Fosdick Fulfillment

If I could give 0 stars or negative stars I would. There is no work life balance. Management is very bad. They allow some ppl to work from home & others to NOT work from home (even though we did during lockdown). This means if there are 18 inches of snow in front of your door, you can't work from home. Fosdick would rather you get injured on the way to work-- in snow, OR take one of only10 days off (used for doc appts,personal days,sick days,vacay days or blizzard days) than to make sure their clients are serviced well. You have 10 days.It snowed more than 17 inches twice last winter. That's 2 days right there if you don't have a Jeep. Also, you can't take any unpaid time off or they will write you up and fire you. It's happened more times than I can count!  The stress level is ridiculously high.Compensation is low comparatively. You are micromanaged by upper management (who will constantly pat themselves on the back even though they lie to all their clients. They LIE! They make employees lie also!). Their measly 10 days off are "use it or lose it" and it's so stressful there that if you do take a day off, it takes you a week to catch up! They are losing people in droves. Between May and the end of June 2021, I counted at least 14 or 15 people who left the company. It is a revolving door. I've never written a bad review of a company before. Run, don't walk, if they offer you a job. It is absolute horror!

I adore this job. The work itself feels fulfilling and manageable. The coordinating/scheduling management has been incredibly kind and accomodating to my personal needs, health needs, etc. and the schedule is very flexible, so it’s definitely an ideal job in that front. My biggest issue by far is that the pay is atrociously low for the warehousing industry. I believe warehouse workers are under appreciated and underpaid in the field as a whole, but Fosdick takes it to a new low by paying its employees minimum wage. $13/hr is a joke of a wage, and the work itself is no easier than the work I did at Amazon, where I was making $16.75/hr, and even then, I felt underpaid for the amount of hard work I was doing.

The company’s flexibility is fantastic. I can’t stress it enough. My coordinating/scheduling managers are really easy to talk to and very supportive and make it very easy to take off when need be. However, the atrocious pay cannot be understated, and it doesn’t even scale well as you move up. Everyone is heavily underpaid and it really needs to change. The average starting hourly wage for warehouse workers in Connecticut is $15.38/hr, and to my knowledge, our shift leads don’t even make that much.

I enjoy working for Fosdick. It is a family run company- the difference shows in all of the great things they do for the employees vs larger corporate run businesses. Every year they have multiple cookouts,  holiday lunches, and random snacks like cider donuts for fall and green bagels for St Patrick’s Day. There’s raffles every few months. There is a bonus for Perfect Atrendance. They have a company picnic at Holiday Hill and you can bring your family for an entire day. Every Christmas they give a bonus  to all of the employees which is so rare in this business! They also do a lot to raise money for different local charities. As for work, yes, you are expected to work while you are there, and some jobs are more labor intensive than others but it’s typical warehouse responsibilities. Nothing is too difficult as long as you pay attention and ask questions if you don’t understand a task. You are frequently given an opportunity to go to different departments and help out so it’s nice to get a change of scenery and learn something new and if you are good at what you do they will ask you to help out in other buildings. Overtime is available sometimes depending on how busy it is.

The job itself is not difficult at all, very repetitive work. Like most companies customers can be a bit though most times, but its not the way customers treat me since I have the skills to turn around any difficult or irate customer. Its the way management treats the employees - and reporting to HR isn't very helpful at all as I went to HR 3 different times in the 3 years I worked there and nothing was done in return. I do appreciate the experience as this was the first call center I ever worked at, but they offer no room for growth and in 3 years I was only making a dollar more than when I started. As my skills where discovered I was given way more responsibilities and duties without any pay raise and at one point I was even training new temps again without any raise, and that wouldn't of been an issue if at the very least I was appreciated since I am very hard working and love to take pride in my work but for my well being I decided to no longer be a part of that company.

Fosdick is really great place to work.(If anyone have intention to work) Its more than 2 years i am working for Fosdick, learned tons of things from my co-employee/my supervisors. Supervisor/Manager are really helpful. Even if you work in different department they will never refuse to help you. All production team lead try to help each other. Everyday i learn something new, my supervisor always try to help me out with everything. Trained me in different things, how can i improve myself/ how to make things better/how to become a good employee!! When i did some mistake, they never got mad, trained me again and again. When i started working in Fosdick, i didn't had any experience with any thing. They gave me lot of chances to prove myself to them. They changed my life. After all one thing i can say, from the beginning level to higher level Fosdick is great and fun place to work. I enjoy my challenging Fosdick Life.

In the beginning, this was a great company to work for.  Inventory Control was new to the company so we were all learning together on what issues we needed to fix and revamp the procedures to decrease the number of errors.   It is family owned and family comes first.  It is becoming more obvious as each year passes. There is always enough work happening that does get you the training that you need to be good at your job.  Because our department is so small along with the overall company that there isn't much opportunity for growth.  Training levels differ between buildings and a lot of the attention to what is important isn't focused.  Entry level jobs are posted internally and externally.  Experienced jobs are appointed and not many chances are given.

Minimum wage pay, tells me your nothing more than a throwaway and they could care less if you came back. The people in supervisory roles need people management skills. You don't motivate people by swearing at them and yelling at them. God forbid you stand still for 10 seconds or there ON YOUR BUTT. If you have no choice, have no other job and you MUST work its fine until something better comes along. Even after you get hired form "temp to hire" not only do they still pay minimum wage they cut it by a PENNY. I'm SO glad to be OUT of there.
Overall, its a job but don't plan on making it a career.

They treat people bad they use temp agencies and treat you like trash. If you’re a temp they won’t give you anything that their permanent employees receive so all the temps get to watch and feel like trash cause they get nothing yet do the same work. For example on thanksgiving they only give their permanent employees a turkey and all the temps are left out. You have to make a huge line to enter the building if you’re a temp when permanent employees get badges to enter on their own. They make you work and work and work and never pay you extra or give raises. They promote your title but not your pay, only title motivated individuals will accept that. 

My manager had no idea how to train me. My co-workers talked negatively about the job and their co-workers all day including myself. I was blamed for the errors of others. It took 6 months to receive benefits and over a year to receive any form of PTO. There was no option to work from home during the pandemic even though all work was web based. Employees belonging to the "family" that owned the company were treated better than all other employees. Pointless meetings and non-responsive management. Extremely high turnover with no one to train or point you in the right direction. Pay much lower than any other company. Just an overall bad place to work.

Though I dealt with rude customers on a daily basis they did not bother me. They were not the issue. Unfortunately it was the staff and management who were very inappropriate and rude to their employees. My supervisors thought it was appropriate to jokingly call a few of us inappropriate cuss word names. I've seen management scold indiciduals about certain things and also do the same thing themselves. Not a company I would ever go back to. After a year I was shown no respect nor appreciation. When I left the job due to hour shortage in December they still to this day now in February will not allow me to get my belonging back.
