Reviews about "upper management"
Return to all Reviews- 1.0Apr 16, 2022Inside SalesFormer Employee, less than 1 year
Pros
Good start up pay, provided equipment.
Cons
There was only one person training that was professional. All the other trainers were a mess of what not to do working from home. My supervisor did not seem to care about his job, as though he was only there for a paycheck. Upper management has no idea the curse words used in the training and how little the company was for their customers. It seemed to be all about getting as much money from the customers as possible.
- 3.0Nov 12, 2015Division ControllerCurrent Employee, more than 5 yearsTampa, FL
Pros
Good people at the Business Unit with fast pace of growth. Some opportunity to advance but limited depending if willing to relocate. Improving processes and key performance metrics to strive for continuous improvement.
Cons
Lots of bureaucratic hurdles and politics. Don't seek with in for grooming talent for higher level positions. Volume of change can be overwhelming and lack of understanding by upper management what the challenges are in the field.

Pros
You have a cell phone that you luckily get to receive emails that add more work to your already stretched day. The five personal days, and two to three weeks vacation you receive that prevents you from totally going over the edge.
Cons
The extremely long hours and Saturdays you work. It is such a joke to look at your pay stub and see you are only getting paid for the first 40 hours you work which you usually reached on Wednesday. All upper management talk about what they used to do when in their own minds they were successful. They don't have an answer when you ask them 'Why are you here instead of your former job'?

- 1.0Oct 16, 2015Maintenance ClerkFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsMilpitas, CA
Pros
The lower level office workers and upper management are approachable and cooperative. There is a camaraderie among the office workers which is nice, but unfortunately is caused by contention between workers and mid-level managers.
Cons
Oppressive and rigidly corporate company culture. The average employee is severely overworked and under appreciated. There are more managers assigning tasks then there are workers to complete them. Some contention between union and non-union employees.

Upper management seemed to care but the employees that will train you make you feel like you are making a mistake working there.

- 1.0Mar 4, 2015Ops SupervisorCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsFort Worth, TX
Pros
Paid weekly and benefits are median
Cons
Very unorganized from top to bottom. Everyone works such long hours it creates a very cut-throat environment. Supervisor skill sets are very subpar and they are over worked, rarely completing any issues brought to them by drivers or other employees. Driver pay checks are almost always incorrect, with hours and tonnage left off checks. Upper management seems to vanish when there is turmoil due to relentless broke down trucks and discouraged drivers.
