Endries International, Inc.

Have you ever wanted to experience a domestic abusive style relationship but at your job where you'll have the chance to feel what manipulation, gaslighting, and harassment feels like? Well then Endries is a perfect fit for you.

The top leaders in the warehouse at the Brillion location, including but not limited to: the production leaders, supervisors, warehouse managers and the Employee Affairs HR rep are the embodiment of all of that. The warehouse manager has said to a few employees who were getting harassed by a Production Leader, that he likes to twist words on people instead of helping, as well as HR saying to an employee, "if you're getting harassed why dont you just quit and find another job?" Instead of solving the issue.

The only way to have a secure job at Endries International is to either be friends or related to the family. Since January 1, 2020 Endries has fired all of weekend crew, third shift (after repeatedly telling third shift they had no need to worry about losing their job), and at least ~25 people from both warehouse and office, while more employees are now quitting due to the harassment and lies as well as other employees who've worked with the company for 10+ years getting fired with no explanation. If you have a chance to put in your two weeks to move to another job, the Warehouse Management team will just fire you before those 2 weeks are up.

If you are of college age and need a job during the summer or when your back from school, this is a great TEMPORARY job. They'll treat college age adults like family and pay them MORE then that of their long term warehouse employees. They'll treat you nice hoping you come back for a job after college then they'll treat you like last week's tuna casserole.

If you are between the ages of 18-30 you'll expect the treatment I outlined earlier as well not taken seriously by your Production Leaders, Supervisor, or Warehouse Manager.

If you are 40 and above and can't find a job anywhere else, they'll treat you slightly better since you aren't a "kid" in their eyes.

If you want to apply for a PL (production leader) spot, you can get the title to get paid slightly better then your colleagues and not be a leader or do your job correctly.

The Warehouse Management team as well as the CEO and COO came up with a "set-up to fail" bonus program where you'll earn a certain amount of cents to the amount of work getting done in the business. In the two years since creating the program it has only paid out twice to employees and both times has been paid out an amount between $200-$300 in a 4 month period. Most of the time when the program gets close to closing and paying out, management will quickly change the numbers or we'll have a 'mysterious' unreported accident that makes all the employees lose their bonus.

Out of all the harassment I've personally experienced here as well as a few employees still working at Endries International, the Warehouse and Office as a WHOLE is one big drama pit. The management and HR team are very unprofessional and will not help you with any issues that you may experience while working here. If you are a young female working here, expect to be harassed by the supervisors and warehouse manager and if you tell them or HR about it management will just make your life miserable or fire you.

If you have the chance, look elsewhere for a job, unless you're a felon, Endries will hire you on the spot.

Where do I start.... Really no opportunities to advance, unless you are one of the favorites. They seem to run place, they can get away with anything and are protected by the supervisors. To be a favorite just agree with everyone above you and just be their best friend, you'll get what you want. They like to dangle the carrot in front of you. They will use this with Production Leader openings, they use it to push you along and make you try harder. They’ll make it seem like you have a good chance but then just give it to one of favorites anyways. 

They do not fire employees that fail to do their jobs. To make it worse this includes associates that are in management teams. We had brought these matters up many times, and little to nothing has been done. They also refuse to get rid of employees that make the environment worse for others. They keep people around that are negative and just plain mean/hostile towards others. Many members of the management (including supervisors) in the warehouse are highly guilty of gossiping, complaining and making fun of other workers….  How do these people hold and have these jobs?  Including members of management, people like to look for your mistakes and then hold it above you. It seems that Endries is a firm supporter of the whole “a body is body” logic. 

The amount of work you accomplish doesn't reflect on pay or how you are treated. The harder you work, the uglier the work gets for you. You are stuck with doing more complicated or strenuous tasks, this would be fine if you are compensated for it, but not there. Unless you are a favorite, then you'll get a better raise. You can do twice the work but still make the same $12.50 as the person next to you. 

They also say the pay is comparable to other businesses they talk to. Who are you talking to? McDonalds? 

They keep acting and saying things are going to change…but that never really happened. Things have only gotten worse over the last year and looks to continue at this rate. The warehouse has been on mandatory overtime for the past two years, though they keep saying it will let up soon. It was always our fault that we were behind, told "we control our own destiny" and that we create the overtime because we aren't getting enough done. Little do they realize that they create their own destiny, by mistreating employees. They (Endries) are the reason they are short handed and behind, the door is revolving and they are fine with that. 

