Owens & Minor Employer Reviews

Great company to work for! Open door policy, family oriented.

Good company bad management work hard no reward on 2nd shift

You will like working here if you can get into their high potential track. However, the selection of these people is based on favoritism. HR exec is cruel and mistreats employees to the point of making them cry. Her mean spirited leadership style trickles down to the rest of management. They say they care about employees but only really develop their – more... favorites.Their Ed dept is filled with managers who seem to do nothing but go to meetings or pick up executives dry cleaning. Total waste of money. They pay little claiming its because they provide great work culture and opportunities. Not if you aren't one of their favorites. Good luck if you work there. It really is greener on the other side of the fence. – less

A typical day at work in the 1st shift was great, we worked as a team helping each other out. There were many times we had triple the work for the team but we manage to over come the matter. The hardest part of the job was dealing was a lot of call outs and people quitting without notice. I learned to work hard and safe on a rapid pace to meet deadlines – more... as a team. The most enjoyable part was meeting the quota for the incident free report every month and being rewarded with lunches and company rewards bucks. – less

pick order pick order pick orders... management kick a++ all they think about is money! hardest part of job is long hours

You are reconized for a job well done. I would have never again worked for anyone else. Due to company desisions beyond my control my circumstances have changed.

your job is your life.......crazy overnight hours. job first, everything else comes after. trying to get a day off is like pulling off a limb by hand

Productive work place with good staff in need of directed leadership.

Worst place I have ever been at. Little paid & your hours get cut short & management is so fake especially the GM & Warehouse Manger so I would thing twice about signing up for this job.

good place, friendly co-workers....terrible hours. shift usually start around 1am for drivers, 4am for dock workers....not the greatest hours if you have a family. and for the management.....your a number!!!

To deleivered medical supplies to defferent hospitals.I learn where the deferent hospitals were in houston.Management was great.Good coworkers was good we work together.The hardest part of the job was to spot the trailers at the different docks at the hospitals with a 53ft. trl.The best part of the job was going to different towns.

Owens&minor are the worst company I've ever worked for, "especially under Stanford hospital." This company has temp workers training each other, then your put on the spot the next day doing the job alone "how can you do it with just notes done by your hand and they move through everything so quickly!!!" (I wish they would of given me a book to study – more... at least before letting me go) – less

The day starts off with making sure the deliver truck arrives on time at my location. The morning hours are mostly dedicated to observing orders in the system and pushing them through. You have to check the levels in the distribution center to make judgement calls on whether or not to issue stock. You also must handle customer needs, conduct research – more... on new items, and follow up on items that are on back order. Over all, pretty simple but somedays you can get a rush of orders especially before extended holidays. Working with the military has been difficult due to their foolish rules. Management is good, but because I'm an on-site rep, I am hundreds of miles away from mine. The company has nothing to do with my network issues (it's a military network) but I have felt as if my protest go unheard at times. The military will not allow me to plug my work laptop into their network due to security concerns, even though it is vital to their business. Being autonomous, is great but has drawbacks. – less

all around this was a good stable company. however as my tenure went on, many decisions were made that made my particular warehouse a bad place to be.

days consist of pulling orders for all of our reginal hospitals.
the medical field is very demanding.
managment has to be very knowledgable.
co workers are key parts on every aspect.
the most difficult part of a work day is, having to correct mistakes.
the best part is knowing your job is saving lives.

Here I picked and pull orders for different hospitals and different departments. Night shift job. Great co-workers

Opportunity for building skill set, and advancement.
Very supportive management team and coworkers.
Currently manage PPI Supplies in Cath Lab, IR and EP Lab at hospital in the Birmingham area.

No time to do anything during the day, typical day at work was till about 2:30am if not later that is with starting your day at 3:30pm

I enjoy the job I perform. I have learned to work independently picking orders by voice pick. The management team is functional and I enjoy working with all my co-workers, The hardest part of my job is the hours. The hours are long and the orders are sometimes non stop, The most enjoyable part of the job is completely the orders timely with no errors, – more... I strive at being proficient. – less

Managers seem to be biased and unfair toward there employees. They almost force you to work 10+ hr days. And they give you no assistance with furthering yourself through their online classes.
