You would arrive at 8 and leave at 5. Lower paid individuals had higher expectations then the higher paid. Higher paid arrived on their time and left on their time. No raises for some of the lower waged individuals during hard times, but they gave raises to the credit team and others. Asked for training several times to but very rarely got it because supervisors are too busy. If you work Customer Service expect to work up front as the receptionist, in the back in the warehouse, on excel sheets, on the website, cleaning cubicles, and talking with customers. Also expect that all calls will be from people who want new items for broken items that are 5+ yrs old or because they dropped and broke their items.

Management is great to work with on a personal level, however on a professional level they severely lack structure, discipline, and proper training. Hard working employees don't receive any compensation/raises or even appreciation for their diligence or longevity. Employees that are lazy, have poor attendance, or constantly make mistakes do not get any reprimanding. Huge disconnect between the office and warehouse communications.

After COVID, working from home became a good perk, and the environment during many family emergencies allowed for flexibility to be be with my loved ones. Unfortunately, the positives do not outweigh the cons, my supervisor was passive aggressive and did not acknowledge my efforts. Each department head gossips with HR and there is no respect for personal information. It is extremely hard to move up the ladder, and change will never happen.  

No opportunities for advancement, No job stability, No supervisor/Manager to support you. No training, No adherence to company policies only when it benefits them. Workplace culture is cover your butt - no teamwork. Everyone out for themselves and play the blame game as no one takes responsibility for their mistakes. Management does not listen to the employees for improvement ideas but continues to do the same old same old which results in layoffs every few years. Pay is terrible based on job requirements.

No accountability from anyone. A private family business that employs most of their family is due to foster entitled people. Steering Committee has no regard for warehouse workers with useless protocols. HR is absolutely not dependable for anything. No room for job advancement. Temp/seasonal workers are treated horribly. Last straw was watching temps being ordered to use portable bathrooms outside in fear of them contaminating the rest of the employees. To say that this is inhumane is an understatement.

Never worked at a place where the people who don’t lift a finger can do what they want and not get in trouble for standing around. Yet the people trying to get work done get reprimanded when they call out all the people who mess around. 

The workplace environment was extremely focused on completing the tasks as efficiently and quickly as possible, but because of this, we were able to get a lot done. The only major issue came down to the fact that it was a slow summer for the company, and because of this some days had less work to do than others.

This place is like the den of a Venice Court. No one takes responsibility. Every day is a case of order, counter order, disorder. Expectations are not clear and a good portion of the staff is "part of the family" so they are immune from criticism. They will also throw you under the bus at the drop of a hat.
