Genesis Logistics Inc.

They give a good first impression, giving the appearance of a corporate professional environment, and making it seem like they want you for the long haul. But that's only true if you're going for leadership, and only if your performance is top notch and consistent. Once you've been there for a little while, you find that you'll be justifying your employment on a daily, if not hourly basis.

You're graded by the average number of units you pick per hour. The minimum units per hour that employees must pick is set by the customer, not the company, so complaining about it is pointless. Every product moves at a different rate depending on the size of the item and the quantity. There are only a few (very few) items that can actually be picked at or above the minimum standard, and everyone guns straight for them at the start of the shift. That's if the prior shift doesn't clean them out before you even arrive. Sometimes, even if you get the "fast" items, there are so many slow items bringing your average down that you can still fall short of the "minimum standard."

There is no consistency in your hours. You stay until the job is done. You could work a 12-hour shift, or a 4 hour shift. Neither you, nor your bosses, will know how much volume there will be on a given day. You don't find out until you get there in the morning whether it's going to be a long day. We had times when we would work 40 hour weeks. Next thing you know we're working 55-60 hour weeks. Then they "over-hired," which brought hours back down below 40. They started sending people home early,  and even waited until the morning of to tell some people that they didn't need them for that day and to come back tomorrow. They cracked down on performance and started to let a bunch of people go.  Some of the people they let go had been there for a few years. Then the hours went back up again. With all of that being said, management did handle concerns and situations with tact.

The hourly pay rate is above average for my area, but like I said, the hours aren't consistent. The vision and dental benefits are decent, but the health insurance isn't great. While they have 3 health insurance plans, you can only enroll in the HSA plan when you first start, which is the worst plan of the three. You can't enroll in one of the other two unless you've been there for over a year. The attendance points system is pretty generous. You'd have to be missing a lot of work consistently to get in trouble for attendance.

They allow you to borrow up to 40 hours of PTO (with management approval). If you quit or get fired before you accrue enough PTO to cover what you borrowed, they take it out of your last paycheck, which is standard and fine. But I had almost a week of PTO saved up, and they declined to pay it out when I left. So when an employee owes them PTO, they get their money. But when they owe an employee PTO, tough luck. USE YOUR PTO AT EVERY CHANCE YOU GET

It's typical warehouse culture here. At meetings, they push for everyone to follow the rules. But when following the rules slows production, they hint at you (and in some cases, tell you outright) to break the rules just to get through the day. They turn a blind eye to anyone that breaks the rules if that person is hitting their production goals, even if the rules they are breaking make other people's jobs harder.

This is definitely a pizza party workplace. 

The people are fine and I feel bad for the employees. Below is what they deal with.

Let me start by saying that working at Genesis Logistics has been an absolute nightmare, and I strongly advise against ever considering employment with this company. From my personal experience, it is abundantly clear that management here does not listen to or care about their employees, resulting in an oppressive and demoralizing work environment.

One of the most glaring issues at Genesis Logistics is the complete lack of consideration given to employee feedback. No matter how valid or valuable your suggestions may be, they fall on deaf ears. Management seems more interested in maintaining the status quo than in fostering a culture of growth and improvement. It's disheartening to invest your time and energy in providing input, only to be met with indifference and a disregard for your ideas.

Employee well-being is not a priority at Genesis Logistics. The management shows little empathy or concern for the physical and mental health of their staff. Burnout is rampant due to the heavy workload and unrealistic expectations placed on employees. There is an evident lack of support systems in place to ensure that employees can thrive in a healthy work environment. The message is clear: your well-being is not their concern.

Micromanagement is an unfortunate hallmark of working at Genesis Logistics. Employees are subjected to constant surveillance and scrutiny, which stifles creativity, autonomy, and professional growth. It is impossible to perform your duties effectively when you feel like you are constantly being watched and controlled. This micromanaging style breeds a sense of distrust and diminishes employee morale.

Lastly, Genesis Logistics has an astonishingly high turnover rate. The revolving door of employees speaks volumes about the toxic work environment and management's failure to retain valuable talent. People come and go at an alarming rate, unable to endure the oppressive atmosphere and lack of support. It's a clear sign that this company fails to foster loyalty or provide an environment where employees can thrive and grow.

In conclusion, I strongly advise against working at Genesis Logistics. The management's unwillingness to listen, lack of concern for employee well-being, micromanagement practices, and the revolving door of staff all contribute to an unhealthy and demoralizing workplace. Spare yourself the frustration and disappointment by seeking out an organization that values its employees and genuinely strives for their success.

