Lift Incorporated

lift is only interested in making money, It does not matter to them if the job is done correctly or not. Management cannot be trusted, I personally have caught them in more than one lie, and will blame anyone to keep themselves out of trouble. The owners themselves barely even consider you as a number anymore and seemed to have adopted "If you don't like it there's the door" policy. If you enjoy fake people that pretend to be your friends then this is the place for you. They will stab you in the back and kick you to the curb no matter how long you have been there or how good of job you have done, if it benefits them, they will steam roll right over you!!! They will take their managers word over yours always, they wont even sit and talk to try and resolve an issue, your guilty without them even listening to your side of the story! So, if your happy to do enough just to get by, and jump from job to job without caring about being a professional, this is the place to work!!

Lift continually fluctuated throughout 3.5 years of being there.  Started off great with a cohesive team.  Definitely more focused on the forklift service over other service.  I found myself within their aerial dept, it was pretty much a free for all with little direction and overwhelming amounts of work with little support from the office from anything from scheduling work to technical support.  Overall not a terrible place but learned that other companies doing similar work we’re paying way more than lift alongside bringing in less experienced techs and paying them as much as techs with seniority.  Seems like to be successful you need to know the right people to make it work for you.  I found myself backed into a corner with little support and the stress at work was too much.  Did not find my last year there enjoyable and am much happier with having moved on.  Lots of glitz and glimmer in my opinion over taking care of techs.

Lift Inc. is a fast-growing company with a culture that supports both driven individuals in addition to those with busy family lifestyles.  As a young college student with little knowledge of the sales industry, an internship with this company is highly rewarding.  Every person I had an opportunity to work with was personable and had a unique story to share.  Whether it is the exposure to various facets of the industry through new marketing efforts and individualized projects, ride-alongs, or even meetings with senior management, each experience fosters personal creativity and communication skills.  The internship experience at Lift Inc. was truly invaluable, and the relationships that were built transcend the work day!

I enjoy the job and what it entails. This job has given me a lot of experience with hand tools and different warehouse environments. As far as the management goes, Its lacking. My employer subcontracts for lift inc. and is an older gentlemen. There is a lot of miscommunication and unnecessary running around. I am very flexible, but the uncertainty and chaos that comes along with being employed by this company is too much. The hardest part of the job is just that, not being sure if I will have a full weeks worth of work or if ill be traveling for 3 hours each way. I love the industry and environment. I wouldn't trade all I have learned at this job for anything.

What is the best part of working at the company?
When I first started, I really like the job duties i was given and had remote flexibility as needed to be there for my son (sickness, unexpected daycare closures, etc).

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Eventually, they changed my duties completely and became completely inflexible when it came to sickness with myself and my son. It became nearly impossible for me to work there.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its ok. But definitely completely unsuitable for parents of young kids

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Not too busy. They couldn't keep up with giving me 40 hours of work.

Management is almost the equivalent to game of thrones. Managers aren't  put in the position because they are good for the position but how much they are liked by the higher ups.
They say employee owned but you have zero say in anything. Your opinion does not matter to the higher ups.
They also hire anyone with a pulse, even if they are under qualified. 
With the mentality no person left behind.
They dont recognize their most valuable people and their communication skills are terrible. 
It's not the worst place I've worked for. They do give bonus at the end of the year and a ham. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Honestly,  there was no positive working here.  Hr and management turn a blind eye to problems that managers can't fix and cause.  I witnessed a co-worker get thrown under the bus for a manager. This place is the worst.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That you could literally lose your job any given day. Get ready to be roadkill to save a managers job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic.  Extremely toxic. Coworkers don't have your back and bully you.  Managers don't have your back either.

This company does not give proper trAi i g to anyone but the technicians.  In the interview they will promise to train and retrain if needed but they don’t, then when your there 45 days they write you up for not doing your job then when you start asking other employees  how to do things because you still haven’t gotten the proper training they tell you you’re not meshing with the company and they fire you around 60 days.  To many managers and the managers themselves don’t know how to do your job.
Employees are nice but management is horrible at least at the Carlisle location!

Lift Inc is a great place to work. The company is an ESOP, and we have had great growth in our share value which should be in a great retirement income.  There are lots of opportunities to advance within the company and the company. Generally tries to promote from within. It is a fun place to work with lots of company. Provided lunches and fun activities. The companies has really grown a lot in the last four years and there are a lot of new people. I can’t say enough good things about working here.

Techs are the only ones that receive adequate training. Poor management makes for bad employees. It’s a fend for yourself environment. You are given more tasks than one person can handle and then written up for not being able to accomplish your tasks. If you are not in the “group” you are constantly in trouble. 
Management is constantly contradicting themselves and do not support their team. You will be thrown under the bus to save their own rear ends.  Retaliation is real.
