Feesers Inc.

They hire trainees. They have good equipment and maintenance. Thats the only pros .
Made to work 14 to 16 hour days routinely during school year. 12 to 14 hours during summer. With commute that can be 16 to 18 hours per day. Prepare yourself for 5 to 6 hours sleep per night. You are home only to bathe and go to bed. These days 
are filled with unloading freight. Not so bad if you do a normal work load but they pile it on and see no issues with 14 stops knowing you have almost a 2 hour trip there and back and it can not be completed. They have zero problem treating you like a  slave and overburdenign you. And I was hammering it out. Other drivers said they used to get back at 2 or 3 bit nownit is 6 and 7. The managers lie and tell you that the others get back early bit I was there and we left at the same time and got back at the same time. 
Management constantly lies. Something the older drivers warned me about from day one. Consitent lying. 
Any issues will not be dealt with whatsoever. 
Be ready to never see or hug your own children except on weekends.  They couldnt give a hoot about you. 
Management acts a gatekepers to insulate executives from you. 
You are a human resoure lime a lump of coal to be burned up and used up. They talk otherwise bit that is the true story. 
If you have any complaints about the way you are treated they will fire you on the spot. 
They jad a driver there for 23 years and he told me he had to go see a cancer doctor. They told him he couldnt take the day off and had to come in for half a day. After 23 years man! That tells you the real deal with management and "being treated lile family"
They switched pay so you dont get paid for anything but miles drove and peices delivered. Noatter if it is 2 skid going downstairs and takes 2 hours or a 30 minute drop. 
More lies about it being for your benefit. Just a cost cutter for them. 
I umderstand it used to be different bit with the owner in his 90s they brought in a CEao and it is all a sickening corporate environment. 
The other workers and very low level supervisors are great. The shop giys ate great. Management and owners make it horrible.

Work schedule was Sunday to Thursday, but Friday to Saturday were skeleton crew work days for high contract paying customer pick orders only which made them volunteer days. Time schedule was 3pm to 11pm or 75% orders were picked which made getting out time range anywhere from 12 midnight to 2am the next day. Fridays and Saturdays were same start time but end time ranged from 6pm to 8pm. My fellow coworkers both in my department (frozen) and in all other departments (crisper, and dry) were very friendly and comfortable to work with. Pay schedule and rates were somedays considered under paying but it varies with the shift and job occupation. Management was the reason I left due to lack of communication, respect and understanding. Example: I had gotten sick to the extend it became a chore just to role over and use the trashcan. I took one day off to recover then still not feeling well I requested to be put in dry side for the day to make my recovery faster rather than stay just as sick in the frozen area. This form of transfer from one department to another for a day was common for frozen workers but to do so, one worker from dry would have to take my place for that day. My managers said no one accepted the request when I had asked 3 random workers who said they would. To put it short my managers lied or didn't care about my current situation. The next day my sickness was the same as my call off day so I request again for the one day transfer when my managers tell me "You're staying in the freezer and that's that". I quit that day because I can't work for a company I care about and give my all, but in return they treat me lower than they should. So if I were to go back to Feesers, it will only be when management is more considerate of their workers and there are plenty other coworkers who would gladly agree with this review.

Working at feesers is the definition of "I'm here for a check".  The company pinches pennies and wonders why morale is poor. Only certain departments get bonuses for working on holidays, while other departments work on the same holiday with no bonus. Actual holidays are non existent for everyone outside of the "upstairs offices." There are still employees working  on thanksgiving, chrsitmas,new years, memorial, independance and labor day. Many long time employees are there because they are close to retirement.  Certain upper level managers are there becuase they are "yes men" even though they do not follow many of the  companies 5 core values. They have not kept up with changes in technology. Constant micromanagment from upper level managers, based on their prior roles in the company. Not many spots for advancement.  Raises are almost non-existent to the working class employees. 
There is constant tension between departments. There is constant micromanagement of employees, and they are not empowered to do their jobs. Most people just keep their head down and go with the flow. Vacation policy is a joke, 8 days for the first 3 years.  Insurance is on the expensive side and not that good.  Pay is well below average for almost every department. Ownership is more concerned with interests outside of this business.  The owner almost never shows up nor is known by the employees. They show up to be seen at employee appreciation, Christmas ect.  401k is vested from day 1. 

