This company doesn't know what they are doing at all. They over work you everyday. You put in more than 50 hours a week , every week they want you to work a Saturday. We are so stress out there have no help at all they only care about certain account there heck with the other account were at. The pay isnt worth what they put you through and the medical benefit a total joke not worth getting. You better off without it. They give you sick days you cant use as it says in handbook...you have to brown nose to get any where in there, if you brown nose you fit in you can do what you want, they are too many bosses telling you want to do, you just dont know what to do when your busy doing your job in your  account you are in. Your lead in your area wont stick up for you at all the manager there a young man that so lost he doesn't know how to run the whole  warehouse with all these accounts.  You should only have one lead tell you want to do in that certain account only not others leads from other accounts.  Too many bosses not enough help. It not worth the stress and you dont have a home life at all there....

I started a half hour early usually 7:30am so I could have time without the phone ringing and answer some of my emails. I would pull my spread sheets up per customer and review if anything was coming due or late. I would review my updates and chase any parts if I had to by making calls to purchasing or supplier or secondary process vendors. I would check purchasing confirmations to ensure my parts would be on time. I would have a meeting in the am with my colleagues on any issues or updates. My email would be checked for urgent requests first. I would make calls to my customers. I would enter normal orders in the system. Anything urgent I would expedite and confirm the delivery dates with the customer. I would do some cold calling and pursue any future business.

1st started there, it was nice.But then management changed and it was bad. Doesnt matter how hard you work or how dedicated you are,if they dont like you,they will make any excuse to get rid of you. Had absolutely no problems until the management and leads were switched around.Nothing but friction and problems after that.They also switched to a slower, more inefficient system but yet expected the same level of production without negative opinions of the "upgraded" system.They moved one supervisor to 1st and he ended up causing several good workers to leave.You have people that are dedicated and hard working being penalized and ran out the door while others spend their days walking around, hanging out on their phones, having numerous non work conversations, basically doing nothing.

I was fired after 4 years at this company for requesting 1 week vacation out of state 6 months ahead of time but being denied of it a week before I was going out of state they said that I would be pointed if I did not show and I didn't show up because I had given them ample time and everything was paid and book for in advance so I would've be out like a thousand dollars so I came back from vacation and got pointed out and fired management would not work with me and neither would the higher ups don't work here its awful.

Love this place literally, keeps me on my toes & keeps my brain function growing in a positive way,  love being challenged every single second of every single day. Just use the DATA in front of you, RAISE your hand for help if needed & you will be successful in Every Little Thing. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poor planning, management keep changing directions 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unrealistic expectations of deliverables with poor support of leadership 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, supportive, pays a lot of attention to details, but would ignore material subject matter. Leadership will only want to handle easy tasks and leave difficult tasks to staff

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meetings occasionally in the morning time, and work on projects in the afternoon and night, have to always be available to answer managers questions

A team of great people and a strong focus on sales-oriented leadership. However, this emphasis on sales often came at the expense of quality, with operational efficiency taking a back seat. Despite facing ongoing challenges in the supply chain, there was a noticeable lack of drive to address root issues. The absence of automation across 20+ warehouses presented significant obstacles, resulting in highly manual operations. Additionally, there seemed to be a culture of favoritism within leadership, with some individuals holding positions for over 20 years, potentially hindering innovation and progress within the company.

Management is a joke , only way to advance is to be a puppet , if u speak up on something u have a target on ur back , point system is a joke , sick days are a joke because you get a point everytime one is used , very strict environment , and your basically caged in that building , locked gates and all , pointless meetings every week , and the plant manager is a moron that knows nothing about heading , I worked there for 15 yrs , I seen I get bought out 3 times and right now is the worst it's ever been , plant manager looks like older stewie from family guy , and the other manager looks like he belongs in a Harry Potter movie

Started as a positive company headed into a favorable direction.  With new management focusing on standards and lack of knowledge in manufacturing and in regards to new hires, the company is unstable and losing many accounts.  Constant change and no advancement.  New processes in place and finding daily workloads diminishing.

The best thing about working at Optimas was the job in its entirety and the staff while the company was still Anixter.

The company has lots of great people and opportunity to grow and succeed. It takes great people with the right attitude to pull together. Some are not getting the message or cannot change along with the direction.

Leadership team is very qualified and has set the right direction. Now everyone is transforming into a global team to get there. It's exhilarating and individuals with skills find plenty of ways to make a big impact.
