Peytons Southeastern

What is the best part of working at the company?
Just knowing that after working a long grueling 12 hrs shift (which was supposed to be 10hr shifts) for pay that is substandard at best, with no air conditioning, on a back breaking production rate with management looking over your should, hoping you mess up so they can fire you, oh and, if you are a hard worker you will probably get to do someone else’s job on top of yours, then you get to come in and endure all that the next day.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When your sitting in the parking lot mentally preparing your self before going in due to the stress of knowing you have to go in there to pay your bills and pull a 12hr shift, trying to think of a better way to make money so you know longer have to deal with the stress of that job and the people you have to put up with.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you like drama, back biting, back stabbing, being stressed all the time, in fear of loosing your job over something stupid, while trying to be safe and not harmed by some stupid person on a machine.All while having fake friends. then it will make a great environment for you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Your day starts out at waking up at the crack of dawn or if you work 3rd shift around 4pm(if you don’t have running around to do. You will alway have to get there 30 mins before your shift starts to mentally prepare for your shift, due to the stress and drama and fake people you’re going to have to deal with. Then about. 5mins before top of the hour you walk in dreading every second you’re going to have to endure in there. Once in there you clock in, knowing your trapped there for the next 12 hours(which is supposed to be 10ths, but it never is) oh and don’t forget about the heat wave that smacks you in the face as you walk through the warehouse door.( all the offices are air conditioned for management) if your late clocking in you will get what is called an occurrence- any more than 2 1/2 you will get a warning then any after that and they start putting you on probation for 90 days and 180 days, after you mess up on the 180day violation, they fire you. Depending on what your job is it will be production based which means you will have to complete a certain task with in the time given for said task. If in a weeks time you do not meet their production goals then you get what is called a phase. If you get 4 phases then you may possibly get reassigned to a different job in there BUT if there is no other position available (or they just don’t like you) then they will fire you for not making the production quota. But on the other have chances are you will be cross trained to do other things so then if they have fired someone or someone is out sick you will get to do someone else’s job and not your owe due to them being short handed in that section. Usually, throughout your shift something will come up(drama) of some sort that will inevitably cause you even more stress and you’ll find yourself in the managers office defending yourself trying not to loose your job. So now you made it out of the managers office with your employment still intact, you go back to your job ( which is blistering hot due to no air conditioning) and you finish out your shift, but you can only clock out 7 min to the top of the hour,  but if you get to the clock any earlier then it’s stealing company time and you could be fired for that. So you clock out appropriately and start down the air conditioned hallway, thinking to yourself thank god that is over with, then the realization hits you- you have at least 3more days of that to endure, maybe 4 due to mandatory overtime, cause they are alway short handed because of firing someone. You get in your can to go home and you sit there for a set enjoying the freedom you now have for the next 12 hours and taking a deep breath telling your self you can do this, you can do this. All the while, your actually setting your self up to loose in the end. After reading this, don’t say you wasn’t warned.

I've learned a lot working for Peytons, and the benefits are great. We even have the opportunity to earn a day off with pay for perfect attendance for each quarter. I love working in the receiving office, but with a change in schedule, I am lucky if I see my family once a year. I drive an hour to work, clock in at 5:38 PM and clock out at 5:53 AM, then drive an hour home. It's a 4 day work week, but the schedule they have me on makes me work 5 days in a row, but there is no overtime for that 5th day because it falls between 2 weeks. I do this 4 weeks in a row, and that means I work 4 weekends in a row. Now we even work Thanksgiving, so I can't even be with my family on our big holiday. When I first began, the company really cared about us having time for our families, but now they don't care. And the disparity between the shifts creates unnecessary tension in the work place.

i went to an interview , in the interview i was very specific about that i cant work any other weekend because that when i get my son as per my custody agreement , the interviewer told me that my schedule is set for any other weekend off any cos that's how ot goes there , i was really happy and took the job . 
on my orientation day i talked to my trainers about again just to make sure we are on the same page and they assured me that all was good . at that time i passed on other opportunities, 
after staring going in to my second week i was called to the office and was told that i have to work and my off sunday and that's when i have my kid , i don't have a babysitter and i really have no one to help me with that , they did not care at all and i had to give up on that day with my son and i was told that its going to happen again . it gave me a lot of stress about me not seeing my kid at all maybe . 

