TeamOne Logistics

The work is simple on the mind, hard on the body. Lots of lifting, pulling and sweating in the warehouse and trailers. It's not so bad once you get used to it. If you work at other package handling/loading jobs, you would feel right at home. 

Now for the bad part:

They are terribly equipped. The rollers that they use to get boxes into trailers are bad. They get snagged often, they break often, and they require extra staffing just so someone can push boxes into the trailer. Next is they use stand up fans to blow into the trailers. Many dont work and they aren't that effective since they cant be pointed directly into the trailers. Which means you are left with very poor circulation in an often times very hot trailer working your tail off. The lights that point into the trailers are all broken. They need to be tied with a string just to keep them pointed up. This means extra time wasted setting up.

Not efficient. This place double handle and sometimes triple handles boxes. What I mean by this is that they will put a box on the conveyor, pull it off because they dont have a trailer for it. Stage it. Then when a trailer finally gets into the bay door, put it up on the conveyor again. Sometimes if there are a lot of boxes for that trailer, they have to stage it again...and on and on. Solution would be to get trailers onto the bay doors more quickly. (We once waited for a trailer for 3 days).

Bad management that micro manages the employees and the leads into the ground. The turnover rate is, by far and away, the fastest I have ever seen. Some leave because of the physicality of the job. But a lot get fired. Some of them deserve it due to the seriousness of the rule they broke, but many lose their jobs due to not meeting the speed they outline (190 boxes an hour). 190 an hour isnt so bad on paper. Except the boxes are often very large - so they take a little more time to load. They have a 'occurence' policy where if you get X amount of occurrences, you are fired. This is fine for things like attendance issues. But they use them for performance issues as well. They frankly dont give enough time for people to adjust to this type of work. They train you how to load for roughly 6 days and if you aren't fast, they start sending you home. You can only be sent home 3 times. Your 4th is basically termination. You cant miss boxes on the conveyor. If you do, they will breath down your neck. This goes for anything really. They'll breath down your neck if you do even the slightest thing wrong. 

That's about it. The building they are in at this location is a retailers. Meaning TeamOne doesnt own it, so they are subject to the retailers rules as well. It is basically a distribution center. TeamOne ships out these products to UPS and to the retailers stores.

This place can be improved if they wall mounted their fans and lights to point into the trailers. Find better rollers. Give employees more time to settle in before you punish them for output speed. Cool it with the micro-managing. Reevaluate frivolous rules that lead to occurrences. And take a hard look at the way that you are running the operation that leads to such high turnover. It is quite extraordinary that no one above this management team has noticed.

The work is relatively easy in terms of procedures. Its exacerbated by terrible management that constantly bicker with each other about who is right and how their coworker is an idiot and wrong. 

The company who we ship out for also called the customer cares very little about how we are treated while in their facility by their employees or the deteriorating state of the equipment we are required to use in order to ship out products.

There is no such thing as job security at this location, many ways of having your assignment termniated as it is put. 

if you like to work hard and be rewarded or acknowledged for your efforts dont work here, constant reminders of how fortunate you are for receiving a paycheck and a metaphoricap pat on the head by a supervisor are your only rewards.


Currently their has been no senior leads for over a month now which has only made arguments between management worse with no resolution in sight.

The only benefit i have found is your coworkers are really cool and helpful, but with such a high turnover rate its unlikely they'll be around for more than a few weeks.

The pay was good and it was typical warehouse work. The biggest issue is the boss. He is so out of touch with the operation it would be laughable it he didn't treat his employees like garbage. He will talk to associates in a condescending manner, degrade them while standing within earshot of them, and displays the most blatant favoritism that i have ever witnessed.  He has cut the staff to a skeleton crew but has unrealistic expectations. It is always the Leads fault regardless of the number of callouts or an error in another department. It will always be your fault and nothing you can do will ever be good enough. He constantly rewrites policy to suit his needs and has blatantly violated labor laws by making leads conduct work during breaks as well as lunch. He will routinely make people report to work with less than the mandated 8 hours between shift from the labor law. His supervisors are complicit in all this and regardless of complaints nothing changes. He will also retaliate for any little thing and will actively try to fire an associate for any perceived slight or challenge to his authority. He will routinely make everyone work overtime without warning even though he is aware of it weeks before. This is without a doubt, the worst job i have ever had due solely to the management

TeamOne Logistics is one of the most exceptional companies for growth opportunities and career potential. From the moment you’re hired on the company makes it very clear that it not only wants you to be invested in the company’s success, it’s also fully invested in YOUR success as well. This was the first time I’ve ever experienced that at a company I’ve worked for and let me tell you, it’s been a game changer.

