I spent a year fixing everything I could with customers' accounts, but only when I was allowed to.

I learned that I would need to discover and solve all problems by myself or with the help of the I.T. team.

There was no training when I started, I was told I would receive training during my interview but it never happened and I eventually taught myself most of everything.
They do have a training team now but that team has to spend most of their time filling in performing jobs for all the people who have quit or been fired.

The workplace culture is in a bad place... you spend a lot of time wondering "how much longer will this place be open?" or "am I the next one they plan to fire?"

The hardest part of the job, for me, was getting anything I was told to do in an email or in writing somehow... very often you are told to do questionable things and if you ask for it in writing you become outcast with time... I began to ask for things in writing more often because I had seen people fired for things they were told to do by the person who had them fired.

The most enjoyable part of the job, for me, was that I enjoy problem solving and fixing things to make our customers happy. Bringing Inventory Accuracy up to 98% or 100% in a building where things started out at around 57% accuracy or lower was a wonderful accomplishment. 
I built an Inventory team in a 1.2 Million Square foot warehouse that had not performed a single cycle count in a whole year.
I worked closely with I.T. to get cycle counts working at a company who told me their cycle count system doesn't work.
All of those points made it one of the best years I ever spent with a company, because I learned how many challenges I can overcome with minimal help from the company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, upper management is horrible and has no warehouse experience.  Office manager is the same, no warehouse experience.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of support and experience from upper management and office manager.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
General manager and office manager create an hostile and low morale environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Too much interference from outside upper management.  Wanted ops ran his way and not logistically possible.

Some good people doing their best but permanently handicapped by a toxic, fear based culture that starts and ends at the top.  Culture is terrible and demoralizing. 
 Most people seem to just be trying to do their job and not attract attention to themselves to avoid getting chewed out (for minor and/or imagined slights). 
Personnel attrition is very high.  Also, a lot of regulatory compliance issues and no infrastructure (try asking for an organization chart!).   A company I would not recommend to anyone for employment or even as  a provider of 3PL services, frankly.

Overall, a positive environment to work in.  Management is fair and flexible and promotes from within. A focus is made on quickly adapting and rethinking processes to adapt to ever changing requirements by customers.  There is definitely room for improvement, but employee concerns are heard and addressed reasonably and fairly.

Horrible, dysfunctional and incompetent leadership.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive each day to try and set a positive example for the warehouse employees who don’t deserve working for such a lousy organization.

Senior management is a joke and they can't stand each other so they take it out in lower level management. There is no real guidance and it's literally a s***show. Inventory is a disaster and they do not take the time to stop and correct it but only apply band-aid solutions. Both Ops Managers have their wives working there plus other relatives and the entire hourly staff are all related in someway so you have a bunch of drama that is uncalled for.
