FST Logistics

The job would be great if upper management took accountability for their jobs. There is no structure, no ownership and no stability. Don’t expect to move up in the company unless you constantly bust your butt everyday and harp on your supervisor day in and day out to even consider moving you up/increasing pay. You are expected to do more than what you are getting paid for. Hard working employees get taken advantage of extremely. It is draining. The management is extremely unprofessional and makes inappropriate comments that is overheard by upper management and absolutely nothing is done about it. The supervisors just sit around all day and put all work and responsibilities on the employees and when work isn’t done question your work ability and why you aren’t doing more. 

At FST Logistics the shift begins with a shift start up meeting detailing what is on the plate for the day and where we as associates can give our feedback on things happening in the building. I had zero experience in a logistics warehouse. The training team taught me everything from using an RF scanner to driving the equipment. The pay and benefits is what makes the job worth the time. I always wake up ready to go to work and want to be here everyday. The management is great they take very good care of us employees/ family. Also the management motivates us to do our jobs thoroughly and precisely to one day advance our position within the company. I love being part of the FST family.

I would recommend this company to professional candidates starting out in the logistics industry, as it is an enjoyable, fast-paced work environment with PTO and benefits. I, however, do not believe employees (at least in the department I work for) have great compensation for the work, dedication, and time that has been provided. In addition, the supervisor never holds specific individuals accountable for their re-occurring poor work habits that pull the group down (i.e. not being on time for work and calling off last minute a lot).

Your best is never enough. ALWAYS mandatory OT (no flexibility, 10.5 hour days all the time and mandatory weekend shifts VERY frequently), BAD management (3rd shift literally had no lead to address problems), TERRIBLE workload distribution (even on 10.5 hour mandatory days I would get stuck there for 11-13 hours in order to complete my "work load" for the day) and NEVER enough equipment for everyone to do their jobs (everyone is always arguing and fighting to get decent equipment / any equipment at all.) Pay was good, but does not compensate for the AWFUL experience you'll have there.

They’re dishonest, they’ll hype up the company to make it sound good but once you get in. It’s nothing like they say. 

I learned nothing from them, everything I learned was from trial and error.
Management cut corners, they’ll hold you back as long as their position is secure.
They pick and choose who they show respect.
The hardest part about the job is dispatch.
The most enjoyable part about the job is driving.

Don’t get me wrong, I made a lot of connections that I will cherish forever. Unfortunately, it is a job and not a fraternity. Growth opportunities only really comes in the form of “somebody quit” or “we created a new title”.. Performance rarely moves the needle. On top of this, the leadership seems to struggle to acknowledge team members that don’t drive profit on a surface level (they love brokerage and marketing while customer service and IT can often be left behind in that sense). Overall, not a terrible place to work, but be prepared to fight tooth and nail for any form of recognition if not in the 2 previously mentioned departments.

A typical day consist of communication internally and externally with many different carriers, customers, and shippers to get freight to and from it intended destination. I learned how to multi - task between multiple computer systems, talking on the phone, and communicating problems internally to get issues resolved in a timely manner. The workplace culture was very comfortable and we all became a small family who took care of each other. The hardest part of the job was having to handle intense situations that would arise from issues in transit.

I left another 3PL to be part of the FST team as I heard they had the culture I was looking for. I am not disappointed.

The work environment is solid as it tries to keep pace with the growth. 

The leadership team is engaged and doing to right things to support operations. 

Many customers are growing at double digit rates which can be a challenge in todays job market. 

They are focused on the employee experience as they want to set folks up for success and be the employer of choice.

Fast-paced and constantly busy when work was available. I learned that the work place is a team effort. Management is ther to make the work place a safe and comfortable environment. I love the people i work with and team work being utilized. The hardest part of the job would be stopping what you are doing to help others and still make hourly quata. The enjoyable part of the job is going home knowing you gave 100%.

They are officially bankrupt. It happened 2 months ago. But they haven't told anyone. They are over working everyone. Underpaying for the work done. And they fired so many people I had to cover 3 different departments. Everyone there is sabotaging everyone's jobs to make sure they keep their own.
