Navajo Incorporated

I don't even know where to begin with Navajo, and there's no way to possibly squeeze everything I have experienced into one review. As a "second shift" production worker, here are some highlights:

- Supervisors that communicate almost entirely through yelling
- Being shuffled between warehouses and not having reasonable accommodations/room to work in either
- Being told on a regular basis that our pay is probably going to be cut and/or most of us will be let go soon
- Working underneath aisles while forklifts speed by (OSHA??)
- Having our schedule changed THREE times with hardly 48 hours notice (we started at 1:00-9:30PM and currently work 7:00AM-3:30PM)
- Being told that we will get written up if we are caught sitting DESPITE the fact that stools and chairs are provided and our work was largely stationary
- Getting blamed for orders being done incorrectly even AFTER the cameras were checked and we were found to not be at fault
- QA usually only checks product from the wholesaler and not how it's being repackaged, so completed orders sometimes have to be redone because a simple label was misprinted
- Asking for mats to stand on and being told that they would not be provided because our shift "wouldn't be around much longer"
- Requesting hand sanitizer near the time clocks and being told that we need to go to the bathroom and wash our hands if we don't want to get sick 
- A co-worker with cancer worked at Navajo NINE months before they bothered asking for a doctor's note specifying her limitations. They told her that she couldn't come back without one and she was given a week to have it or be terminated. 
- Being trained for flow rack, told that we'd have a permanent position in flow rack, and then never getting said flow rack built
- Almost getting hit in the head with falling debris while the ceiling was being repaired from the hail storm
- Actually getting smacked in the face by a hanging outlet that was not secured to anything (said outlet was later ripped off by a passing forklift)
- Our former supervisor telling us that Navajo is systematically going to get rid of us one by one 

... I'll stop there for now. 

Do yourself a favor. Don't work here.

This isn't a terrible place to work - it just isn't great. There is a fair share of egotism and office politics, which is so unfortunate because it really holds back company potential. There are so many small corrections that could be made that would have such a tremendous positive impact, but I see many of the veteran employees "scared for their jobs" and playing a blame game (which almost seems to be encouraged) that these areas of attention are often ignored. Mediocrity is celebrated here. Valuable ideas often go unnoticed because egos get in the way. The 3 years I spent here I learned that the company has no clear goal or direction in mind. "It is what is it." was a common phrase used by supervisors and managers. There is a culture of complaint. Which is so sad because if the people complaining spent that energy problem solving things would improve. 
My final take away? Navajo Inc. is afraid to succeed. They are perfectly content with settling. Is that really what you want in an employer?

Smaller company with main office in awful location.  A few different leaders with very poor communication skills and very set in their ways.  Generally, people in the organization are quite nice, but most seem to have a rough edge.  Typical warehouse culture, even in the offices with no importance put on personal character/integrity.  

I am a female. I was the only female in my department. I ran circles around my teammates, yet I did not get the respect I deserved. I went to management and then to HR to file a discrimination complaint, with  a promise of a response within 3 days. 2 and a half weeks later, I got fed up with being harassed by a fellow teammate, and no change in the work environment, with being given the worst tools, and not a word or resolution from HR, I quit.

This company expects you to punch out for breaks and lunch and be back on time otherwise you get points added up which lead to termination. There is a lot of talking while new comers are working which supervisors don't seem to think is a problem. Beware of accusations and possible arrests. The management of this company doesn't seem to care about how they effect their employees and employees families when they accuse employees of things that escort them from work to jail.

As a remote worker our team was based in different regions across the US. We were growing the business from the store level. It was an interesting challenge due to corporate floor plans and store management drive for high margins sales. Our business goals were not always symbiotic with the customer goals. 

Low pay. They hire other pullers with more "experience" at a higher wage. They treat their loyal employees very poorly with promises of advancement. Last min orders they expect you to get done in a unreasonable ammount of time before the trucks arrive. Must come in early and stay late. Or else you don't have "the best interest of Navajo". Management cant hadle work load so if something doesnt go out on time or isn't ready on time, its your fault.

There is no management structure. There is zero value for your work and even less respect from ownership. It feels like those that are employed there are either satisfied doing the bare minimums or have just given up. There are very nice people but very few arrive happy or go home  feeling good about themselves.  It is a terrible culture, so much sadness.  If you are unlucky enough to work on the sunglass business be prepared for pain and  suffering if you are not Chinese.  

Everyone walks around sad and depressed.  There's no leadership. Sales management will say it's a "team effort" then try and dump everyone else's work on you and then say your not a team player because you refuse to do others work and not be paid for it. Save yourself the grief. Bad location and the benefits are too expensive. 

It seems the management favors certain people no matter how hard you work, perfect attendance etc..if you’re not in their circle you won’t get advanced in addition, Knowing the owners, example playing golf with them, they will get much better treatment no matter how sub par they are as I experienced.   If you get hired it’s rolling the dice you will know if you’re in their circle. The better at kissing up better the chances
