My ratings are mostly based on the quality of the job and what it offers, rather than how good or bad of an experience it was while working there. I'd say my experience working there wasn't bad, and most of my co-workers were nice. 

This job is okay as temporary, but if you're looking for something to give you skills or opportunities, then you're not going to be able to do that here. Plus, the pay isn't very good; you wouldn't be able to support yourself if you lived on your own. 

The working environment is okay as a custodian, not at all stressful. But if your job is fast-paced, then you will start to feel the heat affecting you. During the winter, however, the temperature isn't so bad, and if you get cold, you can wear a jacket.

It's also hard to talk to supervisors, considering Spanish is the dominant language. I do wish they made it easier for English speakers whenever they have to ask a question. Most of the HR can speak English, but they're only available at a certain time. So if you work at night, the number of supervisors who can speak English is limited. 

In short, working in a warehouse is okay as temporary or if you aren't expecting much, but if you want to be able to expand your horizons, then this place isn't for you. 

As a bonus random fact, I do want to mention that Ole recently created a little shelter by the parking lot with benches and a heater while people wait for their rides, so I do appreciate that. Ole should, more importantly, fix the work environment itself, though.

Would not recommend working for this company.  Management totally incompetent.  There is no kind of training.  Managers will at the first opportunity throw you under the bus to save themselves.  Communication is bad.  You find things/changes out through co-workers.  No chain of command.  If you have a complaint or issue employees will jump their supervisors/managers.       
Best part of the day is going home.
They do not do performance reviews on any of their employees. You never know how you are performing, doing or what you should be concentrating on. Training is “You are on your Own”. Raises are few and far. You have to ask and beg for a raise and if you are approved for a raise it will take months as the “Owner has to approve all and any raises. Good or decent DSD company drivers work long enough to get experience then they find better paying jobs with competitors. Drivers are using hand held equipment from the 1990’s. They constantly break down and are very unreliable. Upper management is very disorganized. Customers/stores are always complaining of poor or lack of service. HR dept is a joke. No one can ever or will ever give you help or direction on any questions you may have on any work related topic. They refer back you to the employee hand book. I can go on but these are the main points.

As delivery driver, my job was very time sensitive, as the majority of my accounts I had to deliver to by a specified time.  In addition, the job was 6 days a week, and I often put in 50-60 hours a week. The problem was that the receivers at many of the accounts didn't care if they were putting you behind on your route. I would often have to drop off orders and return later to work them because of my delivery schedule along with the distance my route territory covered on some days.  The sales rep that preordered my deliveries was where the bulk of the stress I had came from, as he was covering two routes.  As a result, many of my accounts rarely saw him, so I often got the brunt of any issues at stores that he should have been taking care of.  The route supervisor was constantly having to put out fires caused by the sales rep.  Even the simplest of changes to the route often took weeks or months to do.  If you are not bilingual, you're not going to go far in the company.  We would have meetings in which 95% of the meeting was held in Spanish and those of us that only spoke English would get a quick rundown of what was said.

Growing,

hands on leadership and owners that invest back in their employees and company that care,

high employee turn over,
They are constantly improving and are moving forward,
 For competitive success driven people 


I have contributed to the company making revenue by participating in (whatever you do, like monthly meetings, regular production of more than expected work product, offering ideas, asking questions, learning about all aspects of the area in which you are assigned.) You need to volunteer to assist in projects and offer to cover the duties of others if they have to leave unexpectedly - including answering phones if that is something that is allowable in your company. Doing extra work is always noticed and frequently rewarded.

Everyday would be a different company objective even if it was contradicting a prior one.
I learned that you can speak the truth otherwise you would be treated different and in fear for your job.
Management does not care about the employees.
There is no culture, is all for the company and nothing for the employees.
Having to lie to other employees in order to achieve the end results that management wanted.
Nothing enjoyable about being in fear of losing your job for speaking out.
