PACE Supply Corp.

The people are a good bunch.  I started entry-level, which frankly is a killing ground.  All new hires are brought in through a temp agency.  It is hard work with extended mandatory overtime.  Hopefully, you don't start in summer as it is exceedingly busy and you will have an even harder time of it.  If you shine, you'll be fine.  If you make the right friends, you'll be fine.  There's a reason you were hired as a temp otherwise.  There is a perceived hierarchy within the warehouse positions you will quickly figure out.  Move up asap.  Eventually, you will get to the front counter.  Shine here, and you will be presented at some point with the option of a supervisor role within the Warehouse or a salesperson within Corporate.  They consider everyone working within an office space to be a Corporate employee.  If you are hired from the warehouse and aren't someone's son, son-in-law, or other relatives, you're actually in an unspoken CorporateLite position.  You will get paid less than someone hired from without the company or from nepotism.  You will get training, but only to do your current duties better.  You will stay at this position.  Any higher position will be brought into the company from outside the ranks, as Pace would rather buy talent at cut-rate than invest in their own. Interestingly the company pledge once contained phrasing that included "success" and "education" of its employees.  It just promises happiness now. Make of that what you will. 

Been here almost 6 months in my experience the work is very challenging very fast pace. Employees for the most part are good. But there are quite a few toxic individuals who bring down the mood of the workplace. A lot of favoritism and tribalism Between departments. A lot of gossiping backstabbing. Lack of overall cooperation and willingness to help. Dealing with rude customers and rude coworkers is a very negative aspect of this job. Favoritism definitely happens and clear lack of Direction as far as the growth of employees. It matters who you know who you're friends with not based on your work ethic and your desire to go a forward. Some employees are known to be rude to customers and co-workers and nothing ever changes even though management is aware of these problem people. There are some bright spots depending on which location you are in. But the few bad apples can ruin the barrel. They also seem to have a high turnover rate due to their lack of respect for work-life balance and forcing people to stay later than the hours they signed up for. It is definitely a good old boys club if you know what that means

PACE Supply is filled with nepotism, favoritism, and "Good Old Boy" leadership. 

The leadership is set in their ways and very resistant to change, to growth, to try something new, or explore new technologies. 

Old antiquated or new and misused systems are the norm. Turnover is high not due to wages, but to lack of willing to try anything new. 

Most of the leaders are newer and are trying to duplicate what they practiced at their last employer. The danger is that it doesn't fit with the growth plans that PACE should be following. 

With the domino retirement of most of the original founders, there is some uncertainty in the solvency of the ESOP.  

The pay for most corporate roles is fair. The pay for the warehouse teams is terrible. While the company does afford the opportunity to grow your career, it starves out workers who are wanting to grow. 

Remote work is frowned on and positions are at risk who are currently remote...Just another example of leadership stuck in old ways and using their personal experience to limit the growth of the business. 

Working as an order picker in a Pace warehouse is extremely stressful at times. There were many occasions where we had to stay several hours after our scheduled time to be off to finish orders as the salespeople all went home by 3 or 4 in the afternoon, having made the company a bunch of money without a thought to how staffed the warehouse is.
The pay was only a bit above minimum wage, and didn't reflect the dangerous and strenuous nature of the job, but the benefits were pretty good, with automatic stock in the company after a year or so I think, as well as good medical. Management was pretty great overall, too, they did the best they could with what they had. 
There was a lot of unsolved conflict within the "team" in general, however. There were a lot of different people who didn't like each other, cliques, and just childish things like that.

Pace as company is good,, I dont have any issues there. for me the branch location I worked out, the workers, good people. I just grew to very much have a uneasy dissatisfied nature with the way things are ran and management. Sort treat you as you're lower than them, self serving and no regards on building a team culture. Texting and calls late night, for schedule changes that werent about coming in earlier but later, even when on vacation. Supervisor not engaged with helping employees grow to better everything but just to better himself and the job for him. Disrespected on a daily level. SO it was these events and mindsets that made me want to look elsewhere and move on

What is the best part of working at the company?
The environment made it a very comfortable and safe place while keeping up with productivity for customers demand. Great management team.

There wasn't anything stressful about the company. Stress depends on the team member but isn't encouraged 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Dependable productivity, safe and friendly oriented work environment

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Self Motivated, optimistic and encouraging with fellow team members

High volume and high traffic store for anything plumbing or fire safety. Process and pull customer orders, efficiently and precise. Load customer vehicles with product and goods. Poor communication however with management. Fellow employees inside warehouse are helpful and friendly. However, fellow employees within the inside sales office aren't team players. The hardest part of the job certainly has to be working with the elements [weather] I did however enjoy the ability to work overtime and building relationships with customers and fellow warehouseman

I have been with the company for years and just like any other company it has its ups and downs but it has been an amazing company for me. There is plenty of options for growth within the company and able to do so fairly quickly. The people can be truly amazing. Our hr team is always amazing and there for you if needed. They are very understanding when it comes to unpredictable situations and are willing to work with you. You have options for cross training through departments if you want to try something different. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Gaining friends and experience. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being written off when bringing up legitimate issues. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Insecure middle management promotes inept people who don't pose a threat. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dealing with asinine procedures and having to deal with the backlash of screwing over customers.

The so called “ company policies” differ from customer to customer. The management is condescending  and unsupportive.  The assistant credit manager lacks communication skills and gives conflicting instructions. She does not know how to give clear and concise instructions.  The company itself has good benefits. The management in this department needs revamping.
