A typical work day for me is completed packed. I work the early morning shift. I come in off of maybe 2-3hrs of sleep, no food and dehydration. On a Monday depending on how the schedule looks we may get 2 or 3 P.O.s that come in on top of a full truck on Friday. That’s about 26 fully stacked pallets and maybe 7-9 pallets for the P.O. depending on where it comes from. So, extremely stressful and a lot of wear and tear on the body. 

I learned to read the reviews before applying to a job. 

Management is honestly terrible. Like I said previously in my typical work day or week…if I try to take a break before my break time to breathe I get reprimanded for it. Even if we finish all of our work and we “help” with other departments it’s frowned upon. I’ve witnessed the most childish things while working here and know who did what and so does management, but they haven’t taken any actions to correct it. Well I shouldn’t say that, it depends on your skin tone.  

There is no culture here….there’s drama for no reason amongst the majority and that never gets corrected. Everyone just gets told to stay in their own department……lol it’s an entire warehouse and we’re forced to do everyone else’s job because they can’t afford to hire people. They have applications on hand, but judging from what I saw it’s old applications because they’re not advertising any openings. So, if you applied 6 months to a year prior you’ll be getting a call soon 😅.

The hardest part is the work load and expectations. Especially in my field of expertise. 

The most enjoyable part is talking to my team. Other than that….absolutely nothing. 

There’s very few positives to working here. At the West John office, it barely feels like an office. It’s small, cluttered, and hopelessly outdated. There’s wire racks or random product all around the office. Even the lobby is old and they can’t even update the picture frames in there. They basically had to apologize for the way it looked when I went in for an interview. It also smells in there.

Desks and computers are old. It took over a week to get me a non broken chair. Programs annd software are even older than the desks. Digital filing systems are needlessly complicated. IT needed four tries to set my computer up correctly.

The thing that struck me the most, however, was the drama and cattiness of the employees. Almost every day I’d overhear about a new drama between departments and how X person wasn’t getting along with Y person and it was causing problems. There were heated conversations and yelling in the conference room almost daily. I couldn’t tell if this was a place of work or a High School. 

There are some real good people who work there but I’d advise staying away if these kinds of things are not your cup of tea. Just too much drama.

Working as an Accounts Receivable Specialist at this company was a mixed experience. While there are a few coworkers who are genuinely friendly and supportive, the overall environment can be difficult to navigate.


The most challenging aspect of the role was the management style, particularly at the executive level. Communication from leadership often came across as dismissive and, at times, unnecessarily harsh. Feedback was not always delivered constructively, which made it difficult to feel supported or develop professionally.

Additionally, internal processes appeared disorganized and inefficient. There seemed to be a lack of experienced leadership in key roles, resulting in inconsistent guidance and a workplace dynamic where less experienced employees. Turnover is frequent, which further contributes to instability.

The company is presented as structured and professional during the hiring process; however, the day-to-day reality does not always reflect that image.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Honestly nothing. Toxic environment all around 



What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Extremely toxic environment. Ever single time my phone rang, I was expecting to be yelled at, blamed for something, or fired. 
Caddy team members always talking about one another behind their backs

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely toxic. No one willing to take responsibility for their roll in a project. Always pointing blame at other groups within the company. No one was pleasant to work with. Very hostile environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every project is a ‘priority’ making it extremely difficult to actually know what the priorities were, so everything became a rush and mistakes were bound to happen.

Everyone is miserable, and only looks out for themselves. No one is willing to extend a helping hand. Owners only care about themselves. Vacation time (10 days) does not increase ever, but owners take about 6+ weeks of vacation a year. No incentive to stay. You are just a number and they treat you as such. Benefits? What are those? They do not contribute to healthcare whatsoever. Forget the 401K match, it’s basically nonexistent. Offices are an absolute mess - not even a real break room. “Fast paced” means you barely have time for a bathroom break (when the bathrooms are working). Bathrooms flood, water gets shut off, HR tells no one. They tell you to drive to Target to use the restroom. Alarms go off and no one moves. Fire alarms? Warehouse alarms? Ceilings leak. Nails from pallets in the parking lots. 

This place has a very outdated application system you will have to use daily. You will be bombarded with a lot of work at times especially during holiday time. No one wants to help you, but when someone is out you have to cover their work and do yours. Even if it means staying after work hours. If anything goes wrong you will be blamed for whether it was your fault or not. People have attitudes and are very clicky.  Management doesn't listen to you or keep their word. Sadly this is the first job I ever had to quit because of the workload and environment/coworkers. If you decide to work here make sure you have a good memory because you will be learning a million different functions.

I only had the opportunity to work here for six months. At first, it felt fine and I was ready to learn and take on any challenges that came my way, but over time I found myself overwhelmed and lost. 

There were guidelines for most issues but not for everything. I asked questions and did as I was asked and told to and was eventually told that I wasn't doing what was asked of me or showing competency in my position and needed to improve. I took the points given and tried my best to work and improve on those points but it wasn't enough and was let go. 

Perhaps this wasn't the place for me after all. I wish the team the best of luck and hope that the next person they hire is treated better than I was.

A typical day for me was quickly getting the customers' products packed, ready and sent to the trucks for delivery. 

I learned how to use the scanner used to keep inventory of products needed to be shipped and I learned great team work.

Management was lenient because you're pretty much unsupervised and given freedom to do your job the best way suitable for you.

My co-workers were just as hard working and together we got the job done.

The hardest part of the job was only that the hours were sometimes very long depending on the work load. You could sometimes work 10, 12hrs or more a day.

The enjoyable part about the job was the freedom being unsupervised allotted.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work as a screen printer was the best part of working at Nassau candy. The equipment was In good condition
And we always had what we needed.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Deadlines were the most stressful


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mostly Spanish culture so learn Español. The food is great

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start at 7am , set up jobs then run the job. Check to make sure everything is complete.  move on to the next order

It’s a decent place to drive for. The routes are pretty consistent with occasional curveballs. Their system of doing things is antiquated. The warehouse employees are clueless as to how to build pallets/ load trucks. Plan on spending most of your days dealing with toppled pallets and rearranging the route. Management is easy to communicate with. Upper management is greedy. No money goes back into buying new equipment(hand trucks/ pallet jacks)/ phones/ trucks(constantly breaking down and falling apart).
