Freckled Poppy

God this job. Where do I begin? Management is awful. Nobody there is qualified to run a company and it’s just a big girl - drama infested company run by prissy women who think they are hot s**t. You will be scolded for doing your job, management will go around telling other employees your business. Other people will know an employee is fired before the actual person does. You cannot leave your shift for anything ( appointment , sick...etc) without getting “a point “ ( 6 and your “reasonably fired). There are no benefits with this job. You’re lucky is the owners remember to pay you on time. There is ZERO regard for the safety of employees and if someone gets hurt management will AND I WUOTE tell you to “suck it up and get back to work”. You will hate this job more than anything and it is not worth your mental health trying to work here for so little. Their “policies” change by the week ( no written handbook of course) so good luck trying to keep up. Oh and there’s a dress code for WORKING IN A HOT WAREHOUSE. I understand closed toed shoes but everything else is ridiculous. They didn’t even require masks until august and even then it was very lenient. Countless times have the fire marshal and health department been investigating this company for very bad bad practices and lack of caring for the employees. 

There are a lot of negative reviews of FP to tell you what the working conditions are at the warehouse, especially for an entry position. 

But the truth is that all of that chaos and poor workplace culture is created by the owners. They constantly change systems and create chaos in the warehouse even though they're off on their 50th vacation of the year. Management has some power to improve things (and there have been a LOT of improvements in the past few years) but ultimately they're powerless to change the bad habits of the owners. 

From huge deliveries that the receiving team cannot fit into the warehouse (and therefore cannot organize in a manner thats conducive to finding and pulling orders) to erratic sales by the owners that creates a bottleneck for the shipping team and brings their shipping speed to a screeching halt. There's no strategy and no time spent to manage systems to keep all of the departments working efficiently. Every single day has a new emergency and it gets exhausting to manage which creates a poor working environment for everyone.

There have been a lot of passionate and caring people who have worked at FP but slowly but surely they're all leaving. Ultimately I can't see the situation ever improving unless the owners themselves change.

The pay is above minimum wage but with all of the attitude, drama, and disrespect make it mot worth it. There is obvious favoritism and managers talk bad about employees in front of you. You can get fired for no reason at all, even if you leave on good terms and you ask to come back they say they tell you no. Managers are fake and childish. During the pandemic there have been over 10 known cases of Covid discovered. Theu do not sanitize the warehouse properly and do not care about employee safety. When an employee catches Covid19 they blame the employee for not wiping down their station properly. When some has tested positive, they don't mention who it is so that the rest of the staff can take their own proper precautions. Managers are willingly ignorant and blatantly disrespectful. Certain employees are allowed to be that way also due to the favoritism.

Freckled Poppy has really made me feel at home. Coming from a job where I would dread working every day to being able to wake up and feel great about heading to work each day has really changed my life. The people are very nice and fun to work with and im glad I decided to give it a shot because Freckled Poppy is a job I can see myself working at for a long time. The management have always been fantastic and always try to make it a fun and professional place to work. The pay is very nice for the position and I am glad I joined the FP family.

Management sucks. Will fire anyone for any reason. Very unprofessional work environment, managers will talk about other employees in front of you and be very disrespectful towards those they do not like. There are no benefits from this job. There’s is PTO if you’re a full time employee but good luck actually getting it and you have to figure out the hours yourself. Pay is a bit above minimum wage but not worth the stress they put you through. There’s really no room for advancement within the company and you can be fired at any moment; there is no job security. 

Owners and management are unorganized and rude. They talk about their employees and enforce different rules for the warehouse every week. The new management decided on a grading system to decide if you get a $.25-$.50 raise every year, and then are pretty open about giving it to family and friends instead of people who work hard every day. 2 of the supervisors will sit on the floor all day on their phones, and one of them will literally scream at employees for taking a break for water. The warehouse is always too hot, there are safety hazards all over the floor, and to show “appreciation” you get pizza once in a while. 

The owners were never around, even after being told in the interview that they were frequent fliers at the warehouse. The managers in the warehouse have favorites, and most of them are unapproachable. People will get blamed for things that are out of their control, and if you aren’t close with one of the managers, your work will always go unnoticed, no matter how good of an employee you are. They tried to reward you for good behavior with a slap on the back instead of any sort of raise or promotion. There is no way to move up in this company. It is truly not worth the time and effort to try with this company. 

Use to be my favorite place to be until I was blindsided and fired for clocking in one too many times one minute late. Despite working lots of overtime and still hitting my number daily on top of other tasks I took on. They don’t appreciate hard working people and do not make exceptions for anyone. Since leaving I hear working there has only gotten worse with people being disciplined unfairly. 

A typical day at work at freckled poppy is chaotic. I’ve learned that people gossip and start non-work-related unnecessary drama. The culture is if you are not a friend, family member, or high school acquaintance. You won’t make it. The most enjoyable part about the job is the hours are flexible.

Management seems to be allowed to do whatever they want. If you like to sit on the floor crisscross applesauce for meetings, this is the place for you. If you want to feel like you're in high school again with all the drama, this is the place for you. Good news: you can freely voice your concerns about issues. Bad news: a pizza party will be the solution.