There were good and bad days on the job, but majority of them sucked. The work is easy, you get lost in it a bit with a lot of walking, and lifting depending on what area you’re thrown in, but no special skills are required to get it, though the laziness of people around you might fool you. 

 If you just went in to get your job done and go home, you’d think you’d be okay. But there’s a lot of extra things that come with this job. Such as coworkers that you can’t trust but always end up with their nose in your business. Management that’s so rude, unorganized and unprofessional that someone from outside of the company should truly step in. (For a new building you’d think they’d have it together)

And to delve deeper into the management problems, things such as miscommunication are heavy here as there are 3 different people to answer to, that always have a different set of instructions for you to follow. 

The main reason I left this company is solely because they mess with your money. Now it’s even worse, you have a set clock in and clock out time. Anything you work outside of that is UNPAID overtime. Before they established that ludacris rule, they would just deduct money off your checks out of “habit” of changing the times you clocked in or out. They promised lots of overtime but you were lucky to get 30 hours without getting kicked out early and them letting the rest of the employees work understaffed.

At the end of the day, for the money it is what it is, but you can’t really say that if you’re not earning to your fullest potential. 


I’d recommend this being a last resort though.


I would not recommend this job to any driver. Turnover rate is extremely high they give the toughest routes to new drivers. Everyday its a race against the clock but nothing is in order or prepared to help you become successful. Every stop must be completed by 5 am. Its takes approx 1.5 hours to load your own truck if you dont run into any delays with warehouse team. Your first stop can be anywhere from 40 mins to 2 hours away. Each stop they want you to record too much information from mileage to time to what you dropped of and what you picked up. It takes basically minimum of 20mins (sometimes 35 mins) at each store and you’ll have at 17 stops per day. Not to mention there is no liftgate you have to pull out a ramp all day long. Store clerks at 7-11 are sometimes rude and disrespectful. You never have time to take a 30 min lunch. You get back to warehouse with no place to offload your truck and there are no yard jockeys so you have to remove somebody else’s truck then offload yours then put their’s back. I see no opportunity of growth or development there. In all this is a terrible workplace and they need to stop being cheap hire more drivers hourly and hire driver helpers and warehouse workers and run the business how it should be. Management makes up their own ideas instead of letting drivers decide what should be done time from time. 97 percent of the routes only make $190 per day and you can be out all night anywhere from 11 - 14 hrs per night. In conclusion if nothing else being available for you is the only reason to work for Genesis Logistics Bordentown.

A typical day at work:
A typical shift lasted anywhere from 13 to 16 hours, often through the night with little to no support. The workload was heavy, and expectations were unrealistic, especially considering how stretched we were.

What I learned:
The biggest lesson I learned was that management does not value your time or well-being. Your effort is expected without question or appreciation, and any concern you bring up is likely to be ignored.

Management:
Management is completely disconnected from the realities of the job. They lack empathy and organization. Drivers are treated as numbers, not people, and any feedback you give feels like it's falling on deaf ears.

Workplace culture:
There really is no workplace culture to speak of. It felt more like a modern-day version of indentured servitude—long hours, minimal breaks, and little regard for your life outside of work.

The hardest part of the job:
Definitely the long hours combined with the lack of support. Dispatch is unreliable, and you're often left to figure things out on your own during the most stressful parts of the shift.

The most enjoyable part of the job:
The best part of the job was when it was over and you could finally go home. That moment of peace and freedom at the end of a grueling shift was the only thing to look forward to.

Final thoughts:
If you're considering this job, just know you're sacrificing your time, health, and sanity for a company that likely won’t return the favor. Unless something drastically changes, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Working here was definitely short and not sweet. What they advertise in orientation is 100% not true…they say certain things to get people through the door and as soon a as you’re  hired you’re just another number. I was told during orientation that we could choose where we wanted to work regardless of manager say so and I was happy about that because I wasn’t interested in working in the cooler area that they have. After a few days there they tried to force me to go, and when I said no they attempted to force me by threatening my job and threatening to write me up. There was a complete disregard for me and the reasons I didn’t want to go. If I didn’t see other people doing whatever they wanted to do then maybe I wouldn’t have been so upset but do know that they play favorites in there. If you’re not cool with one of the managers expect them to be hard on you and pick you out to do the not so good things. Had management yell in my face telling me to go home and constantly threatening to change my time punches because I didn’t agree to what they were asking. One time they did edit a punch for me which resulted in me losing 2 hours worth of money that I couldn’t get back because management is the one that took it from me. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. It may seem all sunshine and rainbows because of the pay but trust me no one should be put through the mental and physical strain of working in that type of environment.

