My day at work started at 5:30am and ended anywhere from 2:30 to 6;30pm. I was the Team Lead for first shift and usually started the day off with a safety meeting and organizing my dock schedule for that day. I was in charge of helping run the loading dock, overseeing the pickers who compiled customer orders, attendance and safety/accident reports, forklift/pallet jack training on my shift, warehouse and employee safety meetings, and keeping electronic records of products picked and trucks loaded and unloaded that day.

I enjoyed my job very much the entire time I worked for them. My managers were always willing to teach me new systems and better more efficient ways to do things, as well as broaden my horizons and skills to better prepare me for my future whether  it be in their company or not. I learned how to effectively manage and lead co-workers and people in general, how to accurately handle myself in high stress situations, and learned the a tremendous amount of knowledge about bourbon/liquor and the systems they use to categorize and manage it.

Move on there are much better places to work unless your good buddies with management then your good to go. 
Very rude people.  No life. No sick days or excused days off. Had a parent dieing they didn't care just wanted to know how soon I could get there. Had my job treated at least 2 times a week the first 2 months I was there. Pay is good depending on the department you're in. Management doesn't mind putting you in an unsafe situation but do not report them to the safety deptment if you do you will get fired same if you get hurt. If you report accidents to workers compensation your days are numbered. Very hard to communicate most employees are from other country's and don't speak English. 


Mandatory OT was pretty common and would be announced right before end of shift without warning most times. Picking Aisles were far too narrow for the amount of people moving between them, and management practically laughed in my face when I had presented concerns for how the jobs were being done. Mgmt also unfairly treated POC who were put in supervisor positions because of their qualifications. Most days it didn't seem like we needed to stay late and we ended up with OT anyway; almost seemed like they were intentionally slowing the flow of work as even the slower pickers had times where they were standing around waiting for orders to be presented.

RUN FROM THIS PLACE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!  This is a TOXIC environment, management acts as if they care about you then they turn around and talk behind your back.  I'm pretty sure there are Hippa violations like crazy there.  Nothing about your life and work life are private, the gossip among upper management is insane and childish.   Training does not exist, if you are salary you work 50+ hours and the pay sucks.  Don't fall for hype , you will be lied to and taken advantage of every opportunity they get.  The most childish group of management I have ever worked for in my life and I'm no spring chicken.

The fast pace of Transportation made the day fly by, the stress of the job was dealt with by learning different coping skills.  I worked with a great team of people, we were a well oiled machine that could process over a million dollars in revenue with just 4 people.  The hardest part of the job is trying to keep everyone happy.  The Customers came first and keeping the quality of customer service is what meant the most.  The most enjoyable part of the job was working with customers to solve a problem.  I always found a solution and worked for the best possible solution.

Management is open and honest and always provide guidance on how to correct any issue. They also provide training on parts of the job that you're unfamiliar with which helps when you would like to climb the company ladder. Co-workers are always willing to lend a hand if you feel overwhelmed. The hardest part of the job is time management to ensure you can complete all tasks before the end of the day. The most enjoyable part is the working environment. It's easy to make friends when everyone treats you like family!

Verst as a whole is about as broken as they come. Some of the personnel and policies are amazing but at the same time you've got a lot of people who try to "play the game" and they hide things from higher ups, they deceive employees with false benefits, false claims of coming raises. By far one of the lowest paying jobs I've ever been with mostly due to HR wanting to get all the kickbacks they can. There are some people here who really take their jobs to heart and do everything they can to live up to the companies morals but there are way to many who backstab their way to the top.

I was only a contracted temp worker for Verst but i could not say enough great things about the company culture, the employees who work there and management. Everyone in the Walton KY location were friendly, helpful, happy and very welcoming. Management is always around with an open door policy to help answer any question you may have or address any concerns. It started off as a family run company and even though it has grown to have a presence all through out the Midwest, the small family owned culture has not gone away.

Keep up the good work Verst!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work was super easy. I loved all my coworkers. It’s a very laid-back environment. The upper management was always there to support me and help me if I needed it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working there is we never really had enough people so you’re always struggling to get things done

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s very laid-back everyone there is very friendly and it’s a very family type culture

It's a very fast pace job, and that is OK, but I don't like how you can feel your co worker's bad energy, and I think that the supervisors give the wrong people authority, and the authority is abused.
