Par-Logistics

At Par Logistics, my day started early, working the 6:00-14:00 shift. Being a 24-hour facility, I always began where another co-worker left off. When I worked in the tracking dept., I worked side-by-side with two other young ladies and together we formed one well-oiled machine. We effectively distributed the responsibilities so that everybody's workload remained equal. I called truck drivers, then noted and reported their load information to my customers. I learned to keep a professional attitude at all times and that kindness goes a long way in the trucking industry. In the billing dept., I learned to be forward and persistent when collecting and processing payments. What I found to be most difficult was encountering drivers and carries that did not want to comply with our rules. On the other hand, this was also very enjoyable because it was extremely satisfying when I found a solution and solved the problem. While focusing on making a profit with each load and reporting details as accurately and prompt as possible, the office remained up-beat and an enjoyable place to work.

This place is a horrible working environment, its an office setting, very small, The owner of the company and the only office manager as well as the only secretary decide to get drunk at the bar at around 10am in the middle of  the work day ( which is often, leaving only 3 people to work an entire shipping company, cause as we all know 3 is better 6) and when they loudly stumble into the office around 8pm, seeing how things have been going all day, you wonder how this place hasn't gone under. Everybody at best is a temporary employee, By that I mean if  they come back with a waitress/bartender, chances are that's the newest employee( and maybe a secret girlfriend), which means someone has to go, so don't ever mess up, cause it could be you. If you ever think about working here. DON'T, its not worth it as much as it may seem cool, it's not. overly demanding cause half the employees are getting drunk, it's a very junior high "clicky" kinda place, Real bullsh#t. too many more to name, hope you found this helpful.

If you are not a part of the "Family" good luck.  They don't treat the staff well.  Time off is not up to standrd for what it should be.  They have a foosball table they show and like to make it seem fun, but it is not light hearted once you start.  They fired my trainer for focusing too much on work within a month of hire.  Half of the office is hooking up with other people there.   Upper management is more focused on going to the bar then showing up.  

Make sure this is an idustry you want to be in before starting.

Lying to customers is not what I signed up for.

Was not told prior to employment that I would have to work Saturdays on occasion.

If you are willing to stick it out, you will go far. Not for the faint of heart.

Not much to say about this one.  I came from a job that lacked alot of challenges. I probably jumped in on this one without thinking.  I like learning and gaining knowledge and experience.  This job just didn't give me the opportunity for that

Fast paced environment in logistics that allows you to balance email, phone work, and project works all in one. Calling drivers and customers to ensure shipment arrives on time.

This company will work with you through most problems and are genuinely concerned with your well being, they expect a work performance that meets the job capabilities, they are fair in their pay for the work you perform.
