I was brought on for what turned out to be a 2-month contract.

During my time there, I would bring in computers that had been ordered and image them based on their model so that they were ready to either go to a new office setup in Canada, or replace an older workstation for employees in my office.

I was given a spreadsheet containing employee names, their old device name as well as any additional job-specific software.  My job was to add RAM or custom-build machines based on provided hardware, apply the company image, install any specific software and then reach out to the user (if they were in my office location) and arrange a time to physically switch out their workstation.

When I got there, I would bring an external HDD to copy over any files that weren't pulled down by their Windows profile, uninstall HP bloatware, make sure all the user's logins worked and browser preferences were set.  Then I would bring back their old workstation to the IT area for a few weeks in case anything needed to be pulled from the old machine.  After that, the old workstations would go to the recycling area to be picked up later.

For the workstations that went to Canada, I would complete everything above, but instead re-pack the computer in its box and note the serial number and user name where it was assigned.  Another team would create the postage and ship the machines off.

In addition to helping out with the occasional deskside ticket, The role of device setup was primarily mine to do, but I was assisted mainly by 1 other tech.  There were also 3 local support techs who were almost always available and ready to help me if I had any questions. We were in a cubicle area with our manager across the walkway from us.

The atmosphere was extremely easy-going and low-stress.  The whole team would sometimes bring in lunch or order pizza, and our manager would come over just to chat during lunch and toward the end of the day.  Even in my short time there, I feel like there was an effort made to reach out and get to know me and my hobbies and I felt very welcome.

Aside from the fact that I live nearly an hour away and gas ended up being $35 a week, I really feel hardpressed to find anything negative to say about that position.

Company started off nice, offering many perks/benefits when I first started. 2 months later they ask how they can retain more employees, because they could not seem to keep them. Then they short sided us all by eliminating more and more of the benefits we rely on. No more company sponsored lunches for employee appreciation. Even though the Company as a whole likes to show is our numbers and see where we stand as a whole, projecting that with tariffs that they would not meet goal. But in fact they were under budget and over sales. They infact keep demanding more and more, and moving their goal posts on lines per hour, then they assign to the people they like the areas that can achieve those goals while the rest of us are sol.
The less you put into work and higher up in management, the more you will make and be comfortable working here. 
It was a decent place to work at. But unless you are a bootlicker and enjoy constant let down and demotion of the benefits you were hired with. Than this might not be for you. But hey we all need a job right? Current employer 

This is a company that sells you on the in house daycare, company kitchen, Starbucks, gym and on site health clinic. And if you work on any shift other than first, the kitchen and Starbucks will be closed or are about to close when you come to work (if you come in 30 min early). I will tell you, they (what I would call senior leadership) don't care about your work life balance (they'll say they do, then you work 55 hrs a week and they ask you to come in on Saturdays). There were a few like me who pushed and pushed for changes and were constantly pushed back on making changes. TVH is also behind when it comes to technology, infrastructure and process compared to the other places I worked. When I first started I was mind blown how far behind they are. They are so out of touch with there staff, they which I prided myself on being the opposite. There is a reason there are so many poor reviews....believe them. Stay away. 

There is a reason TVH is always hiring. Their management is a joke which keeps their employees constantly frustrated and overworked. It's one thing to work a ton of overtime because there is a lot of work to do and another thing to work a ton of overtime due to drama or a lack of communication and organization between departments. I had numerous managers, in fact I would report to sometimes 3 different people depending on what portion of my job I was referring to. Managers there don't just contradict each other, they also contradict themselves. Employees are typically running around like chickens with their heads cut off, arguing about how to do things because they are all told different instructions for procedures by different supervisors. There is so much tension in that building, you can cut it with a knife.

My everyday job  was to unload all bulk items with stand up forklift and place them in the right locations for the first 5 hours of the shift. The last 3 hours of the day i was in charge of the manifesting area which i also took pride in and made sure everything was shipped out properly and on time. 10 yrs in the warehouse field i have learned most company's want consistency, accuracy and last but not least employees to be on time. Management with me over the years has never been an issue we've seem to always have an mutual respect among each other which i value greatly. The hardest part about jobs over the years is when us employees are not on the same page. I feel it makes work more difficult then things really are. But the most enjoyable part is the great things the company has to offer us to show their appreciation in the hard work we put in.

Im not sure where these reviews on here are from, but this company needs definite improvement.  
-Training consists of sitting and watching someone work for a week blasting through screens, and asking at the end "do you get it?" no. nobody does. 
-There are over 50 programs to use, and the provided training "manual" is outdated, and missing valuable information. 
-You are a robot, doing the same work, with the same people, in the same spot,  only to receive the same recognition (none) regardless of how well/terrible you did. 

ProTip: dont apply for a job that is usually always hiring, that means people are consistently quitting or being fired, or very rarely the company is expanding.

I work at the warehouse for 12 years and 6 mos and they don’t let you move up they have pets you can’t talk to know your employees they watch you take breaks and don’t give you time to get up from your break manager sucks they also have a puppet she don’t know how to run a warehouse period or talk to employees it’s a bad place to work for you get a 4 cents raise or less than that and if you are a female you get treated different he makes you work hard while the men have it easy I wish I would have left early I put up with a lot of stuff people in their stick together to get you out you can’t trust the hr lady she is poor when it comes to that it only 20 people with three mangers that treat people like they are beneath them

Working at TVH overall was good. Some people who work there complain a lot. But that's not fault of the company. They have lots of initiatives for the employees' well being. I had the understanding that TVH genuinely does care about the employees which is awesome. The culture depends on which location you are at. (I worked in Grayslake.) generally people are nice and resourceful if you have a question. Big part of the staff has been with the company for several years (some even decades) which one could view as a good or a bad thing. Overall I would recommend TVH as a good place to work. I miss several aspects of my previous role there.

Day-to-day tasks are never the same, which keeps things exciting. One day I may be at my desk all day working on emails or analyzing parts, but the next day I could be helping with an employee event or gift. I feel like I am consistently learning when I am in the office. I see new challenges within each project and have a manager who supports and encourages me. Additionally, I have met many friendly faces in other departments that have expanded my knowledge of the industry, taught me company processes and allowed me to do my job to the best of my ability. 

This place has the potential to be great yet its management doesn’t manage. All the good workers are over worked while the slackers are left be to do whatever they choose. With excuses of everyone is an asset to the team. Recently we had an bad  snow/ice storm lasted 3 days and was advised by officials no movement unless necessary all deliveries was cancels cause no routes yet the company only one employee shows up yet they point everyone for attendance saying because they were open we still should have been there. Mind you without deliveries are anything else open nothing can be done. Basically our life’s and safety doesn’t matter only checking orders
