Vantaggi

The benefits and stock/profit sharing that become available are great. I’ve taken care of more health issues in the past two years than I have in the 6 years prior because I can actually use my PTO and sick time. I’ll also have a down payment for a house in another year with my profit sharing (housing market willing) As far as the actual work, it’s not hard work and the systems used are easy to grasp. Team lifting is encouraged and you can be trained on any of the larger equipment after a while. It’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a distribution center.

Svantaggi

While you’re not given more responsibilities than your job description requires, the ones that you have are expected to be met regardless of how impossible the task may be. If the volume of orders doubles or triples from the previous year, you’re still expected to get everything done in the same amount of time, or “encouraged” to come in early to get a head start. Don’t be surprised by unrealistic expectations from management especially during busy season. Also don’t expect to move up without putting in at least ten years. You can move laterally to different departments and sometimes that can come with a pay raise depending on the job, but management is something only given through tenure, regardless of your previous experience.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I know it can be more of a challenge to do so from a warehouse environment, but please make an effort (if you're not already doing so) to provide your thoughts and feedback in our quarterly feedback surveys, and ideas for process improvements on the Spark platform (you can find that link on Portal). Spark is run by our Innovation team and the Continuous Improvement team and is a very active platform where employees are sharing ideas and discussing ways to improve our work processes. Many of these turn into projects and implementations. Additionally, feedback from our quarterly surveys is read and managers are encouraged to work on areas of note.

Vantaggi

Many opportunities to learn about distribution and management. Pto is three weeks per year plus holidays and over a s Week of sick time. If you work here longer, you can buy enough company shares to receive a sizeable dividend each year. You are allowed to buy about 5% of your salary in company shares per year and then receive usually 20% of that back per year. The profit sharing plan contributes 10% of your salary to your 401k account but you need to be vested to keep it all.

Svantaggi

You will need a second job to live. Sales reps make way more and do half the work but they report to their managers much more. If you are a CSR, sales people feel entitled to treat you however they want and their manager will back them up. You are watched by coworkers and management like a high surveillance prison especially when you're new but they will leave you alone if you're good at your job after a year or so. Graybar brags about how much revenue and profit they make but middle and upper management suck it all up leaving scraps for the workers who made it for them.
