Typical day at work involved completing tickets and tasks as they came in.  Some travel in the regional area was required, and it was generally a fairly predictable and enjoyable place to work.  I learned many things about IT at a time when things were changing very rapidly, and the PC and Microsoft Windows was replacing the former terminal and Netware environments.  The management was normally good, depending on the manager.  The top level management was professional, but held down wages.  It was a great place to begin a career and gain valuable experience you couldn't get anywhere else for your age, education and experience level.  The trade-off was low wages.  It was a great environment, but only a small percent of employees could make a long term career working there.  Only the most skilled, educated and productive employees could expect stability and advancement.  The hardest part of the job was hav

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great group of people.  It has its flaws like anywhere else but for the 5 years I've been here, I couldn't ask for a better group of folks to work for. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It can be a bit chaotic at times due to management conflicts but that seems to be a minimal

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fairly laid back and minimal stress factor as long as you just do your job. Its not a very close knit group of workers as far as a "team" feel but everyone seems to get along.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is show up on time, clock in, do my job and clock out. As long as you do what's expected then there is zero friction

Worked the evening shift (5 PM to 1 AM) which was a bit too isolated from the day shift/main work force. I would see the people in my office when I started the shift for an average of 1 to 2 minutes per work day. I would rarely (once every 6 months or so) see my supervisor as he was already gone by the time I started. It was simple work, very boring, using software called JDEwards for most of my duties. There was call for a minimal use of initiative on my part, just run these reports at these times, print invoices at this time and if anybody should call during the shift with problems, if there was no immediate, obvious solution, to call the appropriate personnel for assistance.

The distribution warehouse is not the place to be! Management needs a course in how to treat their employees! You definitely have plenty of work as far as a stable job goes. You are treated like you are children and are not appreciated for the job you do. The pay is terrible! Work load isn't distributed fairly. A few people get slammed with orders while others do not. I love to work and stay busy, but if you talk to another worker for even a minute you are scolded like you are a child! The work gets done every day but you still get treated terribly! Employees that have been there for years make almost the same as new hires. No chance for advancement!

The work environment was calm and clean. I learned how to work with many different types of personialities and women. The company was majority women. The management team ran their shifts well and knew how to handle conflict very well, as there were alot of conflicts with most of the women The most enloyable part of the job was that it was physical and I love jobs that keep me busy. The hardest part of the job was the temperature conditions. The company makes medical supplies so everything has to be sterile. The temperature always had to stay low, which made cold conditions for the employess all the time.

I really enjoyed my time with DeRoyal. Traveling to different places across the US and learning about all of our technologies and seeing them be used in the hospitals and how it works was great. I worked in a small department but we serviced a  far larger client base on the regular. This made for it be a very energetic job at times, with the occasional slow period. Unfortunately with the rising inflation, I was let go. I would definitely recommend this job to anyone that has the experience needed.

I worked here for a few months, only due to relocating. The ladies and manager in my department were wonderful to work with. Always willing to assist me when needed. The company provides free fruit from their on site cafe, has a workout room, a gym and scheduled activities to promote good health. I was always greeted with a smile by all employees. I would definitely recommend other people to apply here.

This Place DeRoyal in Powell, Tn have the worst Production.If You want to be Discriminated This has it all ...Employees cant stay because of the Attitude that the fulltime workers have ...Technician of the plant dont wanna fix nothing bt wanna have 8 hours of bad product all day ....just horrible all they way around the job horrible and the people are uncomfortable to work with and the pay could be better ...6 people quit same week I was there 4months and never could keep a employee....

Great opportunity to learn and interact with good people.  If you have a strong work ethic and don't feel entitled to being spoonfed, professional advancement will come.
Requires dedication to solving problems without an easy switch. 
If you enjoy being challenged and personal satisfaction you will enjoy the opportunity. 

They had me on a forklift that had a dry rotted wheel that was falling apart. I let the management know and they did nothing. I went around a curve and the bad wheel caused me to slide into the wall.  So instead of taking responsibility They fire me .
