The Visual Pak Companies

Typical day included tracking and tracing of shipments to ensure on time pick ups and deliveries, calling and sending rates to customers to win freight, light accounting work, and cost comparison of carriers.

I learned about logistics and freight brokerage.  How to compare rates, enter shipments into the systems, dispatching LTL carriers, and gauging how well the economy is doing based on how much freight we moved for our customers.

Management was fun but a little too laid back.  They would address issues where needed but sometimes ignored them.

Co-workers also fun and laid back but would get the work done where needed.

The hardest part of the job was staying consistently busy.  When customers are slow with their production and didn't have a lot of freight to move, we became slow.

The most enjoyable job was when it was busy, it gave a good sense of accomplishment to know the customers were being serviced.

This is the kind of place you come to get experience and develop a skillset. If you work hard you will probably be exposed to opportunities to lead. However, this is definitely not the place to stay for long term growth, and competitive pay and benefits.

Management does not always make ethical decisions, I definitely have zero trust and confidence in my manager and upper management in everything from caring about my personal and professional goals to making ethical decisions regarding the products we produce. The good thing is actually the turnover, because from time to time I see new hires who genuinely care and try to better this place.

What is the best part of working at the company?
From the owner, to the CEO, COO, and top management throughout there was a respect for all employees

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Maintaining goals set by management while trying to update the equipment and keep staffing at needed levels

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like a family...a diverse family

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Checking with all teams that the day is going as expected operationally, working with facilities to achieve updates to facility, reviewing and signing purchase orders, handling all issues throughout the day, machine or people related

Management is rude & normally talk down to other employees.

The only time you are appreciated is when you hit the historic record sales - other wise you are working long hours and some weekends without feeling appreciated. 

You need to hand hold all projects through complete process. If you work in the office, you need to follow up with every department from receiving all the way through shipping or it will not get done in a timely manner. Sometimes having to physically walk into each department to make sure it gets done. 

Most of the people have been there for many years & it's like being around family.

A typical day at work I am responsible for scanning and packing generated internet orders for a well known, nationwide shipping company. I pack multiple and single orders for the first 4 hours of the shift. I've learned proper lifting procedures and loading techniques too get the job done fast and correctly.The co-workers are more than willing to help and train you to be successfully. The hardest part of the job is adjusting too the environment but it will come natural eventually. The most enjoyable part for me is working under pressure too get a certain amount of orders done timing is everything and I learned too speed up and finish at a timely matter.

If you are an engineer, do not waste your time

with this company. The level of miscommunication is unbelievable departments are completely disconnected, leadership provides no direction, and no one seems to know what VIP actually wants. Expect constant confusion, last-minute changes, and zero alignment.

The work environment is far from safe. Safety concerns are ignored, equipment is not maintained properly, and issues that should be urgent never receive attention.

There is no real support, no clarity, and definitely no long-term growth. This place is only good if you're looking for extra work, nothing serious. Anyone seeking a stable, professional engineering environment should look elsewhere

Visual Pak, always looking to bring in new carrier reps even though there is barely enough freight to keep the current employees happy.

Management micro-manages like crazy. They always make you feel as if your job is never secure, and you are never doing enough (even though all the carrier reps work 7 til 5:30 PM with minimal breaks in between). 

The culture created is very divisive in which it's an "us vs them" mentality between carrier sales and customer sales. The one saving grace is that the carrier reps are all understanding of this culture and they do a good job to work together in unison.

A typical day included reviewing company bank in the morning, for deposits, if any I would set about an hour to post those and clear that out. Checking emails, responding to vendors, downloading new invoices to enter in the system ( daily task), as well as opening the ones thru mail. PO invoicing matching, ACH's, cut live checks when need it, etc.
I learned great things along the way, I had 12 years, portion of that time was while we were ITW, company was bought and we became Visual Pak San Diego and they kept my seniority.
I didn't see as a hard thing to do, I really enjoyed learning from inventory, financial reporting, AP and AR,

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I worked with and the fun group outings.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being supported by upper management, we weren't the priority.

Checking emails, taking phone calls, working with my team to resolve issues.

What is the best part of working at the company?
That company is fast paste most of the time my best experience there was I learned how to work fast and multitasking.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They wasn't fair most of the time a lot of favoritism.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast Pace company sometimes it's no work and sometimes they will send home early when there no work. When I was employed there a lot of employees and myself was working through a temp agency when it was real busy it was a lot of overtime not mandatory.
