Do not apply

Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Kansas – February 18, 2019

Management is perfectly good at lying. They treat employees as objects. All they care are themselves and numbers. They get rid of employees whenever they want despite of management promises of promotion. And more fantastic thing about being a liar is what they call it as a tactical communication. During my tenure, I know it happens not only in my department but all departments.

Pros

Location

Cons

Full of empty promise

Work hard, earn hard

CDL A Delivery Driver (Current Employee) – Boston, MA – February 17, 2019

Above average pay, but be prepared to work for it. Unless you have about 5+ years senority, you will be delivering to an average of 10 plus stops (that are always changing, despite bidding routes) that are NOT pallet stops. You will move everything in your truck at least twice (average day 800-1200 cases) and deliver with two wheeler up and down flights of stairs, through boston alleys, and into low ceiling storage areas. 99% of the time I did not have a helper.
Made roughly 90k in my first year, so how much do you value your home time and physical activity... that will tell you whether you will survive this job or not.

Pros

good money

Cons

changing routes, 12-14hr days, hand touch almost all freight

Ehhh

Accountant (Former Employee) – Cypress, TX – February 16, 2019

It was ok I suppose. Good place to get experience and it looks good on your resume but they don't personally care for employees. They mainly care about making many and not personally about what the employees think but then again that's how most corporations are.

Management!!! Need new management!!!

Order Selector (Former Employee) – Kent, WA – February 13, 2019

horrible management and they play favoritism to certain guys. long hours. people call out or leave early which leaves the pickers short handed with more work on their plate. also they don’t get punished because they are the teachers pet. must be nice. no energy. no motivation. same old stuff just a different day. no family time. be ready to work 16-17 hr days. i’ve seen it all here. don’t work at the kent location. no fun and very boring and you’ll get worn out. they don’t reward hard work unless you kiss up to them. the snow storm that just happened, yeah i got fired for calling in and guess what, i had enough sick time to cover but they let me go. ain’t that something? if management doesn’t change, this place will suffer.

Pros

money. cool co-workers. union(at times)

Cons

management trash. long hours. always short staff. union(at times)

Laid Off

TRX Credit Analyst (Current Employee) – Suffolk, VA – February 12, 2019

I was recently laid off from the company due to down sizing. I started in May and was told in November that I would be provided a severance package that started in March. Half way through February I was advised that their was a lack of communication and even though they said in November I would be paid (6) weeks severance and (2) weeks of vacation, I would actually be receiving none of that. We were not able to use any time starting in January to look for other jobs (i.e. go to interviews) so with (2) weeks left until the job is complete, I have been left high and dry with only being provided a "we are sorry".
