Cooper-Booth Wholesale Co.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There’s a LOT of negatives, but the pay is the only thing that really makes up for it long term. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company lacks communication between crucial sectors, the loads for the trucks are very often bad, and you are pressured heavily to get it done no matter how bad a load is. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management is understand and easy to work with. Good natured and nice. But anything above management has bad reputations. Lots of miserable warehouse employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10-16 hour days. No breaks. Starting anywhere from midnight to 5am. Constantly asked to work extra hours and switch from day to night shift.

I loaded trucks stacked totes , cigarettes,picked product to stage in a lane to be loaded.A physical demanding job but it’s worth it all the overtime in the world hardest part of the job is the mandatory over time. I enjoyed the results of loading a truck efficiently.Management is pretty good as far as supervisors go. The only real negative thing I have to say about them is the higher ups tend to make prejudice based decisions or discrimination type of decisions. Overall a good job just stay to yourself work as a team as always but just watch out not going to say racist but definitely discriminatory issues maybe prejudice not quite sure.

Extremely disorganized, lack of communication.  attitude from other departments when they are asked to do their job. management played favorites, or downright insulted you. unfair job disbursements. if you didnt feel like doing it you either were forced or except depending on who you were. 

office was extremely dirty too. walls need a fresh coat of paint. carpets are stained and need replaced. bathroom stalls didnt even have locking doors.  parkings lot full of trash. 

HR department was a joke. they definitely did not dress professionally for their roles. 

their were a few good people in the office, but very few. 

emails sent to  forbid other departments answering questions for you. 

Worked for 2 years, never received a yearly raise as promised. Spent 3 days doing 17 hours instead of 12, no compensation. They would switch your schedule before making sure you could make it. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we never got a hazardous pay raise even though we had someone who tested positive. You try talking to managers and they act like they can replace you easily so they won't give out raises. They love leaving you stuck in a position if they know they can't replace. They'd rather compensate or promote their pets or people from the outside. No growing from within, just time lost not furthering your career. PTO is 1 hour a week so you barely save enough for a vacation.

Drive and unload trucks anywhere from PA to North Carolina. (Royal Farms & Independent convenience stores) 
Up and down ramps w/handcarts
Really decent management , overall I believe they mean well
Hard work (will keep you in shape)
Money is above average from what I see listed on some of these applications.
Home daily 
8-14 hours (depends on speed & load)


I don’t really don’t have much bad to say about the company.  It can be a learning curve and tough to do if you’re new to unloading in comparison to just driving, it all gets easier with time. 

Good sign on bonuses. 




The worse company to work for. They over work you. If you’re a good worker they want you to hard harder. If you’re a slacker they want you to slack more. Hours are long and they pick and choose who to discipline about not doing the job task. Wouldn’t recommend anyone to work for this company. You could work from 10-19 hours in a day. Management sucks, and no one knows the job. Everyone is new and learning and causes for a lot of mismanagement. They need to be more professional. Wouldn’t be a bad place if they had better hours and more work life balance. 

The pay is decent, depending on which department you are in. The insurance is not the best, everyone complains about it. The working conditions are poor - it is well over 100 degrees in the warehouse on a hot summer day, and during the winter it is freezing. They treat people like they are replaceable - there is little to no room for growth. It's a decent place if you need to get back on your feet - you will never make it long-term, because they will work you to death first. From their management team, even their HR - no one cares. They only think of themselves.. their point system is ridiculous and only applies to those who aren't on the favorite list. 

Company does not have enough equiptment, if you are running a lift you may wait an hour plus until you can actually get to work. Poor management does not take into account worker needs, they are not at all interested in solving problems. If something does not directly affect management nothing will be done. (and nothing affects them sitting behind a computer typing emails or barking over the intercom) Pretty good pay but bad benefits and vacation time is an absolute joke. Upper management ignored credible harassment claims against middle management. (shocking in this day and age) They play games and have very very clear favoritism.


Most of the Managers worked at another warehouse and fellow associates as well. And if you weren’t one of them I feel like you were just an outcast. Managers never hid their favoritism for associates. Were quick to get on you about not making rate. And once you did they never once praised you. However the one manger went out of his way to check on you, to see if you were performing to the best of your abilities and praise you if you were making rate and such. 

A Cooper booth day if work was always exciting do to production because every day was different.Cooper booth,while I was there I learned how to operate a forklift and a pallet Jack witch was cool and will stay with me always.management was some of the nicest people I have ever ment willing to go there way to listen to whatever the subject is at matter even will help out when production gets backed up.I've met a lot of cool people from my time at Cooper booth,everyone was laid back so it was easy to settle in and worried about the job.
