Poor management that has no structure. Hiring is another issue they are hiring people for the wrong jobs. Management is so disengaged. Training for positions is poorly done. Reason is no actual trainer that has a system for teaching and evaluating what is the right position for a person's capabilities. Thus, causing stressed a environment for newer and seasoned employees. Safety inside of the plant is not taken seriously. People are always getting injured over lack of consideration to the needed safety on  job task. Could be a cool job if the company was restructured remove some people from positions that cause the toxic work environment. Company is making changes maybe if the right changes come about could be really cool place to work. 

i stand at a table for 10 hours a day with 3 breaks which are 15 min i cut cold bait and put into required tray. i work with some very nice people have a supervisor who is quirky and funny likes to joke around. it is hard to work 48 hours every week and try to find time for my family. when i started as a temp with pure fishing i learned how to operate a stand up fork lift which i believe is beneficial to my resume and personal experience as which  i usually would only operate sit down fork lifts also i learned the wave which is a single person unit which lets you raise up to 3 levels in the warehouse there is room to learn and get on full time but mostly its second shift which is difficult for some people to handle. there are many hard working people working at pure fishing but the low pay and long hours make it difficult for some to function on a daily basis which may require a second job or working extra on weekends where most persons would like to spend time with their spouse,their family or to travel to see family

What is the best part of working at the company?
The culture of the warehouse workers. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor, very poor, leadership. Upper management was very disconnected from the warehouse workers. The HR manager wasn’t skilled in her position and she openly played favorites. No administrative HR protocol was followed. It seemed more like a club. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great amongst the warehouse workers. Upper management was absent. Very much a “do as I say and not as I do” attitude. Poor examples for leaders, unfortunately. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful. Misguided. Warehouse workers had to team together to meet metrics. Upper management would show up once a month at the “staff meeting” and brag about their accomplishments and laugh amongst one another. It was very discouraging. Poor worker recognition.

I have been here for a year. In office and assisting on the floor. There is a huge diversity so it is fair to say, Be Open Minded with the different cultures. The management is striving for a better and more communicative bridge between Floor and Office Staff. Show your consist strong work ethic and communicate maturely and you will be rewarded and shown appreciation. The training has improved across the board since I have been here in the last year. The lead teams are working diligently in creating cross training opportunities and growth. My health declined for more than three months and they were the most supportive company that I have ever been employed with. Thank you for giving KC career opportunities and an employment structure.

Came in as a worker through a temp agency. My shift 7am-7:30pm Friday-Sunday. They expect you to be trained on your first three 12 hour shifts. Then after that you’re on your own, as a temp worker you are only allowed 3 points actually 2 because the third is letting you go from the company. So if an emergency arise and you have 1 point already be expecting to be fired. Also they expect a 70% or above in your work matrix meaning during your three days 12 hour shifts. They’re expecting 70% and above. Doesn’t matter if you a new hire. Again  if you don’t meet that expectation you’re fired! My job title on my paperwork was not the job I actually performed. When there is no work they expect employees to sweep and do housekeeping chores or if you decide to leave early due to no work. It’s an 1/2 point. Overall my experience was horrible with a negative environment. As well as the place being all over the place.

I learned a lot the consumer goods market.  I also spent a lot of time in unproductive meetings.  The company is very top heavy making things difficult to get done.  Lots of ego in this company, and very few managers or workers actually fish, therefore don't know their market very well. Since they are publicly traded short term numbers are much more important than long term investments. The pay is not good, and they run very lean. This creates a lot people in positions that are not top quality candidates. There is also a huge lack of overall job training in the Columbia office

What is the best part of working at the company?
The team work and production rating. Shows that we always got the job done. As the number 1 distribution company in the world for fishing equipment.b

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When orders has to be filled and  employees choose not to come to work and other employees that came to work has to pick up the slack . Usually that's the most stressful trying to meet the quota and Bonuses 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very positive work area. Everyone getting alone well and working together. The environment makes you want to come to work and be apart of the team.

No formal training for new employees, there method is throw mud against the wall and see what sticks. When they are busy they bring in the lowest level human beings as temps and the production floor becomes chaos,  no training, supervision or accountability .  For people that try to do the right thing and do a good job and care about there product it is discouraging when everyone else doesn't care.  Nobody says anything positive about the place day after day.  If anyone is in a good mood they are probably drunk or high. The miserable people will eventually ruin your day. Lowest overall moral I have ever seen. 

This place has no room for advancement and do not take medical problems in to consideration. They expect you to work every single weekend for overtime and wont let you do the overtime through out the week. Hire you for one area and as soon as you have an issue with something that someone is doing instead of dealing with the problem they just move you to an area that they know you cant physically do to try to make you quit. Not a good company to work for and you do not ever get raises. If you wanna move up and get better pay then go somewhere else. 

This place is a turn and burn company that treats its employees like trash, the managers are rude and do not work well with others.  It’s literally the same boring day in and day out job and you won’t be appreciated for any of your work.  The managers are not helpful and when a machine breaks down they blame you even though it’s because they don’t take the time and don’t spend the money to fix it properly, most people that work there seem to hate their life and are depressing and rude.  If you want a job just to make some quick money cause you just moved out here than this is good cause they’ll probably fire you after a month or 2 anyways.
