From bad to worse
LVN Charge Nurse (Former Employee) - Tyler, TX - May 8, 2021
I worked for this company for 2 yrs. When I left, I felt like the only thing I gained while working there, was the experience I could add to my resume. The mgmt isn't consistent and if you have concerns, it was like pulling teeth to get someone to answer questions. The patient care was poor; some employees bent over backwards to help residents..but unfortunately, the majority of staff was terrible. Not only hard to find, but some would leave and only returned to clock out at end of shift. It was ridiculous. I mainly worked on weekends, we didn't even have a weekend supervisor. There was no accountability. I decided to cut my losses and move forward somewhere else.
Pros
Baylor pay weekends
Cons
Food served to residents was terrible, no incentives.

If you are not ready to work 24/7 and not have a life; this may not be for you.
Chiropractor Office Manager/Property Manager (Former Employee) - Beeville, TX - May 1, 2020
It's a husband/wife company and the company is very focused in making money quickly and they have goals set. You will be the person that is needed to run their business with no error and use your analytical thinking and problem solving to achieve their success.

Outside sales
Outside sales associate (Former Employee) - Denver, CO - November 21, 2019
Outside cold sales are the worst and was not the best sales job I have ever had they get you in by telling you that you will make six figures in six months but that’s a lie the average is about 50 to 70 k if your good at it

I did not make any money there and they refuse to work with me after 4-5 month
Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Oklahoma City, Okla. - November 3, 2019
As I mention I did not recieve proper training from management. I was placed with a new manager who just leaning the business. He was not good in instructing others.

Contract state 4 days work $130/day. . Not true. They over hire. Standby drivers with no work
Amazon Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - August 3, 2019
Hired. Excited. Go to area to start. Sign in sheet. Wait. 38 drivers. 15 get a truck. Everyone who signed in must go to warehouse and help load trucks. Pay-$25. So why are u here? Cuz the contract STATES that we will be scheduled days to work u have to appear or be fired. But the schudule doesn't mean they put u to work ( and it's NOT first come, first served.) They have fav drivers. If a fav drivers was out, then maybe out of the may out of the 23 spare drivers, u get work for just one day. Also, this job is rediculous. Everyone cud do a better job if they reduced the load, buy more trucks and get better service. But they'd rather have profits to owners.

not a profitable place to work
Sales consultant - B2B sales, licensed in Oregon (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - December 31, 2018
Commission work is very difficult to get started. The company was not doing as well as I was originally led to believe when interviewed. My supervisor was outstanding. He put a lot of time and effort in to training me in insurance sales

Drama!
Shipping/ Inspector (Former Employee) - High Point, NC - September 25, 2018
Fighting brothers everyday. One day you work their and the next one brother gets mad at the other and fires 10 people just to call them back 2 weeks later wanting you back. The cycle repeats over and over.

Fairly relaxing environment
RECRUITING SPECIALIST (Current Employee) - High Point, NC - May 15, 2018
Great starter job. Pay is not the best at all, they don't like to actually hire employees but instead just abuse staffing agencies. Most notably I enjoyed the fact I was able to just work and not really be micromanaged. I learned more about my job and how to effectively fix various issues with their processes even if my findings were not implemented by others or really even recognized by the company. I really never was provided with a clear distinction of my job title or duties as an employee. This made working there rather difficult at times, especially when things slowed down. I learned some great skills pertaining to inventory and processing inbound and outbound product.
Pros
Relaxed environment, fast paced, mostly consistent work load
Cons
Short lunches, no pay increases or benefits of any kind, no 401k

Terrible workplace
Warehouse/Shipping Coordinator (Former Employee) - High Point, NC - February 8, 2018
Colonial is not the type company that I would suggest if your are looking for fair treatment, job security or a fair salary. If you live with your parents and have very limited responsibilities that maybe it would be for you. The management staff do not appreciate their employees and are very disrespectful. Do NOT APPLY.
Pros
None
Cons
Poorly ran operation