Before TeamOne I don’t think I ever considered my own career path and where I saw myself/expected to be in the next 5, 10, 20+ years. My manager helped me see that I needed to start spending time considering exactly that and when I came back and told him my plans for where I saw myself going here at TeamOne, he immediately helped me create a gameplan to start working on so I could achieve my goals.

Well, I just achieved the first one (get promoted to Warehouse Lead) and figured I’d come on here and write a review to let other people know what they can expect and what they can get out of a job here. If I had known this kind of experience was possible sooner, I wouldn’t have wasted my time anywhere else.

The only good thing about working this location, is the pay. Other than that get ready to work in an unstable environment. Management here is so horrible and they have expectations so high that at times they can’t be met. As a lead here anything that happens will basically be your fault even on your days off. The manager here will exploit loop-holes in California’s labor laws to meet his quota while not caring about his workers. If you dare try to prove a point to the manager or bring up a concern, well then hopefully luck will be on your side. In his point of view, he will always be right and you will never have a sense of gratitude. Retaliation and punishment from management are basically a norm here. You’ll never have a set schedule, due to the exploitation from management, you won’t even get a second break on an 8-hour shift. Additionally, teamwork here is no where to be found so your basically on your own. One rule here that you must follow to succeed here is basically “It’s your job that will be lost, or theirs.”

DO NOT COME TO WORK HERE AS A LEAD! YOU WILL BE OVERWORKED AND STRIPPED OF YOUR WORK LIFE BALANCE. Leads run the facility with little to no experience, Senior Lead is constantly harassed as to why things are not running according to plan. Even when stuff is out of his or her control. Manager as a dictator that oversees operations will he comes in for 4 hours, trades stocks on his laptop, and goes home.Senior lead takes the blame for issues out of his/her control as well, and is sometimes FORCED to work while on lunch in order to catch up on constant hassle of work. If you come work as a loader it is not as bad, still might lose the work live balance, but no where near as harsh as what the leads are put through. Would not recommend working here unless desperate for a hard working labor intensive job. Pay does not compensate for the hard labor and effort put into the job by the individual, both as a lead and package handler.

Every small incident like if you broke a $3 light you might as well hit a loaded school bus they treat it the same. No dash cams allowed and they never see it from drivers side. Work related issues are you are not compensated for stops that take a long time and work but still the same stop pay. I have had very minor problems with pay checks being wrong only a few times.  Never expect anything for a bonus they mastered a way to make sure its unattainable and no Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas bonus, once i got some livesavers tho. Plan on a annoying amount of saftey meetings and computer tests and saftey rides. Paperwork is excessive and unnecessary alot is very redundant along with using scanners on routes. I cant complain about the pay im well over 70k for 50 some hrs a week.

This guy just shows up and sits on a chair looking at spreadsheets to ensure he meets all quotas. He sure does not want to go above labor costs. This guy does not give a sit about you. All you are is a loader and you are making him rich. The UPS Standards they place at WS do not even come close to what UPS does at their own distribution centers. If you do not meet the golden rule standard of loading 225 boxes per hour you are given numerous opportunities to retrain not be reprimanded and sent home or terminated. The best thing I liked working was the hard word nd challenges that came with it. Also your coworkers were real friendly and some leads were graciously respectful and supportive...except for the main guy who were the yellow safety vest with ups on the back of it. You know who you are...you need to be replaced. Thank you

Let's just put it this way, dont waste your time going for the money. As they say, money does not equal happiness and as you go on with the fight, it only pushes you away. This company has no turnover rate from leader positions down to employees. It's quite astonishing as the company they are sourcing for is William Sonoma and they have a high rate of up to 22 years being the most. Says something about the company. Basically you would be working for TeamOne, which is under UPS, which is under William Sonoma. I know for a fact both UPS and WS are excellent with their care for their employees.
