They have 12 hr of a stressful shift. Training is a joke. They increase more work while being short staffed and  hardly hire unless it gets bad which is happening alot lately. Recently started tricking new people into training for 8hr then putting them on the actual 12hr shift and people just leave. Management is a joke, were told by HR that really heavy box stacking hurt someones back  and he was like no one can get hurt like that. Duhh yes they can doing it nonstop for 12 hr straight dude.  They dont care about u, your easily replaceable. They have demoted people because they gave them positions and then never actually let them do their job because of the short staffing. There is 1 Supervisor who cant tell right from left but is on you a** for petty stuff, like why did you come back 1 minute late from break., We'll maybe because the break room is on the other side of the building duhh while other people take 30 to 40 min breaks and he doesn't bat an eye. Favoritism here is crazy. Prepare to get used and abused

Cool people to work with, most “From the start” management has left and been replaced, as well as employees. It’s not like it use to be. Cut throat at times and lots of temps, tells me something else is about to happen. Management can’t start a machine, but will intrude on your break. What ever happened to an uninterrupted break? State law? Do more and never get credit, but get fired and collect. I would just say there are some “users” that take credit for your work. At least I got a free passport for training in Europe. Had an awesome time and learned the machine. Then back to USA, I got my most of experience on my own. I’m a “go getter.” I’ll run every machine in different technologies as well. Like a man on a flying trapeze. Sometimes In life, the more you know, the faster you collect, as well as get yourself better than the rest and run your own business. Treat people as people not a number, old school. Great lesson in life for me. I’m happy now, confidence is key, not cockiness.😊

Easy physical work, pretty good pay. Training is at a minimum, learn as you go. Management poor, when help is needed there is none, I worked five to six months by my self, when there should have been theee guys in logics, and was told do the best you can. They say safety is main concern, but their actions say otherwise. Didn't get me help until I threatened to quit. Management says they care about their employees but when my girlfriend's cancer came back and was late or because of appointments with her they didn't seem to care. But when I was the only person on night shift for logistics I could be late whenever I wanted and nothing was ever said

What is the best part of working at the company?
Enjoyed the schedule while working day shift. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper management has always struggled to build a strong team atmosphere. 
Has potential to be a great place.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in do my time card I drop off my lunch then get changed and a meeting every morning to let u know where to go and be safe and clean.then I go about my day working in k3

the work is okay once you learn it . training is really bad though . but the environment isnt the best . workers are constantly getting blamed for things above there heads and it always feels like someone is out to get you . which stresses you out . management seemed very disconnected and all they ever seemed to do was go for smoke breaks . HR seemed to try to avoid everyone and dont want to hear anything you have to say . and dont bother applying for an inside job you probably wont even get an interview . not the worst place Ive ever worked but there are less frustrating jobs around that pay the same or better . also 12hr shifts so that might or might not be your thing .

If there was ever any doubt as to how pathetic this place really is it was removed when employees were officially told on a one-by-one basis that negativity and "gossip" were not allowed. Yes, low morale within the company has now reached the point where management's best attempt to boost morale is to disallow low morale. I'll spare the person(s) reading this the boring details of the favoritism, politics and horrendously bad decision making made by the comedically incompetent management and will instead offer a single word of advice:

Run.

The workload is not evenly distributed among team members/shifts. Supervisors/coordinators (secretaries) are generally disconnected from the day to day operations the team performs. They do not take responsibility for the actions and/or inactions of their team. When a mistake is made they will blame another team member regardless if this person is above anyone else in any way (communism). A hierarchy restructuring of the logistics department would greatly benefit the team as a whole. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poorly running company with morons running it. Everyone sleeping with everyone.

Poorly trained supervisors/managers
