Great - Manager Parsec, LLC Employee Review

Stable, weekly pay, good people to work with.

Not a ton of room to grow.

3 days off 3 days on work schedule

The training program is inadequate. New hires are given approximately two weeks to learn two completely different roles, one of which involves operating diesel hostler trucks to park 53 foot trailers alongside active rail lines. This is not enough time to safely learn either position, let alone both. The lack of proper training creates a cycle where employees are set up to fail from day one, and the ones who are competent enough to recognize how poorly the operation runs leave for better opportunities as soon as they can. Safety is a serious concern. Employees regularly work impaired and management is aware of it but takes no meaningful action because enforcing policy would result in losing a significant portion of the workforce. Workers walking trains at night are exposed to fall hazards of 10 feet or more. The constant camera surveillance in every truck suggests leadership knows the operation is unsafe but would rather monitor problems than fix them. The culture is toxic from the top down. There are real issues with racial dynamics that go unaddressed. As a supervisor, you are expected to manage a workforce that has no incentive to follow policy because there are no real consequences for misconduct. You can send someone home for a legitimate reason and the only outcome is that person holding a grudge against you while continuing to behave the same way. Discipline exists on paper but not in practice. When employees attempted to unionize, leadership responded with union busting tactics rather than addressing the underlying issues that drove the effort. The VP visited the site during this period and spoke exclusively with union organizers while completely ignoring the supervisory staff who were dealing with the fallout daily. Insurance is expensive for the level of risk involved in the work. This was the most difficult and poorly managed work environment I have experienced in my career.
