If you don’t try to become your supervisors best friend, good luck. Typical day was clock in at warehouse at 10:00, head into the freezer where we unload trucks (unless your friends with the manager, then you get to be in the non freezer department), and start unstacking pallets of merchandise. That’s it. That’s literally all you do. For how easy it is, pay is fair. If you want a job where everyday is the same, then this is for you. You will be on your feet for the entire shift, very high pace, unless you once again, are one of the managers friends. In that case you may be able to just sit on the forklift all shift unloading the trucks. At my specific location, all the manager did was sit outside smoking, and play on his phone. Ironic considered he chewed multiple of my co workers out for simply checking the time. Workplace culture was probably the worst I’ve ever experienced. We all know the saying “you come to work to make money, not make friends.” Yes that is true, but for it to be as low as this job is unhealthy. Warehouse associates often don’t even talk to each other. I went multiple shifts without saying a single word, but that goes both ways. Hardest part of the job, just unstacking boxes non stop that can sometimes be heavy, and often are pretty high off the ground for the average person to grab. Most enjoyable part of the job, the hours. This job didn’t give me the amount of hours I needed financially, but night shift is not bad. I personally like getting home between 4-5 am and having all day to sleep, and do whatever I want to in the evening. There are definitely worse jobs out there, but I would not recommend this company. 

I'm Thankful for my time working for merit logistics LLC my manager was a kind and respectable guy who would help me out when needed I love working with some of the co workers others to me are to personal and still have childish ways there's alot of personal friendships there also I like alot of the DG workers at that distribution center along with the site second shift manager / supervisors maintenance guys and security guard officers we're all nice the job itself will leave you sore as you do have to lift alot heavy boxes etc you shrink wrap alot and it is very fast paced so you must adjust if your not use to that kind of work as they give you incentives but only if you get through your 90 day probation period but your pay will increase after that with benefit options the good thing is there's good food for lunch microwave drinks flat screen TVs etc filter water there from those dispensers throughout the warehouse smoking area for those who smoke they will train you on equipment and the job task you do get paid every two weeks rather direct deposit or you choose company pay card now you have to consider this when working here and it's a fact that you will start out getting fulltime hours but eventually it will slow down meaning container season hours will get cut plus you'll be rotating days  I worked sun -Thurs scheldule for them from 5 pm to 1:30  am and it felt like I only got one day off during the week you will miss family time do to this shift Better luck to those who choose to work for this company I wish them the best

I worked there for about two weeks and quit when they continued to make excuses for not training me for the job they hired me for and then sending me to other various places to get shoved off from area to area within the warehouse. I was hired to drive forklift and load trailers. The trainer promised to make the necessary time to train me but never followed through. Management actually got upset over my leaving, because of this. 

Other than that they did have great people who basically came to me with the job offer. The hiring staff, the office, and the pay was good at the time. I might still have worked there if I had been trained to do the job they hired me for. But, I have worked for very professional companies and refused to be jerked around and lead on, and I definitely don't tolerate being shoved off.

I ended up finding that the liquor picking department was more my speed while they were shuffling me around between areas.

During my time at Merit Logistics, I encountered theft by most employees.  Additionally, employees were doing unethical things to the company and with each other.  The workplace culture was that of do unto others before they do unto you, to include improper  timekeeping practices.

The PTO and other benefits were POOR...a typical day at work included seeing people do things in the parking lot that I've never seen before and stealing merchandise.

The Management had no regard to what was going on..they had their own agenda of starting up their own business.  One Site Manager did so poorly, that instead of termination, they transferred him to a different site.  The Corporate HR Dept. changes several times during my employment, from the HR VP to HR Managers and Recruiters.  A revolving door.

The hardest part of my job was going to work each day..the most enjoyable part of my job was resigning and knowing that I would never work for that company again.

I worked at Merit Logistics for a very short time and realized pretty quickly that it wasn’t a good fit. The work environment felt really unstructured, people were constantly moved around instead of being allowed to focus on what they were good at. I personally like working efficiently and hitting incentive goals, but the way things were set up made that hard.
If you thrive in highly structured environments where tasks are assigned clearly and accountability is a priority (it is not here), this might not be the best place for you, especially if you're sent home early at managements discretion. That said, it could work for someone who doesn’t mind a more chaotic workflow. I decided to leave early because it just didn’t match the way I work best. The pay is decent, good for someone looking for a temporary job or enjoys physical activity and working at night. 

... in the sense of easy advancement and job security, a good work ethic and attendance record will get you there. There’s a ton of ways to either progress in the company or make more money. Incentive pay, travel team, or promotion and expansion are examples. There is a job for almost anyone, as the work you might experience could be different every day.  You work closely and build strong business relationships with a single customer company, helping them form the big picture of their operation. This could include responsibilities like shipping, receiving, inventory, and many others. 

Employee retention is a huge thing at Merit. Managers, leads, and supervisors are held to a high expectation for communicating to employees and overseeing operations fairly. They benefit from employees who last and remain motivated, so they are eager to keep anyone who shines.

I was hired into Merit as an order selector and within 6 weeks was promoted to trainer. After training 2 months I moved to HR and eventually became the site manager. I told every new hire employee if you have the three A's you will succeed. Attendance (showing up on time and assigned shifts), Accountability (doing what you are supposed to be doing while you are there...no excessive breaks or "disappearing) while scheduled, and Attitude (there are a lot of unhappy people that work in the distribution center (both with Kroger and Merit) and I always recommended to focus on YOUR work, ignore the nay-sayers and avoid any conflict either verbal or physical because nobody ever wins in those situations. If you stick to those threes you WILL succeed with this company.

Merit is a joke. They have no care or consideration for their employees. They just want bodies. No one knows what they're doing or how to communicate. Every single person is on a different page. The only benefit was paid time off IF you are one of the select lucky few that the website they use actually works for. If you're not, then you get tk watch all your PTO time rack up with no way to cash it in. And don't even think about asking your boss for help. All of the imbisiles running that place don't know how to do anything actually helpful. Merit Logistics is a third party company under contract with Kroger at the Kroger Distribution Center and they don't even want Merit there anymore. Ask anyone who works there how they feel about the company, supervisors, or employees. The sooner they go out of business, the better. Put your time and energy into finding a job that's actually worth you.

Felt overwhelmed every day. And upper management was not good at all. And it's cold and there is honestly no set time when you get off you get off when you are done. I've worked there twice so kinda odd the first time was great could not have asked for a better place to work they got me through a lot and actually cared about me but when went Back it was under new management in office and that was the issue. They didn't are about you at all. When I went back I was thinking it would be like it was before and I was Also lied to In my interview I was supposed to work Monday through Friday and have weekends off and I get there and they had me working every Thursday Friday Sat and sun 12 hour shifts. So right from the start a lie . 

Favoritism, Toxic workplace, unfair advancements, unrealistic expectations for only 1 individual warehouse, 3rds is always wrong, 1st is always right, typical warehouse stuff but by far the worst one I've dealt with, management is an absolute mess, raises are near impossible unless you're brown nosing, if i could in anyway at all give a literally 💩💩 review i would. but in all seriousness if you literally just need to get by give it a try, the people for the most part can be the best part, during my time i met alot of decent people and Whatnot but I've probably shaved 15 years off my life from the lack of common sense from practically management and up. Supervisors are pretty cool for the most part but some are just terrible, negative Nancy's who absolutely love to ruin peoples day.
