Good people. Limited opportunities
Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Columbus, OH - August 2, 2023
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNot a bad place just can’t get a grip on organization. Bought out by a large corp, 401k taken away, Profit sharing is nice but they try to keep salaries low with the assumption you’ll get a large profit share once a year.

Was Fun
Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Monroe, OH - July 24, 2023
Was fun until they sold the rest of their shares and the new owners changed everything. New system was not user friendly like the old system and they barely trained on it because the trainers were learning themselves!

Decent hours…not horrible work.
Company Manager (Current Employee) - Delaware - July 4, 2022
Was a lot better when I started. Then another company bought the place. Everything changed. Benefits are mediocre at best now. No 401k anymore. The entire way we did business changed. And not for the better.

An overall good job
Order Selector (Current Employee) - 1415 Old Leonard Ave - December 1, 2020
Pretty good place to work. Only downsides are organization and cleanliness. It’s a mess here, but if you are a people person and have drive you’ll catch on and be able to move on your own. Not much room for advancement, most of the good positions are held by lifelong employees.
Pros
Laid back management
Cons
Organization, inability to advance

Alot of freedom if you are an average employee. If your a great worker expectations varied. Favoritism is abundant!
Inventory Specialist (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - August 23, 2020
I was fired for bejng a concerned employee over safety issues with covid-19. There is no circulation in back of building where most the work is done. Management rarely qore masks but always made a point to myself how masks need to be worn. After my concerns were conveyed to the risk manager/CFO I was bullied, intimidated & terminated for a personal issue of a co-worker that broight her business to my attention as well ad being insubordinate for waiting for my ride after being forced to leave for no apparent reason.
Pros
Flexible with personal schedule for some!
Cons
Does not care avout emlloyees just profits. Seemingly racially bias as well

Family Company with Growth Opportunities
Office (Current Employee) - Columbus, OH - July 30, 2020
Have been with the company for over a decade. Started out part-time entry level position and able to move up to full-time mid level position.
Have seen company more than double in size. Like all companies, have had changes in staff/management. Excited to see new management innovations to increase efficiency and profitability.
Have been trained sufficiently as job has changed/moved up in company. Have felt very supported by managers and appreciated.
Pros
growth opportunities; profit sharing bonuses
Cons
short lunch breaks;

Toxic environment in dead-end job
DISTRIBUTION SPECIALIST (Former Employee) - Aurora, OH - December 26, 2019
The only rewarding thing is the salary for what you do. but the work environment is brutal, everyone is out for oneself, no job security, no work-life-balance, rare internal promotion. One will age about 10 years over 3-5 and positive personalities deteriorate over time.

Shipping and Receiving clerk (Former Employee) - Livonia, MI - November 18, 2019

Safety Issues
Driver/Warehouse (Former Employee) - Dayton, OH - October 2, 2019
No emphasis on Safety. There's power equipment like order pickers , reach truck and forklifts that aren't checked daily for issues like most companies enforce. There seat belts ,tethers and harness on the equipment had mini rips on them. There palletized racking has a lot of bends and dings from people running into them over time. I've seen guy go 15ft plus up with no safety tether to retrieve orders like bathe tubs and toilets just walking in between racks.

Not a place that cares for workers at all, very unorganized, cluttered, and extremely unsafe working conditions!!!!
Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - August 26, 2019
A lot of things on organized and very unsafe workers have to do more than they're supposed to to assist the company OSHA needs to go in there and evaluate that place and force them to make a change for the safety of their workers. The pay rate is acceptable if you are desperate, but workers are underpaid
Pros
No pros
Cons
Miserable and uncomfortable environment

No Teamwork
Manager (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - February 14, 2019
Different departments were always battling. No department helps another when trying to achieve the same outcome. Customer service. Employees would walk out of the job and not complete assignments. These employees were allowed to come back to work because the company does not pay a good hourly rate in order to keep "exceptional" employees on the lower level.
Cons
Worked 12-14 hr days with no appreciation

Has its good and bad parts.
Driver/Fleet Manager (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - December 12, 2018
The company itself was good, good people you work with for the most part, but the owners kids are running it to the ground. Unfortunately office management and floor management do not communicate very wheel. a classic case of the high ups not understanding how life is for those who work for a living. Unfortunately their trucks were mostly in terrible shape.
Pros
good pay, good floor management, plenty of hours.
Cons
entitled high ups who look down on others. poor equipment condition

Pleasant place to work
Receptionist (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - August 24, 2017
Job required to greet customers and answer phones. Management and employees are very nice and helpful. The hardest part of the job is not having enough to do during the day.
