Royal Food Service

Royal hired me to basically hired me to clean up their customer service Dept., terminate and replace problematic employees, set official processes and protocols to follow, improve cohesiveness of department, improve department morale, improve relations between customer service department and other departments as a good working relationship with customer service is integral in smooth overall operations from sales to distribution to customer retention.  

 Through long hours and a lot of hard work, often working 50-60 hour work weeks (including weekends) I was able to transform the department.  While I identified, terminated and replaced problematic employees, I found the deeper cause of the problem was actually more than just poor staffing choices, but moreso attributable to an overall company wide toxicity and disrespect stemming from those sitting at the top and nurtured by them.  They cultivated a negative work environment, where everyone worked against each other to elevate themselves in the eyes of those that determined their worth.  There were lots of blaming others, pointing fingers, complaining about how others perform their jobs vs. working in concert to find solutions to any given problem or to find ways for cohesiveness company wide ...  there is no real growth, no positive reinforcement, no acknowledgement of the great effort of staff to keep the company moving forward.  

Royal Foods is very weird. The entire process is disorganized & it all falls on the selectors. You will have an excessive amount of shorts, that you have to say you picked, and just hold on to the sticker and wait for fulfillment. 

It’s a production job, but orders are handed out at a window. Top selectors will take 2 & 3 orders at once instead of 1. Management will tell others the rule is 1 order at a time but will then celebrate the rule breakers with employee of the month/year awards. Equipment  is never charged, you will have to switch jacks throughout the night, and oh yea. You don’t get compensatory time for anything. Shorts, equipment changes, late starts due to meetings. 
Job would be enjoyable if the rules were the same for everyone but they allow 3-4 people to manipulate order window so we lose the experienced new hires because they identify the manipulation and move to a different company. & management gives special orders to the rule breakers making you feel as if following rules are hampering you so you’re tempted to follow suit. 

You work hard to finish your route and get home for rest only to be sent out again for p.m's. Constantly changing your schedule and routes. Rarely have consecutive days off.  Don't get a serious illness, no sick time. 3 days paid vacation after one year and working a majority 6 day per week schedule for a year. The harder you work the more they try to ride you. I know you have bills but I wouldn't recommend this spot especially if you have a CDL. The turnover at this company should tell you everything you need to know. It has potiental to be a career if they got better management.

Not a good place to work company will cheat you out of your money especially a sign on bonus. The management at this company will lie to you in your interview for selector and tell you that you can honestly make money there that is not true the system is poor the equipment is outdated and doesn't work properly and the management does not follow its own procedures that they want to hold half the team accountable to then they have special team members that they allow to violate the rules in order to get orders pulled

I would arrive at work , we would have a start up meeting , discuss the case load for that night this usually took about 15 minutes then we would get to work. My job was to replinish empty pick locations and keep aisles clean thru out the night.

Really enjoyed working there delivering produce to schools and colleges but one day I did my regular run Got Back and I was tired and picked up a second run in Atlanta when backing up I hit a car and got terminated.. but I was on probation for three months though
