Service Partners

Overall a good company, with lots of small branches across the states. Each location has 2-5 trucks and most locations feel like a small company where everyone knows each other very well. What they lack in pay rate, will be compensated in nice words, daily chit chat, jokes and flexible start time. Office makes a lot of mistakes and you as a driver will have to deal with it. (Address, timing, incorrect loading sequence of multiple orders) Just don't complain about it and take it slow and they name you their best driver. It is easy to stay fit as you will be unloading insulation bundles by yourself. Your job is to throw them of the trailer, the rest is not your problem. Routes are mostly consistent, some day you deliver residential and businesses, other days you just move trailers between 3 different branches 40-100miles away. 
Unfortunately, the corporate puts branches in a race to make at least a million $ this month. So in order to beat other branches, sacrifices have to be made. Poor lunch room, no coffee, no sugar or creamer, no hand soap, forget about freebies and giveaways it's not that kind of company. It's a billion dollar corporation they have bills to pay, so buy your own gloves.
They don't like to invest in the equipment. Even truck wash isn't encouraged,by the management because they want to save every penny so you can be honored with $25 gift card at the end of the year. After 30 years you get $400 gift card. I lasted 6years, longest lasting driver for that branch. I have seen and trained at least 14 drivers during those years. Many times substituted for other locations while they were missing a driver or two. No one would stick because of the physical aspect of the job and mediocre pay. I quit after I saw companies 
next to our, offering $2-4 more per hour for new drivers with one year of experience.



Service Partners is a very secure organization based on the products and services they provide.  Building materials are and will be necessary for the growth and development of this country.  I feel very secure working for this organization because of the strong need for the products and services they provide our customers.  Other industries are effected deeper during downturns in the economy.  Service Partners has the ability to diversify themselves to stave off staff reductions, branch closures etc. There is not a perfect organization in the world.  Each one can have flaws that individuals can be critical of.  I am grateful for the career that Service Partners has provided me and the financial stability it has offered for myself and my family.  If employees want to be critical of their employer,  they simply need to look inward and ask themselves,  If I am not part of the solution then I am part of the problem.  Strive to make a difference in your current job.  You do have the ability to set the tone and improve the overall workplace with a positive attitude, look out for each other, reward good talent and hold others accountable when they don't meet the job expectation.  Too many individuals want to be a victim instead of striving to be a winner in everything they do !

What is the best part of working at the company?
Thieves/liars/manipulative....

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being setup for failure by individuals that have been there 20-31 years that are liars and thieves from within the company that get away with everything even when corporate HR gets involved. 4.5 years wasted.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, be ready to be told one thing then it possibly switch multiple times whilst being in the middle of loading or unloading. If you're "new" they will prey on you like sharks acting friendly then will stab in the back at first chance to get you gone for someone they know to replace you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Waiting around for loads. The work day could no joke be done within 2 hours if paperwork and all the office end of the work was managed better. Columbia TN branch has had  4 managers in a 4.5 year time. So that should tell you a lot in itself.

I want dare say don't apply for a job there. However, I will advise to make sure to understand what the job involves. If you're a driver, trust me, you better watch your back. Management wants you to do your job and much more if u can, but will cut your throat when you stand up for fairness. I, as a driver, not only did my job, but also helped the helpers with their job, but when I would stand for safteyness, fairness and equal pay for the job performed, I got canned. I worked extremely hard for this company. They talk saftey, but don't care how unsafe the job is, just so it gets done. If you say something, they find a reason to fire you..beware! No appreciation for what someone that try and do an HONEST, hard day of work does...No bonuses...very, very little raises. Need someone that know what goes on in the field before they try and tell you what to do. Want you to work in rain, sleet, snow doesn't matter as long as they don't have to do it. The minute you say something, you're in the bullseye.

50+ Hour work weeks are normal, 12+ hour days on inventory days are normal for office workers and warehouse, Inventory days are typically 2-3 times a month, pay is below-average for any warehouse, office, Inside Sales employees, many people burn out very quick.  I saw 15-20 people come in and go out within the first 18 months that I was an employee.  Communicating with Branches Nationwide I heard the same frustrations happening regardless of site location.  You enjoy weekends off but several warehouse workers were ordered to come in on Saturdays for months.  As the Regional Manager put it, it's not a democracy, it's a dictatorship, if you don't like it, go work somewhere else.

Some business days are ran fast and smoothly and other days business is slow and rough. Okay for a job but I don't recommend if your looking for a career to grow in as there is no room for advancement. Managers expect one thing but don't put there part in making the company better as setting an example for employees they come in late get out early or simply no show but when someone is running behind they don't act as a team player and is a big no no, don't train properly and expect so much from you, if a simple mistake is made from lack of training you get written up.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Having a job ..but you will not get anything but a excuse when it's raise time,past employees quit for this reason.while office personnel get commission off your work..HR can never be phoned,just leave a msg/no callback...you will always be unhappy with your future here

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Voicing your opinion only alienates you

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In manufacturing,OHSA would shut them down for the things they physically routinely expect of you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Delivery driver,wrong routes on wrong days, sometime full truck,no help,and favoritism runs rampide

No organization, management walks around and say they care but refuse to do anything to change the culture of low moral. The whole place is just lip service, nothing changes. It is how it is, thats there motto even though there are plenty of changes to be implemented to have better productivity and safer work evnironment. People there want to work but not do things the hard way, and when management repeatedly tells you to do it the hard way and you know there is a better way it makes for a horrible place to work.

learning curve for products and how to handle them was steeper than i imagined it would be.  other warehouse workers were on the surface friendly, but made comments about my work that lead to write up.  felt like an outsider because i was the new guy (most of the warehouse had worked together for over 5 years,  and knew each other's families.   if you weren't part of their crowd,  treatment wasn't quite fair.  my direct supervisor was good, drivers were good.  but the over all warehouse atmosphere was not at all.

The company should decide if it wants to serve the distribution or construction and building contracting industry.  Serving both is contradictory, limiting and in many ways counterproductive,

- Current Boise manager lacks basic and essential management skills

- Is a micromanager
- Does not consider employee input or value others opinions
- Lacks transparency
- Antagonizes employees, sales personnel and customers
- Disrespectful to incoming delivery drivers
- WILL CURSE YOU OUT!
