Vantaggi
I recently left my position with ERI in Texas to move back home to Wisconsin. I have never had the pleasure to work with so many caring people in all of my career. We weren't just co-workers, but became family. The management staff truly cares about the well being of all of the employees. And that's hard to come by, when you are working in a warehouse setting. You aren't just a number there. I worked my way up the ladder rather quickly, from my hire date, and if I didn't believe in the integrity of the company or the leadership staff, I never would have taken on additional responsibilities and decided to grow with the company. Employees need accountability, but seeking to understand their individual struggles goes far in retaining employees. I feel like the management team in the Flower Mound facility lives by this rule and it's a great rule to adhere to when you truly care about team building and employee retention.
Svantaggi
ERI needs to do a salary study in the surrounding area, to understand why the turnover rate is so high. The pay isn't great, so employees tend to leave rather quickly when a business in the surrounding area is hiring. The PTO program should be revisited. It's hard to gain any substantial PTO in the first few years.
