This company has no compassion for its employees. ESPECIALLY during such a pandemic. Being an employee there for a couple of months I caught on to so much of their BS and bogus management. I was played out of 140$ of pay. Due to clocking in 15-30 minutes earlier then my scheduled shift but nobody bothered to communicate these things to me let alone anyone. Who knew clocking in early to go straight to work was a Supervisors carry themselves as high school children, and sleep with what ever employee they can get there messily hands on. First shift does a majority of the work and second shift lounges around most of their shift. Recently they let go of their SLG HR lady and it was the worst decision they could have made. She was the ONLY one who cared for the employees and their rights. .During this pandemic and as of last week 3 or more people tested positive for the virus and the employees were only notified about the very first person and were expected to be back at work the very next day after a lousy temp check. No meetings were ever held to communicate how they were going to ensure their employees safety and or how they were gunna go about things for anyone who didn’t feel safe working there with the virus still floating around in the air. Their hiring rate is most certainly lower then their firing rate. I’ve personally trained people and have had them leave during first break and never come back. Also they have you training people when they have supervisors and leads certified for training, for positions and machinery. They say they have this deliver the difference for people like me who are doing more then my regular duties there like training new comers and so forth but not once did I see a deliver the difference to my check or anything else.. the company is just straight trash. Their general manager is just a slob. He looks beat everyday that he’s there. All he talks about with employees is about his kids, occasionally his private parts and the drunk adventures he and other upper management have had. The HR lady there is just a low bitter lady. She does nothing but fires people for non reasonable reasons. Pretty much everyone in this place has kids or family they take care of she just doesn’t care. Let alone at all. I can honestly go on about so much they have swept under the rug as a company it’s sickening

The actual job is ok, it’s the management that seems dysfunctional. Very gossipy and lacks professionalism. Often heard management speaking poorly of other employees for the whole office to hear. Pay scale is definitely not competitive in the market. You’ll rarely (if ever) get a raise and there are no quarterly bonuses like several other trucking companies offer. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re doing from one day to the next. High turnover among management who rarely answers their phone or returns calls or texts. Management always seemed grumpy and short and often showed favoritism. Most non-supportive support staff I’ve ever experienced in over 22 years in this profession.  Health plan wasn’t the best compared to other trucking companies. 
Would not recommend working here. There are so many other jobs in this line of work for more pay and better, functional management.  

Started out working in the special projects area which is more like receiving at the 1590 building. Putting shipments away, then went to Perfect Timing to pick and pack, the hours are atrocious mandatory 10 hours a day seven days a week. No time off this went on for 5 months. The temporary service is a joke. They did not even know where you were working at no pay increases as promised no reviews when you were due them. Some temporary associates have been there for more than 2 years and ODW has not hired them as permanent employees because they don't have to pay benefits. Management is way out of control, money has gone missing from accounts from customers and theft is very high. When money goes missing from accounts they try to cover it up as a loss for other reasons when it is management really stealing it. Racist employment atmosphere derogatory working environment unprofessional management and just not a place I would ever recommend to anyone. ODW employees make fun of everyone and gossip about everyone even if they do not know you. They are vicious and nasty to all who do not fit their idea of an employee most are alcoholics and drug addicts, even the management is nasty and derogatory to employees including upper management

It wasn't bad when I first started here. We would sometimes do overtime (which meant 10 hour days through the week and 8 hours on Saturday and/or Sunday), but overtime is expected at a warehouse. That didn't bother me too much. The pay wasn't the best and was lower the most other warehouses when I was there. They would kind of take advantage of good employees (if you were good, they'd want to move you around everywhere and make you do several different things at once). They were usually pretty good about letting you have time off when you needed it (they even allowed unpaid time off). 

I ended up leaving due to a change in the company. It was taken over by different management and it went downhill fast as a result. A lot of my co-workers (including some that had been there for many years) left as well. They lost a lot of really good employees. I found out from someone who still works there that they did end up increasing the pay after I left, so at least that is good for people. I am happy to hear people are at least being paid a bit better now.

