When I first started I had no plans of ever moving up in the company. But the longer I stayed and learned abut the business I knew I wanted to make my stance. It all seemed possible but as time progress reality sunk in. It is very hard to get a raise and a promotion. You have to get approval from so many different people its ridiculous (even if your manager has backed you). The company is unorganized at times and it seems as if everyone plays the blame game. I understand the bad reviews from customers. IF you can stick it out with management I think you can go far. But if you are someone who demands for respect, and to get what you worked hard for....I just don't know.

I have been with Metropolitan for 22 years and can attest to the positive culture & continuous learning and growing one can achieve working here.  If you are looking for a brand loyal to its employees, this is the company for you! Metropolitan has provided me all of the tools and resources needed to grow and succeed right alongside with the company. Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, People First, Innovation, Integrity, Respect are some of the core values I can think of that I have experienced throughout my tenure at the company.  I am proud to work here and be part of the organization.

What is the best part of working at the company?
some of the other employees, when they started to leave so did I.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
working for a man who was a bully and liar.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
TOXIC, dysfunctional not a place I would like to stay or work for.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
making calls to furniture companies, which was a total waste of time

A typical day at metropolitan is running a 5-6 person operation with only 3 people. When one of those people aren’t there, you’re expected to pick up the slack. You’ll step up and do the job of 3 people, but when it comes time to promote them after months of doing additional work- you’ll be hit with “metros on a pause, we’re hurting financially because of the two new warehouses we just bought, we’re not doing any sort of pay raises”. Yet they’ll still expect you to go above and beyond to keep the warehouse running. This company is shady, and a joke to work for. Don’t waste your time.

Metropolitan is a fast-paced, growing leader in the industry, and I am proud to be part of this team! Team members on all levels are hardworking, highly driven and committed, which fosters our positive culture. The leadership team is always looking for new ways to improve, and is eager to implement new ideas and processes based upon employee feedback. Company promotes employee development and internal advancement.  Good benefits, also. Overall, a great place to work!

If you are lucky to get a manager that isn't terrible at their job and supports you then this is perfect. Especially if everyone gets along and performs their duties. This was not the case however, a lot of times there were lots of favoritism and push back from upper management when trying to push ideas. Or if certain managers liked you more than others then you would get privileges unfair to others. The work is about typical to any warehouse, real physical. 

I worked here for a short term last year ...I was a so called dispatch person ... this was one of the most degrading places I have ever worked. The management  as well as other employees was allowed to speak to you in a manor that was so  so degrading. 
I have allot of years in management in the furniture industry as well as the logistic area.... The customers are treated bad as well. 
to sum it up, this is a place I would NEVER recommend to anyone.

No one really knows what they are doing. There are no SOPs, you just learn from the person that has been there the longest. There are 3 shifts and no communication. You have to work 6 days out of the week if you ask for a day you'll get fired. There is a lack of equipment forklifts, cherry pickers, scanners, etc. 
Management is stubborn and won't listen to any new ideas. When you go to complain they tell you you're the person that's wrong. 

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. 

If you're someone who is ambitious and career-oriented, this is not the right place to begin or grow your career. Micro-management is rampant. Morale is generally low, and many long-time employees seem stuck. Cultural differences between teams exist, but the overall environment is not conducive to professional development. 

The most un lawful company no raises no extra overtime no good benefits carrying 300 pound furniture and they rush you to do it hr actually told us we are never getting a raise no matter how good the company is doing
