Douglas Companies

I dedicated over 10 yrs to this company and thought of them as my family. Loved my job and built what i thought was lasting trustworthy relationships. I worked in different departments -warehouse managers are great, sales and merchandising managers are great, but office management and AP/AR beware. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE! If you do not suck up and get in with the "right crowd", you will be gone so quick. They will drive you to quit or try to get you fired. EVERYONE talks about EVERYONE. if 1 person knows your business, the whole company will know within minutes. And they WILL find out your business. I took on so many responsibilities and worked my booty off, but in the end its all about what booty you kiss!

I would drive between 250-350 miles a day. I would leave the office at 4:30 every morning. Some days I would finish my deliveries and be home by 12:00 pm and other days I wouldn't get home till around 6:00 pm depending on my route. I would average between 150- 700 pieces per day on my truck. I would pull my ramp and load the totes and bundles on a hand dolly. I would have to scan everything I delivered with a hand scanner. This I liked for the scanner would let me know if I was missing anything for that delivery. Management was great for I get along with everyone. My co-workers and I got along great. I had to leave due to my mom and dad. They are up in age and needed me there. I gave Douglas a 2 weeks notice and stayed the third week to train the new driver my route. Management said if I ever decide to return I would always have my job.

Picking orders is physical work, but easy at the same time once you get the hang of it. Managment is always there to help with any issues that may arise and very encouraging. Hours worked depend on how fast and efficient you work on your respected shift. I started out an order puller and was able to move up from there. It is a great company and between first shift and second shift there are hours for any type of schedules. Good management, benefits, and hours. 

Douglas Companies is a family owned business where you see and interact with the owners frequently.  They are people who are hands on in all aspects of the business. All employees are expected to put in a good days work and you will be rewarded if you work hard.  Warehouse work isn't easy anywhere you work but I think they are fair.  There is opportunity for advancement if you stay with your job.  Office personnel are friendly and helpful. Managers are working to train other staff to make all jobs run smoothly as one operation.

Most degrading place to work. Office staff is nosey and drama and the owners are condescending. They don’t give raises. They expect you to do your job and pile many other tasks on you. They expect you to work while you’re taking vacation and nights and weekends. It will consume your life. They discriminate on Christmas bonuses giving the most physical workers in warehouse $25 gift cards and the office workers get thousands of dollars IF they have children, if not, you barely get anything. It’s very inconsiderate 

My biggest complaint is the company hired refused to hire for management positions from with-in. Instead of promoting warehouse workers up they brought in new people. This created leadership that didn't know how to run the warehouse properly and didn't understand the job. They also pay less than any warehouse in the state.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The co-workers. I was welcomed with open arms

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with HR and their lack of knowledge. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ok. A lot of gossip in the office and lack of knowledge in the HR department 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very Busy but I like that way. Have to meet deadlines

It is like a recess playground at a child day care. where the most obnoxious children that are seeking attention get that attention. along with the bullying that would also exist where such mentality is present

It’s is a black cloud over this place. The management don’t have good communication skills. They don’t care about there employees. They will over work you and don’t care if you become sick. Watch out for favoritism here. Allot of employees here are related. If you not apart of the Clan/family, You are considered a outsider

management isn’t that great at all. they sit in the office instead of assisting where help is needed. if you finish routes and wrap case pallets, you’ll still be waiting on other routes to be done. if you take a break , management will come find you and ask “ got something ready back there?” and if you tell them no they’ll tell you to find something to do.
