Specialty-Produce

Specialty Produce is a fast paced, high energy environment. It services restaurants, caterers, and hotels as well as being open for the general public to come in and shop for their produce needs. It is owned by three brothers and really has a sense of that family commitment company wide. It is a team oriented operation that  relies on the cross utilization of employees to help where needed. Overall this is an excellent company to work for!!!

Place is fast paced but kind of laid back at the same time. Pay is horrible even though you do a lot and work really hard. You can ask for a day off and you’d be lucky if you get it approved, you are better off just calling out. A lot of preference. I wouldn’t recommend this place only to build a resume to get a better paying job doing deliveries. Most people work 5 days a week but you can do a lot of overtime, you have to be a really good worker to work 6 days a week.

● Overall
I worked here for over 12 years! Wonderful place to work! While working there, I was Supervisor for the Call Center, Operations Manager, Order taker, Data entering, Assignment of orders to pack, Assign routes to Drivers, Schedule Drivers and short drivers.

A typical day at work would be slow for the first two house (5-7pm) then by the time it pick it, I was constantly making sure to get all our clients orders right and all the invoices correct then me and a co worker would switch assigning packers to different locations and what restaurants in that area that they had to get all the food to the right place and the right product.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was free food and produce but I don't know about now.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Work load was too much all the time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Rude management racist coworkers unfair work loads

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of running lifting pushing over 50-200lbs

A beautiful day at Specialty was interacting with talented executive chefs and being attentive to their needs and concerns regarding the product they purchase.
Learned route management for timely delivery.
Management was excellent in every aspect from  training to maintaining bobtail trucks.

Speed was 80% of the job. It was about being fast and efficient. we broke down so many loads in one day and stock and received orders all while doing it. At the end of the day you would feel good about all the work you accomplished in one day.

It's a horrible environment, they allow dr**g use. if your not family or a friend of family they treat you like dirt. management doesn't care about you and turns their backs on you when they should do their jobs.

No clear management and the ones that are in charge are very childish and lazy. No job security or positive anything. Very passive agressive throw you under the bus type managers here.   If you are related to the owners or a family friend you have it made here if not, it is chaotic.

Usually put overtime everyday, standing on your feet and constantly lifting heavy items for most of your shift. Days are usually set, only the people that have seniority in the company get weekends off.
