Quiet Logistics

This place is the type of job you would think to exist in a third world country. How would you enjoy standing on your feet all day in a 100 plus degree factory/warehouse with sweat streaming down your face. And a freezing cold factory, that you need to wear your coat, hat and gloves in winter. And the least productive managers in the world screaming at you to work faster and ship, ship, ship!! And please, please do not come here and actually be a good worker, because you will be expected to work three times as hard. In order to make up for all the unproductive workers. Why would you dare to work harder than others and go home with the same pay at the end of the week? This company offers no real benefits what so ever. The lunch break is 30 minutes long you stand in a line for 15 minutes to heat your food in a microwave. The factory is dusty beyond words. So many clothes end up dirty/damaged because of the unclean conditions of the warehouse. You will find the managers sitting comfortably, staring at a computer screen the majority of the shift. Then getting up only to yell at you, to work faster. Pregnant women are not allowed to sit down. And if you don't speak Española, you won't have many people you can communicate with as far as the employees go. But then again this company is headquartered in Spain. some managers are rude. After all you are just a temp. And WHEN DID IT BECOME OK IN AMERICA TO PAY A WORKER THAT STANDS ON THEIR FEET ALL DAY AND DOES PHYSICAL LABOR; LESS THAN WHAT THEY PAY A MANAGER TO SIT AND DELEGATE? America has gone way down because of companies like this, that charge an arm and a leg for their products and pay the workers a toe nail. I will never, buy anything from this company based off the fact they need to give more to the workers. And a realistic wage. I would work less in McDonalds and get paid the same. At least McDonalds has ac in the summer and heat in the winter. This company needs a labor union.

First things first, when you are working here, realize that the posting that you see, may be an outright lie as your hours will heavily vary upon the amount of orders that are assigned to your shift, ergo you can end up being forced to work overtime on days that are supposedly your days off, this however is offset by the amount you end up being compensated for doing this overtime.

Second, realize that from the moment you enter past the security desk, time is important to keep track of as they are strict in regards to the amount of time your break lasts, even one minute late and it is immediate reprimanding from your supervisor. Conversely, your clock-out time is also heavily monitored and they will try to avoid you voluntarily prolonging your work hours as much as possible.

Third, understand that your co-workers are your greatest asset in actually making it through the workday/week as (at least whilst I was there) the managers and the supervisors don't exactly have a good level of communication with each other and will contradict each other at times as well. Whilst your fellow co-workers will be the closest thing you will have there to family as they will similarly be experiencing the same workload as you.

Fourth, lastly also understand that your co-workers are also your greatest enemies as well due to the nature of the quota system in which you will at times be competing with each other just to have some semblance of being able to hit your "UPH" and will also be outright compared against them as a result.Do note that should you fail to meet quota consistently enough, you risk termination from the job.

If you can accept the fact that this is the case, this workplace is a decent place to be employed at.

I have been with Quiet Logistics temp agency, Randstad, for almost 3 months now, have trained in almost every department, am a very well educated, composed person, and hard worker. I've been on time every day with no problems and still have not been offered a job. 

The pay is very low (under $10/hour) with no shift differential (I work third shift). Even when you get hired on there is not much hope, they start you off at a meager $10/hour. Every department within the factory pays the same, so there is no opportunity for advancement unless you manage to aquire a management position. From what I've seen this can take years and these positions are limited.

 Basically, this is the lowest paying factory job I have ever had, and the future looks grim. The work is very easy, so I can understand not getting paid much, but the starting pay they afford you when you finally get hired, with no shift differential, is an insult considering there are literally no advancement opportunities. 

If you're looking for an in between job or think $20k/yr is good $ for the rest of your career, it's not that bad. They hire just about anyone, and set you up to work fairly quickly. One other thing that is great about this company, however, is the people I work with. They are very easy to work with. I haven't had a problem with anyone and we all seem to get along very well.

a typical day at work

I show up in the morning and complete my day to day, mundane tasks that are to be accomplished.

what you learned

At this job, I learned how terrible it can be to work for incredibly lazy managers who do their best not to engage their employees directly as they inadvertently create the most mundane place to work for.

management

As briefly described above, the management in this place is terrible.  They try to maintain their minimum goals that are to be met but spend most of their day texting.  When they fall behind and get yelled at, they gather their teams and yell at them for being horrible at their jobs. From this, they expect employee morale to increase but instead does the exact opposite. Unfortunately, they are not experienced enough to motivate and keep their employees happy. They do not even try.  What they do best is make this company feel like an american sweat shop.

your co-workers

My co-workers are the best part of this job.  Despite how awful it is to work in this atrocious place, the friendly co-workers are true team players and do what they can to complete all tasks and assist their comrades when or if needed.

the hardest part of the job

There is no hardest part of the job.  All tasks are what you expect from a logistics/fulfillment warehouse.

the most enjoyable part of the job

The most enjoyable part of this job is, again: Your awesome co-workers and nothing else.

