I want to get the good out of the way first it is not much good ... It is the first ever place that provides chairs. They have Wrapping Machines. There is no vest requirement / not issued. Not Strict Security. Restrooms have Soap, Water, Hand Dryer as part of the faucets. Warehouse is clean. ... except the Lockers Provided (Never Cleaned Out Unfortunately / Are Zip Tied Together) Shelves And Refrigerators Also. Clock Automatically Docks Your Meal Time. You Clock In 7 Minutes Early. You Can Also Clock Out 15 Minutes Early And It Is PAID !! This place is not that bad ... They certainly try to keep people happy and yet I do not understand why they must go as far as they go to Hire Too Many People in an attempt to be adequately staffed at all times. Yes at all times, it is a 12.5 Shift 3 Days, + 6 Hour Shift A 4th Day. This means that you encounter other shifts because of overlapping schedules. Or they can simply do better at recruiting but since they are still hiring too many people there must be another reason: Perhaps this company which has one major contract (and I really doubt anybody needs that much of the product) and you need lots of people on standby to rush the product out. After it has completed successfully, everybody new must leave for the duration of the shift. This is a production facility which means it has rapid (faster than the machines themselves) process. The machines often get the labels and tape stuck together and jams the machines. If you are not able to keep up with it, they will terminate you. The ideal candidate employee is going to be born very wealthy and has perfect opportunity for growth. Everybody else can not afford to stay long enough for a possible promotion. Another ideal candidate employee is going to be looking for part time work on a shift time of day they usually would not work at because this is a part time job. You clock in, and wait an hour for warm up and position. If they have no position, they send dozens of employees home. I was able to get response about it: They are short handed on Leaders ... Is this why I am under consideration for that position?! If you are experienced in any type of leadership they would gladly hire you. However, they do not pay much for a production job. Also I hate the powerpoint presentations left on in the break room with their so called music blasting away. there is minimal HVAC and I did not see any Shop Heaters which means I would have gotten out of there before autumn anyways. I do not want to join the few permanently hired employees and maintenance workers and forklift operators that try to apologize for those that are sent away. 

Went in open-minded despite some of the reviews read, but experiencing the 3.5 day shift is not for everyone. The shift change from eights to twelves doesn't entirely make sense in some departments as workload would not be enough to justify you being there but you were repeatedly told to keep busy as the cameras were being monitored. Twelve hour shifts would be a bit tolerable if phones/headphones/radios were allowed to get through the long shifts but paranoia about the customer's product keeps employees from bringing any form of electronic devices. The five "Incident/Personal" days provided with vacation earned are good when emergencies occur, but you have to remind management even when you have to go into the system to input them anyways. Employees request fall to the wayside and you receive a point for not calling in and notify of personal days used. Training is provided but it definitely wasn't training that helps you understand how to be efficient in your job, so when a mistake is made, it's on you. Also, EVERYONE is still in training, so if you have a question for management, good luck trying to find an answer or direction. So, if you need a job and this place is your last resort then go for it, but I'm sure there are other employers where you can find some sense of enjoyment doing what you do.

This company is a start up in America. They have already closed down 1 branch and I work at the FW Branch and have been there since the beginning. I have been promised over and over that I have opportunities. Not one has come my way and I have busted my tail. Stayed late, come in early, missed time with my kid. They offer no sick time and the "personal/incident " days they give you drag you down and give you no incentive to have them. There is no advancement opportunity.  The Warehouse specifically. They hire outside of the department for people who have not performed the job and because they are production. Do not work for this company. You will be wasting your time 100%. I enjoy nothing about this job. Hardest part of this job is dealing with the naivety and disregard for logic. It is all about kissing the right person's rear end. If I could cuss I would. Management is all about making their own name known. Not about promoting the most deserving people.

You will be over worked and over looked for any promotions unless you are a yes person. You’ll always have to do someone else’s work because they will run short staff on purpose plus make you do other peoples work because someone has to pick up the lazy persons slack.  Management is a joke in every department and none of them are qualified for the position they manage. They only care about you having a degree to place you in management yet their degree doesn’t match their skill set if they have any. The company is too cheap to provide A/C year round because it’ll cut into their bonus paychecks. Best you’ll get is A/C 3 months tops and that’s because their sensitive scale equipment will start to fail due to the summer heat. Don’t think it’s because they are being generous for 3 months and that they care about their employees even the slightest bit. Not a good company to work for if you have any real skill and they solely rely on immigrants or people with not so great of a background to keep the place running. 

I enjoyed the job quite a bit and advanced quickly to better positions. Unfortunately in 1 year at the job the company has: eliminated 3rd shift at the south plant, eliminated 3rd shift at the North plant, laid off many people, cut full time hours down to 30 hrs and demoted people from leads (good leads I might add) to general labor. The sad fact is, there are many fantastic people here but it has become a place where people question the stability and future of a career there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing.   Complete chaos and mis managed from plant Manger to QA

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
100% of general labor was temporary, Haitian refugees with severe language barrier so they hired more Temps to translate with attendance being that if 1 person was absent, their entire car load was not there.   Could be 7+ employees per car X 3 absences = 21 ppl absent sometimes more than that.  Ridiculous 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very loose, unstructured, unorganized, disrespectful and not worth a million to work in all that.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nothing but treading water daily.  No improvements ever.  Easy money to just show up

I do not recommend this job unless you need something in-between jobs and don't wanna stay here long. Upper management treats you like you're a lesser person than them. If there's a problem with a co worker, don't expect anything to get done about it, unless you don't mind retaliation or being let go. The only way to move up into a better position is if you know someone higher up, regardless of experience. It won't matter how much you learn, it'll never be enough to anyone higher up who hasn't even ran a Line before. And especially if you're a woman on that warehouse floor, expect to be treated like we're back in the 1960s, especially on 3rd shift. Expect to be treated like nothing more than a statistic and a scapegoat for other peoples problems. 

I honestly thought I would work here for many years when I first started. But as time went one I started to see how management /HR picked favorites and block great workers from getting promotions.(I’m not going to say her name. But if you know you know). My supervisor was great and always looked out for everyone. They do some sneak stuff behind the scenes (Management/HR). For all the temps that we sent home. I’m sorry, a lot of you work harder and better than most truvant employees. There are some great people that work there and I loved working with them. They gave me great memories and help me grow as a person and leader.I have a lot more to say about this place in Haslet TX. But I already feel like I summarized when I wanted to say.

I regret to say that my experience with Truvant has been overwhelmingly negative, particularly regarding their ability to train, lead, and prepare maintenance personnel. The underlying favoritism within the company is glaringly obvious and detrimental to the team's morale and effectiveness.
In just two years, Truvant has cycled through four maintenance managers, none of whom have left a positive mark. Most of these managers seem to do little more than stare at their computers, showing a complete lack of engagement with the machinery they are supposed to oversee.
