Four Seasons Family of Companies

My job as a cafe assistant is relatively easy and most tasks that I do daily are repetitive tasks. It is mostly the same things that you do day-to-day. All days there are not stressful, but some can be given if someone is sick or is off on PTO. When this happens, that leaves the rest of us to pick up that person's tasks. It can get stressful when you are trying to complete your own tasks and also someone else's. I've grown a lot since I started in my position. I have grown to be very versatile in that I am able to move around positions there and know what I am doing. The management is overall ok, but could very well improve. One thing that is evident in the management is that one person can be late everyday and that is ok, but another person can be late and that is not ok. It is very hypocritical and is not fair. The workplace culture at Four Seasons is very hierarchal. Those who work in the cafe and market are seen as the bottom of the barrel and are not treated as fairly as others in the company. Specifically in the cafe, we are seen as the ones that have to clean up other people's messes and are supposed to deal with what is thrown at us. This is especially true when it comes to completing catering events. Catering events at Four Seasons can really affect the way our team works together and can definitely affect the stress that everyone feels. This job is a roller coaster that has its ups and downs like other jobs. The cafe needs help in the sense that the team can feel supported even when someone is not there due to sickness or being out on PTO.

1.  The Employees/Associates overall are committed and work well together.  These are the people who are responsible for the success of and anything good related to the company.
2.  Executives will talk about good leadership but do not come close to practicing it.  Many examples of favoritism toward some employees/associates and disrespect toward others.
3.  Company is very short-handed but Executives continue to push to get new business.  Many of the employees/associates work long hours, are fatigued and burned-out and more prone to make mistakes.
4.  When problems occur, the Executives will look first to blame the Warehouse, Pakcing and Transportation departments instead of looking at all of the areas and processes that could have caused the problem.
5.  Warehouse and Packing associates have no idea how long their workshift will actually be.  It is nothing for the Executives to add work anytime during the shift.
6.  Most of the drivers work long hours, do not get enough sleep for safe driving and then have to get up the next day and do it again.   
7.  Warehouse is very unsafe.  Many injuries occur.  The Selection Incentive Program focuses only on how fast an employee can select an order.  No regard for safety.
8.  The Injury rate is very high thoughout the company.
9.  The turnover rate is very high for the Warehouse, Maintenance and Sanitation, Transportation and IT.
10. Racism is evident in the Warehouse and Packing departments.  Other posts here are evidence of the racism.

I began working at FSP in Feb of 2017. The job was for an Application Coordinator, i.e. IT Support Technician. FSP is a family of companies that consists of Four Seasons Produce, Sunrise Transport, Sunrise Logistics, and Earth Source Trading. The IT dept is fairly large consisting of developers, application analysts, project managers/champions, systems, network/security admin, and helpdesk.  In my role, there were 2 of us who provided Tier 1 support. Our responsibility included handling inbound tickets by email, chat, phone, or walk-ups, workstation setups and desk moves, printer maintenance, and support, managing the warehouse rf guns and vocollect system, and cell phone support. We were responsible for weekly first contact on call. 

The CONS

The constant change in management.  
Lack of respect for IT support from some management
On-call schedule for Tier 1 
Starting pay
Lack of career path


The PROS

A lot of nice employees
Made lasting friendships
Commute
Hours can be flexible within reason





In the beginning, it was a fun place to work where you felt like everyone appreciated and respected one another. Honestly, it was the best job I've ever had at one point. After a leadership change at the top, it began to decline rapidly. Sadly, most of the leadership team is out for themselves. There is a huge lack of support from many in leadership, including the CEO. Many of the departments do not get along because they all have goals to meet, but can't figure out how to work together so it turns into a finger-pointing game. They hide behind their religious beliefs, but don't truly walk the talk. There are some great employees scattered throughout the organization and they were the only part of my day that kept me going. The work is not enjoyable when you just run in circles all day and can never accomplish anything of meaning. There are better places to work out there.

-Different positions available. Over time all year around.
- 40k-55k depending on If you can handle working more voluntary hours .
-Incentive program is obtainable.
-Overtime is pretty much guaranteed, and even mandatory. Bi-weekly pay. 
-Management is clueless because the turn over rate for management is too high. Don't let that discourage you. It's a great place to work. Do your job and you won't have any issues, and may even be able to move up or apply for a better position after six months. 
-Many perks including in house produce market and cafe for employees, free lunches every so often, and an amazing area to eat that includes a tv. Well kept locker room to store your belongings, and a nice bathroom that includes one closed in shower if you need it. Overall, I would recommend working here if you are looking for a job in the Ephrata, Pa area.

This is one of the few warehouse companies that give better pay and onsite employee benefits. The leadership is nice, good training, fair work, no mandatory overtime, cafe, nice employee store and cafeteria area and fairly laid back company with lots of chances to move up with in house training for all positions. The worst part of the job is some employees do not like to follow rules and will "push" you out of the way to get their work done but you will get that at every job like this. You do have to work in a refrigerated warehouse between 28 degrees and 56 degrees but its not to bad. They provide you with free gloves, head covering and more keep you warm. 

My typical day at work involves being with our customers at retail. There is no better place on this planet to work. Management, company leadership, and the sense of teamwork surrounding Four Seasons is unparalleled anywhere. The company gives you the tools to learn, grow and flourish, both professionally and personally. Four Seasons Produce TRULY is a family first company. We continue to grow,  and innovate, and help change the produce industry, while keeping and upholding our core values with every waking moment. This is such an amazing, fun place to work and the challenges of the produce industry each day presents are both the hardest and most rewarding part of it. I love the interaction with our customers and teammates alike. This is, again TRULY a company of teamwork. I have worked here over 20 years, have felt very privileged to do so, and look forward to 20 more years!!!

Home several times throughout the week. Don't expect to get rich, but that's the trade off for being home. Be ready to wear uncomfortable uniforms and deal with crabby dispatchers when you go pick up your paperwork. Management here was a joke. They would listen to your complaints but nothing ever changed. I got around 1900 miles a week here. They do pay for stops and a few other accessories. It's good pay for the ammount of work you do, but don't expect those otr checks here. This is a job you go to after being otr for a while. Their customers have challenging docks and tight parking lots. Be ready for backhauls at the jfk airport in nyc. Be ready to drive nights and drive in snowy conditions. You will not stay home because of snow.

The people that do the back breaking work get paid the least and are given the strictest attendance policy (1 minute late is half a point) and it doesn't apply to anyone but the packing dept. material handlers. there is a max of 10 points .The line leads will push you to work faster and faster but then tell you to slow down or you'll hurt yourself. And if you don't listen to either commands you get talked to. They only give you 3 sick days/year before you get points, with or without Doctors note. half the company has to call off on a snow day for you to not get a point, so you better drive the most modern, AWD vehicle. They have a  good in house market and cafeteria though. Also the Managers that work in the office are really nice and good at their jobs.

Sunrise Logistics ultimate goal is servicing Four Seasons Produce with the highest possible service level.  The nature of produce in the logistics industry can be very challenging.  Days are busy, filled with non stop phone calls and emails to carriers, customers and vendors.  I have learned so much working at Sunrise Logistics.  The in's and out's of the logistics industry and above all else, how to communicate effectively.  Need to have the ability identify problems before they occur and adapt quickly to ones that arise.
