The typical day to day is nothing typical. Yes you may start with looking at the emails and which require your attention but after the first 30 minutes, get ready to wear another hat of responsibility. You have one title but you have half a dozen roles that are gradually given to you. No matter what you're hired on for, they will see what else you can do and add it to your responsibilities without the appropriate compensation. The hard part is the lack of training on the given tasks. You either learn by watching over the shoulder of another worker that is also still learning and hope you don't develop any bad habits or you figure it out on your own. It has it's pros and cons but there are times where guidance is greatly appreciated. 

I will say that there is a life in the office. It's filled with different personalities but all working together. When it gets stressful, there is a peer that has your back. The work environment is workable and they provide the necessary tools to perform your job. 

On birthdays, they buy the office lunch which builds the team aspect but you can tell when the management likes certain members over others. I believe the management has a great ability to lead, it's whether or not they can adapt that leadership based on who their leading. 

Many of the departments has a limit to growth. From what I've seen and heard, you're hired for that position and you don't move up unless you're related or really close to the management family. So if you're looking for upward growth, this wouldn't be the place. It's great for a stepping stone and getting experience but that's about it. Not a career place. 

This was my experience and it's similar to others. Ultimately it'll be up to you and what you experience but I wouldn't recommended this if you're looking for either long term or upward growth.

1) Daily duties,customer relations, director of jobs to drivers, handling shipments from different brokers to drivers. Move frieght to setup delivery truck routes,calling fatoring company to setup payment for completed deliveries, servicing t-check/ com-data checks and funds for driver fueling and hauling payments on delivered loads,also for loading and unloading fees when needed. 

2) Learned the skill of trucking operations;meaning doing what ever it takes to get the frieght delivered on time and pay the drivers as agreed in the start of the delivery as long as the delivery was on time with no damage.

3)Hardest part, KEEPING THE DRIVER HAPPY, no freight is guarantee to go where the driver want to go every time or have freight coming out near or on the same day of the delivery.

 4) Enjoyed helping to move loads with the shipper /brokers, and the managing of the scope jobs required to complete loads in a timely manner or as contracted by the shipper/broker or customer.

During the whole day, there is always something to do. never had me just standing or sitting doing nothing, I really loved being active and standing and walking for long periods. I learned many things such as using man tools, but in a good way, help other co-workers finish their work on time the item could be sent on time. 
Always keeping an eye on all the damage, mistakes and fixing things before shipping, even though we had to do it on our own.
I learn to drive a forklift, which i think it was helpful and made the work much easy and production was even more and more faster!
I also learned to make barrier bags, logging in to the computer and getting dimensions for our next crates. That was not part of my job, but once again, its better learning more things that could be helpful than just what you know. The hardest part of this job, was only that i was the only woman in the warehouse, which meant not all co-workers where use to it, or somehow knew how to act along. I have absolutely no problem, and I actually would like to live this wonderful experience one more time!

Allergic to the hemlock wood. Night management is lazy! Always on his phone, cant find him, and rather useless. I've had useless bosses but this one is a can of why is he a manager? The route I personally had to take {as a none driver} is along a 1.5 ish [ much longer i didn't use whole road ] mile stretch of road. At midnight going home was very, very, VERY dangerous on a bike[was ran off/forced of the road more then a few times]. The free way was even worse. Honestly the job itself was good the morning crew i would work again. The night shift needs to be shut down. On a brighter note. The morning manager is great. I don't speak Spanish and he doesn't speak much English [ he can understand English tho]. All in all the morning was fun fast paced and rather interesting [save my eyes in constant pain] i would say morning shift worth a fun time. Night shift avoid it like the plague.

They say it’s a family but it really isn’t. They allow for people who should have been fired years ago stay while others who actually have the skills are looked over. No matter how many times and how many people report the same issues, the management never changes and are allowed to be unprofessional. It an escalation does arise, both sides are not taken into account. You are a head, someone to fill a seat. Even if you have been professional, done your job and what is expected, your head can be chopped and rolled right out the door. The CEO is the problem, he needs to change before they all change. He’s a nice guy and says it’s a family but it all comes right back to money. Maybe instead of cutting jobs you can reduce your income pay? 

I would not recommend working at TransPak based on my experience. I was hired with the understanding that I would have full control of the department as a supervisor, but that promise was never kept. Despite my efforts to lead and improve the team, I was constantly undermined, and there was a clear lack of structure and support.

The operations manager seemed unqualified and often made decisions that created confusion and inefficiency. On top of that, the work environment was toxic—several employees had consistently negative attitudes, which made it difficult to build any kind of team morale.

Workers Overworked, bosses are narcissistic and toxic. The moment you decide to be honest and genuine with any type of mistake you make you'll already be having people talking  behind your back.  Out of all the warehouse jobs I've had this would have to be the worst of them all by far.  You always need to be vigilant and pray you don't get fired for the smallest and unpreventable mistakes that the company makes on their own accord due to high work volumes and no workers. Environment is very depressing.

The work itself is peaceful most management and leads are good you can pop in your headphones and just do your work but you still find little drama. When  they gave promotions shocker that safety was the person who sent her nudes out to everyone in fab and the leads, slept with everyone in the warehouse to keep her job. That’s harassment and if you don’t flirt back she talks about you. Have to be white or female to get a promotion like her. can be unfair sometimes but you get hours. You just have to get in and get out just do your job and leave other than it’s alright it’s a job with drama

The people. All of the managers and people in power shouldn't be.

Toxic I was written up for going to the bathroom three times a day

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Extremely depressing between the management and people they put in lead positions being talked down to and insults were constantly spoken

nothing special to learn here all though i managed to get 5 years exp. on forklift, management are fairly nice but typical when it comes to raises being distributed according to perfermances its done by departments, no problems with most co-workers all are friendly to the most part, hardest part would be getting trucks unloaded in a timely manner when u got 2 or 3 trucks at once in waiting, getting thge exp. on the forklift that i uptanned in my stay.
