Employees feel trapped

Pros

Job security and esop. Very difficult to list anything else positive.

Cons

Training and management are a joke. There are no clear expectations for employees. If you do something good or challenging it goes completely unnoticed. Most employees don't care. Most people complain all day and truly are miserable. I believe most people feel trapped in their position and are afraid to look for work elsewhere. Little do they know regardless of their age, their skills will transfer. Most are underpaid. My advice is to leave this place. It's liberating!! Some take pride in being good at working here yet get nothing for it. It's really sad. Communication between departments and even in your own department is AWFUL. Honestly it feels like your constantly at war with someone at work and sometimes customers. Not a healthy environment. Upper management walk around with a chip on their shoulder. Even though everything I said above is 100% true Turtle will continue to grow and probably be bought out in a few years. It will grow because the process and product are in place. The company is strategically located through the area and are conveniently in place to service contractors. There are also some strong relationships in place with some major contractors that bring in large revenue. Mark my words this place will be bought out within the next 5-10'years and it will probably be the best thing to happen to everyone working there that is to scared to leave.

Pros

OK benefits, will work with you on vacation and sick days but must be approved. If you are a student this job may be OK for a starter job but keep looking.

Cons

shady on pay. Example most employees are skimmed on overtime. Nepotism is everywhere. New people that started that were children of friends were slackers while real hard working employees were passed over for promotions or raises. Problems with management being so greedy. People bring guns to work and their corporate lawyer refuses to implement a safe and gun free work environment. Sexual harassment is rampant and a problem for the company but they refuse to address it. Most women harassed just left due to the company not addressing the issue or pretending to fix but waiting until employees being harassed quit. They terminated anyone that had lodged complaints within the company to get them to address ongoing issues. So much fear mongering that goes around in this place.

Pros

Great benefits, 401k, ESOP(if an employee actually makes it there for more than a week)

Cons

Where to begin? First of all I had been here three years without a single raise in pay, after begging for a raise which I deserved they gave me a .35 cent raise. The warehouse is a revolving door for employees, never in my life working for warehouse companies have I seen people get hired and quit their first day more than I have here. Management treats it's employees like dogs. Sales gets all the glory(and pay) while the meaningless back breakers that pick, package, and ship their orders get treated like complete dirt. People get fired for ridiculous reasons sometimes, and when asked for help on shifts they always say they are constantly "hiring" or "looking." Not to mention the VP of logistics whose name we can keep out TF, who constantly takes two hour meetings to berate his warehouse employees in a group amongst their peers. Bottom line, the founders of what used to be a small family focused company would be rolling in their graves had they known how the employees are treated. Stay away you'll thank me later.
