Edward Don & Company

I was temp for a few months but never hired on after 3 months you are supposed to be hired I was there 6 months and still wasn’t. right after I left they hired on people after 6 months. Managers are shady only helpful for what benefits them. Pay was fine but not for as much as you will get stressed out. Managers are nowhere to be found our answer when you need them for questions or have attitudes about certain things. Had discounts on dishes & sometimes free food.  Managers act so high school makes no sense. They act like they want you to move up in actuality you have to basically praise them. Everybody had got the opportunity to shadow for other jobs even some people twice but I never was. One manager always was monitoring what i was doing on my computer. Other departments didn’t do there job so I had to handle so many complaints and do follow ups w other departments from MONTHS prior. Also mangers would get mad when I would reach out to other departments for stuff that needed be done especially when somebody else already directed me too. Then even when I would be doing stuff correct like checking for returns statuses for special orders managers would get mad yet it’s been MONTHS 3+.  They would get mad about people moving cars on breaks. Was often told I can’t leave for lunch.  Always had to fix other people mistakes. They rely on one person for too much. Some people never did their work at all. I had too many projects to do on top of my regular assignments, I felt like they wanted me to leave so they didn’t have to hire me on but I didn’t everything I had to PLUS MORE. Want us to represent the brand in a positive way but company is just poor in every aspect . Then there would be emails from other departments where you have to make calls about adjusting Quantities for vendor rules or items on back orders they could have which Is a waist of time. In the amount of time that they wrote the email they could of called and got an answer themselves.

awful atmosphere, lack of common courtesy and respect, worst management, on night shift you can't even get a hold of human resources unless you show up hours before your shift, and human resources doesn't even have an ounce of compassion for associates like they pretend and claim to. only the bare minimum of information is given on the first day of working and the management and hr staff expect you to know everything in their policies after the first day and give attitude degrading tones towards you if they think you did something wrong. hr AND management act like they know everything and that your personal life MUST be disclosed to them no matter what goes on. with the actual work they give you absurd goal times to complete work and relentlessly get onto you if you're even a little bit behind even when it's not your fault, and when the system they use has is common connection errors they refuse to believe that impacts the goal time and insist that it can be done regardless, even though they have said that the system is always right and never inaccurate. as example, they expect you to regularly pick over 120 cases, most of which are incredibly heavy, in under 40 minutes, all while maneuvering through aisles and other drivers stopping in the middle of the aisles practically refuse to move out of your way, and having the system disconnect you, and even though management has said they know about the issues, they refuse to believe it's the system and that it's all your fault. no matter how hard you work it will never be enough.

-My supervisor was inconsistent and unpredictable at times. This individual was also hyper-aggressive with write-ups and used them very liberally. (Prior to Ed Don, I had never been written up in any of my previous positions.)


- In this position you were assigned to work with one of the Account Managers, assisting them with a variety of tasks relating to their portfolio of accounts. In essence, the NA Associate and the Acct. Manager formed a team. 
      In my experience, the account managers did not seem to function well in a team environment. They would typically have all nice things to say to your face, but would go behind your back to you manager with anything that was less than positive. You would then find out about these things in your monthly "catch-up" meeting with your manager. (Additionally, these "catch-up" meetings were sometimes 6 weeks apart.) The account managers would then be frustrated that things weren't improving, despite never bothering to communicate them to the other person they were working on a team with. 


 -Ed Don used Groupwise as it's email client, rather than Outlook like the other 98% of the world. This resulted in decreased productivity and greater frustration on days where the software was acting up. (Which was quite often.)

