Temco Logistics

Poor work place they promise you that piece rate is the way to go and it's not. what makes it so bad is you really don't get paid for everything you do. Temco has so many requirements they want you to do. For instance you have to install washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators for free. You get paid nothing to do them and sometimes it can take you a while to install those depending on the customer set up. Refrigerators are the toughest to not be paid to do, you are literally lifting up fridges that way about 400lbs and they are huge. Almost 95% of the time you have to completely strip the fridges to get them into the customers house. Also on the indeed app they advertise that you'll be installing more and driving less but that's not the case for the location I work at you drive all day and barley do any installs and the installs you do are ones you don't get paid for. We barely make over the bump up pay they have for us which is $225 for master techs and $175 a day for just techs. You work so many hours during the day if you do the math you are only getting like $17 an hour for master techs and for techs it even lower. Management at my location are clueless and don't know what they are doing they never give you a straight up answer and don't know anything at all. Don't work for this company if you want to do a bunch of free labor and lied to. Especially at the Fargo, ND location.

If you do a good job they’ll over work you to the point that you’ll start doing bad on your survey  scores and then they will have you on what they call standby. Meaning you have to show up but no guarantee that you’ll work unless someone calls off but when that happens you’ll for sure have a late start and you’ll never really spend time with family. If you live around the warehouse in Mesa it’s ok but if you live in phoenix the drive sucks for just 30$ stand by.  they lowered the pay for dishwashers and OTR installs. Managers have their own people that they give the closer routes to but when you start you’ll be out of town a lot and will usually get the further and heavier routes and when you ask if you can get a route closer to the warehouse they’ll start treating you like a piece of garbage or put you on stand by for weeks. Also if the flagstaff warehouse needs help they’ll tell you to get there at 4am pick up a truck drive to flagstaff pick up your route with 17-20 stops complete it and you won’t get back till 7-9pm. The hole time I was working here I had to train my partner for months and when he got to be a good helper they would take him away from me and give me someone else to train. Overall a bad work environment don’t believe me try it and like this post when you realized that what I’ve wrote on here is true. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The highlight of my experience working with TEMCO Logistics was the opportunity to provide seamless installation services and deliver exceptional customer satisfaction, ensuring a positive experience for clients.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most challenging aspect of working with TEMCO Logistics was navigating through traffic congestion and managing time-sensitive delivery schedules, which time to time created stressful situations in meeting tight deadlines.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I found the work environment at TEMCO Logistics to be exceptionally organized, friendly, and straightforward. Additionally, the pre-shift team huddles were truly phenomenal, fostering a sense of camaraderie and ensuring everyone was aligned and prepared for the day's tasks.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day at TEMCO Logistics was remarkably calm and enjoyable. My daily routine would begin by signing in, exchanging warm greetings with colleagues and managers, and savoring a cup of coffee. Following this, I would receive my route assignments for the day and diligently execute the delivery plan, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience.

Bad management. Inconsistent schedules. They excepted you to do 10-12 jobs a day but don’t take In account of the drive time especially here in Indiana. Driving 2 hours just to get to your first stop then expecting the techs to finish all the installs all within 10-12 hours is impossible in this part of Indiana. The don’t properly train the installers. Most of the master technicians couldn’t fully perform their jobs because they didn’t know how to install everything. Multiple technicians work over 14 hour days and are still expected to be at work the next day by 5 (and this is a dot job as well). They already had a few mass walk outs at the New Haven location since the opened up in February. They rushed the launch of this facility and didn’t fully train everyone. Report time was 5am and most of the techs wouldn’t get back til 6-7ish. They wanted everyone to work 6 day work weeks. The m codes were not explained to everyone properly so nobody knew exactly how we got paid. There’s a lot of miscommunication between Temco and their contractor Home Depot in regards of the install jobs. Your paperwork might just say it’s a drop off but Home Depot will tell customers that we would install it for free. So wouldn’t know how long that job is going to take now 