Start your day not knowing what route you are doing/ were you going or what truck you are driving. Then you get assign a route thats already late. So you have to load your truck as fasts as you can to try and make up time. Since route you got is already late by the time you get to first 7eleven store to deliver they are on a bad mood with you since you are late, so they on purpose take 30min to scan and review your delivery, and you only have a maximum of 15min in each store, so then you start falling behind on ur appointment time @ each store, so all night goes like that w managers and clerks mad and taking their sweet time to take care of u. Typical route is 14 to 16 stores @ night. They pay you $12.75hr BUT pay u route pay, so if they say a route takes 9hrs to do and it takes you 11hrs to do you will ONLY get paid 9hrs! No overtime. They pay u 1hr to load truck BUT it takes MORE than 1hr to load, then @ the end of the night you have to unload truck for FREE! Thats a minimum of 30min. Trucks breakdown constantly. New truck are ramp trucks so everything is unloaded down a ramp. No more lift gate so now it takes longer to unload @ each store for same pay. Management is a joke, supervisors dont even know what days am working or off or were are their trucks @. Each week they hire minimum 10 people and by the end of da week only 2 drivers will still be there, high turnover rate.

As a driver they’ll push you to the limit and then push some more. The warehouse is a disaster (and nobody in management will do anything effective to fix it) so you have to do their job on the dock while you’re loading the truck which makes for long nights. The trucks are poorly maintained, most of the other drivers will do their jobs halfway which makes more work and longer nights for the good drivers who care about their jobs and management won’t do anything effective to solve that either. Nobody is held accountable for the mess this place is and it’s fostered an environment where trash drivers aren’t punished for not doing their jobs and the good drivers aren’t rewarded for doing their jobs plus all the extra work thanks to other drivers and the chaotic, mismanaged warehouse. They’re just expected to pick up the slack and be happy about it, or something like that. It’s a shame. It could be a decent job if the management could get it together and fix the obvious, simple issues that create the ridiculously high turnover rate. But operations is too busy worrying about speed and numbers rather than getting their people to do things right first and then it all falls on the drivers to fix their screw ups on the dock and that’s no small task thanks to all the things they can’t get right on a daily basis because nobody trains them right or audits anything properly. 

During my time at the company, turnover within both staff And supervisor ranks was astonishing.  Frequently out of state "Site Support" was flown in to run things, who clashed with local managers.  Very fast paced, very physical labor, in challenging chilled and freezer environments.  Many technology issues.  Supposedly opportunities for upward mobility if you can maintain perfect attendance and demonstrate leadership and disciplinarian skills.  If you are good at being on time, good at telling other people what to do, and are relatable adept with technology and technology problems solving -- AND don't mind being on your feet in a Refrigerator or Freezer for 10-12 hours at a time with frequent last minute overtime expected, this could be The Job for you, with growth potential.   Forklift and other heavy machinery experience a Big Plus.

**Some Favoritism noted in promotional choices; I.e. friends of management over displayed competency.  May have gotten better since I've been there.  Hierarchial, not independent personalities preferred.  Many people who emotionally or egoistically clashed with established local management in even subtle ways were outright fired or left of their own accord.

A lot of burnout, many changes - including schedule changes and supervisory changes - forced upon workers with little notice.

Chaos, but decent pay.

This was literally the WORST operations team I have ever been a part of. Anytime a company is having a job fair for management, thats a red flag. Also the pay is great but this company should ask why does it have such a high turnover in just management alone. The culture is so far gone and there is a huge gap between management and associates. The schematics of day to day operations makes no logical sense and as a leader you will feel powerless in accomplishing these tasks. Upper management will show no interest in your progression/advancement as there is barely any real communication with them. Meetings are pointless they have them every 2hrs and its the most minimal pointless thing ever. Also dont try and get a lunch break because you wont have any time to sit and eat because someone will always interrupt your peace for the most trivial things. Overall this operation is horrible, DHL needs to take the reigns and steer this in a different direction because Genesis is by far the worst operation I have encountered.
