What is the best part of working at the company?
Delivery manager and leads falsified a reason to terminate me.
The union that we pay dues to acted as a secondary HR to protect the intererest of the company and its management.
The union reps mearly made calls to the accusers instead of utilizing the actual facts. False promises of hiring within the company. The actual training doesn't compare to the safety training.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Impossible expectations and bad scheduling. False claims and periodic effort to sabotage my performance.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A majority of the workers are kind and hard working. Many are uplifting positive attitudes. 
Most are willing to say hi and wish you and I, a good day.
There are some that scrape through doing the bare minimum but it seems as though going under the radar there is safer than being noticeable. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Continuous motion and constant.
Unexpected obstacles and delays regularly

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part is the 10 hour shifts at 4 da5z week. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pulling 300 to 400 pound linen carts without proper training.  While you are trained on your route you do not have training on how to push or pull the carts aound tight corners or up/down ramps.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In my opinion upper management is attempting to improve relationships with staff the direct leadership does not make good decisions.  Keeping poor performance staff around too large or not following written policies is a problem.  It appears poor performers are kept on site just to meet targets staffing mandates to the customer. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get linen delivered in morning,  provided the correct order is delivered.  After that remove soiled linen. At times we are shorted. The  customer complained about incorrect linen which we correct or try to correct.

This company is constantly trying to upgrade equipment which is great, alot of employees call off too much. Creating delays for route times for departure,  periodic machine breakdowns, hospitals constantly change delivery procedures or SOP. Hospital docks are filled up and cluttered.  Drivers keep quiting causing mgmt to ask for more overtime runs. High employee turnover,  have to keep in shape to deliver without health problems. A decent job, but needs better communication from mgmt.

Worked by myself all the time! Turn over is very high under paid management sucks truck drivers are junkies lining always late never have what you need never no empty carts to do soil worst place in my opinion only reason I stayed was because I could do what I want as long as the job was done! Not one RASIE after 1 year 8 months most people don't even last a month they hire people who speak no English and expect you to be a team! Management ignores your needs tells you it's nothing they can do about the issues worst place ever! Most of Management is retiring so they really really don't give a s@#$..

What is the best part of working at the company?
Easy to get hired on. After that, production floor personnel has a high turnover rate. Supervisors are hard to keep and they have no training program. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Supervisors are not trained properly. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is hectic but manageable as long as your supervisor can be found.

Management has to be the most understanding I've of been apart of. The pay is at market value. A lot of physical work. Locations for delivery aren't the best to dock. Management at outfits can be hit and miss where most of your issues will come from. If your new you will get the most unfavorable routes. Don't expect weekends off.

Pushed linen carts throughout hospital replacing linens in each department. Carts weighed about 100 plus lbs each on wheels. Hardest part maneuvering carts in and out the small linen closets and dodging patients and people in the halls and elevators. Overall was a fairly easy job with good pay and benefits.

I enjoyed working here. Although it was repetitive work and you had to stand for long hours. The work is not hard. The pay is good and there is advancement within the company. The biggest downfall is they don't regulate the temperature in the production area. It is very hot and humid in the summer. It can be uncomfortable if you are not use to them conditions.

Load your trailer 39 carts weigh average 400 lbs each., drive to location, unload linen & load soiled linen ( full truck), drive back to unload & weigh every cart on scale before you leave for home. Set trailers for other drivers. All night shift driving. Always threatening to write up employees. Union bid on routes they don't honor. Always changing routes.  Frustration level very high. Your job requirements are always expanding. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Supervisors are always there to help when coworkers call in and are quik to solve issues.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I don't find my job stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work is in a hospital environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Each person is responsible for a route.  You work independently.
