LeadPoint

My typical day begins at 4:45 am and usually ends between 2:30-3:00 pm. I come in 1st i set up sorting rooms. Hand out PPE as needed also make sure everyone signs in and that we are full staffed. If not fully staffed tell the manager and the customer how many we are short. Then we do daily stretches and then i get sorters in the correct areas that they need to be in. Start up the machine,fill out a little paperwork, work with sorters,call out breaks complete handspeeds 2x daily. An the last thing is probably the worst thing and that is the end of the day clean up...
For the most part all the people that work there have great attitudes,but some do have a hard time disiffering what to pick off belt,so that becomes tricky and the managment have always been pretty good with me always helpful. There was only one manager i didnt really care for. But you will always find someone you dont agree with if that is what you are looking for if you just go and do your job correctly and are on time and also have good attendance. You will do excellent with Lead Point!!!

VERY poor management
They give out more complaints & scolding than they do admiring our work
VERY cut throat on our breaks. They can make us take break up to a hour and a half early making us work for the next four hours before our lunch😂!!! 
They will say whatever to you and I mean WHATEVER.
If your not 18-21 this job won’t last u a month the way they treat people, I WILL PAY U IF IT DID lol!
They don’t care about anybody in there but themselves and those that make more.....
Ask my team lead when will we get our off day back lol feels like I’m in kindergarten.
OH YEAH, very high turnover rate as well so as long as you don’t mind BUSTING YOUR BUTT OFF BY YOURSELF AND RECEIVING ABSOLUTELY NO HELP (because THERE IS A CERTAIN team lead here that wont make certain people help out I’m assuming favoritism towards the elderly plays a huge role here)  then this is the job for you🤞🏽👋🏽 
I’m sooo getting fired after they review this but I soooo don’t care because I feel they should have gave me corporates number before I had to do all this mess

Worked there long enough to tell Leadpoint has it's issues. Either being cheap or unable to afford, you will be overworked to the breaking point with extremely hazardous and dirty.  The pay would be fair had they doubled their amount of laborers, as such you will often be doing jobs clearly outside your job description with zero compensation.
Supervisors are sloppy and quick to blame those under them, or play to favorites while not contributing or contributing very little.Unrealistic Quotas with long days(10-12hrs) with mandaratory overtimes.
If you have some type of health problem such as Asthma, Athritis,or poor eyesight you're life here will be a living miserable. Most enjoyable instance of job is walking away seeing you found better employment,I lament those who feel or are stuck and unable to advance from such a career.

A typical day at work starts with a safety meeting. Followed by sorting garbage for two hours, then a way too short break, another two hours of garbage sorting then lunch. After lunch you sort for four hours without a break, then you clean up and go home. I don’t think I learned anything from working here. Management could only speak broken English, the person who was supposed to train me didn’t speak English even. The workplace culture was super toxic, management had favorites and looked down on new hires. Asking for a bathroom break was seriously looked down upon. The hardest part of the job was dealing with terrible smells and dangerous material coming down the conveyor belt, and the weird feeling that looking at garbage hurling towards you quickly has on you over the period of hours. The most enjoyable part of the job was leaving.

This job is not for everyone! If you have a weak stomach and can't handle hard labor do not work for them it's a very dirty in. You sort trash for recyclables and I've worked every part of that recycling machine they are tough lines and there are easy lines. Post sort being the hardest. The pay at the time was great just above minimum wage at the time, however there was no dental, health, or 401k.
Handling commercial and residential trash is what we do a very team orientated job. Especially in post sort and pre sort communicating with your team isbessential to keeping the work flow going. It's imperative. Overall I enjoyed my time with this company the only down side is the smell and the work conditions at times.

What is the best part of working at the company?
In the beginning and the first 3.5 years. The company was ran professionally and the morale was very high. It was in the beginning a Customer Service position. After 3.5 years mangement changed it became a sales position and the mangement team was not the same. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The sales quota was completely impossible and they removed the incentives.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good. Morale became very very low.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I'm no longer there. Before I left it was not good.

Place is very easy to apply and get hired for, but that's very the positives end. Pay is minimum wage for what can be grueling and often high stress work. What makes it worse is that the company doesn't treat your off hours as if you own them, but rather they do. If you refuse to work on your day off then not only does management get annoyed with you, but so do the other workers. Even in the scenario you don't mind working an extra day for overtime, there is a decent chance they'll give you an extra day off so that they don't have to pay the extra amount you would have earned.

One of the most rewarding companies that I have ever worked for. There is great room for advancement and they provide top notch coaching to get you there. It can be challenging at times, but the leadership and management teams always ensure that you have everything you need to be successful. There is no lack of communication in this organization and they have an open door policy when it comes to suggestions and improvements to make things even better. While working for LeadPoint, I felt like a very valued employee in a great team environment. I am thankful for the opportunity I had with this company.

The day goes smoothly most of the time. I learned how to train my mind to focus on more then one thing at a time and to ignore the cold. The management here is willing to work with almost anyone who wants to prove them selves so you will see a lot of diversity. The hardest part of the job is working in extreme weather conditions (to hot or to cold) and the most enjoyable part of the job is the comradery between the coworkers.

I have been working Leadpoint for 14 month  with all of the transforming there's a little I'm certainly in a load of increasing workload the stars and the unknown little can be scary but things are certainly moving in the right direction the pit can be a little tight  you will like every day working there people want to know everything you do ride down to why you breathe in such  stinky airLong hours and your feet hurt at the end of the day
