A typical day at work is a journey into the unknown. Every day you walk into a mess left behind by the previous shift. Upper management is completely clueless and has no idea of how to run a warehouse.  Middle management is filled with pencil pushers that have bachelor’s degrees, but have no actual experience or knowledge in a warehouse setting, but they have plenty of “new ideas,” and, “concepts,” that make the job harder for the employees to complete and are totally inefficient. Middle management is so ineffective that the company recently laid off several of them. 

The lower managers/supervisors are pretty good for the most part. They help get the tasks accomplished and they are able to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of their employees. Unfortunately, these supervisors are mistreated by upper management and are usually fired without cause. 

As for the employee experience. Every single employee in every department is paid below industry standards. There is absolutely no upward mobility and there is no praise or appreciation for a job well done. They also recently amended their point-system that no longer allows for things such as initial hospitalizations (you get a point for missing the first day of work for being admitted to the hospital), DFW traffic conditions, or even family emergencies. 

As for the actual jobs, the work is repetitive and there is a lot of standing on the production side. None of the tasks are too complex. The maintenance department is asked to work miracles on machines that need replacing. The shipping and receiving department is severely understaffed and employees are often forced to work out of position or complete the work of two or three people without any additional compensation. 

The company has unclear hiring procedures. Some people are hired on through the company on day one and others are hired on through a temporary service. It’s really just luck of the draw and not even based on qualifications or work experience. 

Overall, if you can tolerate being underpaid and overworked, the job is ok.



You get to work, clock in, and report to your designated area for a meeting but on our shift there is no meeting.  They assign you to a machine and that's where you are all day whether you have been trained for that job or not and you aren't trained for the job. None of the zone leads you are assigned to know how to do any of the jobs. If you need an emergency restroom break good luck! If you mess up the job no one trained you to do you will probably get written up.
If you are lucky enough to learn how to do jobs off the assembly line don't expect it to go anywhere. They do not promote from within and they do not like to give pay raises. If you have a strong work ethic, they will use you.
Do you like having two days off? You only get one day off. 
There is no work life balance so be prepared to never see your family. 
Aside from poor management, your coworkers will be the only enjoyable part of your day until it's time to clock out. 
There are no sick days. If you call out because you are sick, that's 1.5 points. If you leave early and the supervisor isn't cool, that's a point. It takes forever to work off those points.


In an organization, the employer and the employees are bound by the regulation that enforces the health and the safety of the working place. In it, every player in the warehouses has the responsibility and duties to take care off in prevention of the risk that may arise. The employer has the responsibility of maintaining health, safety and the welfare of the employees. This is in the provision of health and safety policies, safety equipment and training of the staffs.
Talking of the employees, they have duties of ensuring the safety equipment are provided with the training on safety of how to handle machines. They have an obligation of reporting unsafe practice in the warehouse and not misusing of the safety equipment. The duties of the manufacturer are to ensure the safety of the product. This is on their use and also their environment. The machines should fit on the purpose they are intended for the efficiency and reducing the chances of risk. i worked here for a while and the whole ppe deal is not ideal, apply elsewhere for your own safety.

My experience working here was extremely disappointing. There is no real leadership or accountability, and management consistently avoids taking responsibility for anything. Instead of addressing issues or supporting the team, they tend to dump extra responsibilities onto the few competent employees, which leads to burnout and frustration.

The work environment is unbalanced and poorly managed. The culture is outdated, dismissive, and not supportive of growth or basic respect in the workplace.

If you are considering working here, I sincerely recommend you reconsider. There are far better environments where your time, skills, and effort will actually be valued.

Collection activity on an account portfolio of 300+ customers. Processing and issuing credits. Working with various departments in resolving customer issues with payment.

Ongoing learning and developing process with Oracle, Excel, JD Edwards, etc . . .

Management has very little supervision over the clerks. Clerks are independent and work closely with their own customers.

Co-Workers work together as a team and positive attitude toward our common goals and deadlines.

The hardest part of the job is the dependency on other departments when trying to resolve an issue.

I enjoy the journey when reaching a goal that has been set by upper management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Will sometimes very fast past and sharp thinking dealing with a lot of things at one time

DAILY Team MeetingS usually no interaction since there's a huge language barrier throughout the company various presses or machines and won't know who is where unless checking a sheet of paper Team lead only walks around giving thumbs up to see if your at your press then appear again at the last 30 minutes of the shift no Team spirit in helping those who may be behind on multiple parts after coming to a press or machine that may not be stocked properly or at all then a relief person will appear late for breaks but leave early causing behind parts to catch back on since the presses have been calibrated to operate faster depending if its operating properly 

This place used to be decent to work at. Now it has turned into a circus and it’s not worth even thinking about working here! The culture is terrible, they talk out of both sides of their mouth and is filthy. Oil leaks all over everything and everywhere. Management only fixes things when someone gets hurt. They hire pile and they quit before lunch on the first day.

You’ll do the same job over multiple times because they don’t know what they want. They try to hire you for pennies if you don’t know your worth. People that have been there 20-35 years want to quit and regret staying as long as they have stayed. I stayed just over 2 years and I’m that time it nose dived in a hurry!

its an alright place to work at but I just wish the pay wasmt so low..but its a really chill place iont really bave anything bad to say about it other than it be smokey in there and if u stay in there to long it might get a little hard to breath at the machines in there that get smokey every now and then. So really in hindsight I really wouldn't recommend anybody going there.. Just for the sake of there health
