Its a good place to work
Operations Supervisor (Current Employee), Romeoville, IL –
I chase orders for our customer and motivate associates. I learned in my seven years that I can be a driven leader. The managment at my site has changed quite a bit. Same with my coworkers. Hardest part of my job is the demand of the customer as it is somtimes rediculas. I enjoy leading associates.

Supervisors were fun to work with. Made dealing with dead lines fun during O.T. on weekends. Had pizza days when we went over quota and hit deadlines
equipment operator (Former Employee), Moberly, MO –
Pros: pizza parties, supervisors gave out initiative to motivate.
Cons: short breaks 2 a day.
Grab your machine and run. Hit your rates before lunch to be able to stop for clean up.

Learned how to pick orders quickly and accurately.

Management was fun.

Co workers had a bit too much drama dragging them down.

Hardest part was working the overtime when we had orders that didn't drop till the last possible minute

Company picnics every summer. – more...  Pizza party after meeting deadlines;. – less

Hard work for minimum wage.
Wrapper Machine Operator (Former Employee), Palmyra, PA –
Pros: getting to operate machinery.
Cons: lifting heavy boxes.
A typical day was mainly lifting and stacking heavy boxes. I learned to pack, stack and supply candy. I also learned how to use a number of machine throughout the warehouse. The management staff was nice and sometimes helpful. The coworkers were also nice. The hardest part of the job was constant lifting of heavy boxes and the most enjoyable part was – more...  sometimes being able to make decisions. – less

Good place to work, yet moved too far away.
auditor (Former Employee), Minooka, IL –
Pros: h
I started out picking orders and unloading trailers. Then I was moved to all the "wal-mart" orders because of my accuracy in my picking. Some years later I was promoted to auditor of the warehouse 2nd. shift. I held that position for five years. The warehouse moved.
I treat co-workers the way I would like to be treated; with respect and congeniality. – more...  Management was eight different supervisors in ten years. The hardest part of the job was learning how to use the "slip-sheet" forklift. Also to learn the RF. scanning system. The best part was promoted to auditor for my attention to detail. – less

Fun job with good team atmosphere
Team Lead/Forklift Operator (Former Employee), Milan, IN –
Pros: good bosses, good benefits and incentives
Cons: payday got messed up a few times
Exel was a good company to work for and I would still be working for them if the facility that I was assigned to hadn't closed. My supervisors were always willing to listen and help me grow into a better employee. When my wife had our 2nd child, I was a few months short of paid leave, but Exel worked with me and advanced my paid vacation slightly so – more...  I could assist her. Exel provided me with the tools I needed to make myself successful with them. – less

Productive and Fun work place
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Hillside, IL –
Cons: worked in doc office and it was always dusty
Great place to work. This was a pretty busy environment and that was a plus for me because it made the day go by faster. The employees were friendly and team players for the most part. Here you learned something new everyday. The most enjoyable part about working at Exel were the people and the customers.

I was laid off after working there 5 years
Front desk /Operations Assistant (Former Employee), Toledo, OH –
Pros: full time great benefits
Cons: was not a job for the future no security
I ran the front desk met all the drivers that walked in the building or salespeople. I did the data entry on all the Bill of lading invoices. I took care of the inbound and outbound deliveries. I really did like this job but Chrysler-Jeep was having problems and they laid off people and so did our company, because we followed their schedule when they – more...  had a day off so did we. This job I did enjoy it was a great learning experience. We audited car parts so that Jeep could build their cars in a timely matter. Everything had to be perfect on the racks in the exact sequence that the cars are being built. I was also trained to audit the car parts and not only ran the front desk but worked in the warehouse we were cross trained in case someone was out for the day. Sad that things had changed for the company. I had a call back date but was told I was laid off with a bunch of other people indefinitely. So I had moved to a different city because I remarried and now I am seeking a new job. I have been doing Temporary office work since. But I did take a class through the Source in Toledo a Medical Administrative course to run a front desk in a doctors office and also took a Microsoft 7 class which kept up my skills. – less

Stressful workplace!
Export / Domestic CSR (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
A typical day would consist of inputting export shipments, and printing all the documents required for customs and transport. The management wasn't always the best. Everything was really secretive, and you never knew what was going to happen next. There was no room for advancement in the company. It was a VERY stressful workplace!
