Pay: I give this company 2 stars for profit sharing. However, most months minus the end of the year/busy season it would be better for them to get rid of profit sharing all together and just pay people more money. You are operating dangerous machines, and lifting lumber. Most physical warehouse jobs are starting at least $20 an hour. They will start you at minimum or a little above. Then when you get raises it will put you pretty close to what the guys who have been there over 20 years make. Not much more left for you to make. 

Schedule: For the most part they are pretty relaxed when it comes to needing to leave early for an appointment, or requesting time off. But they are really weird about unpaid time off. Which, if I give you enough notice why does it matter if I don’t want to get paid? Supervisors will legit act mad at you, not be a decent empathetic human and ask/tell you to feel better if you call out because you a genuinely sick every once in awhile. Meanwhile the same guys are calling out sick every week the same day. The don’t offer sick days at all, and it takes about a month and a half to accumulate enough hours for 1 day off. So you better not have any life things happen in a month and a half…car, sickness, kids, family emergency etc. They flood frequently, cancel work, and expect you to use your PTO, or Vacation days to cover the time. While simultaneously saying your PERSONAL time off and vacation is for events such as flooding. 

Overtime: During busy times they’ll beg you to come in on weekends, stay late etc. but as soon as it slows down they’ll cut your hours stating they are too slow to pay overtime, but still allow the guys who’ve been there longer to clock legit 30 overtime hours or more.

Management: They play favorites, and hire friends and family. They rarely hold people accountable, or write people up who are insubordinate and make the same mistakes frequently. They don’t hold everyone to the same standard. They say they want your input and ideas but then they never listen or execute those ideas. They lack basic empathy and morales, they don’t realize people have lives outside of the work place. They lack the ability to take responsibility for their mistakes and shortcomings. And they lack formal education or experience in supervision so they don’t know how to deal with conflict, or how to appropriately speak to their subordinates and behave professionally.  Therefore, any issues you have with your work environment or coworkers, that you bring to them to do their job and use their power appropriately, they write off as you being a whiny complainer. 

Coworkers: They don’t do background checks, you could be working with anyone, violent people etc. The company has no morals, they don’t care as long as you have a pulse. It’s very you’re either in or your out. 

Training: Basically non existent, you go in, you learn by doing. They say they want people who can do multiple things but don’t expect to be certified on forklift, or other machines. 


Advancement: This is a dead end job. All supervisor positions are filled and there’s nowhere to go in the company unless you want to work there for 40 years to MAYBE become a supervisor

This was an awesome job to work for ,until they kept hiring people that lost their position as supervisor, not allowing others who have been there a year or more to advance in the company,especially when it's a high turn over rate. I've excelled in every job title at mcintosh,they continuously have said they were going to make me a supervisor, next in line, but kept pushing me back.  They have a current supervisor who has cause problems ,threaten people, start physical fights, and nothing has happen,he still is a supervisor.  Another supervisor has dranked on the job, they have also covered that up and brushed it under the rug. Another supervisor sleep on the job in office and or car,and brush it off. Over time ,I felt like I need more structure, my skill set can be wasted,so I myself have decided to finish out my day,which turn into my last,I know my values and what I bring to the table and any other warehouse would love to have me as there employee. I know my worth.

If you have a work ethic don't go here! Everyone is lazy; they all work just hard enough to not get in trouble with their higher-ups. This applies to LITERALLY EVERYONE in the company. I could have worked there for 2 weeks without them even knowing if I had done anything or not. 0 communication, 0 accountability, I was working for a day without even having been set up for taxes or pay. Still haven't heard a word about the pay that I should receive for that day. Horrible place. Don't EVER apply here if you care about yourself one bit.

Dealing with toxic co-workers and negative leadership

This place is about to go under due to horrible management so I wouldn't waste my time. They say Mon-Thurs on the job posting but you definitely work Mon-Friday and most Saturdays.  The pay is pretty much insulting and management definitely plays favorites. No way to advance in the company either and raises are rare if at all. It's sad because when I started I loved it but then it slowly started going down hill now it's rapidly going down hill

Next to no room for advancement, training, etc. Management at the top can be disconnected from the realities of floor operations. A lot of favoritism for the few employees not in floor operation. Profitability solely off the back breaking work of everyone at the bottom making minimum wage. Some really terrible managers that aren't held accountable for the ongoing problems they create.

This job was fast paced and you had to be a hard worker, but if you could keep up you could make good money.  I did everything from sorting pallets, repairing, and transporting pallets with the forklift.  My co-workers were great and management tried to keep the work environment positive with pizza parties and employee appreciation.  The hardest part of the job was repairing the pallets.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the team spirit.

This job only hires durg addits criminals and deadbeats literally nothing but low lifes. And racism this is a job for low life bums management is a joke don't ever complain youll be fired. This how it works here if your white they will treat you like gold if not good luck supervisor is racist management is racist its a very racist environment if your young find somewhere else to work this is where the lowest of the low go
