A typical day at work is clocking in for your shift and waiting for a desk to open up in order to start working which could be right away or waiting around for 20 min until some one goes to lunch then you can take their desk.( very unprofessional in my point of view)

I learned the AS400 system like the back of my hand with in two weeks and that was it 

Management is horrible. to start off, your through and agency which is total bogus and do not know how to run their business. Giving false information to all employees and messing up payroll on a consistent basis. Now, as far as the management at the work site, it is completely upsetting. The Site manager (main guy) does not care about any problems whatsoever unless it has something to do with him or if the police show up due to a fight breaking out in the warehouse. The "Office Manager" is very biased and will take side to her employees over the rest of us that are through the agency. She will throw papers at you if make a mistake and tell you with attitude to fix the problem, but when it comes down to her employees she just laughs it off and helps them fix their problems. The night shift supervisor is a total joke  the only reason he became a supervisor was because the last person in that position left and he was next in line. He sits there texting all day (not work related), or dancing around the office or pretending like hes playing basketball and worse he doesn't shut up about how he got dumped and that he  still wants  back with his ex. 

Co workers are also horrible they seemed to have been having a bad day everyday and always giving you attitude when asking a work related question. and one that works at night never shuts up and talks bad about other behind their back.

hardest part about the job was having to deal with all of their nonsense day in and day out. which made it difficult to concentrate and complete the work without any errors.( take in mind this is a data entry position were it should be somewhat peaceful environment not a call center, but it seemed to a really loud and obnoxious call center.)

the most enjoyable part of the job was either clocking out and going or working peacefully on Saturday with another quiet employee by yourself for two hours until this whole mess starts again.

 I would like to share my experience working at National Retail Transportation, specifically as the Facilities Maintenance Manager, to provide constructive feedback on certain aspects of my tenure.

During my approximately one-year tenure, I encountered challenges that significantly impacted both my work environment and the well-being of the maintenance team. As the Facilities Maintenance Manager, I felt overworked and faced challenges related to management dynamics.

One key concern revolves around the leadership style of the Senior Facilities Director. I observed a micro-management approach that created difficulties in project decision-making. Unfortunately, this also extended to the workday, where technicians faced restrictions on taking their lunch breaks.

Regrettably, there were instances where I was compelled to terminate five technicians, individuals I considered hardworking. These decisions were influenced by factors other than work performance, and I was required to make false accusations against them. This experience was both professionally and ethically challenging.

Additionally, I personally experienced working overtime without receiving due compensation. Despite raising concerns about employee rights and welfare, I encountered resistance and faced repercussions for advocating on behalf of the team.

It is disheartening to note a pervasive culture of job insecurity, with employees frequently threatened with termination. Over the course of my time at the company, I observed the termination of over 15 employees, often under circumstances that appeared questionable.

I strongly believe that addressing the root of these issues requires a reevaluation of leadership practices, particularly in the Facilities Department. Removing barriers to open communication and fostering a positive work environment would greatly benefit the maintenance team.

I share this feedback with the hope that it contributes to a constructive dialogue and positive changes within the company.

I run the office if my manager is absent. We are a trans-load facility for four companies presently and are still growing. I collect paperwork from drivers for loaded containers that are brought from the Savannah Port. I check that all paperwork is accurate, that the container has been parked in the correct slot, and I issue a gate pass for the driver to take an empty container out of the yard. I then take the paper work for the loaded container and print receipts for the warehouse to use in unloading the container. Part of the receipt(s) is put in a packet for that particular container and brought back into the office where the container is closed systemically. The second half of the receipt is used to load outbound trailers to a multitude of locations according to what company the freight belongs to. The outbound trailer packet is also brought back into the office where it is sent through our system and an e-mail notification is sent to various carriers that a load is ready for pick up. In addition to these duties, I also update and send multiple reports daily. I am an office SOP trainer for new hires, as well as learning new company procedures as they occur.

Working at National Retail Systems has been one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career. As an Office Manager, I felt both valued and empowered in my role. From day one, I was welcomed by a team that is supportive, knowledgeable, and driven by a shared commitment to excellence.

The leadership team genuinely listens to employee feedback and encourages open communication. I’ve always felt like my voice mattered, it truly is a tight-knit family at NRS. That level of mutual respect is something I deeply appreciate.

The company culture at NRS is fast-paced but balanced. There’s a strong sense of teamwork and accountability, and the expectations are clear. I’ve had the opportunity to grow professionally, taking on new challenges that have expanded my skill set while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

I’m especially proud of how our team collaborated across departments to solve problems and keep things running smoothly, even during peak seasons. There’s a sense of pride and ownership in the work we did, and that starts at the top and carries through every level of the company.

Overall, I feel grateful to have been a part of a company that invests in its people and values integrity, teamwork, and growth.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
work environment it's not the worst but could be better , culture hmm , well seems that it's on a need to know, and if u need to know good luck 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I make it as painless as possible get in get it done and go home

Depending on the time of year, your work day would be very slow with the least amount of excitement, or very fast and so fast that you gain a pounding headache.  

Learning how to be around many people within your daily co-worker circle and deal with their quirks (as we all have them) without being offended if those quirks were something I did not like nor used to being exposed to.  I would like to say that we all worked together as a team, but only a few of us did while others could care less about the team, which is unfortunate, but is expected when working with the different personalities of people.

The hardest part about the job was dealing with knowing how much better the department I worked in could have been with just a little more specific detail or even concern for the people working there.

The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting with new people & hearing their different experiences of life.

Lots of the recruiters are very welcoming to get you aboard and working their. I was told I'd be trained and I'd have two weeks to do the training. Took them a month before they hired me on and got me in a Truck. Some of the drivers I met were kind, it seems the driver I got who trained me was very disorganized and their wasn't a structure on how to learn the mcnally and the processes that needed to be completed in an order I could understand. Management was welcoming at first. But  I was let go on the 6th day without warning about what needed improved, only response I got was I didn't meet company standards even though I was learning everything in a structured way. But the manager never told me or warned me ahead of time about such obligations or the company standards as they put it. When asked I was told I had a week, when the safety department told me I had two weeks. I felt at odds like something wasn't right.

A typical day at work consisted of doing paper work, palletizing orders, and communicating with co-workers. I learned how to fill out paper work the correct way, weighting containers to make sure that they weren't over weight so they would be able to pass through the ports, and how to correctly fill up a container. Management at this location is awesome. They are very understanding and helpful if you have any problems or are confused about any aspect they will do their best to help you. The co-workers are the same way they are friendly and helpful. I'd say the hardest part of the job would be training new workers who would come in just because you'd have to explain the job process in ways that they'd fully understand, and the most enjoyable part of the job was just being able to come into a great working environment where everyone was friendly, helpful and got along.

The day would start with a review if the work from the previous shift and proceeded with a continuation of assigned duties. There were many problems to solve during a typical shift, but management was always available to help if experience was not enough to find a solution. Occasionally, a problem that was never encountered before, would come along and required a new procedure to be created. Being able to solve a problem, quickly, and teach fellow employees the solution, was the best part of the job. I learned that there are always alternatives to conventional thinking. Being able to think "outside the box" was one of the most valuable skills I gained from my employer.

A day that lasted the longest days ever, no end of the day with continuous call even after hours. I learned I was able to do everyone else job and could save the company money so my salary could increase. My management consisted of of a manager that took his personal life into his workplace and created issues. Also regional manager was taking narcotics not prescribed. The hardest part was having to work with two managers that spent more time behind closed doors than knowing what is happening in or around the office. The most enjoyable was when I left the company in 2016 and I decided the value of a dollar was no longer the same as the quality of my life.
