Julius Silvert, Inc.

I worked for Julius Silvert a little under two years. The owners, and HR leader create a very toxic workplace for all employees both Exempt and Non-Exempt. They are very good at overworking employees without acknowledging the additional stress they add to employees. Management as a whole has their hands tied, as the owners make it hard to get approval to spend even $100 for necessary tools to succeed. (For example: sharpies, or even wipe boards require layers of approval for senior-level employees to be able to purchase without using out-of-pocket dollars.). Disciplinary conversations, or even conversations for redirection are delivered disrespectfully by HR leadership. A tone of "panic" is utilized when instances do not require anything more than a quick question or conversation in a respectful manner. I have never reviewed a job I have left negatively, but in this case, it was so shockingly bad I felt responsible for sharing my experience in the hopes someone else would read and avoid joining a team that will 100% have a negative impact on their mental health. If you do join, within the first week more than 8-10 employees will come up to you with a fair warning of the team you just joined. Within just two weeks of joining the team, I was acutely aware I had made a mistake by the amount of disgruntled employees giving me a heads up. 

TLDR: AVOID JULIUS SILVERT AT ALL COSTS....RUN.

Workplace Culture:  This is an "established" company that operates like a startup outfit.    The workplace is disorganized, filthy and unsafe.   Leadership maintains a "caste-like" system and does not value or respect their employees; resulting in high turnover at all levels.  The employees who stay  are apathetic at best and miserable at worst. 

A typical day at work:  For my specific role (which is ironically but unsurprisingly available yet again) the actual job duties were nothing like what the job title implies.   As such, you will be pigeon-holed into a position you did not apply for then told to perform duties you have no skill or interest in.   If you attempt to comply, you will not be trained to compensate for this and it will inevitably impact your ability to do your job.

I've seen this pattern in other departments as well.  In short; You are literally set up to fail here.

What you believe you learned:   Integrity can cost you in a place like this.

Management:   A notable segment of leadership is highly unprofessional and disrespectful.   They do not inspire you to go out of your way for them or the company.

The hardest part of the job:   Not ending up on the news, when you inevitably have enough of their $#!%

The most enjoyable part of the job:   Leaving

I had worked here and was a very dedicated employee.  I cared about my employees, the vp of operations and the owners.  Eventually you realize your sinking in quicksand because it is alot for one man to make it run 100% every night. If your employees dont care you struggle. The employees you have, well let's say you get what you pay for. I left because I felt like it was time to move on due to a union scare. I have a son and family to support so I just left.  My only regret is you can learn a lot from the vp of operations. He is a true mentor. The place I'm at now I constantly compare my boss to him.  Most people would say run for the hills but I would go back if they called. I believe working there made me the boss I am today. If you interview for the warehouse manager position ask for 10-15k more a year.  You'll thank me later.

Owners are paranoid.  Management does exactly what the owners say, they do not or possibly are not allowed to think on their own.  Constant employee turn over.  This company lost most of their long tenured employees in the last few months, with more leaving in the new year.   That speaks volume on the type of company this is. 

I love working here and there well managed and organized, and updated equipment and I love the voice picking headset and the overnight managers are very professional and personal they come sit you down. if your falling off track they work very lineate with, attendance and at work trail's and tribulations they very approachable and understand to extinct love julius silvert.

They are always screwing over people by not paying them what they should even when you do your job to the best of your ability and you've been there for years. They are very unorganized and they treat their employees with little to no respect. Julius silvert is the definition of a dead-end job. They'll attempt to trick you into doing tasks that have nothing to do with what you apply for and will not pay you extra for it. some of the employees that work there are decent but  the managers or "higher-ups" as they call them sarcastically rude  individuals  that will do their best to make you feel like a slave

You will be over-worked and under-paid, you will probably work overtime but wont get paid for it. Raises are a joke, giving .50 cent raises are insulting when you show up and do your job. Yet, they are hiring many overpriced, high profile managers. Im not sure how this company is still in business. Owners and managers do not care 
about employees only how much money they make. There is no training, you are just thrown to the wopves and expected to figure it out. This is such a toxic work environment, and if you complain they make your worktime there unbearable. Best advice is go do anything else but skip this place.

The typical work day start off with the team meeting every morning. We discuss ways we could be more productive and increase production. Meanwhile, I learned how important it is to work as a team. Next, I enjoy the management because they stress the importance of respect and team work. Meanwhile, the hardest part of the job was when the team did not work together. Lastly, the most enjoyable part of the job is when we reached our quota and our productivity was high,
