Pasha Group

After having left Pasha a few years ago and being able to work with a stable Fortune 200 company the past few years, I figured I would off my honest input to how I viewed Pasha. This is just one person's view which I hope if you've been given an offer or plan to apply will offer you some general insight into Pasha.


They have a bloated management team that all seem to dislike each other, which in turn makes everything turn into a bureaucratic nightmare. To be promoted it has nothing to do with how well you know your position or how well you adapt to changes. 75% of the management team will are not looking to be there long-term and don't have a vested interest in the company. Sadly there is also a lot of middle management employees who don't have the experience for the various shipping divisions they manage. 

 Another time they brought in USC consulting to help streamline processes. USC did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary as far as improving processes, except make positions more tedious then should of have been. When I left 18 months ago no one was using the processes USC put in place because they were redundant and beyond elementary. Then USC Consulting felt many employees were of no use to Pasha, after a 2-5 minutes interview with employee on their job ops. After several months Pasha had to hire back 35% of those employees they laid off and paid severeness to because several employees were essential to daily ops and reports.

A lot of 10+ year employees left the company out of frustration after they had brought in a new management group and to only fire the group after 6 months. The last 3 years I was there I should have left as it was a complete waste of time, but the economy was not back in swing.

They're a decent place to work if you want to learn about freight logistics, but do not plan to go far in the company as most of the management and executive positions are outside candidates who come in every year and make more redundant changes that don't need to be made---but new managers need to feel like they have to do something. It's human nature and expected. 

The pay is borderline below average with benefits being average. Most people never receive raises except for cost of living at 3-5% of your salary.

The minions, or people on the floor are a mix-mash of know-it-alls and sadists who were likely bullies in grade school. They love to pull you in and talk about other employee's personal problems or political views. Not everyone is like that, but most are. 

The ratio of men and women is more women. Mostly older women who seem to be beat down in life as they don't really take care of themselves in a standard procedure for your typical office enviroment. The Corte Madera is little better than the Reno office, but not by much. The Reno office is on par with Reno 911 in dress, mentality, and intelligence. 

If this was a public company they'd of been purchased in the Pink Sheets a few years back, if they could even command a penny a share.

Before 2009 they were an incredible company to work for. It was only when they brought in a new management team that had the ear of the CEO. The Pasha's, from my experience are great people and knew the importance of everyone on their staff. Too bad they get bad info from a management team that is only looking to make the other managers and VP's to look bad. 

Their best team members and management all left a few years back. They run mostly temporary positions and those temp positions rarely lead to a permanent hire unless you've worked there a year as a temp.

The worst part, which I only found out after I left was majority of the management team does not want to lose good employees and will make sure you do not get promoted or transfer out of your division. The nepotism of  family members work there in every position gets extremely awkward and creates division among employees.

I wish nothing but the best for this small family company, but they took a wrong turn several years back and from speaking to many other ex-employees it's never been the same. Don't let this post discourage you if you get offered a position. The executive team is a great group of people. They just need to get rid of about 50% of the bloated VP's, do drug tests on some of the people on the floor, and other quit making promotional promises they can't keep.

I understand there's also a new GM in the Reno office and he's well liked. I wouldn't be surprised if he's quit by now.

Depending on the position you were working a typical day at work  could consist of placing metal plates in between rail cars, processing cars, or loading cars onto trains. I learned the process of importing and exporting vehicles. The management at pasha was lacking, employees would often find themselves rushing or just sitting around because of lack of planning and organization. The culture at pasha was great most employees were friends and at some moments it felt like you were a part of a family. The hardest part of the job would have to be the weather, often i would find myself freezing because of the rain and low temperature. The most enjoyable part of the job was the bus ride we took in between trips to load onto the train.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The culture is the best part of working at Pasha it is very team oriented everyone looks out for each other. There is great leadership and I feel I have learned a lot from the experience.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some OEMs are difficult sometimes and can make it challenging at times.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Team Oriented 
Family 
Very supportive 
There are birthday celebrations and celebratory bbqs when we meet objectives

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day includes inventory management,reporting, and meetings in the morning. Arrivals of new cargo in the afternoon and responding the client requests throughout the day.

While it is repetitive work that comes with most data entry jobs, there seemed to be a lack of consensus on small things like how much time lunch break can be (30 min and two 15 min breaks vs 1 hr lunch and no breaks), the fact that after peak season a need for workers dies down tremendously implies that they don't really look for permanent employees and that it's not really a good place to temp at. It's a small company with great workers, but boasting the size of the registration team to the CEO only for it to die down months late is a weird ego stroke. There's a weird work environment where there's a high value placed on full-time employees and then it feels like temps have to do the very most in order to get recognized, but maybe that's just me.

This was hands down the best job I have ever had. The atmosphere was relaxed and you are so busy the day flies by so fast. Your co-workers are personable and friendly and everyone was always so awesome and helpful if you had any questions. I've met the owner and he is really down to earth. All of the supervisors and managers really consider your needs and understand when things happen. You are treated more like family than anything and I loved working there. The only reason I left was because I moved back home to Arizona and they don't have an office here. I love Pasha and loved my group in Over high and wide. Best co-workers and had the best manager. <3

I've worked for some great companies over my career, but the best of these is The Pasha Group. I have to give them this rating because that is exactly what they are. This is a family owned business that treats its employees just like that as members of the family. The pay and benefits are among the best in the area. You'll find co-workers and colleagues to be friendly, outgoing and above all, very supportive. Managers work with you and go out of the way to remove obstacles to make sure you have the tools to succeed. They want you to succeed and what's more, you'll want to succeed. This is one of those rare places where you will WANT to go the extra mile. I encourage you to find out for yourself. Join the team. There will be no regrets.

Controller and supervisor very unfair to employees. Example: When I started nobody told me what and how to do my job. After one year the controller yelled at me why I am not doing what he likes me to do.
Other example: I developed excel spreadsheets for my work. When the supervisor started to work in the company I told her everything what I am doing and how I am doing it. She then sold my good ideas to the controller as her ideas, even the controller knew that I developed this spreadsheets.
The others working in the department had to suffer the same treatment, but the others were wonderful to work with.

The Pasha Group has been a family-owned company since 1947 and has cultivated over the last 65 years a culture of hard-working employees who care for each other and laugh together. The stability of this long-running company provides the security that employees and their families need during these recent years of economic instability. Our work days are often long, but the employee community is intelligent, kind-hearted and humorous; both the compensation levels and good quality people make the long days worthwhile.

Cliques galore, they do not like older workers, they gossip and play games.  Not a good work environment unless you are a masochist.
It could be a really cool, fun place to work if you got rid of the people that are simply awful people at heart.  They do not have any respect for people and play games with people's lives.  I saw them get rid of people without giving them a chance and keep the ones that sucked up to them.
I only wish that corporate would've given exit interviews, then they may have gotten a better idea of how horrible this place really is.
Oh, and the pay sucks.


What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s like working your family. When you spend so much time with the same people daily and sit so close to one another having a good attitude is a must. We also have good working ethics too!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
With my position I cannot recall any moment where I would consider it a stressful situation. Especially when you have people willing to lend a helping hand.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My work duties are repetitive with some variation but I have my rhythms so it gets the work done.
