I have read a lot of bad reviews about this company; and because no company in the world is without fault, a few of the complaints I can agree with; but with that being said, this company has
problems/issues no different than any other company out there; and to slam this company in the way that many have; to me is nothing short of unconscionable.

People tend to forget that there is much competition out there and that companies are forever at battle to keep the competition at bay. Kane is not the only company that does what it does; so at the end of the day you have to remember one simple and what should be obvious fact; It is all about the customer; because without them, your complaints turn very quickly from the superficial to painful reality. 

Yes! A typical day could be rough, but business was high and demanding. ... Job security!!! Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?

Yes! Management did not always treat people the same way. But I noticed that if you came to work on time, gave a fair and decent showing of yourself, and stepped up to the plate to help out when the workflow demanded it? .... The old saying: Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours tends to come to mind. If Management in your opinion was not treating you the way you wanted to be treated, my first suggestion to you would be to first; take a close look at the man/woman in the mirror? My second suggestion? ... Take an even closer look at the man/woman in the mirror.

Some co-workers were not so fun to be around, and the Management staff was not so quick to weed out the bad. A lot of people were given  chance after chance to better themselves not only professionally but personally. So let me get this straight; Management gave a lot of undeserving employees chances after chances after chances; .... ..... AND THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS FOR THAT???  Since when did having a big heart and not throwing one out into the street when they deserved it a bad thing?

The hardest part of the job was being out on the battlefield/warehouse floor with a solider/employee that was not willing to do their part to win the war.

The most enjoyable part about the job was; you could basically tailor your paycheck to meet your financial demands due to the consistency of available overtime.

I was told it takes about three months to fully learn this role, but the training didn’t match that timeline. My first week, I couldn’t be trained because the trainer had other priorities. In week two, I was shown everything at once and expected to catch on quickly, focusing on accuracy over speed.
By week three, I was working independently while my trainer helped someone else. I had to remember all previous steps while learning additional systems like Nova, GDM, Retail Link, and  coordinating with your Hi-Lo drivers who often were pulled to help other drivers, leaving me waiting to get pallets or unstack items. I also had to verify trailers with multiple breakdowns, organize pallets, and determine loose vs. full freight all with minimal guidance.
Just as I was starting to gain a real understanding of the process in week four, I was let go. The role has a steep learning curve and would benefit from structured, consistent training and better staffing to set employees up for success.

If you get hired to do plcb liquor runs expect to work the longest hardest days making the least amount of money. I averaged out what I made per hour and it was less than $20/hr for unloading 40000lbs of liquor by hand. Other drivers get 2-3 stop loads and some of them are pull offs where you don't have to hand unload. I have been here 5 months and have only gotten these stops 4 times. Usually I get 4 or 5 stop loads with 1200 or less cases and the guys getting 2-3 stops are getting 1300 or more. And when you get paid by the case it really hurts your bottom line. It would be better if they spread the nicer runs out a little but they don't because the old drivers here would cry and throw a fit. And this is why it is hard for them to keep newer, younger plcb drivers; especially when there are many other jobs out there. You work 10 to 13hrs a day, make less money, and get home later. If you want to stick it out here for 10 years and wait for other drivers to retire you might get better loads. It is also slip seating for new guys and the trucks new guys can use are trash. The warehouse couldn't load a truck or build a pallet with their lives on the line and managers have now accountability.
Also the trucks are slip seated except for older drivers so you have to try and find a useable truck. If you are in past 4am you'll have to wait for a mechanic to fix one

An agency sent me to their dreadful "newer' Bolingbrook  location. Once i got there i got a line leader (i use that term loosely) that admitted she hadnt done a warehouse job long at all and us temps soon learned we had more experience than her. For example: we all returned from our break on time, we walked to the opposite side of the building since that's where they had us, only to be told by her we're not ready yet we're still setting up go take another 15 minutes. We all took another 15 minutes we came back on time when it was time for lunch she informed us that she would only give us a 15 minute lunch since technically we had a 30 minute break already. We informed her that we didn't know it was going to be our lunch since nobody takes lunch at 2 hrs into their shift. and they don't have refrigerators in the building for anybody to bring any food so you have to take the long walk to your car anyway. By then your break time is up. she said if we made quota by 1 p.m. then she would give us a 30 minute lunch. If not we'd only get a 15 minute lunch! we informed her that wasn't legal. and it wasn't our fault she wasnt set up when we got back.and she had a BIG problem with that. so she decided to give us our 30 minute lunch. they don't run things right there and why does somebody like her get the job? I was so glad it was a one day project. Dont waste your time there.

I worked at ID Logistics as a weekend supervisor and unfortunately, my experience was quite negative. The company has an incredibly high turnover rate, which speaks volumes about the work environment. HR is highly unprofessional—they consistently broke confidentiality with leadership and associates, which created a culture of mistrust.

