I have worked a few warehouse jobs and this one definitely has the best work/life balance. Most warehouses have mandatory overtime but no mandatory overtime here. However the downside is no voluntary overtime either. However with annual and quarterly bonuses plus incentive pay you do have options to make extra money. Job is “work until the works done “ so some weeks you will cling close to 40 hours and some weeks you cling close to 30 mainly in the summer because they distribute to schools and obviously schools are out in the summer. Incentive pay is great and pays out every other week but I will say it’s a big learning curve to start earning incentive pay.

They tout advancement opportunities, but only if you want to become a truck driver. The management team never changes, so there are never any higher positions to apply for. Even when there are other positions open, the hiring managers play favorites and politics with the job candidates. They don't like to give enough training to new hires and expect the coworkwers who have worked there a while teach them what to do instead of having a trainer or supervisor teaching them. Once you know what you're doing on the job, it's not bad work... if you only want to work there for a few years. Unless you really want to spend the next 30 years stacking boxes on pallets and loading/unloading trucks, don't go looking for a career in that warehouse. 

Over all meet some good people. Management sucks with attitude. Favoritism well known there especially if your DAD is a supervisor. Majority of the employees there have nasty attitudes even when your new. It's like going to high school popular to non popular. Hmmm? For being weekly pay sucks checks are short even the hours. Management sits there want you to go fast to get $5 a day for hitting score. People don't know how to drive a pallet jack for "safety protocols" Trainers walking around with a clipboard dock you for every little thing but won't talk to you how to correct it. They will fire you for little things as well like picked the wrong item or you got hurt, plus it's not worth it to injure yourself.

Decent place to work. Hours are inconsistent. Direct supervisor was awesome in Omaha, great guy to work for. Senior driver took help when he didn’t need it and manipulated things to get off early. Overall not a bad place to work, they paid very well for the size of company they were and most of the people you worked with were good people. Equipment wasn’t bad either, trailers were nice and clean. Don’t really have any issues with the company and management, they did try their best to keep guys happy. Just a senior driver who caused drama and if he didn’t like you he would try and get you fired. Delivery times were kinda terrible.

If your in sales they treat everyone like your an outsider unless you live within 50 miles of home base of Cedar Falls. The middle management ( regional sales managers and above) of the company is the weakest and worst part of the company. If you make a mistake there is no " coaching" its either written reprimand or out the door policy. They also are modeling their business after Sysco which is a big mistake and they are not very good at street business. If you dont mind selling depressing healthcare business and dealing with a bunch of crybabies this is the company for you.

This is a long standing company and things are fast paced but getting ahold of management is difficult, maintence is shoddy or just not done and safety is promoted all over the place but never followed.

Be careful and you'll be alright but get hurt and it'll be an issue. Benefits are okay but not outstanding. HR backs the company and doesn't like you bringing up issues.

They train you to quickly, just to get hurt in the long run. They want you to go fast in this work environment riding on the machines it's not safe. They push and push untill you can't bite your tongue no more. They write you up if you miss pick by going to quickly! They give these bonus $5 a day to meet above goal. Not a good place to work. They treat you like garbage if you are not related to any sort of management. They baby the ones that are related and give them special treatment even if you are friends with them. 

I had an interview. There were two Supervisers interviewing. They were very polite and answered all my questions. I think I will get the job and will know on Monday. I’m really excited to work hear. If I get the job this is where I plan on retiring from. Great pay. Great benefits. Management is great. I love driving and meeting new people. If you a hard worker and dependable and treat everyone with the most respect would love this job. 

Title says it all. Good money but awful work, hours and management is awful. If you’re single and want to have no life this is the job for you. Just overall the management is in over their heads with the number of drivers they have. Scanners are awful, trailers are awful. New guys float so you have no schedule. Place is just awful to work for other than the money. Nobody is happy there! 

Manager does not care for others, only himself and the assistant manager. Bias pay, don't ever expect a raise in the food market. You can work there for 3 years and maybe see a dollar raise. You'll never get a yearly review and your hard work is never acknowledged or appreciated, but if you mess up the slightest thing you sure will hear about it.