They also harped about being a “team”. The company should back this up and treat the warehouse like they are a part of the “team”. They show fabricated appreciation, where is the authenticity and generosity? After all, the warehouse associates are the people that do the thing you do. My job was no less important than anybody else’s there. They reminded us that everybody is replaceable,  everybody but those at the top. But why do I and many others feel less then? Thanks….

It really depends on who you are, not what you do.... I’m not a disgruntled employee, just someone who wanted things to actually change. I’d be elated to replace this post with a more positive one, prove me wrong. 

Also, if you do decide to work there don’t trust anybody.

A typical day at work at Endries is filled with a perfect balance of hard work and fun. There’s always lots of laughter in the air, and despite the fun atmosphere, we stay focused on meeting our daily goals. It’s truly a team effort, where everyone works together to ensure the day’s objectives are achieved, making the hard work feel rewarding and meaningful.

As a Production Lead, I've learned so much over the years, especially from working in a diverse workplace. Being surrounded by individuals from various backgrounds and experiences has given me a unique perspective on how to effectively manage and collaborate with everyone. One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is the importance of communication and adaptability in such an environment. It’s essential to be open-minded and considerate, especially when managing a team with different working styles.

Throughout my time here, we've had several changes in management, and I’ve had the opportunity to learn something valuable from each manager. Each one has contributed to shaping my leadership approach, whether it was about strategic decision-making, handling challenges, or building strong relationships with our team. These experiences have made me a more well-rounded leader and have enhanced my ability to guide the team through any challenges that arise.

The workplace culture at Endries is one of the standout features that makes this company so special. It fosters a welcoming and warm environment where everyone feels valued and supported. The amazing associates we have truly make this a place where coming to work is enjoyable. It’s like being part of a family where everyone has each other’s backs, and we all share the common goal of success.

Of course, like any job, there are challenges. One of the hardest parts of my role is dealing with certain people’s personalities and attitudes at times. However, these moments have also provided valuable learning experiences. Navigating these situations has helped me grow in emotional intelligence, patience, and conflict resolution, which are important skills for a leader.

The most enjoyable part of my job is definitely the chance to mentor and support our associates. I find immense satisfaction in helping them grow professionally, ensuring they feel happy and motivated every day. Knowing that I am part of their journey and making a positive impact on their work life is incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, ensuring we meet the highest standards to satisfy our customers and sales team brings a sense of pride to the work we do.

Overall, working at Endries has been a rewarding experience, filled with growth, learning, and plenty of moments that make each day enjoyable. I’m grateful for the opportunities to lead, collaborate, and contribute to such a fantastic workplace.

I wouldn’t recommend working there. I spent most my time doing job and wasn't able to really learn anything else. 

The company seemed pretty shady across all departments from the warehouse and office. Management acted like they cared but everyone knew that they didn't, or they showed very little effort. Christmas was always fun because they just raffled off gifts the company got for free from vendors or suppliers and all they gave us was a “meal” that was just ham, we had to bring the rest of the food. 

Management in the warehouse is filled with lairs and selfish individuals, not many you can trust. They have always lacked accountability and rewarding those who work hard. They just focus and like the workers that say yes and make pets out of them. The warehouse still has workers that should have been let go a longtime ago, very nosy and rude people that caused drama along with a negative environment. Many of the older females target the younger females for whatever reason and make you feel bad. There is one female in the shipping department that is pure rude, mean and slams things but management just ignores it because she’s nice to them. 

The production leaders on the day shift were okay overall. The two youngers males were helpful and nice. The others not so much; one male would stare and glare at people in the aisles, another male one made you feel dumb and was slow to respond to providing help, and the older female one seemed fake. The two supervisors in the day seemed to try, care and make a difference for us, they didn't seem to be like the others in management which is good.

a typical day at work was either fast paced, or the workers were lax because we were ahead of schedule, the schedule is what determined if we were ahead or behind, it would determine if we need to move fast or not.

I learned how to be consistent with weighing product and packing and shipping and counting product properly, it gave me a very good understanding of how a warehouse works and operates.

the lower management was kind and friendly and was great at teaching and was not very high strung. however the bigger bosses were very crude and tough on everybody. they were generally trying to give a terror like demeanor and make people uncomfortable.

workplace culture was unique and dynamic, there were very many different kinds of people. it was the make or break part of your job, the people around you. although you werent supposed to be social. its impossible to not be social there, everybody was social, even the biggest bosses and managers at the building who showed up to work everyday could talk your ear off. although we try our best to be anti-social and just be progressive in our work. sometimes you may come across somebody radically different from you in life, and it can prove to be difficult.

the toughest part of the job, was either the physical labor sometimes, youre either moving around too fast too sudden or your just about standing like a rock. sometimes the hardest parts was also dealing with delinquent like employees or the cut-throat boss.

most enjoyable part of the job by far is the knowledge you gain from learning how to work in a warehouse. if gives a sense of realism and responsibility in the international world.

