RJW Logistics

Newly hired Supervisors are extremely lazy and lack a tremendous work ethic and respect for the same employees that they supervise. The easiest computer tasks, they have extreme difficulty executing. Said tasks, those supervisors were trained for weeks to master and they failed miserably.  Some of them, 
'hold too much power'' or actually think they ''possess all the power'' and take it to heart and become Ceasar in a sense. You can refer to the next manager in line but he will just try to undermine you with question after question instead of listening or try to understand where you're coming from. They constantly ask, "as supervisors or a company, how can we improve?". Why ask if nothing ever improves and only gets worse especially with the literally every 2-week system and picking update. Just ask the Quality Control team that is struggling daily because of said updates and lack of company and supervisor support. Donta let it get too busy up there, supervisors will create random spaces around the warehouse to stage pallets, whether it's a safe location or not. Then get ready to constantly move said random pallets so you can maneuver inbound or outbound pallets to pick from. Then when you can't keep your productivity numbers above a certain percentage because you're having to maneuver around their lack of management and preventative skills, they like to fire you because "you're too slow". Their favorite time to do this is right after a planned audit. Maybe a surprise audit would do them some good!! Its sink or swim at this warehouse. Good luck!

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at RJW Logistics is not that great. The hours are Monday through Friday and they don’t give many sick days so if you need to take off due to kids or illness reasons they don’t work with you so you have to accumulate points that will add up quickly.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at RJW Logistics are not great. The benefits are expensive. The pay is okay but they don’t typically give you a raise and will find every reason not to.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at RJW Logistics, I think there’s not much room for advancement unless you are good with the managers.

Management
In general, managers at RJW Logistics are all about productivity numbers and don’t care about their employees safety.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at RJW Logistics is divided. People don’t work as a team and are always complaining or talking about others.

Overall
My experience working at RJW Logistics hasn’t been great. Multiple people start rumors because they’re bored at work or aren’t happy with their lives. Management expects so much from you and puts more on your plate with no additional pay.

After a few years working at the company I decided to take my leave. I have not moved up in this company nor have I been recognized for the extra work I do after almost six years, I have noticed an extreme amount of favoritism; advantages are thrown around to just anyone, rather than those who truly put in the work. Some Supervisors get away with treating associates unfairly. No superiors in the buildings have our backs. It seems as though this company does not value good help. Every day when I would show up to work I never had the supplies I needed to get the job done. The assistant manager neglected his job and gave his responsibilities to the inbound supervisor and the retail supervisor. I felt that the same problems occurred in every building I went to. Therefore I take my leave and would not recommend this job to anyone.

A typical day at rjw would be picking orders but managers will constantly micromanage, I believe the only thing I learned in the 5 years of working there would be you will never move up career wise only if you are family or get along really well with the supervisors . 
Management does not really care for you they just expect the work to be done  so THEY can reach there goal . 
Workplace culture not much to say . 
The hardest part of the job is dealing with  managers micromanaging to excessive or unnecessary degree. Instead of allowing employees to take initiative or make decisions on their own, they tends to constantly check, correct, and direct even the most minor tasks.  Which lead to frustration 
The most enjoyable part of the job is lunch and going home . 

Bad culture, favoritism and nepotism evident to the highest degrees. Its not your performance that matters. Its who you know. Gone are the days where you can just come in and complete your numbers and tasks. In this place if you make the wrong person un happy consider all your hard work null and void. Chicago and Joliet ghettoness make these warehouses full of stale and miserable individuals. They will always promote from external and never from within. So many colleagues have applied for positions just for them to bring someone in from the outside. It creates a demotivated and burned out workforce. Just a paycheck. Work here at your own risk. 

The coworkers are great and help the shift go by faster. They schedule overtime veryyyy last minute so this job is not ideal if you have a specific schedule due to kids or other life circumstances. It is not easy to get to HR with any questions or concerns so do not expect any answers within a reasonable amount of time. I would ask about certain policies and often times my manager could not tell me. Certain things may be asked of you like relocating to another building. At the time that was not in the job description but it is now officially in there. At the end of the day it's just another warehouse job and they will easily get rid of you so treat them as such.

In the first years it was a good experience, I had colleagues with a good attitude, over time they became hostile since no matter how much you focus on your tasks, there is never a lack of nosy, liar, and the one who brings and brings bad comments from others going into that game it's really stressful everyone wants to compete with each other.  Many thought they were better just by talking to the supervisors, it is very sad to work like this.  I can say that I had excellent supervisors and very poor managers and supervisors.

A typical day I been running the same routine day in day out for 3years. Learned a lot about poor management and the lack of sense in a logistics company. They waive promotions around but never get serious enough to promote. Workplace culture is terrible.hardest part is I’d say is having to take feedback from people who have no idea what they’re talking about. I enjoy my fellow co-workers other than that job sucks and will work you dead for terrible pay. Should go union and actually support there workers.

They show favoritism to certain supervisors and they will ask other associates to write a false statements about you, so they can write you up or let you go. That goes for all facilities in Illinois and in Texas.  You will also be poorly trained by your Assistant Manager when you are a Supervisor and will be held accountable when you wasn't shown something.  Assistant Managers will be in the parking lot kissing and showing affection to the Temporary employees, very unprofessional.  

I was told if you work hard for the company you can move up in the job well I work hard and well never moved up no matter how good of work you did they wanted more and in the start of the day they would have a meeting that took up 30 mins that's 30 minutes lost that they wanted you to magically get back one thing I can say if you have a high rate at work time lost is time lost you can't beat the clock
