Pros

Non. Horrible company, low pay

Cons

My experience here was horrific. I left after a week, very unwelcoming to new employees. Most employees here especially warehouse are snake’s & gossip about others behind their back. If they see something or anything they don’t like they tell even if you’re doing nothing wrong. For example, one morning I was talking to a driver they don’t like & bosses son seen it & ran to tell his daddy. I heard all about it later. They train( more like shadow another driver , who is the ears of the co.)you for 5 days & then throw you out to the wolves with 15 stops with little direction & none of the tools & equipment ( like the iPad, clipboard, or even gloves or pen) you need to do the job. The trucks are garbage & should not be on the road, some even smell like marijuana & full of trash. I heard plenty of stories from the female that work s here ( which also the trainer) of sexual harassment from bosses. Upper management here at Phoenix warehouse are very incompetent, unprofessional, & one in particular always looks like on drugs or extremely tired . They pay is literally minimum wage. When they advertise, they give a pay range keep in mind that their policy dictates that you get the lowest on that range the high would be maybe after 6 to 10 years. They don’t really like new employees here . They make stuff up & tell upper management. When I quit the warehouse manager wanted to fight me , he got really aggressive in his speech, demeanor, & attitude. Wouldn’t stop staring at me like he wanted to hurt me. I had HR on the phone & he conducted himself this way while I was with HR on phone so they heard it all. They give you false or misleading information like the tell you you will be paid $50 for attending a safety meeting weekly with a signature but the real deal is that is an attendance bonus that you only get is u had perfect attendance meaning your their mon- fri on time & work your whole shift. Lots of deception. They have an extremely high turnover for a reason . This review is reflective of the Phoenix, AZ location only.

It is great to hear you worked for a good manager who provided you with several learning opportunities. With regards to working long hours, unfortunately the warehouse environment is often unpredictable, as we have no idea how many orders are going to be placed each day. Our Night Warehouse team is tasked with ensuring each order placed that day is picked and pulled for the next day's delivery. This level of customer service means working OT will sometimes be required. We appreciate your help in living our motto of "We're Here to Help!"

Cons

Starting pay can seem a little low, but it increases repidly.