The work day at Endries depends on your gender and if you are one of the favored by management. 

If you are a woman, it is likely you will be working on a lane, counting packing and shipping small ups packages. These are the lighter load type jobs, in which they stereotype women to.

If you are a man, you will be considered the brunt of the load and will be put on a forklift every day. Pulling product from shelves, putting product away or similar. Do not expect to get off a truck once trained. They start training on the lanes, but once moved to a forklift, you will stay there.

The work is consistent, and it is always there as Endries has been understaffed for years and have been working mandatory 50-60 hour work weeks for a year now, with no end in sight. 

The people who are veteraned into Endries are generally stuck in their ways and if you come in and do things other than their way, you will be outcasted or spoken about. 
This is a very cliquey company. The management and HR director fall right into those cliques. 
The hard working people, men and women, are very often overlooked while the people who can crack a joke or have a pretty face will go far and advance, or not see a lick of disciplinary action for their lack of work produced.

***Hard work often means nothing to this company, and you will not be rewarded for it.***

If you must work here, because the benefits(healthcare, 401k..) and flexibility of the company are outstanding... do your work and keep to yourself as you have job security for life with Endries.

You could always work a little harder and there could be rewards. You're getting the job done but not working hard enough to be offered overtime even though we're up to our butt in work and customer satisfaction (contracts) are priority number one because those cost the company money...A trained monkey could do your job and therefore we don't feel that you're being paid unfairly...actually said a former company executive. You all do pretty much the same job and should not expect to be paid more than those who just started and know the job just because you've been here for 16 years and have that much more experience...said The Former Warehouse Manager...then he was promoted. Give the new guy a chance said a newly hired manager who dismantled our teams, deposed 3 shift supervisors and back filled their positions with Millennial types then tried to do away with 3rd shift as a production crew...realized that mistake immediately but always had a sore butt about it until they succeeded. The shift they got rid of on average has years of experience with several in the 20 year range and the median age of workers on the shift was 50+ while at the same time retaining a shift of mostly 20 somethings that come in to work only when they feel like it and rarely does the hammer come down. The workplace is fraught with snitches and goody-two-shoes constantly running to the supervisors for brownie points and getting nothing in return. May you feel the sting of your misdeeds people!

If you want to go into work and bust your butt off only to have select individuals harass and single you out, then this job is for you. This is an extremely cliquey business. If you are a butt kisser and play buddy buddy with the supervisors, then you are just fine. If you keep to yourself and mind your own business when you are working, then you are constantly ridiculed, tattled on, and talked to. 
There is one particular group of younger women and a guy that has a sole purpose of going to work to get others in trouble. They complain about their job, chit chat in circles for 80% of their shift and like to start drama. However, other people get yelled at for multitasking and talking while they work. It's unfair treatment unless you are one of the favorites. 
When you have an issue with said clique and bring it to the attention of warehouse leaders, you are told something will be done about and then nothing is done. It's gossiped about and matters only get worse. The sad thing about it all is that some of the supervisors are just as bad with gossip as the employees out on the floor. The first shift supervisor doesn't even know a thing about the work that is being done by his employees. 
This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with, felt like I was back in high school.

The manager only cares about the numbers without considering employees(he says he cares but he doesn't). Any issue that I had with the leads or any person he favorites was a problem towards me, he never listens, talks over you to shut you up. He only cares what he believes, I had to quit and then report them to HR in order for them to do something about their issues and even so, they really haven't done much. Favoritism, unfairness and exploitation is how they work. The people who deserve to move up get held back and the worst workers get promoted and raises. 

I learned to do my job at a very high level due to the fact that I did the same thing for 5yrs. I finally tried moving up when a position was open at assisting shipping. I was denied the opportunity because the manager was comfortable with the way things were running on the lanes, a couple weeks later he gave the position to someone else that brought to the table as much as I did. 

I made good friends in there and coming in to work and get to work along side them was the most enjoyable part of the job.
