SEKO Logistics

SEKO logistics is a fast paced shipping business expanding constantly.  I started every day by compiling up to one hundred orders that needed to be categorized by where they were going and estimate the number of pallets it would consist of.  After this morning task was done, I needed to find truckloads for each location, which on certain days consisted of more than 20 trucks.  Once the trucks were ordered, I needed to compile a schedule for the next day so the warehouse would know what times each truck was coming so they could prepare accordingly.

Other than ordering the trucks for the next day, I was in charge of LTL (less than truck loads) for outside locations.  An example of this would be if one pallet needed to be shipped from San Diego CA to Denver CO.  I would have to find a rate generator for each order and get the best price I could.  After that I would order a LTL service and track the shipment until it was complete.

Everyone that works at Seko Logistics is extremely hard working and friendly towards one another.  Everyone is expected to work until the job is done, which mean a lot of overtime and time spent with one another.  Even though some days proved stressful, everyone works as a team and a unit, instead of individuals.

The hardest part of working with this job was the long hours and relentless pressure to have everything complete without the appropriate time that orders are supposed to come in at.  Management took a strong stance on customers needs, over clients following protocol.

The most enjoyable part of the job was learning how to multitask in stressful situations.  This was a difficult, however it taught me how to prioritize and complete tasks that I wouldn't have believed I could have otherwise

I have a pleasant time working for Seko in the beginning years, The company had so many challenges to address in my earliest stages which were addressed and corrected, The typical day was fun due to been a fast pace environment and dealing with diverse type of operations with multi base customer operations in addition to managing the constant challenges of customer needs and meeting SLA's. I learned how to multitask in a higher degree due to the demands of the job and also how to distribute/fluctuate labor and managing multiple operations at once> I also learned how to quote special projects and activities in order to provide warehouse operation pricing for customers as well as to dealing with customer to understand and suffice their needs and suppliers to ensure that I have the tools to do the job and maintain the integrity of the building and personnel. The hardest part of the job was to dealing with upper management poor planing to on-board new customer and false promises but not the owner whom I appreciate dearly. The most enjoyable part was to be appreciated by the owner and the family work environment created by the employees. I missed working for Seko but after working many additional hours for years it got to the point that it make me feel utilize and not compensated enough.

SEKO branch offices (the one I worked at) could be so much more if they followed the corporate culture of the HQ in Chicago.  Everyone I worked with (over the phone/in person when they came to visit) were so helpful and professional and  had it "together".  On the local branch level, it's solely up to the buyer of that territory to make the extension of the SEKO branding and culture and I did an amazing job at building a brand from scratch but didn't have the support as the branch owner was too busy with 2 other companies he was focused on and letting his office manager run the ship.  I left on my own accord due to the dysfunction on the branch level.  It was disturbing on many levels how disconnected the branch owner became as he focused on side projects & people in the branch office. Had I worked at corporate, I would have been a lifer.  SEKO is a great company - who they allow to buy their territories is another story.

You will be under paid and over worked.   You will be asked to act as a supervisor, correct employees, take lead of accounts, as a regular laborer.  You will be promised a supervisor position but you will never receive the promotion. Raises are non existent and when it’s brought to managements attention they always respond with reviews are coming. But they are never done and no raises are given, no matter how long you been there. They employee lazy temporary workers as most of their staff. These employees refuse to do their jobs so as a Seko employee you have to do what they don’t do as well.  There is no formal training, the training I did receive came from a temporary worker who called out half the week during my training period.  When a mistake is made, even if not done by you, you will get blamed.  The turn over rate is insane. 

Working at SEKO Logistics has been a truly rewarding experience. The company fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment where employees are valued and supported. From day one, I felt welcomed and empowered to contribute meaningfully. Leadership is approachable and transparent, and they genuinely care about employee growth and well-being. Training is thorough, and the systems in place make it easy to learn and succeed. I’ve had the opportunity to work with global clients and gain hands-on experience in international logistics, which has expanded my skill set tremendously. The pace is fast, but the teamwork and communication make it manageable and even exciting. SEKO encourages innovation and problem-solving, and I’ve seen firsthand how ideas are listened to and implemented. There’s a strong sense of pride in the work we do, and it’s motivating to be part of a company that’s respected in the industry. I’m grateful to be part of the SEKO team.

I have been in this industry for over 8 years, and I have never experienced a company like Seko. I could go on and on about how much I enjoy working here. The atmosphere is relaxed, but very professional. Things are done as far ahead of time as possible. Management makes sure you're not overwhelmed and goes out of their way to make sure your work load is taken care of, even if that means helping out with your desk personally. The benefits are outstanding and their flexibility is very appreciated. They treat us to lunch, offer to send us to training seminars for our own personal benefit and they treat all employees with respect and understanding. I absolutely love my job here at Seko and I can see myself growing and working here for a long time. I would recommend working here to anyone I know. Best job I have ever had, hands down.

I have enjoyed working with my current employer over the last 13 years.  I have been blessed to be on a part time (working full time flexible schedule) during my time with SEKO Logistics, LLC.  My skill set is very large as I was on contract to perform in all departments within this organization.  I enjoy a challenge and managing multiple projects.  I would like to opportunity for a full time position and/or part time flex, or even sales related opportunity.  I am looking for a more challenging position to utilize my talents and ability.  I do not feel that my current position is allowing me to enhance my career possibilities.  I look forward to hearing from a company which could make this difference.

Don’t work with them if you’re hired by Staffinders! Mark my words if you still decide to. There are few things: 1. They would take a portion of your salary to their pocket (so when taxes and stuff are also excluded you get shocking amount of money you worked hard for); 2. They don’t deal with you once they hire you. They don’t explain almost anything. And you’re just on your own there.  You have to ask how to do things there all the time people who work there. 3. At the end of the day you will be kicked out anyway.  I personally was fired after 10 days of work. No explanations whatsoever. Such a scamming company! Stay away! 

The base salary is okay, but the real plus is the car allowance and the expenses are covered. The operations team is amazing, getting you through the mine field that can be importing/exporting and domestic shipping.
If you have sales experience like me, but not outside sales experience, you will run into an issue. Outside sales is so different and they are not going to really provide you with any methodology to learn it. Use other resources, like blogs and people in the field who know what they're doing to guide you.
Six months is not long enough to see how someone will develop, especially if some of the relationships you are building with clients may take a year to flourish.

Job was a warehouse environment, but never did you do just warehouse work. Manager was a micro-manager, and never let employees just do the job. They expected 12 hours of work in an 8 hour shift. Very disorganized, and confrontational, making the culture toxic. Tried to get 3 employees to cover 2 different warehouses at all times. Start one job, and then be moved to another one, and never finishing what you started. They also took on assembly work for other companies, and expected you to do that, as well as your normal job.
 Overall, not an  enjoyable atmosphere, and I would not recommend.
