JD Food

This organization is a Family Owned Food Distributor.  It's actually a group of companies because ownership consists of two families that own and operate various parts of the operations. They definitely try to promote the "we're a family" kind of office culture, but at the end of the day its a business so the that kind of culture feels disingenuous. 

I've seen Sales staff come in and be let go a few months later. From what I can tell, they're under lots of scrutiny.  Some sales staff seem to be doing well, they get recognized with awards, but then suddenly exit the company. This may speak to the levels of stress they're under. The warehouse crew puts in lots of hours, their shifts seem to be about 10 hours a day and the environment is very cold. If you're looking for a warehouse type job, then just be aware they'll work you hard. One guy I got to know said he got injured at work and his management and fellow co-workers kinda started to give him the cold shoulder. 

This company has very few days off and only recognizes a couple holidays a year. They don't do titles, though top level leadership have titles. Which makes it difficult to have any career growth. The lack to titles means they may have you work on anything, even if it isn't related to your position. This is a place where social credit is probably more important than hard work. Due to it being a family company, nepotism runs rampant at this place.  Some family members are good co-workers, others not so much. 

Overall I think this organization can be decent as long as you know what you're getting into. If you're a hard worker, you can succeed if you play the social game. If you want career growth within the company, it'll be challenging. Your responsibilities will increase but your position has no title, so to the outside world it will look like you didn't grow in the business. I'd be  weary of working for this company, unless you come in with specific goals in mind. 

they bring in people from their church and give them the fast pass to the better jobs, if they tell you to start in the warehouse and then shortly you will move you on to another more desired position they are lying, at best you'll work a few years before being moved and most likely not to the position you want. If you're not a yes man they treat you poorly. If you're a hard worker be prepared to be taken advantage of. They don't believe in titles but believe in giving you responsibility of a title type job I.E make you a supervisor or lead without the title or raise but expect you to handle all the responsibilities and work without complaining, and when you stop being their yes man they will find a reason to get rid of you. 

I got hired as a Quality control but, you’re not really doing any checks beside the basic hourly checks. 9 out of 10 you will be on the line doing production work OR if you were in my shoe, will be at the end of the line palletizing varieties of cases in high speed.  If you’re not bilingual, you’ll have a hard time around the company because most are not English speakers. Lastly, management will over work you depending on the hoidays. They will make you stay over 12hr +. You’llNEVER get to leave home at your 8 hour shift. 

Be prepared to be taken advantage of if you’re a hard worker and see minimum compensation for it.  Christian family owned company but at the end of the day it is a business. They will terminate you if they believe you don’t fit with the company no more. While they bring in unqualified people lacking work ethic.

Ive worked here for almost three years.  Very good (family owned) company.   Very flexible with time off requests. Work schedule is good also. We deliver to restaurants mostly but also grocery stores and other food distribution companies.  They are caring to to their customers and employees.  

Pay is not good compared to all the physical work you do. Driver's supervisor does not know how to properly communicate with drivers. If you mess up you'll hear it from other drivers not supervisor. You get blame for truck/equipment breaking.

JD was a good place to work. the enviorment was great and the management was strong. i had close collections with them so i have nothing bad to say rather than there pay scale wasnt great for the back breaking work being done.

Great place to work.  Co-workers are helpful and friendly.  supervisors have my best interests in mind and ownership is always available.  
The culture is unique because they take a team approach to getting the job done.  Everyone works together, especially when it's really busy.  

Amazing people very family oriented, a great place to learn also grow. Not only on the job but personally as well. The culture is very welcoming and uplifting it will stick with you. There isn't a lot of companies out there that invest in their employees the way they do.

You tend to stay where you're hired, be it the position or the pay.  Not much room for upward advancement.  People are nice and they did work with my schedule for the most part.