After returning from maternity leave, I was laid off, despite the fact that they kept the replacement hired during my absence. It felt unfair and unjust. The company also changed systems from WMS to LMxT, which significantly reduced efficiency and drove down production. The system is inconsistent, inefficient, and makes it harder to meet targets.

Despite making numerous complaints to HR about various issues, including professionalism and transparency, there was never any follow-up or action taken. On top of that, schedule changes were made with little to no notice—often same-day or with only a two-day warning, making it impossible to maintain a work-life balance.

Lastly, leadership lacks respect for personal time off, which further erodes the sense of trust and well-being. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend ID Logistics for anyone looking for stability, a healthy work environment, or a company that values its employees.

They do pay well.  That ends the good portion of this review.  The company grew too fast and did not have the infrastructure to support the growth.  They hired their friends that were not qualified for the positions and promised unlimited advancement opportunities.  Many of the senior leadership were title grabbers worried only about their next promotion and the paycheck that comes with it.  Many have never worked at the floor level and those who did, did it so long ago, they don't remember it.  The pressure to increase profits overrides common sense when it comes to implementing ideas to improve processes and efficiencies.  They have started down a path of promoting "yes" men/women and view every idea that is challenged as a personal attack on themselves.  The level of insecurity of some of the leaders is obvious by the egos they manage with.  Understanding that their is always improvements to be made is just as important as how you present them to your team.  They tear you down daily and make vailed threats to your employment, but forget to to build you back up.  There's no room for coaching here, just straight to disciplinary action.

This company is a good place to work for, only one shift, 8 hours daily, mon.- Fri., Offers some sick leave 90 days employment, 6 paid holidays, usually a stress free environment, except for the last two or three days of every month when the amount of out going orders can triple normal work days, example, one month last day of, I worked twenty-one hours straight, this was the extreme, usually only four or five hours were required last two days of any given month to meet goal. The work was steady and not demanding. I unloaded and or unloaded full pallets on a daily basis, used reach truck to put away full or partial pallets of product assigned locations using rf scanners, did same job in reverse to pull full pallets from racks to place in out going staging area, also picked cases of multiple products,palletized, wrapped and place in staging area,, the only part of this company I didn't care for was, there were no raises based on merit system, perfect attendance, 99.875 percent error free, good relationship with all fellow employees, I miss my friends I worked with.

Promotion to line lead is easy if you're a hard worker on 3rd shift and you come to work every day. Advancement beyond that isn't as easy. You have to know the right people and those people work on other shifts. The line work is pretty easy after you get a rhythm and a system going. Some of the bags can get heavy after lifting them all day, and it is super repetitive movement so that can cause soreness at first too. Line leads do tend to just put you somewhere and expect you to figure it out after very little training, since the work is pretty easy. Good workers are often taken advantage of, as the not so good workers and very rarely let go for being slow or lazy, so the better workers are always expected to take the hardest jobs, but that is how you stand out if you want the line lead position anyways. Pay is good. And when hired on to the company the benefits are fair. Line workers working through employment agencies will be out of work quite often, sometimes working full weeks sometimes having only three or four day weeks, due to running out of packaging or donors (candy) to fill orders. 

Kane is able is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. They tell you it's a first shift job working 8-430 for 15 bucks an hour. What could be possibly wrong with that. First you're so very lucky if you work 8-430. Its a job where you leave when the work is completed so it could be 5,6,7,8, 9-midnight before you leave. They dont care if you have kids or a family. They say the money is worth it but fail to give you your 15 an hour times 1.5 for overtime. They give you 13.50 times 1.5. What job does this? The rate is 130/hr picking cases of liquor up near 50 pounds. The training on the power equipment is about 20 minutes then you are certified. 

Then most of all, the employees bully you if you're not making the rate they expect. Even if its your 3rd day. You tell management and they brush you off. I called off the day after easter for a family emergency and a coworker threatened to knock me out for such behavior. 

Overall, horrible company to work for.

It depends on the day for what is expected, somedays quantity is more important than quality, some days vise versa.  The associates on the floor are amazing to work with, management have no clue what's going on ( or if they do, they hide it very well). the only time cleanliness and organization is important is when we have guests. They still run on a 6 month rolling 12 point system ( outdated). family emergencies are points, not enough pto/vacation/ sick time to cover being a single parent. the GM claims to be passionate about the associates, but the heaters were turned off and huge fans running in 30 degree, snowing weather. We freeze, and are still expected to reach unobtainable quota, when asked if upper management can obtain these numbers, the response was " they have seen it done". We do not have the means to provide quality work within the standards that have been put into practice.
