head people to the lowest. We work as one. Regardless of position. I love my job. And everyone there. What job can you freely walk in and just chat with the CEO or director.we can. We at coastal strive to make you better than when you walked in the door. You have no idea what your missing out on. Love and encourage everyone.
