Tankersley-Food-Service

Tankersley food service management is trash! At the same time they are working with what the company is providing for them to do there job. There system is out dated, which stops a lot of growth. The routing is supposedly done through a third party company and someone in the office that assign the route. You might drive 2/3 hours to your first stop than 30 mins to the next. You will see all of your state by the time Tankersley fire you or you quit! Drivers are the last on the pole to be heard but hey who listens to the people that actually delivers the product and makes the company money?!?! Instead of listening to the people in the office who never drove a truck! If they update how the routing is done and the communication, it would be a better company! I’ve learn to ignore management, do my job and go home, they like to hear themselves talk. Instead of putting the money in one man pocket, put money back into the company! Watch how your employees will stay around longer! Your drivers would drive for the company longer! Be are who you talk to and about! It is a family owned business. You will lose your position depending what’s said and to who 

This used to be a good company. However, a new Transportation manager took over. He changed everything. More cases per route, less delivery time and added more stops. They load it like Sysco, stops 1 are on the bottom and the rest on top, so you’ll spent 5 minutes breaking it down. Not worth it. You can get away with anything here, including cursing customers out and being disrespectful, being late, clocking in early, you name it. They won’t fire you. You will only make 40 hours a week. You’ll pick up lots of cash on your route, sometimes 3-4K and carry it around, sounds real safe and then have to get a money order after your roue. They told us they’d fix the cash pick up when we started and never did. All lies! They cut way back on overtime. Good luck on advancing, you’re stuck on a truck forever. Ignore the benefits, no safety bonus, no career growth. Don’t work here. 

Was lied to about the amount  of hours I would get weekly . 
40-44 hours max . Management would put you off of work to ensure you wouldn’t get over those hours . Routes were awful . Covering entire state and not afforded enough time to complete the route . Equipment is poor . Get told do the best you can with the poor equipment. Job will be held over your head by the new director or transportation if you do not conform to what he wants to do regardless if it’s ethical or morally correct. Overall I would not recommend this company . This brand is a dying one in my region and frankly needs to go . It simply can not compete with its competitors nor seems to want to . The systems in place for routing sales and transportation are stuck in the stone age which inherently prevents its own growth . When given simply solutions to fix minor to major logistical issues it’s ignored because your opinion or thought does not Warrant their time . 

I started working at Tankersley in November 2020 as a Territory Manager in Oklahoma City, OK. I met with the VP of Sales in Arkansas and he was very professional and explained the job to me, a little about the company, and what to expect during your work day.

 Unfortunately, due to COVID I am no longer there as I couldn't meet with clients and make the sales needed to sustain my lifestyle. But I have nothign bad to say about this company. They're honest, straight forward, and really just a breath of fresh air in the toxic cesspool of job-searching in general. 
If youre offered a position here, take it. Even if its a paycut. the work-life balance here is amazing and you will not meet more people willing to help you anywhere else.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the people that work there

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you know how to do more than one thing you never know what you are going to be doing from day to day. The attendance policy sucks. If you get Covid and you follow the cdc guidelines they count those five days against you so you can only miss two more days. Management sucks. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is terrible culture is even worse. There is no truer culture there other than putting business before anything even if it isn’t right. They have problems with rodents in the warehouse. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful not enough staff to run efficiently and it is just a rotating door of people being hired and quitting

Don’t expect to have a life if you work here.  Showing up everyday, on time does not guarantee you a job. They judge you off a broken pulling system. Cheaters are the only ones that do get ahead. No matter how many times one complains about the unfairness of the environment, it is always swept under the rug as if it never happened. If you’re not 100% for the company you’re not  wanted at the company.  This job is for single folk only.  If you have a family be prepared to give them up. The management team has no idea what they’re doing. They will pay good if you’re willing to sell your soul. Even then you’re not good enough. They always reminded you how replaceable you are.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent communications and small business feel. They take care of those who work hard and appreciate the value that you provide the business. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some routing issues and loading issues. But nothing that's a deal breaker. Certainly better than the competition.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Overall the culture seems healthy and foot forward. Management is understanding and doesn't believe in micromanagement. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Do my job effectively and go home. I'm in charge of my own success. I'm given the tools, it's my job to use them.

This company will micromanage you to death.  If you clock in a min early that’s a write up, if you don’t fill out paperwork how they want or call in shorts that’s also a write up. You won’t get a lot of overtime bc they will have you off multiple days but work you 14hrs+ on other days. Lots of favoritism here, made up bonuses that no one knows about until bonuses are given out.  If you want to skip around on your route due to pour loading/routing you have to call for permission first. The routing is terrible Here. you’ll pass stops multiple times before you deliver there. Overall Don’t work here unless u like to be micromanaged. 

Pay is fair. You work 4 days a week and have 1 day off during the week you never know what day you will have off during the week no set schedule. Transportation manager is trying to cut overtime out. There's alot of animosity towards the Transportation manager for doing that. The night time warehouse has no clue how to build pallets especially the dry and cooler order selectors no improvement has been made there. It's not that bad of a place to work as a route driver just expect long days and no set routes Management was always nice to me. Just little things that need to be fixed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The inside sales manager, Salessa. She is great to work for!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The job was not too stressful at all. Occasionally you are hit with unrealistic expectations, but it's never been unbearable.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lax and friendly in the inside sales team. The outside sales reps got a lot of special treatment and great experiances, whilst the office people didn't, which I never found fair.
