Both the Scanner and the Picker positions are eligible for Piece-Rate-Pay premiums which means that they are paid an incentive if they exceed the productivity quota. Once a Scanner or a Picker reaches the productivity quota he/she starts earning additional cents per line of an order processed. The average rate of pay can easily be $12 to $16 an hour or more. This productivity incentive was put in place to help complete the day's work without adding hours to the day, we hope that with high productivity an employee can earn a great paycheck without working overtime hours.

Pros

Pizza Fridays and that's about it.

Cons

Antiquated systems, horrible management, cheap with benefits and salaries, scary neighborhood, crappy hours, uncomfortable physical environment, lots of screaming and yelling back and forth amongst employees, no public transportation around. Should I continue?

In 2015 L&R Distributors established uniform job titles, departments, and salary bands and issued a Cost of Living Increase to most employees. In the first quarter of 2016, L&R Distributors launched The L&R Way corporate re-branding initiative, performance appraisals with merit increases, and an Organizational Development program to help all employees develop professionally. Finally, within the next two years, L&R Distributors will be combining the Brooklyn and Long Island locations into one Corporate location. We are working to find a new location that is closer to public transportation.

Pros

The company buys pizza every Friday. The director of operations should be running the business. He knows more than the VP's

Cons

Does not offer salary that are being offered in the market. Management is very disrespectful to there staff. When hired they state you will be reviewed in one year and that does not happen. Moral is terrible . A lot of the employees don't get along. People are always yelling at somebody
