What is the best part of working at the company?
There weren’t a lot of positives. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some days you would go in your order would not be correct. The trucks were completely garbage. Something was always wrong. If it was the windshield if it was the liftgate on the back, the list goes on and on. The stores would get angry at you for things the company did that you had no control over and of course you had to just take it instead of sticking up for yourself. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was actually pretty chill because you’re working by yourself usually but sometimes the stores can make it seem hostile. The route I was on was not a great route and there was probably over 10 drivers over the past two years for the route because it was such a bad route. The other people that worked for the company were all right, but they were all trying to get out at the same time. The manager, I can’t really say too many bad things about. But he did act like it was an inconvenience to have to manage and I thought that was ridiculous. Yes if we need to call you at 3 AM because the truck is not starting then you should answer the phone. But I digress I am glad I do not work there anymore. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is you arrive around three to 3:30 AM and work your entire route. Some people with their route will take 12 hours some people the route will take eight hours. It just depends on how hard you work.

A typical day at work is pretty simple, I help package bread and make sure treys are moving on the conveyor belt. I’ve learned how bread is made and the machines required to produce, process, and ship bread as well as how to manage them. Management can be harsh at times but they’re usually friendly and helpful. The workplace culture is pretty diverse lots of various races and ethnicities there and I haven’t seen or experienced any discrimination. The hardest part of the job is the schedule, I’m having trouble finding a good work-life balance as it feels like I’m working 6 days a week. Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays are from 1am-9am; Friday is from 8pm-5am going into Saturday, leaving Monday as your only true off day. The relief system is also hard to deal with as you may not clock out until your relief has arrived to the area and if they are not able to make it to work or call out you must work a mandatory 12 hour shift. You also cannot call out more than 3 times a years or you will be terminated. The most enjoyable part of the job is when the machines are running smoothly you don’t have to put in as much work.

Have worked here more than 6 months and you never know when you will get off work they do not train you supervisors and techs will dog you and run you into the ground. They will change your schedule or the shift you work on without any notice. This is a company that expects you to revolve your entire life around it. There is no time for family friends or a life of your own. Not a job for someone with children or who wants a personal life. Actual chance of advancement is extremely slim. And pay looks good until you are actually working here and realize exactly how underpaid you are. They are quick to lie and make false promises. Some areas are clean while others are filthy. Only good thing weekly pay benefits and you get overtime, more than what you may possibly want. Personnel outsource is friendly and helpful but flowers is not a good place to work especially if you have a family. People constantly quit because of the way they are treated.

Great place to work if you enjoy being overworked and undervalued. They truly don’t care about you. They make you feel guilty if you don’t stay 12 hours everyday and come in on your days off. Management and workers argue. People fight. Extremely hot in the summers, freezing in the winters. Back breaking work. You’ll get hurt here eventually. It’s impossible not too. Moving stacks around on 2 wheel dollies they call wheelers that weight 200+ pounds for 12 hours a day. Completely impossible expectations because they never stop sending you product on the lines coming from production as well as inbound trailers and lack of staff so you sometimes run lines and do inbound trailers. No matter how hard you work it will never be enough because the culture is completely toxic. You will either get sick of the job and quit or get injured and not be able to work. If you need money quickly take advantage of the overtime work a few months then leave because they will take advantage of you here too.

Interesting combination of an employment agency and full-time, direct-hire provider.  Working as a Site Manager for a bakery was great!  Working close with the bakery's H.R. department was a real blessing.

The employees of Personnel Outsource Solutions are very dedicated, hard-working people.  There is much room to grow in H.R. generalist knowledge, skills and abilities.

It is important to be a people person who can work with all kinds of employees and not be shy to tell them like it is.

The Site Manager is a liaison between Personnel Outsource Solutions and bakery management.

Typical day of work consists of loading/unloading your truck with stacks of bread.  Also boxes of tastykake products.  You need to be there by 2-3am and you’ll be out 10-12 hours a day stocking/pulling stales/inventory with a handheld.  Work days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  You’re guaranteed 40-60 hours a week.  
I have learned a little bit since I worked here.  
The management at this place is horrible
Hardest part of the job is having to deal with the poor management and co-workers.
There’s honestly nothing I can comment that’s enjoyable about working here.  


The position of warehouse shipper for flowers is a joke. Most unorganized operation ever!!!! You are told that your shipment to be received and separated arrives on a routine schedule each night, but it never does!! You are basically on call all the time and you don't get on call pay! Their pay per tray is a scam. At .057 cents a tray it's def not worth the work load, overnight to early a.m. inconsistent work hours, and just overall aggravation. The gross pay is not consistent and def not close to what you told you will gross on a weekly basis!! Overall shady operations!!!!

Poor management, tricky schedule, fast demanding alot of physical work, never teamwork, they  love to gossip about you, quick to tell on you, no polite people, lack of training, they will stick you anywhere in the plant to work there. Very hot place, not clear on attendees

Management and supervisor are not on the same page.
The job wasn't anything like they said in the interview and the start time varies which I didn't find out until the day of the job. The job can be dangerous too and training, well that was supposed to be done by a supervisor instead it was the truck driver and he was on a schedule and rushing to get done which made it stressful. Don't waste your time with this.

This place barely trains you, they just throw you out there and expect you to know everything so you're just standing around looking crazy. The people that know everything about training and know what they're doing, doesn't want to help you. Personnel is great! But as for flowers.. No I wouldn't recommend. The pay is good, but they fail to realize some people have families to tend to, you don't just exactly get off the time your supposed to.
