I can't speak for States Logistics Services as a whole, but, as the location I work at is concerned, beware of false information and empty promises... If you enjoy working long days or nights and working most weekends, then this is the job for you! If you are considering taking a position as an order picker or forklift driver, your schedule will consist of 12 hour days, Monday through Friday, and giving up most Saturdays, working between 5 and 8 hours. If you are looking for a different role in the company, then BEWARE of bait and switch offers of employment. I interviewed and was hired for a "Shipping and Receiving clerk" position with the company. I have spent nearly 15 years as receiving associate in previous companies. The day I was to officially sign on with the company, they told me the position of shipping and receiving clerk, "doesn't exist yet, so the only way to get you on board is to sign on as a forklift driver." It was also explained to me that my schedule may require having to stay a little longer than normal as overtime might be required from time to time, and I might need to help the forklift drivers on occasion, due to shortages on coverage or heavy volume of inbound orders... Despite this, four months had passed by with no update on when I would train for the position I was hired for, only to find out they hired someone else for my position . Had I known this from the beginning, I would have never signed with the company. Now, having gone through this experience, I can honestly say, either I'm a victim of a bait and switch scheme, or, a victim of ineptitude in management. Either way, be careful if you are hired by this company. You might not work the position you were hired for. 

This company is all related. You only advance or last if you are blood related to someone in management or someone who has worked there for 10+ years or so. The management says they understand the issues of the departments but the management does absolutely nothing to fix or solve or make anything fair between one worker and another. For instance, one worker related to management could be shopping online all day and barely do any bit of work and another could come in and put in amazing work but will get let go because of attendance (they also put you on "warnings" with no way to get rid of them, even if the situations are years old). HR is able to bully you, and the company doesnt follow all their own policies in their employee handbook... (i.e. dress code policy, time off for your children's events, Covid pay) My lawyer says its because they are family owned and can call the shots. So they most definitely don't like when employees stand up for themselves and their rights! The team I worked with was great though. But we all felt the same way about management. Nothing ever got better at this company, only worse. Its a joke and was the most unprofessional place I've worked for. 

Days are not too bad. Load and unload trucks, receive inbounds into warehouse and label product. Pull orders or putaway product if loading and unloading is slow. Co workers are great and everyone gets along very well. Management is great as well. Very understanding guys/girls. The hardest part of the job is the heat, there is no insulation and it is very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. If you work very hard, they do try and reward you to a certain extent. Maybe allowing a little extra break or easier work for the next night. Another downfall is employees train new employees. Promotions are based off personal relationships rather than who really deserves or have earned the promotion. We have team leads but they are in the office all the time and not out on the floor training and supervising like their job entails. Pay isn't that great compared to every other warehouse but benefits are good and they have an esop program. Where employees get a percentage of the companies stocks annually. Overall great company to work for.

Starting with my interview, the manager opened up by sharing that the office was a Human Resources nightmare. It absolutely was. Between favoritism, working off the clock to make impossible deadlines and avoiding unapproved overtime, being gaslit by the manager, degraded, and brushed off by HR, it was the worst experience for a young professional. The work itself was not hard, it was how the work load was distributed and managed. Some people would work their 8 hours and be done, others would be stressed from the time they walked in to the time they left after hours. The company has decent benefits and is employee owned, but that could never make up for the fact that myself and others were treated poorly and made to feel wrong for speaking up when something was unfair or wrong. When it came to promotions and moving up, my immediate supervisor absorbed any and all positions that opened. I had interviewed for a position and 3 months later when I didn't hear back, I reached out about it, only to be told I misunderstood the interview and that it was simply my performance review. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing about this place is good. They claim they will give u raises but find any excuses to not give them to u. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
How they run the warehouse they don’t work as a team each shift trains people a different way. Having only 1 restroom in the whole warehouse only 2 water dispensers in the whole warehouse and both of them are in the front by the breakrooms. Warehouse is also dirty I’ve seen roaches and spiders and big rats as well as a bird 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They over work u thinking that u are a robot and don’t get tired. Then to top it off they don’t even tell u of u working 8-10hrs till the last minute when u ready to go 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I’m a forklift operator but they have me picking cases while we get payed less than the case pick specialist lol but yet we do double or triple work

clock in on time, arrive to forklift area, check forklift prepare orders from starting with ASP orders. after a day at work you learn to improve your working speed and to be more organized or the next day. Management always waiting for you when you clock in to explain you your daily task and or if you have questions. Every coworkers and supervisor knows I like to help others so I get really along with all of them. They know that if they need some extra help with anything related to work and I have time, I'll help them. Growing up professionally is one of the hardest thing that I face at work because I like challenges or better opportunities and this area do not promises you that much hope. Able to complete my tasks and knowing my supervisors are satisfied is the most enjoyable part of the job.  

NOT AN ORGANIZED COMPANY. HR and Supervisors have NO COMMUNICATION....They make a lot of promises but never keep their word....They hire you, you go thru the Background/training/certification and then they start calling you off, They tell you that the System is down and that is slow. But when you ask them if anything is wrong they just tell you no , will just see you tomorrow. They do that for about a week and then you call HR (To see what is going on)and they're like oh there full in the shift, so we don't need no one else. I mean then why do you have a bunch of ADS saying you need people and then just let them go... HR does not know what there doing as well as the Supervisors. There is a lot of Favoritism as well. If your looking for a place where you can grow within the company as well as your just looking for a job cause you need one. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE!!!THEY WILL WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

Pay is painfully low with no promise of getting a raise unless you are friends with management. Hard work gets ignored. The harder you work, the more they use and abuse you. 

Favoritism is rampant, especially shift favoritism. I worked second shift and our shift was expected to do most of the work and overtime while first shift essentially did nothing but waste payroll. This was a commonly known fact and even joked about among management like it was nothing.

My main frustration with this place is how unappreciated they make you feel. Like i stated previously, there is almost no hope of getting a raise no matter how hard you work or how long you've been there. You have to know people for that to happen.

A typical day at work was before getting started we always had to make sure we had our pen,scanner, and box cutter. Those were the maine things before anything. Then i would go get a cart to put all my orders on. I learned how to move at a fast paste and get my orders done everyday. Working as a team was a big accomplishment. The employees and the whole staff were incredible they were very nice and understanding. The hardest part of the job was being able to stand a long period of time. Then after a month youd get use to it. Therefore i did get use to it and now i can stand for hours of the day. I enjoyed working with everyone getting the task done was amazing because it felt good to finish what youve started.

The worst company I’ve worked for, the ratings speak for themselves. A typical day at work is working your tail off for your whole shift and when you finally think you’re done, the managers pull out more work last minute. They promise a raise every time but in reality it’s really only the favorites getting what they want. Only way to get moved up is if you kiss everyone’s behind. Bunch of kids stuck in adult bodies work here, managers never call you out on all the good you’ve done, they just focus on the bad. Lots of dirty workers who do crazy things and never get caught cause the managers never leave their office. I do not recommend working here AT ALL.