This company lives up to its bad reputation. It seems there is no care for the workers of Edward and Don and the band of union vs temps makes this evident. I've been working for this company for little over two months and have been threatened with being fired over a percentage which has never been fully explained and involved in verbal altercation with employees due to there ridged respect level to workers. The night managers seem to instigate conflict instead of resolving it making for an uncomfortable working experience. Factor in the low quality of gear your forced to deal with to make a seemingly mythical percent you have a complete package of what to expect here. It really is amazing how bad the equipment is from nonfunctional scan guns to faulty pallet jacks getting injured is inevitable to the pace required. Least I forget I have experience working in many warehouses however never have I ever been in a hot warehouse without any industrial fans blowing to relieve some heat stress. But like I mentioned before there is no care for the warehous  workers at Edward and Don

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company is complete trash. Put an app in? Don’t even bother going for the interview, pull that app back asap!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management has no clue what they’re doing. They wrack points up on you and don’t even tell you. Have to work in a dangerous environment with bent racks that could collapse at any point. Constant abuse of employees via means of a shifty union. Want to work an 8 hour shift? Nope, you’ll be working 10-12 hours shifts; mandatory. Want to work 5 days a week? Sure, you’ll work that plus extra days and they don’t even care about your mental health or wellbeing, just their production values. Their system is faulty and complete trash as well.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A complete disaster. No direction, no room for growth. Just a work horse carrying their abusive work culture along.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Absolutely horrible, be prepared to work 10-12 hour shifts; mandatory. 5 days a week and then mandatory days as well. You will have no life.

*Learns nothing all is in the close loop for the preferiti.
*For many years never received training because I was Latino. the other guy was "invited to every kind of training". He was soo "good for nothing"  that the company fired him.
*Managers change faster than people's underwear.
*The is no internal promotion.
*Some managers have been in the same position for many years. If they don't complain all is Ok.
*New managers fire workers on what looks like rotation.
*Management doesn't care no matter how honest you are. They believe the complainers but they do not believe in workers'
*workplace culture is only for few
*The hardest part of the job is that you don't make $$$ to make even with the inflation. Low pay and a lot of responsibility.

I have applied for 2 different position at this company within the last year. I have been doing accounts Payables for over 25 years and for the billing and accounts Payables position I applied they gave the same reason why they didn't want to even give me a chance to meet with them is that they found someone else with more experience. I just need to know how much more experience you need if you been doing accounting over 25 years. So I say they look for people's they know. They "say" they found someone with more experience, but they still running the help wanted ad for account Payables clerk. So, I will not apply for any more position at this company. They don't want to give you a chance to meet with them and discuss all of your qualifications.

Ed. Don has a great past..  Somehow in the 80s they lost their way when they went to a Gestapo management style apparently they still maintain this. They manage by intimidation!  Disgusting!!   A good place to learn sales you will not have good teachers not a long term place for employment!  You will be straight commission and on your own!

They will not promote within the sales team but hire people with no sales experience or leadership abilities whatsoever to lead their sales team!  They will hire people to undermine you,  they will not know the company s product line,  they will be totally ignorant of Ed. Don and Co.!!

How disheartening and belittling can  this be to their sales people?  I would encourage anyone seeking a sales career to not consider going to work for this company

If this sounds unbelievable take a job with them and see for yourself is all I can say!

Large load of email and phones. Requests for quotes from customers and 11 sales rep. I learned a lot about myself, my confidence level, sharpened my knowledge of customers, venders and the food service industry, which can be used in any job. I learned SAP, AS400, Autoquotes, and several web based programs. Management was a little lacks. The Supervisor, Sales Reps, and myself, we work very well together. I was there for them to help make their business a success and they were there for me. We were a great team and was #1 in the district, they said me being there for them was what made it happen.
The hardest part was keeping up with 11 reps and making sure that their requests were finished in a timely manner. Working for the sales reps, they let me know all the time that they were grateful for all I did and accomplished.

We already don't get paid enough and the healthcare (Cigna) offered is terrible but it has gotten worse. I do love my coworkers but the company is cheap and getting cheaper. We were all forced back into the office 3 days a week. Now we can't use any remote work provided equipment because the company forbids it saying employees have to buy their own computer equipment for it. Then we were told we can't work remote if we are sick so now people's health will be at risk even more. We also FINALLY got office wifi but of course that is not for employees to use only guests. They threw us a pizza party like it would make any of this better... We are losing good people because of management treating everyone badly. I have been here for years now and it's only gotten worse. The employees who keep Don alive deserve better.
