Zenith Logistics, Inc.

Good easy money for people with the energy and physical fortitude for it, and keeps you active for long hours. Beware of being forced in. It’s not unheard of for full-timers to go weeks or months without a day off; if you don’t know whether you’re ready to endure that physical work for 10-12 hours a day, maybe don’t look at this job for long term care. 
Union they have helps a lot, otherwise managers and supervisors are very unethical and callous. Workers’ comp here is extremely sketchy, unless you have the union steward on your side the supervisors will bite at your ankles at the chance to force you back into work on regular standard (I am saying this from personal experience of a working injury there my experiences from my former coworkers). 
A lot of people will say they stay for the free insurance and high pay, but honestly with the amount of physical labor they’re demanding of people here, and the high potential risks of getting injured on the clock, the minimum should be $25. 
From what I’ve witnessed from workers comp situations, health and shift supervisors try to do everything in their power to pressure you back to standard no matter how severe your work injury is. be safe and cautious if you choose this place long term. turn over rate is high for a reason. 

In perishable, you are expected to lift cases that are almost 80lbs, not just 60lbs. So right off the jump they lie to you about the job expectations.

They will milk you for everything they can because they really don't want to hire anyone on. That's why they go through at least a dozen new hires a week. You will be expected to pay into a union that you're not even a part of yet. You will have to work through your breaks in order to meet your production numbers. Even then, it may not be enough because there are many factors out of your control that aren't considered that mess up your time, like the traffic of so many other people working around you and being inconsiderate. You are expected to work at a pace that puts you and others around you at a high risk of injury, and when you do get hurt, they will be happy to let you go no matter how good of an employee you are.

But if you're looking for something temporary for less than 90 days, it's a fine job with good pay. Just take your time and your breaks and don't bother trying to get hired on unless you want to be the work horse that eventually gets made into glue.

Avg mgr here does 60-plus hrs weekly, and some do over 80 with no assistants; supervisors typically get 100 or more hours per pay period. Everyone works holidays. You cannot schedule any personal life or school or anything around working with this place. There's no unity, and everything is reactive, no matter how much they preach to be proactive.--- Don't do it. Stay away! Run, run, run!!!

I was brought in to help change things. The upper management lied from day one. There is no training program so you learn as you go and they complain if you mess up. When you ask a question they look at you as if you are stupid. I had to report to people who had no clue on how to lead they just had a title. Everyone is paid the same and you have no future. You make less than the people you lead. You work 12-14 hour days and they have work your days off so you work 10 plus days in row. One shift has had 120 plus supervisors leave the company in a year. You do the math. You are a number not a team member. I would look elsewhere for employment. The job will kill your family life.

As an order selector, you start off on probation until you get hired  which can last up to 90 days or as short as 30 days depending how good you are at  hitting rate. No air conditioning in the warehouse so you're gonna be sweating. You drive a electric pallet jack and select items off the pallets/skids and build a skid of dry good grocery items, so if you're good at building pallets then you'll do quite fine. 
It's unionized so those with more seniority pick the best days off, pallet jacks, voluntary overtime etc. 
Possible mandatory overtime for off days and during scheduled shifts.
Boring hard work but decent benefits. 

They have a 'now hiring' sign permanently on the side of their building, aka they treat their warehouse like a temp service.  They hire new employees weekly, only to run them off after a short amount of time.  If you're one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a workers comp incident, they will push you to go faster and faster over time until they fire you for missing production or you quit.  Management constantly harasses you about going faster, lies about your production numbers, etc.  If you do choose to work here, don't expect your tenure to last long, as no one's does.

A typical day at work is constant chaos & chasing fires, although they preach being proactive. Management is not united, nor focused, so it responds only to external pressures constantly; back-stabbing and office politics is more important than getting the job done. Neither supervisors nor managers are happy in their positions, primarily because each member is expected to do too much, and no respect for family life or personal time is provided.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay was the only thing that was good about the job. The back stabbing supervisors all the way to the facility manager were horrible.If your looking for a real and satisfying job do not work for Zenith.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The back stabbing supervisors 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was okay,a lot of good people worked there butt off for no appreciation.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Horrible,always having to watch your back.

Not a good place to work. Your job is held over your head your first 90 days on a daily basis and you are expected to meet production goals that are not realistic without doing things that can get you fired or get you or others injured. Management doesn't stand behind you and neither does the union you pay dues to. 

The pay is good and the benefits are great... everything else, not so much. Theres only about 5 jobs for employees, based upon seniority so until you put some time in, you're gonna break your back and pick orders for a few years. The management is horrible, they have supervisors on the floor who can't even do the jobs they oversee. You never know when you'll be off, you have a set start time but your end time is based upon the completion of all orders being selected and delivered to staging areas or trucks. You only get 2 days notice of forced OT days and until you have 10 or more years in, you'll never have a weekend off.
