Pros

This was a good job to learn business conduct and the basics of supply chain. Stay 2 years and move on.

Cons

There was a small group of people that did most of the work. Many people skate by doing the bare minimum. The good people burn out and leave because they are over worked, under paid, and under appreciated. Pay raises are negligble and they string people along with BBQs that the employees cook at and lame team events like scavenger hunts and "fitness" walks. Because it is a small company, there is little to no room for career advancement. If you get "promoted" to a lead, it doesn't come with a pay increase. They carry a lot of sub par products with high rates of return. The buyers only know how to buy but not how to read a market or properly vet products. Don't be fooled by the top workplace awards. Fear driven encouragement by HR with an email of how to answer the survey is why they get the award.

Pros

Cool People, Low Stress, Relatively chill work. Great overall. Enjoyed working here!

Cons

The work is repetitive but that's the nature of shipping. Some repetitive strain on joints depending on position.

Pros

There aren’t a ton. I enjoyed the company of some of my coworkers but this place is an absolute dead-end. The 5 star reviews are either fake or from a select few who are paid adequately.

Cons

Everyone aside from management is underpaid however, you’re expected to “wear many hats” and provide extra work without compensation. You can see several responses from the company saying their wages are adequate but that’s only one side of the coin. The entire attitude of the company is that of distrust. “We’ll pay you more, if you prove yourself” “We’ll think about a promotion if you spend extra time on the weekend” etc. Overall, this place is just a stepping stone to learn how to navigate terrible leadership.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that your experience here was not a positive one. We’d like to address some of your key concerns. We have a commitment to our vendors to ensure all aspects of orders are handled promptly and effectively. However, we are equally committed to ensuring our employees have a balanced workload. Most of our employees work 40 hours a week. Salary employees may have the need to work more hours if they have something they want to complete, or they are flexing their time. We offer both alternate and hybrid schedules. During Q4 our workload may go up and our warehouse team works overtime hours, but they are compensated for it. We encourage any employees to speak with their managers or HR if they have concerns about their workloads or their hours. Being a small, privately held company it can be challenging to have a dedicated career path for each employee. That said, we strive to have those conversations at every opportunity to ensure every person can be their best selves at work. We’ve added LinkedIn Learning for training and development opportunities for every employee. Regardless of the level of experience, everyone that comes through our doors has an opportunity to develop skills and knowledge of the supply chain as it relates to product distribution. This builds experience whether an employee chooses to build a career here or elsewhere; and we are humbled to be part of their journey. We are always focused on our team, and the vast majority of all feedback we receive from our employees reflects a high-level of satisfaction across the organization. If you have thoughts on what we can do better, please feel free to reach out to me directly at hr@virtualsupply.com.