What is the best part of working at the company?

Routing and trying to maintain consistent pay, schedule times, and also having no voice.

It’s not terrible okay. 
Pros
Learned skilled maneuvering ability with tractor trailer (38-48) 
Discounted bulk food prices
Other drivers are pretty cool
Management lenient about most things including attendance 

Con
Routing is unorganized and never gets better
Pay is minimal compared to most places but you take the less pay to get that lenient job life
Start times different daily 3-6a start could be any start from these times at 15 minute increments.
Management lenient ( drivers take advantage and hurts the good drivers like myself. And nothing gets truly corrected)
No voice. Many years in management 15 to be exact for myself and they will not hear any suggestions and go with it’s always been this way approach

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Early start
Punch in and check route
Get truck and make sure nobody screwed it up
Deliver products in hard to get places (diner in the mountains)
Laboring work and long day

Used to be a solid company.  Used to be hourly pay, as well.  The new pay system CAN work in your favor, but often times doesn’t.  

Good place to get CDL experience. But if you have experience, look elsewhere. You WILL break your back and work long hours.

There is no retention pay or break down pay.  There is no bonus / incentive pay for terrible deliveries.  If there are 3 flights of slippery steps, you’re getting the same pay as someone with a straight shot through a ground level door.  Additionally there is no bonus for stuff that is extremely heavy, such as Boston Market. “Need to be able to lift 50lbs”?  Try 100lbs with cases of the excel beef.  

It also used to be top notch equipment. But the budget cuts have shimmed that up real nice.  They’re using recaps now. Good luck with no breakdown pay. 

As far as management goes…
You will be continually lied to over and over.  Not sure the reasoning on NOT just being straight with your workers. But over the last couple years the (collective) confidence in the leadership has declined considerably.

There's lots of buddy system that goes on at Feeser's. Even when trying to change the chaotic culture to positive structure, it's met with favoritism in the workplace. Feeser's does not pay as well as other similar companies in the case selecting field. Work/break schedules are not consistent. Most times freezer gear is unavailable in the correct size due to being unprepared for new hires. Training is not good either for any role. PIT Equipment is very old and may cause accidents daily. More broken pallets than good pallets to select orders. Very unsafe overhead skid storing. Always damaged food products scattered throughout the department selecting aisles. Management favors a few versus equal fairness throughout departments. 

A company with this kind of history deserves leaders who understand stewardship, not just authority. Until leadership prioritizes structure, communication, and actual operational needs over personal comfort, the downward trend will continue.

It’s a very labor intensive job, but the money is good. Management is.., well let’s just say they want to be good, but there’s just something not right in how they go about things. Unfortunately there’s a lot of turnover in every position except perhaps the office staff. That makes it harder on everyone else to pick up the slack. Overall you are well compensated, good benefits and assigned trucks. You have in house fuel, onsite truck wash and decent mechanic staff. I’d have stayed if it weren’t for my age and having been an out of shape desk jockey most of my life. Good for young, strong ambitious people. 

I worked at for Feesers for several years. I was a food delivery driver, class a. The routing made no sense, a lot Of back and forth for no reason. the trucks were loaded awful, management would ask you to take pictures of issues but nothing ever changed. They pay by the piece and mile, but if you have to sit and wait for a customer for a couple hours or you break down a couple hours they don’t pay you for that. Bottom line all they care about is make the delivery, in any circumstances even if you’re risking getting hurt. They claim to be a family company but the truth is you’re just a warm body. They don’t care if you’re a great worker, you’re replaceable in their minds. They’ll screw you out of vacation pay and bonuses so don’t bother giving a two week notice. 

When first hired, the atmosphere surrounding the company was very family oriented. Management was very friendly and trustworthy. A few years ago, all upper management was cleared out with new people filling the roles. The culture changed soon after and has led to much of the Transportation department with unfavorable views of how things are currently run. 

Be expected to be given a lot of lip service and empty promises, even as you gain seniority. From the CEO down, small promises, that were not anything major (not salary related), could not be fulfilled. 

In summary, at the current time (Aug 2021), I would only advise working here as a driver if you’re looking to get experience and move on.
