Not a great place to work especially right now they’ve been forcing people in on their days off, awarding double points for Attendance all because they can’t keep people there to keep production up because how they treat People.the standard is to high to reach for new people  so makes the job super difficult and they walk out All because the people who’ve been there reach above the standard and get that extra and they’re trying to cut it from them and stop them from getting the incentive to save money  So if you like to be forced to do stuff and be ripped off if you are a good worker because you won’t be able to reach their incentive because the standards so high now that even the veterans that been there for 15+ years are finding it difficult all the sudden  And on top of all this you have a union taking money from your weekly and don’t even represent you because it’s a fake union there so if you get employed don’t think you’re part of a real union Because this is the same so called union allowing this place to do these things  to the workers the union did nothing for workers when they went on strike three years previous & they still not other than just taking your hard-earned money .So I literally had to walk away from job of two yrs due to working conditions and environment.So if you have no kids and don’t mind working 14 days straight With no days off in between.go check them out

its not easy if you arent a worker bee you wont make it,  requires dedication and physical ability, you have a fairly rigorous physical health screening to be accepted then once accepted and you start the job its like a marathon to meet the quota , its not horrible but it is exhausting and lots of hard work, the people who work here and maintain the quota are hard working individuals much respect to the picking team but I dont see people wanting to be here LONG TERM which is why they have a super high turnover rate, and im not surprised because most people cant hack it and never will . I enjoy the work out and the laboring BUT the pay could be higher all the incentive talk is kind of BS youll be lucky to meet quota and maintain it and all the attendance bonuses dont kick in right away so youll work alot for the 17.50 and be ready to leave by the time you see any pay increases. Most people are always looking for another job , this is one of the hardest jobs in southern Colorado youll never hit that 24 an hour with your average work ethic you must be at the top of your game!! If you arent able to reach quota youll be let go eventually.

I was told during the interview and tour that I had 270 days to learn three jobs but everybody had to start off case selecting. After starting we were told that you aren't eligible for benefits until you get 100% doing case selection. They also bundle their benefits together, if you want dental you have to get health insurance. The only way to get another job in that place is to bid on it (they're union) and the real probationary period isn't 270 days, it's nine weeks. If I had know these things I wouldn't have worked for them. The real reason that the probationary period is nine weeks is because after that they have to pay you an incentive for having good attendance. They know most people aren't going to be at 100% by then so they let them go. You're basically a seasonal temp. Work hard, help keep their ot down, no benefits, make less money and when it's over they fire you. I also noticed that it's possible to pick more cases and yet have a lower percentage than other people. There are some shady things going there.

They start out by throwing you into the most difficult job they have and see if you survive before allowing you to go "officially" full-time. Even though you are working 40+ hours a week (guaranteed and always seeking volunteers for their days off. They pay 1 1/2 more) they don't consider that full-time until you pass their "trial by fire". Benefits come when you make full-time and they are pretty amazing. Healthcare is one of the best. I got my forklift and pallet rider license here. Management is something left to be desired. It's incredibly difficult to get a hold of HR if you're not in the right place or the right time. Though the main problem lies with being understaffed. HR was always everywhere. Hardest part of the job was Case. Which is the trial by fire. Hardest department there is and even when you transfer to another department, they keep shoving you back in there when they need you until your seniority gets high enough. 20+ years for anything below 100.

Overall

Challenging place to work., which can be both good and bad. Management is all interconnected, dating each other, and been with the company for 20+ years. Even the HR lead is married to a supervisor in the maintenance department. 

It's a typical maintenance job, but the building is really old and pretty poorly maintained over the years. If you decide to work here, make sure you really look around during the walk-through. One thing is for sure, you won't ever be out of work. 

As far as scheduling goes, maintenance side you will have one weekend day off and either Friday or Monday. Some small on call and OT is required but not too often. 

Best bet is to show up every day, keep your head down, and just do what you are told. Trying to go above and beyond or trying to excel will really only cause friction. 

It's a job. Do your stretching before work. When I worked there I was single with no kids. You will work that's for sure but there are worse jobs out there. The key to making your numbers are paying attention to your percentage throughout the work week. You have to be T 95 percent I think to avoided a CFI which stands for coaching for improvement. Maybe 90 percent. It's BS because you're busting your tail going through this fast paced warehouse and the numbers they say you have per order it's impossible to make. What I did was at the end of the work week I limited my breaks and lunch. I took a 10 minute lunch and went back to work for example, that's 20 minutes added to your time, things like that. If you have day care issues this place is not for you. The union is a joke. I'm happy I no longer work there but if you need a job and willing to work then it's not bad. Have a good home support and you'll do fine.

I worked second shift part time so a typical day for me was coming in at 4-6pm and leaving by around 3-4am. Normally the warehouse is extremely noisy and busy but second shift was surprisingly relaxing. I'd come in to an almost empty warehouse and just move heavy stuff until it was time to go, simple. Skills to be learned there would largely be multitasking and spacial awareness. 

The management and culture at the time were sort of hand in hand. There was a lot of concise back and forth communication and light hearted joking so most shifts were pretty enjoyable. Except the ones where first shifts numbers fell way behind so you had to move extra fast.

The people here were absolutely amazing, like my second family. However, management creates an overwhelming and stressful environment, and thus being the reason for why the good ones always leave and the toxic employees remain. I was not given a promotion or raise,and did not feel support from within my own department and was overworked to the point of burnout and exhaustion. 
My coworkers were amazing to work with, but by the end of it all, I was left with high blood pressure and anxiety during my short time here. Advise before applying - HR does not care about you as a person, but moreso looks at numbers over anything. It is truly sad. 

turnover rate here is very high you have to work long hours to make any money they bamboozle the new workers with a pick rate thats bs workers are ok few rude guys the job sucks it's intense they run the numbers up so you don't hit a good incentive once you hit fulltime I got paperwork to prove it. Supervisor will avoid telling you things about sick time or small things that really help you feel like a robot here supervisors are idiots except for 2-3 of em I've ran a warehouse I know their job I got out and worked with my guys when they where short handed these supervisor sit on their thumbs
