What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing really. No job security, management will ask you to do other people’s job then complain to you about not completing your own task.
This was without a doubt the worst company I’ve ever worked for, crooked thieves that run this company running a racket.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You have a whole group of 
“Sales Supervisors” that do nothing all day except micro manage your every move, if you stop to urinate during the day you better make note of it because they wanna know how long it took to empty your bladder. They will call you every morning at 7am to be sure you are on the road but if you need them for something like pricing it will take you 5 days to get info you actually need.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible. It sounds good when they talk about it and make promises that never happen but you will soon find out they just hold stuff over your head out of grasp trying to suck you dry of effort.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You will be asked to do pointless zoom calls early as 5am sometimes because they want you on the road working no later than 7am even though lots of business isn’t open till later so you can’t even get in to see some potential customers, they want you working until 5pm sometimes later, when you are home at night they will complain and threaten you if you don’t reply immediately to an email that is sent during off work hours, normal day is usually 12 hours or more by the time you complete all of the micro management reporting that’s required.

Northeast Lubricants & Great lakes petroleum is 2 companies under one name. NFL drivers does more work for WAY less $$ which they already know,but wants to nickle & dime you and beg for raises. If you get hired on at NEL and a new job comes up for GLP for a possible  advancement within the company they denies you. Saying they dont want you switching between companies,but the company is Great Lakes Petrolem as a whole. NEL has a high turnover rate,when they find out that they are delivering,drums,totes,packages,atf,antifreeze,hydraulics and oils for less $$ than the GLP guys who pulls a hoes and make 10k a year more than you..They lie to you and say you have room  for advancement to get you hired but they keep the company divided.They have company bbq in atlanta and dont even mention it to the NEL guys,Youll come off your route and see them having a lunch that you wasnt even  told about or even invited too..You never hear from management until you do something wrong.. put it this way NEL &GLP is a company as a whole on paperwork far as your check stub,insurance and DOT regulations but far as salary,drivers and work loads are divided...

truck driving comes with its own drawbacks in that there's a culture of fellow drivers trying to boss you around and also back biting and sabotaging each other in order to make themselves look good. Usually there's a misunderstanding between drivers and the people working in the office mostly because the majority in the office have never been on the road and I don't think they fully understand what it takes to be driving a truck

Then unrealistic demands were made until the company eventually seized operation in the State of Florida