I absolutely love my coworkers and it’s such a great environment in that aspect. We all get along well and can have a great time while stilling busting our tails to get work done. We have come a long way and have more to do. There are a lot of chiefs and not enough Indians. They preach about hiring within for promotions and moving up quickly , however I have noticed people are normally coming from other buildings or even off the street for a position a current employee deserves  more, and they wouldn’t need trained as well. It sucks training people when you’re not considered yourself for the position if you catch my drift. S harassment  is taken VERY seriously , but that’s about it as far as the HR side is concerned. Your pay and schedule is subject to change , and they will do it very quickly at times. The coworkers really do make the days go fast and some even become like family. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job worked for a season.  I came back into trucking with them after 7 years away from trucks and limited experience at that.  For me, the job was more about re-establishing myself and confirming some skills and gaining more needed experience.  It served that function well.  I made pretty good money for my experience level-- the benefits, and time off, and other situations were precarious.  There were good and bad there.  It was a stepping stone for me that worked and got me through after losing a factory job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Third shift the night before Thanksgiving.  And-- the dissolve of overtime when peak season ended.  That's when I left.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All kinds-- good and bad.  There is hope and disappoint both.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Yard drive-- shuttle runs eventually.  12 hours.  Paid lunch.  Was 7 years ago.  Think I was paid 17 or 18 an hour plus time and a half.  Watch your payechecks for errors.  Every one.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the associates you become close with like  family and  very few of the managers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They dont stand with there core values and they will demote you because they are doing cuts on there shifts with the demotion they will even cut your pay even though you have worked your butt off for it and when it comes to pay raises good luck with that it doesn’t matter if you have not be coached or written up or missed work for a whole year they don’t care they will give you a .32 raise yes I said 32 cent raise 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Far from it everyone has a bad attitude because of the supervisors people are quitting because the pay isn’t worth with what you got to put up with

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in and clock in and listen to the supervisor that’s we did a horrible job and that we need to pick up the pace even though we picked twice as much as first shift had with a lot less people

A typical day of work at ODW can be different from day to day . During the peak season it gets very busy with a variety of different jobs to fulfill customer needs.  I've learned the importance of having the proper amount of experienced people to get the job done adequately.  The current management in this department lacks the knowledge and communication skills needed for us to do our jobs properly at times.  The work place culture is one strong point at ODW. There's a lot of diversity among employees there, and everyone does their best to work together as a team to complete tasks. The hardest part of the job is having the proper tools to work with, and we seem to be forever training new employees which slows us down. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be flexibility with overtime when employees need the extra money .

What is the best part of working at the company?
My schedule. The one thing they’re good at is working with you if you need Time off. But will say things like “you take too much time off” even with pto. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Current employee truck driver. Worked here five years make the same pay as the people that hire in off the street with no experience. You can never advance. I’ve seen two drivers get promoted to supervisor which is only way to get a raise. Both went back to driving. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Gossip, hang out, talk about employees poorly. Never get a raise as a driver, management is to be feared not worked with. Nepotism is very strong here. Lots of friends get management jobs, instead of promoting from within. 9 times out of ten outside person hired for any openings. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in get a list of things to do and go do them. If nothing going on, wait till something else is available to do and then clock out and go home.

Leads/supervisors/managers play favoritism and there is no communication so the employees are the ones who take the fall. Points not accurately maintained or monitored. Training is bare minimum and after that they get on you for doing something wrong even though it was not part of your training. If you're a hard worker and you slack once, they will get on you, but then there's others who do almost nothing and nothing gets said, they just pass their work onto others who are hard working. They will not take into consideration a better/faster/easier/cheaper way to do anything because THEY weren't the one to come up with it. They say they reward the employees/teams who win the SCOPE trophy, but we have won a few times in the past few months and have not seen a single reward for it. Not guaranteed 40 hours, one week you will work mandatory overtime, the next you will work 25 hours. Long story short, don't work here.
