I was on the job for less than 2 weeks when I had bosses who expected impossible things.  If a line needs to be set up, and it is going to take time to do so, why are you yelling at me that I need to have it going in 30 seconds already?  You could help us set up the line, instead of complaining we aren't doing anything.  Have you set up a line? I had a boss who would tell me to do something and then come back and say no, lets not do that.  Make up your mind.  The supervisors do not help the line leads, they just complain, expect alot of work to be instantly done, and then they do nothing.  If we have to run to do something, and the employees leave their stations or don't do their work, its then our fault.  How about the supervisor watches over the employees while we run to get the items?  How about they run to get the items and then our employees are watched constantly?
HR is a cluster..
When you hire someone, and forget to tell them when they start or what time, and then don't respond to the new employee, that is stressful.  If they give you a W2 form with their allowances, read it, instead of saying they claim single, when they really claimed married 2.  
Employees escape to the bathrooms for 20 minutes or more because they don't like the stress of the job.  Problem is, people who really need to use the bathrooms can't, because you have someone using it as a office chair and sit on their phones.  This needs to be regulated, and its not.  Its not a chair, its a toilet.
The process is terrible on the lines, and the turnover rate proves it.  Its not just that its cold in there, its a depressing and stressful environment.  Employees want to be able to go home before bedtime.  I started work at 6:30 am and they wouldn't let me go home until 9 pm.  Sure you get overtime, but they should ask for volunteers.  You are working people way too much, and they are forced to stay. You are told if you don't stay you can be fired.  What kind of job is that?!? These are people.  They deserve to be at home too.  I was eating dinner 20 minutes before going to bed and then getting up at 4 to do it again.
It isn't worth it.
There is a lot of improvement they need to do and they just think its an employee problem.  Look up, it is a supervisor problem.  There is no help, and your employees are only as good as the support they receive from management.  The women supervisors are the worst.

Job was very easy & repetitive. Toughest part was standing In one spot all day aside from breaks(20minutes for the whole day use them when you please) and lunch(45minutes) If you’re okay with standing in one spot all day 10-11 hours in a what basically feels like a walk in cooler warehouse then you’ll like it. My feet freeze with the steel toe boots you have to wear, even after 3 pairs of socks one being thermals at some point you start too feel your toes are numb. Your hands freeze too even after you put on gloves. Yes you can walk away and go for a quick 1 minute walk but still being in the cold helps nothing. Yes the job is easy I can’t stress this enough, the hard part Is being in a cold warehouse for 10-11 hours standing the whole time in one spot. Kills your back and feet. You’ll have to wear a beanie that’s how cold it gets. Company provides steel toe black rubber boots that go up to your calf’s, they’re water proof but have barely any padding and are not warm at all. They don’t charge for them and if they get worn out they keep replacing them free as long as youre working for the company but if you quit or get fired make sure to return them or they will charge you from your last paycheck.

I worked overnight sanitation and really enjoyed most of the people I work with, but there was a line between those of us who were born state side verses those who were not. All the leads for the most part were born in a Hispanic country and advancement was based purely on a "good ol' boy" system. There was little to no accountability for employees showing up for work or even completing work while there (when someone had not finished there job assignment others would be sent to help no matter the reason). We would get on forewarning on any overtime often being told hours before clocking out that we needed to stay late. Half of our equipment never worked and it took 6 months to get filter masks that were required for health reasons.

Was able to train in Wash tech duties and I had no set work area

Making rounds from one end of the warehouse to the other helping my team and at the same time doing my assignment as well as on call to wash machines

If you don't have a laundry list of felonies on your record there is no reason to work. Everyone is underpaid and hates showing up to work. The training was useless and did not prepare you for the job. Management might be the most incompetent i have ever seen in my life. Day two on the job i was having to correct actions taken by my leads that had been there for 5 or more years. They offer no breaks and there are people that get paid to do nothing i.e the purple and blue hats that just stand around doing nothing. Avoid at all costs. There are so many better places to earn an actual livable wage.

It's an okay place to work if you like working in the cold you need to make sure you bundle up production area is very fast paced. The company is a hole is pretty in the organized there's a language barrier most of the employees there from Africa or the Middle East management for the most part do a good job they have tried to work with me on my shift in hours so no complaints in that department. But I cannot stress enough that if you choose to work for this company you need to dress very long we're going to be working anywhere from 8:00 to 12 hours been very cold temperatures.

I worked for FFT for almost 1 1/2 years, in that time never offered any benefits until a month before i left and those benefits didn't include medical and you had to pay for all of them. The hours were always changing, The pay was extremely low, management was changing all the time, if you like working for a place that cares more about getting their orders compete then their employees and their safety then this is the right job for you! I am sorry I ever worked for them, last month working for them i was averaging 35 hours a week, now I am doing almost 60 hours a week. Hope This Helps

Too many supervisors and a few will curse at employees or rudely raise their voice when they don’t know what is going on.
 Upper management sides with supervisors and don’t care too much about taking disciplinary action against them or hearing employees complaints against them.
On the other hand there are some supervisors that show respect and those people make working there okay. Unfortunately a few bad apples spoil the whole thing.
Anyone supervisor’s actions or behavior represents the entire company that’s why not too many employees last more than 6 months.

Great place to meet people from around the world. Pay is sketchy. I started on a 3 day weekend shift making $12.50. After my first evaluation received .50 cent raise that put me at $13. The company dropped the weekend shift. Lowered my pay to $12. 
 I like the coworkers most are friendly. 
The equipment breaks down often. Alway short handed on employees. That takes the enjoyment out of working there. 
Overall if your in between jobs good place to fill that gap till a new opportunity opens up.
