England Logistics reviews

I cannot speak for the Salesman, but the operations, support, admin, etc are just not compensated competitively or valued by management. Expect to be overworked, and offered little for any extra effort. The company talks about opportunity to move with in the company and opportunity to "move up" and be paid more but the reality is that most people quit within the first 6 months... Maybe they are the smart ones. The company talks of "internal values" of team building and good communication but in reality, it has reached a culture of bullying and intimidation. Fear is the driving factor to get people to work hard. Benefits are terrible. I have found and pay for a better health care package through a private insurance company rather than pay more money for higher deductibles through the England owned health insurance company that offers benefits.

There really is not much training and development being done for the employees and managers. There are a lot of new managers/directors there, and they do not get an ample opportunity to learn leadership skills. I saw this happen with the Directors I worked with, and I was also not given a day of training before taking on the management of 2 teams. I think that they are really missing the mark with this, and lose a lot of talent out the doors of people that this new leadership is supposed to be managing. Investing in this would more than pay for itself. From a Lean standpoint, this is probably a lot more costly than they realize. From the first day I was there I noticed, and was told time and time again from each team I managed that they were scared on a daily basis of losing their job. I think that there is a common theme in the reviews you read here, and they coincide with a reality of the culture of fear that exists. EL is doing a lot to work on this, but this is a large obstacle to overcome.
