The beginning of my tenure was fine and met my expectations I had but when I began to feel comfortable with my assigned tasks, I sought out a larger role within the company and was told that I was doing fine in my role and that I just needed to remain patient.  I began to take notice that many of the jobs available within the company took months to fill and when I began to see other facilities it became clear to me that investment in infrastructure and personnel was a lesser priority and this was after listening to the executives talk at our corporate office regarding over a billion dollars in revenue and record profit margins and record profits.  I had questions regarding the future of the company as they are family owned and no new generations coming along made for a unstable looking mid to long term future.   The final insult came when I had an annual review where I was offered only a 1% raise despite the fact that according to my review I was doing well with my duties and the only concern they had was a joke I made about drinking on the job which was previously addressed.  

My immediate supervisor was fine.  My managers and others I felt were lacking in substance.   Overall this was just an ok place to work.  I would not recommend.

Very rewarding job and company. I worked very hard to have a finely oiled machine of an operation in my Madera, Ca and West Sacramento, Ca Distribution Centers. Upper management personnel, including the the President and CEO were very open and easy to speak to. They were always open to new, fresh ideas. I had a great crew of co-workers from top to bottom. They all knew their role and worked hard to be successful. Hardest part of the job was ensuring that the sales force understood that it was my job to protect the assets of the company. For the most part we had a good working relationship (there were only a couple instances when sales and I did not see eye to eye.) Most enjoyable part of the job was reaching our profitability goals. Also the many travel opportunities throughout the country, the employee team bonding events and all of the extra curricular adventures. It was a joyous adventure and if the opportunity knocked again I would be delighted to rejoin such a fine company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Monday through Friday shift and a few of my coworkers. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management, not the whole company just the local management at the Madisonville location. The do as I say,don't do as I do Attitude.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, the one manager makes it Stressful. Always micro managing. Always running thing improperly. Going against company policy on how to do things while management above him look the other way.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's basically order picking for boat companies around the area. Not difficult but the management doesn't like to fix mistakes. Which consists of a few clicks on the computer. To difficult for him.

I took this position  last year based on a lot of the things they were telling me about the company. I loved the "Core Values" and the "RTC". The sad part is company wide I do believe that is the case. I was lucky enough to visit a few other locations. The atmosphere was much better than in Bristol. Bristol has poor leadership that allows in house fighting as opposed to focusing on unity and team building.  Most of the people that work there are good people and a lot of the "fights" come from the thought that neither side can be wrong. Its unfortunate because I saw myself being there for a long time. But it just became too stressful and not worth the pay. Life is too short to deal with negativity and poor leadership. I would definitely not recommend.  Good luck to whoever does take this. The crew in the warehouse is very solid. 

As a CDL Route Driver, working in the Rock Hill, SC Distribution Center, I will submit, this is one of the best trucking gigs I've ever worked. The pay is good, the equipment is top notch, and, as long as I operate safely while keeping the customers happy, I experience no difficulties.

Management will recognize a good employee and the rewards are bonuses and annual merit raises. They also will recognize bad behavior and deal with promptly, but, fairly.  

The hardest thing about the job is getting out of bed at 01:00am so I can drive five hours to my first delivery. Thankfully, that's not an everyday occurrence. But, even that has a bright side... during those hours there is very little traffic to contend with.

I'm busy from the time I clock in to the time I clock out. The thirteen years I've been here I've learned a lot about Hazardous material and how to handle and store them properly. I learned a lot about DOT regulation of hazardous material. Stellar service trained. Hazardous communication trained. I learned how to use different software. The new warehouse manager has been a big improvement to the work place. The hardest part of the job is when we are short staffed and last minute request with very short notice.The most enjoyable part of the job is when we make a customers day by achieving their last minute request and the safety incentive bonuses.

Composites One has been a great place to work at. At the start of the pandemic they took everyone's opinion into consideration and placed measures in each location to ensure a safe working environment. They have core values that they preach everyday and they show care and understanding to all employees. They are very meticulous with new hires and the hiring process is unique and I had phone interviews with higher ups so that everyone was aware of who was coming in. They are also all about continuous improvement and movement in the company if you want to move to another position they are very supportive of it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The other driver was helpful and informative. Always made sure I was I the know. Later found out, it was because that place couldn't keep a driver on board because the supervisor was a arrogant, narcissist jerk.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The supervisor was a douchbag.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, uncaring management made you feel small and unnecessary. No matter what you did, it wasn't enough. BUYER BEWARE!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Same as every other route job.

This company expects the work of 5-6 people in the warehouse to be done by 2.
Always.
I highly recommend you go somewhere else.

Leadership is highly motivated to get the most done with the least amount of people. Which will decay your life and your motivation.  There is no standard training. Leadership has no problem letting disrespect run rampant as long as the work is getting done.

A very toxic company, who could have had something great had they have their leadership in control.

RTC yea right.
