Page Transportation & Page E.T.C.

If you like getting your money on time, then don't ever work for Page. There's always an excuse to why your check is wrong. If their not blaming it on a terminal manager/dispatcher then you didn't do it. Even though you completed your loads. Poor upper management. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. NY management changes pay and rates without letting drivers know. Like others have said. Its a circus. Go in early and get the job completed but don't receive compensations for the extra hours worked. Too many chiefs in the corporate office and not enough Indians. Benefits are the highest I've ever seen. $275.00 per week, that's right per week. then you have a $12,000.00 deductible before your insurance ever pays a dime. They sale you this load of goods by saying, oh we give you a $1700 Visa card to pay for your office visits and ect. Then it never works. then your stuck with the medical bills. You call the corp office and speak with someone. "oh I'm not sure I'll call you right back" Call never comes. Worst company I've worked for in 46 years. STAY FAR AWAY. They have you drive all the way to up state NY to watch a few videos for orientation. Then they don't pay you for the time it takes to get there. Bunch of Bull aways. They'll pay you for 24 hours for orientation even if you have 36 hours in to be paid for. This is a company policy.

Page Transportation started out well and I think would have been better off in a different department. However I was placed in the billing department and it is nothing but a high school setting, 20 women crammed in one room without any cubicles in between. The manager was the ring leader and if you were not considered one of the "popular people" flying under her radar, you were harassed and shamed. No matter how good you were at your job, it did not matter. Lies were made up in ways you couldn't possibly imagine just to get you out the door. It worked, they made up a great lie to get me out the door at 6 months pregnant, ironically just after I had announced I will be taking the full 12 week maternity leave and was inquiring about the FMLA. They did me a favor, never have I worked in such an awful, stressful work environment. I know of a few people are still there and still fighting to keep their job by the skin of their teeth. and I feel awful for them. I do not recommend working here at all, especially if it is in the billing/accounting department as there are 2 females who do everything in the power to sabotage your job, no matter how much you need it or how goo you are at it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The money when there’s work. They hire more people than there’s work for

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Waiting every day to hear if there is work the next day. I found out daily if I had work for the next day

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They set policy’s the don’t believe in. They preach safety but know that there are unsafe practices when it comes to dump trailers

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typically I was left alone to do my job and if I broke down, I wasn’t paid hourly until after being broke down for two hours. After that I was able to be paid hourly. We are paid by the load or ton

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no good part about working at Page

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You can’t perform your job you were hired for, they expect you to accounts payable when you’re the parts manager.  Everything you suggest to improve the work environment, you’re talking on deaf ears. I would not recommend Page Trucking.  Revolving door.  Horrible work conditions. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible.  Management don’t care about the employees.  They just like to go on vacation.  With your raises that they froze. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Horrible every minute.  Hated to go in to work as many others do as well.

I was a terminal manager and I was let go by email. They didn’t have the respect or guts to even call. Then after they let me go they slandered me to all the drivers that worked for me. Page was a great place to work until they hired the new General Manager and then the culture went for caring about the employees and drivers to throwing them under the bus and only caring about screwing them. I had a surgery scheduled 3 days from the day they terminated me and they canceled all my insurance so I had to pay out of pocket.

The otr for Paige I can't comment on but the novelis contract through page is a joke. High turnover leaving employees to pick up the slack. Forced pto even when you request unpaid time off. It could be a very good job keeping you in shape if you didn't have 4 guys doing a 7 man crews job. absolutely no recognition from higher ups not to mention limited to no supply on ppe like gloves and glasses. Your a guaranteed cash cow nothing more. Your not even a number. The only positive about the job is the 3 and 4 day work week giving you decient time off but for the work output the pay isn't equal. 

Over the last five years there has been a lot of change - the owners and managers are consistently trying to understand and improve processes, problems and employee challenges.  Sometimes it goes really well and others times it takes several tries to get it right.
The new building certainly helps and hopefully the positive incremental changes will continue.
As an owner/manager myself - I try to realistically look at the things we do poorly and how we can improve to be a better company for everyone.

What I learned is

* Executive management only cares about the bottom dollar. 
* Every opportunity is taken to write people up to reduce paying out the profit share benefit.
* Employee handbook is one-sided. Example: you are expected to stay until job is complete. However, when you have Dr appt, you must use PTO. No flex time and don't expect a thank you.
* Get ready to be berated and it is more fun with an audience.
* Give notice, expect to be walked to the door immediately.
* Barely pays more than unemployment.

Dispatchers are given company phones and a decent salary; little do you know that your life will never be the same.  24/7 on-call responsibilities with no compensation for numerous overtime hours. If one does the math, you are lucky to be paid minimum wage.  Good benefits are a plus!  New York is the home office and most decisions are made from those that are far removed from the day to day work. Extremely stressful work coupled with unrealistic expectations is a perfect recipe for excessive alcohol consumption.
