The work is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. In fact it’s easy to get bored some days. 

I’ve learned how to do most of the jobs that the warehouse has to offer which should earn me a little more money. 

I’m hoping management gets a little better now that they demoted someone that never should have been a manager to begin with. He abused people to get to where he was. 

The culture is good and bad. The people you directly work with are easy to get along with. The culture of the company overall is terrible. It has become politically driven and if you aren’t in tune to what leaders believe, well you might as well hit the road. 

I wish HR had a better relationship with the workers and didn’t trust everything leadership told them to be true. 

The best part about the job is the ESOP. 
The unlimited time off could be great but it’s often abused which has made it not enjoyable. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
Good people great environment! But that’s really only in the warehouse. If they’d change up the HR it’d be a great company to work for. But HR is on a power trip and ruined the whole environment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
HR always thinking they know what’s best but have never worked in a warehouse a day in their life. Going off what they think is best and not even getting input from the warehouse workers. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The warehouse environment is great! Good people! And great leaders. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Usually there’s always work to do.  BUT if you get caught up I suggest not taking breaks. Keep your head down and look for continuous work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, If U Weren't A Buddy U DID All The Work While The Buddies Did Nothing !!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working 12 to 14 Hours A Day To Make The Customers Happy And They Get They're Material On Time. Not Getting Help From UR Co-Workers. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
TERRIBLE, IF U ARE NOT A FRIEND OF THE TOP SALESMAN I HAD TO BUST UR BUTT DOING ALL THE WORK WHILE THE BUDDIES DID NOTHING.  JUST TERRIBLE PLACE !!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy, I Stayed Busy. I did Deliveries and then worked in the Warehouse. 12 To 14 Hours A Day.

They make you feel like it's a great place to work. It's really just like any other High School. The pay is low the raises if you're friends with the management you might get 3%. If you get in with the click you can do whatever you want including break the rules with no consequences. If you don't follow the click or drink the Kool-Aid you'll be expected to work hard and you will have errors for work you didn't even do. They promote People based on age and gender instead of qualifications. They have titles Like Chief organizational specialist. The person that holds that job is also friends with the CEO.

While I did work for this company, thing were good. They preach about family and values, wanting to help better the employees. Realistically, that is simply not true. Like any business, the care they show reflects on the dollar. Management and HR cannot be trusted to resolve problems discreetly, nor efficiently. Overall, I would caution anyone before they accept a position with this company. Management at the Quad Cities branch is sub-par in their approach to employee interaction.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Medium paced family oriented great place to learn and advance at....

No stress it's sometimes hectic to make sure all orders R out at its specific  time

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It goes by pretty quick because  there's always something  to do

CDL driver here. Don't apply here. I say that with a heavy heart. I Loved my job. My route. But the hours destroy your personal life. Your relationships. The benefits are nothing. The pay is sub par for what you're doing with the hours you're doing the work with. And then, they put cameras on you that monitor you. Eye movements. Anything it thinks is unsafe. Yeah....theyre one of "those" companies...
This is one of the companies ruining the trucking industry by overly controlling the driver through surveillance equipment

At first I thought this was gonna be a great place, but I was wrong, too complex, every single kid in his early 20s is a supervisor or a lead for some reason, too difficult to get anything done, they don’t make it easier to you so you can learn how to do your duties., they tell you wonders to get you in the door but once you are already there you’re constantly getting discouraged. This place is definitely not for anyone, it’s a very hot warehouse in summer, anyways if I were you I’d apply somewhere else.

i spent all day spooling wire and and picking orders. spooling wire wasn't bad just a lot hard work. the management was ok until u try to explain something that u feel is unfair. then they shut down and refuse to listen. the most enjoyable part of my job was the atmosphere and the people. it is a %100 employee owned so we where and a big family. we all looked after each other had fun and always hung out after work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You get a pay check. Really is nothing else to say

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I was the only African American and I was treated differently.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic,it was a job for a short time.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of micro- management for me not got other though