they are liars , the management i really don't care about you and 80 % of their employers do not even speak english so it was so hard to communicate with people

decent pay but you're literally worked to death for 12 hours a day 7 days a week and there is nothing you can do about it since you're forced in 3 days out of the week so just be prepared to work 6-7 days a week for 12 hours a day. The work is incredibly difficult to almost impossible to make your production for the day since you never get the down time you deserve, their system is constantly going down multiple times a day which you won't get your down time for, affecting your incentive. they claim to be all about safety but there's never supervisors on the floor enforcing the rules which results in at least 2 people getting hurt a week and/or breaking limbs. there's a problem when you bring in all these new young employees but nobody can make their percentage. The turnover rate is incredibly high due to how unfair the work conditions are and how difficult and long the hours are.  

A typical day at work is finding out how many items needed to be picked and shipped out before the ending of the shift and each employee has a specific number of items needed to be picked and packed and shipped out , and I've learned how to act as a safety coordinator and how to drive multiple fork lift machines . The management at Peyton's for the most part are pretty laid back to my opinion if you are hitting your daily percentage of 100% . The co-workers at the job tend to change on a weekly basis Peyton's has a very high turn over rate so its rare that you see the same faces after a few months time due to the jobs expectations. The hardest part of the job is to stay up 12 hrs a day during the night shift running throughout the warehouse trying to hit you percent, and the most enjoyable part of the job is that you can get unlimited overtime for the most part on any given week if you need the extra cash.

Work 6 to 7 days a week, no work/life balance. Do not give heat breaks like they should. They say open door policy, but they don't want to hear any complaints. Favoritism runs rampant. It is hard to advance and they already have their picks which are family. They don't take time to train you like they should. Best part of the job you get a regular yearly raise but incentive pay is deceptive and not what they make it seem. Hardest part of job is another outside company brings in pickers. They don't have the same rules as Peyton's pickers. They can do whatever they want so it is hard to make production with them getting in your way or taking their time. I would not recommend working here! Their turnover rate is so high, not managed well.

Peyton’s is known for the worse place to work in Cleveland . I wouldn’t recommend working here to anyone! Lots of favoritism and if you’re not one of our lead coordinators favorites workers  you  get treated bad and wrote up so many people in and out. Also no hours. They are always making changes so nothing is set in stone. Absolutely not family friendly. We have maybe one or two current coordinators over us that treats us with respect and cares but because these coordinators actually care  they won’t give them a chance at moving up They want management team to be mean and rude to the workers. Not listen to concerns . Poor management team. Low morale. And  no respect or understanding the workers this is why they hire so many and they turn around and walk out.  

To start out the day we would clock in with fingerprint recognition scanners, which I thought was pretty cool. Then the beginning of the day meeting and stretching for the job. For the most part the job was like playing 3-d tetris; stacking boxes of different shapes, sizes, and weights. It was difficult to get down pact at first, but very enjoyable after. I suppose the hardest part of this job would be keeping the stack from falling while running the pallet jack, or reaching 100% every night. All in all I loved working this job and would have continued to work there if there would have been different living arrangements.

I can only speak on my experience. So with this said. Peyton's is actually a decent place to work however, If you apply you need to be prepared to be like the Flash this is piece work meaning you job is based on your production rate. By the end of your probationary period you are expected to be at 100 percent. When it comes to their safety well I will say they could do better. For personally the job was not a good fit I'm a Tradesman I just took Peyton's until I got back into what I'm skilled in. It's a decent job but it's super,super,super fast pace and if you don't bring your A-game well, you won't have a job.

People are great but forced overtime every week makes it impossible to plan anything. Also your incentive pay kicks in around 80 percent but you're required to hit 100 every single week you're there which is near impossible because the aisles are so crowded with machines flying in and out and everyone gets in your way every two seconds. They tell you write it down as downtime but then don't believe the absurd amount of downtime that you'll actually have. Everyone there is (understandably) stressed and or rageful when someone gets in there way because the 100 percent standard is so hard to hit.
