There is a lack of caring within the company and quickly you feel like a number and this is an opinion that I have heard from most of the guys at my depot. There is not much support for new workers who usually start in the warehouse, you have to wake up very early, handle stress, often long hours if you drive after and a physical job these are reasons why the turnover of new workers is quite high. It takes 4 years before you reach maximum pay and a year before you get coverage because some guys would use the insurance then quit. Paid breaks compared to other companies is not very good, you get one 15 minute paid break and are allowed to take a 30 minute lunch but it’s not paid that’s it. There is just not much of a company ethic of helping each other it comes from the guys themselves but they usually have to sacrifice their own work. Often we would get drivers from other depots during rushes that I would help out delaying my work because I knew they would be lost unless I helped them with their routes and I was told to just leave them figure it out. There are very little initiatives to bring employees together to build a good team spirit. Most of the employees I have talked to have mentioned the sentiment that the company only cares in how you perform and not much else and if you make a mistake you need to protect yourself. As an example they decided to enforce mandatory vaccination at a time that it was very clear that anyone could spread the virus whether vaccinated or not. It’s hard to understand why they don’t respect human rights and let people to decide for themselves. I guess not shocking since the government owns most of the company’s shares unfortunately.
