The only good thing about working here is the pay, and it isn't THAT good. 

The management team at this company excels in micromanagement, favoritism, and cultivating a toxic, unsustainable work environment where favoritism runs rampant and accountability does not exist, so long as you are in the managements good graces. They have garnered such a bad reputation in the area, that when I tell others that I used to work there, I'm met with apologies, and questions about how I managed to stay there for that long.

They change policies to suit their needs at any time, for any reason. While I was there, the attendance policy was changed no less than 3 times within a 6 month period, on top of a litany of other changes for everything from PTO, to clock in/out procedures, shift start/end times, ect. These changes were always made suddenly, with no warning or communication given to the employees, aside from a copy of the policy given to the management team. (Who would occasionally just sign for their employees without informing them of the change, or allowing them to view/read the policies)

As I've said, the pay for the area is above average, but they have to pay that much to get anyone to stay, and I know several former employees that have taken pay cuts (myself included) to escape the environment that the management team has allowed, and in fact encouraged, to take root there. All of the employees are overworked, regardless of department or position, and there is no consistency with scheduled. Your manager will change the days/shifts you are working on a whim, and say it's "for the needs of the company", regardless of your input or commitments outside of the facility. This place will only lead you to be overstressed, overworked, and dissatisfied. Avoid at all costs.

I tend do to a lot more than necessary for my job as a system operator. As some people are clock in, do the minimum and clock out sort of folks. I am not. I go above and beyond for this company, knowing the ins and outs of what is needed to be done for the most efficient and productive methods of flow and problem solving.

It's a basically fully automated warehouse. With the exception of unloading and loading trailers with forklifts, maintenance, and QA/planning for logistics. 

Pay is pretty good for the area. Really what makes or breaks it is the shift team and your own knowledge and drive.

Typically you just supervise the computer programs and make sure everything is running as it should. You'll have to go out in the cold and fix generally easy mechanical or physical issues with product, the stacker cranes, or machines/conveyors. You may have to climb up to ~160ish feet in the air on a ladder with a harness and ladsafe hooked onto a metal cable and fix an issue. You work with a team of up to 5 or 7 people on your shift, cleaning, watching the system, and clearing faults.

They offer very competitive pay and good benefits. You also have a chance to move up in the company, if you know people. That’s about the only great thing. HR is a joke and is close with all managers and has previously worked with a couple managers. Any complaint you have, it will be shared with managers and with the person the complaint was against. 
Training is a joke and you’ll be shown once and expected to figure it out yourself. Kind of like being thrown to the wolves. 
Managers are either good friends outside of work, or even married. Politics here is bad. If they don’t like you, they’ll try and push you out. They’ll talk bad about you and pretend to play nice.  Even if you enjoy the job, working there will make you hate it if your manager or supervisors don’t like you. Some managers will micromanage you. If you want to move up in the company, you basically need to brown nose and not apply for any positions they/they’re friends/spouses want. They’ll write you up for things you haven’t done just so they can get rid of you. 

I would highly discourage anyone to work here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s very new and not a lot of problems.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The physicality of it. Climbing, lots of stairs, and you must use your badge to enter restrooms .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is lacks. They are still figuring it out I guess. They celebrated mothers and Father’s Day pride month but no Juneteenth so take from that what you will.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s very quiet in the building besides the hum of the machinery running. We typically get 3/4 calls a night in maintenance. The company has a social media platform that they expect us to relay every detail of the day or night. It’s pretty chill though. My supervisor are a bit rude but I manage.

The rapid growth at NewCold brings significant opportunities for employees, and combined with the company’s positive and supportive culture, it makes NewCold the best employer I have worked for. NewCold is committed to fostering a family-like atmosphere where every team member’s expertise is valued and recognized, and clear paths for career development are provided so employees can thrive and advance within the organization.

While I am aware that experiences may differ from site to site, I do not share the negative feedback some have expressed. In my view, the true strength of NewCold lies not just in the company itself, but in the people you work with every day. The collaborative and inclusive environment, along with the company’s dedication to innovation and employee empowerment, sets NewCold apart as an exceptional place to build a career.

This company is young and hungry. Great pay and benefits for such a young company. every day improvements are being implemented  so there is a lot to look forward to. down side is management is always changing and roles within facility are always changing. if you accept this is a new company that is still working out the kinks, this wont be an issue. work culture is great with potential to advance through the ranks. this company will believes in hiring with in for most positions. 
For more skilled technical positions NewCold offers great certificate course either on site or will pay for travel and amenities for studies of site.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is decent and the coworkers at ur same level are decent

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never knowing If ur gonna get fired. 1 day rules and regs are "this" literally the next time are "that" and someone is getting written up for something that they have changed and nobody has any knowledge of it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cold but the ppl u work with hand to hand make it tolerable. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Cold and so long as ur doing what u know and policies haven't changed then ur golden and the day is ok.

Leadership and Regional teams have favorites that they move up in the company, a bias undertone when dealing with employees with a certain ethnic background. People only hire people of color as a quota. Leadership has no backbone and does whatever the regional team tells them. It is too new for the environment to be toxic, backbiting, noncooperation, and cutthroat behavior.

Pay attention who you hire in operations, leadership and supportive roles for this location. These unskilled people will eventually run this site to the ground and lose any potential customer base you are trying to gain.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is very fair, if you manage to get a 10 hour shift you have 4 day work weeks. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lower management isn't the best but in their defense most of them are new. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A mix of great employees and bums, if you get on a good shift you'll love it here. If you get on a bad shift you'll hate life. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Time goes by ultra fast when working in the cold. There's almost always something to do but it isn't always good.

Great place to work at, and definitely will receive the tools you need to succeed. Just can't be shy, and need to ask for help if needed. Little to no micromanagement, as you have to manage your time wisely and get things done. Parts of the month is more hectic than the rest, but of course lies in the role you're in. Great competitive benefits and the company is rapidly growing, so that means there may be potential for upwards mobility. Friendly environment as far as I can tell, and everyone was very nice. Location is great too.