At first, They smile to your face and tell you that it is a fun place to work and that it is Not a temp position and then after working there for a while, realization sets in. The management is horrible and there is only 2 actual managers there and then I think 2 guys that are supposed to be "Leads" but None of them have the actual Experience that it takes to run a warehouse properly and they all play favoritism and none of them are professional. They talk down about their workers and are the "pointing fingers" type of management and whenever they make mistakes, they pawn it off on someone else so the heat does not come back on them.  When it comes to the different types of positions they have there, If you are an Order Picker/Puller, Half of the orders are messed up and you cant even find the right products for them cause it will show that something is supposed to be in an area and when you go to that location, half of the time it is not even there. I am not sure how this place is even open for business and why they customers have not backed out yet from this location. 

I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND this place to anyone that is looking for a job. I don't see this place being there more than 5 years from now.

My time spent working at Quiet Logistic was cut shortly after they had laid off the vast majority of the employees after “peak season”. The peak season did not last more then a week and half maybe. And then after that, everyone would get sent home early sometimes as early as 6:00pm when the shift started at 4:00pm. There was absolutely no work for us to do towards the end of my time here. 

If you need to leave early for any reason, you will get penalized with points and once they add up to a certain amount, they’ll let you go from working there. There are also points for if you leave early for being sick which they don’t mention to you. 

Another issue would be the management. They claim that they will work with everyone but there’s a lot of unprofessional favoritism in the work environment. Working here did not have a family-like environment, everyone will criticize you and instead of growing together, they just let just let you go. 

There is no job security and they will waste your time. I had overheard someone mention out loud when working, “If they don’t like you, they’ll get rid of you”.

A typical day at work involves you coming in and going straight to your supervisor to know what to do. The company is too cheap to buy extra scanning devices so that the employees could do their job. You have to wait until a shift ends before all the devices get returned and you have a chance at getting one. There is almost no job security at all. If you make a mistake, they will let you go and find someone else the next day from a temp agency. Also, they don't even consider hiring you as an employee until after a year. You learn a lot of things in the first week unless they want to keep you at a certain spot. Training takes you about 5 minutes and then they leave you on your own for the rest of the day. The best part of the job are probably co-workers. A lot of the people there were fun. I'd say the hardest part about the job is not knowing what you're going to do when you come in.

If you're looking at this review after going to a temp agency, I recommend that you look elsewhere for a job. I've seen many people quit before they have been here for a month.

Stared working in November 2020 as a temp making boxes at a workstation standing all day,  Made boxes for various products in the warehouse.  Was moved from the front of the warehouse to the back stock area with the boxes, where I was told I would be working at a picnic table.  No communication or explanation for the sudden change.  Was told it was a business decision.  Fast forward to March 2021 and present, coworker suddenly quit and I was moved to shipping.  After one day of minimal training was give productivity warning.  Seems to be an ongoing toxic work environment with high turnover of temps.  Not surprised at all.  Management is extremely disorganized and poor communication.  Loves to preach about how many items a person should do.  I do not recommend this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Honestly I regret my time at Quiet.  There was nothing positive about this company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I would say the everyday duties changed and changes during the shift when they move people to different areas.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well I met some really cool people( the temps).  However the actual people who are company they seem unhappy and it showed and that affected who you could go to for help and that really made the work challenging.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day was different because they service different companies. They always made sure they have you working and keeping with the hourly quotas so it was like you were always moving.

Great work environment, however upper management needs to work on their organization and communication skills. Lots of last minute decisions made, effecting work flow and worker productivity. My immediate supervisor is well rounded, with a excellent knowledge of the skills need to assist me in my daily tasks. The company is very flexible with family related time off and scheduling. HR department is professional resolves many issues in a timely manner I.E. missing hours in check. Family time off and company discounts are some of the other bonuses at the company.
