Red Stag Fulfillment

As an operations supervisor, I come in a little earlier than the team to prepare for the day. We set up assignments for TMs, go over orders, and tickets, and then organize for morning huddle where important info is shared with the team. During the shift, we move TMs around to better fill holes in productivity and also assist TMs with issues they may be having. EOD is a quick wrap up and audit. Short sweet to the point. Days go by fast.

I had amazing people believe in me here and pushed me to help me get to where I am. It wasn't based on favoritism or anything trivial. I learned to be always on the hunt to learn something new. I learned to lead with empathy and understanding while also being consistent and goal oriented. Being a lead may not be as physically taxing, but mentally it takes its toll. I've learned that management is a lot harder than it looks, with patience and humility being very important. 

Management is ever evolving. Present leadership is goal oriented but they are also team centered. The goal is to problem solve and seek to understand. Not jump the gun and can a lot of people. Overall, leadership here is tough but fair. Just a great group of individuals. 
 
Workplace culture is based on core values: Always seek to improve, treat everyone with dignity and respect, always have a positive attitude, act like you own it, and sweat the small stuff. We live these values everyday. Some days are better than others. But we always seek to improve. 

The hardest part of the job is that I'd does change a lot. Improvements are made, policies are changed. It happens quickly and often. 

But the most enjoyable part of the job is getting close to your team and watching them grow and succeed. Some people thrive here and it's nice to think of where they will be in a little while.



At Red Stag you can give everything you have and more to the company. Time, health, mental capacity, anything you can give, they will take, unappreciate, and dash into the rocks. Their retention is abysmal to say the least. The culture is entirely consistent with befriend the, to say the least, EXCESSIVELY nepotistic management, or fear for your job at every step you make. They have and will continue to push unrealistic and unreasonable request of staff. They will ignore any disabilities at best, and use them against you as soon as they deem you've outlived your usefulness to them. This is by far the worst job I have ever had. The fellow coworkers are often excellent. The management is hired from outside and sees those below them as underlings to do their bidding. They go back on promises made and demolish any hope of a work life balance. Busy season is filled with 55 to 70 hour work weeks. They can not keep good staff around, and will place this blame on any and everyone they can, as long as it's not themselves. If you're considering working here, they will overwork and overburden your physical, mental, emotional, and familial well being. You will watch as many poor employees are chosen to move up, because they befriended middle management. If you let them, they will literally work you until you wish you were dead, or are so stressed you literally have a heart attack. Yes. That happened. They have not, nor will they ever, care for their employees. You are less than a number here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Schedules and coworkers. Some of the best people I have worked with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Instability. Can be busy for a few months and low volume for the rest. Not reliable for hours so you are stressing about trying to get your hours.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
For the most part friendly and helpful. They really focus on that point very well.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You would clock in go to the "leads" desk and wait for instruction. Usually assignments are up on board and then you do your stretches with coworkers. During or after stretches they discuss the volume or any updates they may have. Then everyone goes to their position and starts to work. Positions in certain areas of warehouse may vary. Outbound you could be picking, then come back from break they assign you to packing orders, then after another break you could be loading a truck, and lastly you then could be load scanning packages.  Depending on who your lead is and how they run the shift it could vary.

It's super long hours or really short hours. I've been sent home at 3 and I've worked until 9pm. You never know how your day is going to go. And if you did work until 9:00 p.m. they wouldn't allow you any more breaks because you was already taken your three paid/unpaid breaks for the day. So you would spend from 3:00 p.m. when last break was to 9:00 p.m. just working straight through the day

Management will very much only move up their favorites, and you may have to teach these people how to do their job so they can function. 

When I worked here we had a new manager come in and change the structure of how everything was set up in the warehouse. Causing us to have a harder time to do the basic functions of our job. In fact one afternoon we had to move conveyer belts that were bolted to the ground. Which felt like a waste of my time since we then had to stay late and finish packages.

No communication, no organization. Upper management is just a revolving door. Don't work too hard, you'll just get more work without pay or title. They will tell you it's job abandonment if you want to leave at the end of your scheduled shift. There is only a couple process leads that care about you as an employee. It is not temperature controlled so be prepared to work in extreme hot or cold. If you are in outbound you will walk up to 25,000 steps a day. Your schedule will change multiple times and probably before you even start. Do not try to go above and beyond because most people there want complete control and will manipulate you and completely embarrass you because of their insecurities with their ability to NOT do the job. They want you to follow the core values but management does not have to follow core values. I wouldn't work here until they have a solid management team in place for at least 5+ years, if they even make it that long. I could write a whole book. Good luck.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The early morning shift was the best part of working at Redstag. I got off at 1230pm so I had a lot of my day still available to do what I wanted and needed to do.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most stressful part was watching lazy people get away with doing nothing while hard workers take up the slack. Also management would stand around and talk negatively about employees and HR would do nothing about it 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was productive but toxic at times. The culture was irritating because certain people got special treatment from management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is clocking in, exercising stretches,  getting assigned to what you were going to be doing that day, maintaining a productive schedule.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It has become too corporate and what used to be the best part of working there (which was the strong community and people that have been there since the beginning) got weeded out and new people brought in to change the culture. When once we were actual people, now employees are simply numbers

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
LACK OF CRUCIAL COMMUNICATION! Noj one knows whats going on most of the time and leadership is often away in meetings leaving associates to figure things out on their own often leading to mistakes that they will later get in trouble for due to lack of training and supervision.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not the environment I would choose to waste my energy on anymore. The culture no longer has a family like environment like it used to.

When I started it was a really good company to work for and I enjoyed my job and didn't care to work long hours. The company has since gone downhill. There is no communication in the company and upper management is completely out of touch. People in charge don't know what they are doing and they keep making changes to make everything faster and more efficient and ultimately end up making things worse, very few of the changes have had a positive impact. The turnover rate is huge because no one wants to get worked to the bone, be treated badly, and not really be offered anything in the way of benefits. If you need a job then the money isn't bad, but don't expect to last long term, everyone who has been with the company a while is choosing to leave.

What is the best part of working at the company?
meeting people, good wage they dont have relentless shipping quotas .you do have to work hard.  but you can at least pace yourself

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
management between days and night don't communicate well. day shift does it their way and nightshift does it their way, makes for confusion. so we would spend the 1st hour figuring out what day shift completed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its a comfortable work enviroment. lots of good people. but, they only had a few swamp coolers for summer. and half the heaters didnt work during winter. very, very uncomfortable

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
shipping product, picking orders or driving forklifts to replenish product

Being a member of the team for the better half of a decade, I have grown not only professionally, but personally. Red Stag Fulfillment is not for everyone, but they value hard work and truly do take care of their own. If your are looking for a company that is perfect, you will be looking till the end of time, but if you are looking for a company that will own their mistakes and do the right thing even when its hard this is the place to work. I am grateful for the opportunity and all of the relationships that I have developed over the years. If you are considering working here and can invest the time and be humble you will do well. If your are looking to come in and do the minimum, then it's not worth your time or the companies.