Working at Temco, you would have to deal with a lot of angry customers and drivers. From delivery team giving you push back, to customers yelling at you for not having their item on time. Calls would have to be under 3 minutes and 30 seconds. So trying to schedule an appointment, sending an email for requested time/truck, and customers explaining their situation, was a lot of stress. Especially when you had management getting mad cause the call is over the time. I did meet a lot of nice people at the office, and we all got along well. You were able to dress casually, and work schedule was semi flexible. I was promoted to the escalation team, but that was a horrible mistake. At one point, they had me taking three calls at a time. One on the computer, and two on the “corporate” phones. Most of the time working on the escalation team, was just sending emails after emails. I didn’t really resolve anything. My mental health also went down working here. I personally wouldn’t recommend a friend or family member here. It was fun in the beginning, but that dies out when you realize your input won’t make a difference, and you’re just buying face for the company. 

So let me start by saying I didn't stay very long at all because I received a better opportunity but let's talk about training first and the infamous 212 training they provide. First 2 days sit in a room on zoom with other people training around the us it's at your own pace you just pretty much watch some orientation videos same as a lot of other jobs. next day is the big on-site training day where they show you how to use the straps, do installations in their pre-made kitchen, and you gain some experience going up and down stairs and they teach how to use the phones sounds pretty good right? well, we didn't get any of that in Beaumont, the premade kitchen was falling apart didn't have any hands on with the hook ups because the of the condition that the kitchen was in. the phones didn't work at all so we couldn't see the demo of the interface they use. was not added to the time clock 4 days in. it's not by the hour its piece rate which isn't bad if you're quick. preach safety but you'll see no one cares no gloves or anything. basically, the whole training was flawed learned absolutely nothing and it's almost like they don't back up anything they try to sell you in the hiring/ training process.

Good job culture is vital for the success and well-being of any organization, and it can make a significant difference in employee satisfaction and productivity. A strong job culture fosters an environment where employees feel valued, respected, and motivated to perform at their best. It promotes open communication, collaboration, and a sense of belonging, which leads to higher job satisfaction and lower turnover rates.

Companies with a positive job culture often exhibit traits such as transparent leadership, opportunities for professional growth, work-life balance, and recognition of employee achievements. These elements contribute to a more cohesive and engaged workforce, ultimately driving better results for the organization as a whole. Furthermore, a supportive job culture can enhance creativity, innovation, and employee morale, leading to a more positive impact on customer satisfaction and the company's overall reputation.

In conclusion, good job culture is a cornerstone of a successful organization, and investing in it can yield substantial benefits for both employees and the company.

I worked at Temco for 2 months promised by supervisors I would get steady pay and be trained to become a master tech in a short period of time. I would go to work and the driver that was supposed to train me which were a couple different guys did not show me nothing they just wanted to work as fast as they could and installed appliances when they told me to just carry the appliances into the customers place. They would get tips every now and then put it in their pockets and not share anything with me when I’m the one that did the hard labor which was carry the appliances in and out of the customers houses. I would wake up every morning and drive to Temco thinking maybe I’ll get sent out and that happened only about 3 times a week so I wasted gas goin to work the days they made me wait sometimes 2 hours before they would even let me know if I was gonna get to work or not I worked there 2 months and grossed around 1100 dollars it’s a really unprofessional place and definitely unfair I would never recommend this job to anyone 

You learn nothing besides how to be a driver & deliver orders. Theyre not interested in teaching or developing others for better positions. Havent seen a driver advance yet. If you work hard and earn a pay raise they consider that the advancement & say you should be happy with it.
Management is poor & lacks communication. On the other hand theyre kind people and helpful when it comes to anything about completing a delivery. The Dispatcher is great and management has improved with taking care of drivers when we call in to dispatch with issues as well.Workplace culture non existent you’ll rarely see your coworkers outside of the person you drive with 1-2 times a week Job is very easy, no real stress on the body. Likely have to work extra days to reach your 40hrs. The hardest part is waiting around for stores sometimes. Not an angry employee review just an honest one. I still work here, love the people and will stay until I settle into a career.
