Watco-Logistics

Typical day at work:  You have to load the heavy paper reams boxes and everything else by yourself first thing in the morning (5:30am - 6:30 am) every day. You or your employee will finish this task already dead before the day starts, this is the main reason people quit so fast and so often.  Watco doesn't want to invest in conveyors and people to sort out the merchandise in the vans like it should be.
 - what you believe you learned.  How to identify Con companies like Watco and the sketchy Senior Supervisor and office personnel that's is in charge of this business in Pittsburgh... 
-Management:  Be Aware! They will ask for favors that cost you money and they will find a way to not pay back.
-workplace culture:  Believe me I held a contract for a full year,  the work culture is BAD, I mean BAD!
- the hardest part of the job: The almost hard to impossible load every morning and the stupid little money... And the rest of the delivery day is horrible due to the bad route sistem Watco have.
- the most enjoyable part of the job:  there is nothing enjoyable knowing after you're hooked by this Con Company you are going to finish end up in depth.

Typical day at work was sometimes 24 hours long, tortuous, and sometimes made me wonder if i had passed away and was in the place that isnt heaven. 
I learned what to never do to an employee, and that "Staples/Watco" at this location is absolutely the worst decision of employment I ever made in my life.
Senior leaders are incompetent jokes, that literally brag about marriages lost and being absentee parents for their dedication to this clown company.   They have no care in the world about their staff or their well being.  
Culture was all contract employees, most of which were stoned out of their mind or thieves , that did not care at all about what they're supposed to do.  
Hardest part of the job was not hanging myself and condemning the building.
Most enjoyable part of the job was other site leaders I met,  some had it worse than I did.  Then telling the Sr. Regionals and Staples management that theyre abominations.  Then quitting.  That was enjoyable. 

The place is full of fake promises and fake smiles. They will tell you about 'freedom you  would have as an independent contractor, promising pay, free days as you need etc, but after you quit your real job invest in a van and start working for them, what you really get is  they will start deduct and reduce pay anywhere they possible can, and at the end once they hire enough drivers, they will start intimidating you by losing your route/work on a small things cause they promised your certain pay, (and guess why? Cause they just found someone who will do it for cheaper).
Overall, this place is not a place where you will wake up and go work and be sure you will work and make earning for a family. This is not place to invest yourself and your money.  Management is doing what they want, and If you're ready to be their pawn, you'll probably be happy here 


When I worked for Watco I was made to feel like a number.  Watco is Staples Office Supply no doubt (in Indianapolis).  My supervisors made me feel inadequate daily.  The leadership at Staples had more to do with Watco employees all around.  The management at Staples was more or less a military kind of feeling.  You work until you cant and then you are made to feel like it was not good enough all of the time.  I would not recommend or submit anyone to this kind of environment and I feel it will self destruct as of the way they treat the employees.  Contractors are treated like Employees as well.  I am not sure how legal it is to act this way as a company but people will not take the degrading environment for long.  

I've been working here for a short time but long enough to know what it's like. I love the job I do here. If you're a railroader that wants a more set schedule where they care about their team member, and look for ways to mold you towards career advancement within the company, this is the place to work. My boss is very understanding, laid back, but also fair and stays true to his job, while also setting a good example of how a railroad manager should be in this industry. I'd recommend Watco to anyone who is looking for a good place to go to work for the railroad.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dreaded walking thru the door

They market the $75,000 a year in order to get you in the door and driving. Once you do, they will complain that they are paying you too much and will keep asking you to agree to a different pay structure so that they pay less. 

You make less. They make more. That’s what they want. They want drivers who they can take advantage of. 

Old stick shift trucks that break down daily. Management needs to be fired. Terminal filthy and drivers are extremely overworked. No chance to advancement. 

It's basically moving and organizing boxes for 3 to 4 hours. It's a good work out or side hustle but not much more.
Because of the early time to come in 3.30 A.M. you do have the rest of your day free.
