Tire Rack

A typical day at work is about 15 minutes of stretching after clocking in and reviewing what would consist of the day before getting started.

You learn how wheels are handled, tires are processed, the workers can push you through the day and encourage you to keep going.

Management is held through the boss that reviews customer descriptions, ensures returns, who was in charge of sending the wrong tire, returns if they did not want a tire or wheel.

The hardest part of the job were the workers that knew how to push buttons of other workers, made days less encouraging and lesser so to look forward to, how Mondays sort of dragged on because it was the busiest day due to weekends off then walking back in on a backed up To Do list.

The most enjoyable part of the job was learning something new about your workplace. Learning something new about the people you worked with, working with customers and your boss. Some workers gave others a hard time, but other workers pushed through. Remarkable workers that have been there for years and others for more so. The boss worked with you, helped as well as giving advice and talking to you. The job helped you find your place in the warehouse and was not too difficult or too easy.

Starred out loving my job but with poor supervisors & management who had their pets made it very hard on others as they were always looking for your faults & pointing them out - unless you were in their inter-circle then those that made major screw-ups nothing was said or done to them.     If another employee stopped by in passing to say hi - manager of that department would shoo them away but if that happened to others a blind eye was turned.     If you got up too many times to go to the restroom you were questioned.    They gave you the third degree when being sick & going to the doctor twice in 4 days then wanted you to work late when sick -REALLY!!!   Also had lost a parent so I had 2 funeral days & I needed an extra day to plan my fathers funeral & it was like pulling teeth - but my supervisor took 2 extra days when her father-INLAW passed & gave me grief for needing one extra day.  If super busy they made you take shorter lunches.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The management communication with employee and evaluations feed back were great  they work with you as a person not just an employee I couldn’t have had a better time there 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The customers can be hit or miss and with miss communication with the warehouse for tires to most of the time search for if even there could be problematic due to have a schedule for the day so it will tend to make you run late to appointments 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
From management to co workers where I was was very professional also like being on a team you were buddy’s with in high school it’s a very positive helpful environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on the season but be there 7:30 load up check off inspections and inventory drive to scheduled appointment knock them out and be back for 4:30 5 pm and clean park and call it a day very simple

Communication type things, mailings, faxes, copies, phone calls, etc. I learned how to avoid getting paper cuts. Management was hit an miss it depended on your department. The owners and their children were always and still are friendly and welcoming. The company parties were over the top & fun. The hardest part about the job was being stuck in a room with no windows, and the paper cuts. The enjoyable part of the job was seeing and smelling those tires. Honestly the best part for me was that the owners and their children were always friendly they didn't look or talk down to you. They made you feel like an equal. Even to this day oh so many years later after I left the company I can call out of the blue and talk to the owners or one of their children and have a so how's your family doing kind of conversation.

The Tire Rack use to be a wonderful place to work.
Management has really hurt the family feel that they use to care so much about. 
The culture is bad, if you are seen talking and enjoying your work environment you are treated like a child.  The manager will come over to see if you need somthing to do. Dont use the restroom to often, because you will be followed.  It wasnt like this when I first started, but the office manager really ran the good ones out.  She is very fake, and will talk to you as if she cares and then twist the information to use it against you.  Unfortunatly she is grooming the next manager to be the same way.  
The owners are not like that, but have lost touch with the employees.

I work At a Family Run Business It has its challenges for Poor Management in the Warehouse to Employee Issue not being addressed Most days start at 7:00 Am and can last until you are Finished Putting away everything Some times its 7:30 or 8:00 at night . As for coworkers we all have are Issues or different thing that either Motivate us or demotivate us. It does has some rewards Paid days off Sick pay Vacation and yearly raise. The Hardest part of the Job is they have very high employee Absentee it not unusual for employees to miss at least 1day a week, The most enjoyable part is that we do have some very good People working there they work very hard at there Jobs

What is the best part of working at the company?
The 401k is pretty good, and there are quite a few other benefits. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
None of your coworkers actually work and management never addresses issues that have been brought up repeatedly. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lots of nepotism, favoritism and not much room for growth unless you have a masters degree. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Struggle to find parking close to the entrance if you arrive later than 7:45am, watch people sleep on the clock or clock in 10+ minutes late, work until 5pm and then struggle to leave the congested parking lot.

Typical day at work depends on the area that you are in. In the area I was in I would load the trailers for finished orders that were being shipped out. There is no management for this job. The hardest part would be there is no structure to the time you go in and when you get off. Another hard part is during the winter season, we were still expected to come in during state of emergencies despite how the conditions are outside. There is no room for advancement, because there is no management team or positions to advance too. I worked here for 10 years and was terminated because your attendance is based on a point system. Not the merit of your work.

Work-life balance
Amazing owners, family oriented. Plan to retire there, but covid had other plans for me

Pay & benefits
Warehouse boss is a jerk, but everyone else in nice

Job security and advancement
Well I thought it was secure position until the pandemic started then my job was eliminated

Management
Mangers are awesome except the warehouse manager and customer service manager.

Culture
Not a whole lot of EOE. Maybe 3 African American people in office. Lots in warehouse.

Overall
Rather not go any further,  very hurt still for losing my favorite job after 13 years due to covid. I feel like they could have put me in a different position.

First month at tire rack was the hardest. Hard fast paced work. Start around 8am. One break at noon for an hour not paid. Then work from 1pm until the works done which is usually 6:30 until 8pm. You never know it's based on the orders and when you get them done. After a while the work is easy you body gets used to it. Decent pay $450 to $500 a week. Yearly raises you can get up to a dollar but you basically have to bust your butt all year long. I grew to love the people and the excited from being with the company seen a lot of different exotic cars. But left and I don't really miss it.
