Pros

None at all! Can't think of one pro.

Cons

Low, insulting pay. Unrealistic expectations. Horrible Management. Unbelievable turnovers. HR Dept. are unfriendly, stuck up people who don't even speak when they pass you. They also believe gossip that they hear. Not one black person has an office...ONLY white people! Worse company I've ever come across. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME INTERVIEWING...UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A SLAVE!

L&R Distributors Response

The most important thing to address is your concern regarding potential discrimination. As can be observed from the photographs of Company Events posted to our page, we have a very diverse group of individuals working at our Corporate Office. We want everyone to feel welcome, included, and part of the team. Our published policies are very clear about providing a safe and inclusive work environment for all employees. Anything that is not in line with providing a welcoming environment should be brought to the attention of a Manager, the HR Team, or, if you aren't comfortable approaching these individuals, L&R Distributors has an External Human Resources Consultant who visits the office regularly, and he is available to all employees to discuss concerns confidentially. Regarding the distribution of Office Space at our Industry City Offices. The decision was to keep offices for only members of the Executive Team, the Human Resources Team, and/or Managers who have a specific role that requires confidential discussions or regular meetings with clients, vendors, or customers. All members of Staff have access to Hotel Offices (empty offices that are reserved for meetings) or our Conference Room or Huddle Room. These offices are available to all staff. Compensation is always a topic of discussion as the Leadership Team wants to provide the best package that we can afford. As a National Wholesale Distributor employing individuals across the United States, there are many factors to consider. We have made many attempts over the past few years to provide the best package possible including: Consolidating our Benefits Offerings across the Organization to lower Premiums and offer better quality insurance options; Reviewed our Salary Bands against Job Descriptions and DOL Data by Region; Develop a Career Path which has resulted more leadership roles for high-performing staff. At the Corporate Office we have also held several raffles to win tickets to sporting events or attend other outings. Additionally, we've held Bowling Nights and other events for Office Staff. We've noted that you are a Former Employee, but we still invite you to contact the Human Resources Team to discuss any specific concerns that you've had as we are always working toward offering the most inclusive environment and competitive employer brand possible.

It's difficult to provide a response without knowing which department for which you work. The past year has been a year of change, we relocated our Long Island and Brooklyn Warehouses into one brand new location in New Jersey, we also relocated both offices into one new location at Industry City. These changes are bound to have impact on every department and make things feel a bit chaotic for all associates. Regarding the Policies and Procedures, the Human Resources Department has published an Employee Handbook which all employees must review upon hire. It's also available through our HRIS System, BambooHR. The HR Team is always available to answer questions and help employees find clarity. Regarding Department Specific Procedures, our Field Operations Team heavily uses our Intranet along with some YouTube videos for training. Each Office Department has their own method of maintaining SOPs. As you indicated that you are a current employee, you are invited to meet with your Manager, or the Human Resources Department to provide specific feedback so we have an opportunity to help you find clarity and more satisfaction in your role.
