While Interviewing With This Company I Was Told Of All The Things That Was Getting Ready To Happen Days Off Benefits Paid Holidays Like Anyone I Bought Into What I Was Told . 


1)You Start Early Around 3am But Your Load Is Never Ready , You Can Leave Anytime Between 4:30 and 6:00am Depending On When The Truck Gets In Which Is Never On Time .  

2) You Have To Be There 90 Days Before You Get Paid For A Holiday. So You Can Work 14 Hours On A Holiday And Not Get Paid For It . The Bad Part About This Is You Don't Find Out Until You See Your Check And Realize You Didn't Get Holiday Pay .

3) Quality Of Products Is Awful!! The Most Embarrassing Thing Is Have Bad Product For A Customer And Explain Why There Is Mold And All Kind Of Issues With It. 


4) If You Are Fast At Your Route There Is No Reward If You're The First One Back You Are Sent Back Out To Run What They Call Shorts , And That Can Be Another Hour Or Two Depending On How Far The Stop Is . 


5) No One Listens To Your Suggestion On Making Your Route Run Efficiently. 

6) If There Is Enough Ppl Only The Manager Friends Will Get Days Off And Be The Person With The Smallest Routes And They're Able To Run Shorts For Half The Day . 

7) Don't Ask For A Day Off You Have To Be Close Too Dying Before Its Consider And You're Still Not Gonna Get It.

8) Inside Of The Cabs Would Make An Episode Of Hoarders. It's That Nasty And This Is Dealing With Food .

9) Seeing How This Place Handles The Food That You And I Eat Going Out To Eat Will Never Be The Same Again . 

 
Mismanagement 
Lack Of Leadership 
No Employee Handbook 
No Communication 



   HONSET TRUTH

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management is no there is none everybody wants to be the boss nobody wants to work there always take advantage of the new people by getting them to do all their work front office never there always busy and nobody's there they open at eight and nobody is never in the office and if you call yourself going to work there be ready to do it yourself because nobody likes to work at get fresh


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That you can't get any information at a nobody especially when it comes to getting a raise

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The fact that they will hire somebody that don't even know the job or don't even care about the job they lose more people that care about the job then people that really work there they give out employee of the month to people that don't never come to work on time and they stole the people that come to work on time

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Was there for a year and 5 months dedicated to this place would not give me a raise because they said I will be taking food out of other people's mouth I would always come in early never late but they will congratulate people that come in late

If your desperate for money because your starving and homeless than this will get you by for a while until your worked to the breaking point and begin to reconsider that maybe starving and homeless wasn't so bad after all! The pay has gone up from what it used to be and is decent but your going to earn every cent of it and management will be sure to work you as much as humanly possible to make sure they make back 100X what they are paying you anyways. Good luck if you consider working here most don't even make it a year before they break down or get physically hurt which happens to everyone I ever worked with here including myself. A good example of your work day would be to find a big house and remove everything inside yourself outside up a ramp and then take it back down a ramp back into the house upstairs by yourself again 10X and you've completed one day at work then get to do that all over again for the rest of the week. Consider how much your physical health and body parts mean to you before even thinking of working for this place. They should Highly recommend making this a 2 man per route working environment and then maybe they would be able to keep delivery drivers without having to be a company that is Always hiring and always will be with the "Work them like Dogs" mentality. 

I was hired for only 3 in an half weeks. Came to work every day on time did my job and left .There hole staff where idiots . I had learned their RF scanning system the first day and the way the whole company ran . So pretty much had got fired on some fake miss picks . That the main boss had printed out for us to see after every day . Still have not received my last check from them . Bosses did not know much you would ask them a question but only taking them a few hours to fix any problems to be corrected . So if you don't act stupid they would get rid of you fast .Company over all is very dirty saw a lot of people not wearing any gloves while handling the Produce . Not only did they not where gloves a lot of them would not wash their hands after eating or using the bathroom . Also if anyone would drop cases they would not wash the produce they would just through it back in the box and send it .People  or company's should not buy from here . The best part of this job was being fired .Do not work here or buy anything from this place.

I was hired on and thought things were going well.

Training was fairly comprehensive and hands-on

The trainers and fellow employees were nice with a very informative attitude. Everyone talked as though I was going to be there for years and years to come and gave me advice on how to best plan working for the company and interacting with customers.

On my 9th day of employment, at the end of my shift, I was told to see management. They then terminated me with no reason beyond "We don't think you are a good fit" The decision was final and there was no opportunity to explain my side. They then still acted friendly and felt sorry for me, even though they were 100% responsible for what happened. 

They wished me the best of luck. 

What a joke.

The bottom line is that they don't value people as much as they claim.

They will send you out with a payload of 23k 900boxes and have you drive 3hrs away to deliver to multiple stops to only have you drive back fatigued. You will deliver to portillos that require you to deliver the produce downstairs with a 2 wheeler, a lot of the product is heavy. They will load your trailer to the point where the cargo is touching the door. Your body will start to break down from all the heavy lifting. You’ll be finished with your shift late in the morning to only go home and sleep your whole day off. They only care about their produce being delivered and not the wellbeing of their workers. Constant issues with equipment breaking down and the list goes on....

I worked for this company for about a year until I got fired, all this company care about is money and they don't care about employee or family by having all this people working long hours and  talking about a culture, do they even know what culture  is? People Please ,  get rid of this word, do what you really say who you are and then u can say you have some kind of culture, be open to suggestions from people that really care and currently working for you, firing them would not solve anything, fix it! maybe the problem reside within the company itself and  hopefully your turnover rate  will minimize, learn how to retain employees by showing leadership!!!!

Company gets a 1 star. Not a good company to work for. They are a family owned business and have family members in various positions. Nepotism at its worst. Plus they work management to death six days a week. Equipment was atrociously in bad shape which can potentially cause employee injuries and accidents. Company did not have the desire to update equipment to be safe and efficient. Company did not want to join the Big Leagues like Sysco and US Foods to invest employees safety. Management’s attire are ultra relaxed. One of the managers dressed like he was a maintenance guy. 

Retired now but I've worked at multiple fast paced, high volume  distribution centers and this is the most toxic workplace I was ever a part of.  Not much structure and almost no training.  I worked overnight and was instructed to depend on other supervisors to give me training.  Nope.  They were all hard workers but it was a constant b***h fest about everything.  "Not my job" was a common gripe. 

Fleet was subpar at best.  Duct tape and bailing wire.

Drivers were very hard working but the better ones were expected to work too many hours (60+) and it showed in the number of injuries and turnover.


Show up to work at 3:30am, only to stand around, waiting for your truck to get loaded.  Management is awful..the worst I've ever dealt with.  They come in high on drugs, makes mistakes, and wonders why there are mistakes.  They do not listen to any sort of suggestions.  Vehicles are unsafe and management will try to put you in unsafe equipment to drive.  Some days aren't bad, but other days you work very long hours...some people work 15+hrs. The product they send out to their customers is ridiculous...moldy, terrible quality.  This company does not care about their employees or customers.
