ShipBob

A typical day at Shipbob would be clocking in at 5:00 a.m., getting your ipod and scanner and grabbing a cluster cart to pick orders to be given to the pack department and from there it is on its way to the customers.  Before Shipbob's, I did not know what picking was all about, but now that I have learned how, I would not want to do anything else.  Even though I have to pick 25 orders in a hour, it is amazing to see how far you can push yourself and how fast you can actually move in order to get these things done. This is a job where you work and get a workout all at the same time, but working with Shipbob's is a lot of fun.  Management at Shipbob is like having your BFF working right next to you.  From the Pick Leader to the CEO, upper management makes you feel at home. As long as you do what you are paid to do and in a timely manner, management has no problems with you. Management doors are always open to its employees and nothing is too short nor too big for them to deal with. Arianna, the HR Director is TOTAL AWESOME....She is one of the person that always smiling and she always have time for us no matter what. If there is something that you don't understand you will not leave her office until you do. Basically, everyone at Shipbob is one big happy family, from the CEO all the way down to the cleaning people.  Whenever we work on a Saturday or a Holiday, they make sure that they order food and feed us as well as giving us Holiday pay.  They make being away from your family worthwhile.I think the hardest part of my job would have to be waiting for a forklift driver to come and bring something down off the top shelf for me to pick and they are taking all day and making my numbers drop.  I most enjoyable part of my job is actually picking more than the 25 orders in a hour and having my co-workers compete against me.  We make each other better.

For anyone that is looking for employment and you come across an advertisement for Ship[bob, you would be crazy to pass this up.  It is such a wonderful place to work.  If you have never work a job where you had fun while making money, then this is the place you would want to work at because that is actual what we do all day (have fun and make money).

This is the type of job that is easy to get in but impossible to advance. I had one manager that was involved, however his management skills left everyone on edge. The other three were ineffectual, none of them knew how to do the jobs of the leads or associates. Leads and associates were the first ones in the building, managers would come in late in the morning(around 10). As soon as they were there they would complain about the pace of the associates and would leave as soon as they could. Managers did not know how to balance associates schedules, for example, there would be 5 associates one day, 2 the next, leaving the leads to scramble for help, I would often see her running around trying to help her associates. This would be understandable if they didn't have to fulfill the sam amount of orders everyday, however they did. They would send their leads to go to other departments to ask for people to come help, instead of doing their job as managers and assign people. They had extremely high expectations of other yet multiple excuses for themselves. The building is messy and unorganized. 

Their PTO system was ridiculous, depending on the hours you worked, you would gain PTO hours. Many companies are the same, however, they would max you out at 48 hours and would not let you know. 

Shipbob is incredibly unappreciative. I strongly believe that in order to succeed in any job you must put in 110% of your effort and be a part of a team, if you want to stay in a job going with the flow is important, however Shipbob would never appreciate or give any warnings at all(extremely poor communication skills). They really are not worth the semi-mediocre pay.

This is a true start up going through the motions to become the next big thing. We have landed big clients, and we have a lot of work. Are we perfect? No. But we try to get there everyday.
 Management has an true open door policy for anyone to walk through and either ask questions, point out concerns, and even vent when something outside is affecting how you work. They are supportive.
 But, there is A LOT to do. We have a lot of work. I dont feel we are as strict as most places, and if you come here to do your job and do it right, you are recognized. 
 We hold company lunches, give away raffles, engage employees and set up programs for development. 
 With a network that goes across the country, you can move to other areas if there are positions needed to be filled, or if there is a position that is open for promotional opportunity. 
 Benefits: health, dental vision, you cant beat. Its the best price for single people as well as for family coverage. 
 I think the best part of my experience so far here is the fact you can have access to senior management and executive management for help. They are very busy building the company, but somehow, they always find a way to make time for people. 
 If you have some grit, are driven and focused, you should come aboard as we are always looking for team players and motivated individuals.

