Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Open communication and transparency of objectives
They listen to you when you ask questions
We are griwing in a tough economy
They try to do their best
We are a team work well, together we all complement each others strong points
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Paying their engineers more and providing more substantive benefits. The cost of living has gone significantly up and "free lunch" at the corporate office doesn't pay the bills
Stop hiring your random uneducated relatives and high school/college friends and placing them into upper management positions over jobs they have no clue how to do an have no interest in learning anything about.
Proper leadership in the dispatch department
Review from Operations Dept
Taking pride in their buildings and equipment
Transparency and truth with employees
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I just love working daily
Review from Operations Dept
Base Salary is above market
The way you can collect your compensation on
Pto and bonuses, holiday pay
I like the insurance! And the 401k
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
An occasional pay increase that is somewhere near what the labor/field positions get would be a good start. Stop expecting miracles for peanuts. Telling everyone that you set a new profit record daily and then telling them you can't afford to give them a yearly raise is pretty sorry.
Why? What your dealing with customers yelling at you because they paid for delivery and you won't carry their 1000 lb pallet of flooring to their 2nd floor.
The complexity variety of skillset and general danger of my position requires a higher price point. We are overworked and undercompensated to the highest regard. Our rate of pay is comparable to minimum wage. Minimum wage for specialized and licensed professionals is insulting and OPPRESSIVE.
Removing the management that is the root cause of the poor culture and environment. Lisa needs to go.
Pay drivers overtime after 8 worked hours
What are some of the best things about your team?
The drivers and dock workers are amazing! They all work very hard
We are truly a family
Review from Operations Dept
The way you can communicate with the staff and other workers
Communication is mostly effective anyday
We jave eachothers back! And we wirk as a team!
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Communication, better work effort and less complaints
Review from Operations Dept
Stop acting like drama queens and minding their own business. Management fuels this behavior .
It's not the co-workers that need to improve its the
The company makes sure to keep the employees at odds with each other
To late every one working at that terminal are disappointed with management.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Friendly office personnel, sometimes cook out breakfast and meetings. All great.
Friendly enviroment to work on
Management i stead of helping employees yells at them
No positivity, hostile work environment.
That we're all equal. There's no discrimination. All for one and One for All.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Replace upper management with some people that have a little sense. Stop promoting friends and family into positions they are not qualified for. Replace HR management with people that will do something about the toxic work environment created by other managers and directors.
Better management and better equipment.
Treating All employees equally and allow everyone to get overtime if they want it and not same individuals
Review from Operations Dept
Management. There is no support from HR.
Stop the favoritism and personal relationships. It truly is about who you know at this company.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Nothing extraordinary about it. Just an interview
Review from Operations Dept
I like the way it was easy and fast
The communication through the hiring process.
Friendly and low-key. Repeat. Repeat.
It was informal and more relaxed
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Not very user friendly. Filters out too many possible candidates due to the algorithm design set to look for a unicorn employee that would never work for these amateurs merely because they expect miracles for McDonalds money.
Judge applicants on performance, not on promises or prior experience.
Review from Operations Dept
The communication is extremely low
Treat the prospective employees with respect and treat it as an interview not a interrogation
What makes you most happy at work?
Customers that have positive energy . Seeing drivers being so helpful and active
When the dock supervisor takes off-
Interacting with my customers and giving them the best and friendly service
Consistent work enviroment , caters to my relaxed style
My co workers! But the management is notvthat great at my terminal!
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Slowly sinking ship that will wind up at the mercy of a labor union sooner or later and that will put them out of business due to their poor decision making.
Freight is always damaged. Line haul loads show up tipped over and just a wreck. Could all be fixed with better training and taking a little extra time.
Management. They like to create and fuel drama between drivers.
Nobody cares because of poor management
Management hire better management or send them to a management course class
What do you like best about your company?
I like this company because they keep us in new equipment they let us run from state to state its almost like they give us a little bit of freedom