This place has high potentials to become something so much grater.The CEO are very inspiring. Work is easy. The buzz kill about this place is management. They lack of empathy and consideration for their employees. There are too many managers with different opinions. The week I started  I remembered a manager jumping up on a table and yelling at the packers about something. I thought that was unprofessional. There leads are hard working people that is the only thing they got going for them. At least the leads will work along side with you when they can and is very tentative. Management plays favoritism. There are no rooms for advancement unless you are a favorite. It dose not matter how long you been there or how good your work is there is no raise or promotions unless you are a favorite. Management lack the ability to see their mistakes because they are always correct, not matter what. When I went to my interview I was told so many good things. When I got there I was working late pass my shift, if I had to leave that was a point. We do not get PTO  or VTO but we do get paid sick time off, has to be requested 24 hours in advance with doctors note upon return.

this company says they care but they don’t. i told them people planned on quitting to go to another warehouse & they aren’t happy with company policies, of course management didn’t listen. now they’re making us work 10 hour mandatory days due to not having enough people to cover their workload. also making us work a weekend shift because the company is behind due to the snow so it’s the employees fault. i’ve brought up so many concerns to management & even the ceo, NOTHING was done. you get pointed for every single thing. once 8 points is reached, they walk you out. family members in the hospital? there’s a point if you leave. warehouse is a mess. your aunt/uncle that raised you passed away? no bereavement for you. that’s not your immediate family so here’s a point as well. have a doctor’s appointment without taking approved time off for it in advance? don’t bother bringing a doctors note, you get a point anyway. management is a mess, no communication. no one has an answer for you. getting an answer is like traveling through a grape vine. good luck on finding out something. & good luck if you choose to take a chance on this place. trust me, you’ll leave miserable.

They will hire new management who have no clue how to do their employees job and their own so your constantly having to teach management how to do things here. HR is a joke. They don't have a permanent HR person to help employees out with their issues. This place shows favoritism to some of their employees when it comes to their attendance point system. Employees hardly last here because they either quit or get fired over very picky reasons. Ive seen people go in work very hard do overtime bust their butt and then they find something picky to fire them over.They bring in new temps almost everyday so your constantly having to train a new person because the temps don't last and if they do they don't know how to do their job correctly.That is also brought up to management daily but they do nothing about it causing more stress to the job.The job is not stable you can be there one day and gone the next.

I worked at ShipBob in North Aurora as an order picker, and my experience was not very positive. The job itself was straightforward – picking and packing customer orders – and the pace was manageable if you stayed focused. However, the biggest challenge was the management. Communication from supervisors was inconsistent, and at times it felt like expectations were unclear or constantly changing. There wasn’t much support or guidance when questions came up, which made the environment stressful. Management also seemed more focused on pushing numbers than on treating employees fairly or listening to concerns. While some of my coworkers were great and made the shifts easier, the lack of strong leadership and organization took away from the overall experience. I believe the company could improve by investing more in training, clearer direction, and respect for employees.


A typical day- Come in with a group stretch and huddle. Go to your area and start your day off. Managers (not only leads) come to speak and help you whenever they can. You’ll take your breaks and lunches without any issues. Come back and enjoy the rest of your shift. 
I’ve learned so much within the past 3 weeks. From training on the job to helping with my professional life. Learning work life balance as well. 
Management- They are very helpful . When they notice you have potential they try to grow that within the company. Very positive, patience, and respectful. 
Culture- WONDERFUL. All positivity. Happy faces. 
Hardest part- the only thing I can think of is the only water on the floor rule. 
Most enjoyable- knowing I have a team that will help when needed,  very supportive, and consistent. 

So glad I made the move to work here. Co-Founders and Senior Leaders are driven, passionate, and care about the people first. Culture is sky-high and the majority of people want what is best for the company. I truly feel there is uncapped potential here for those who are in it for the right reasons. There has been tremendous growth over the last 5 years and it doesn't look like its slowing down anytime soon.

A lot of workers and even temps have come in and out complaining about the same thing with a manager or an employee and nothing is done about. Sometimes managers will dump work on you when it isn’t your job to be doing in the first place and you have other stuff to do. There’s no pto or paid holidays. They will cut you if you’re about to go    overtime. Some people are really lazy or just suck at their job and the managers  don’t really do anything about it so there’s no point of trying to be an overachiever and trying your best. It’s hard to move up in the company and they don’t give raises. You’re not allowed to take off, if you do you still get pointed for it so if you want to take a vacation, you will be pointed everyday for it.
