I just quit a FL warehouse in Whitestown IN, today. The pay was $24 an hour and that was the only good thing about it. Management was mostly very young and either lazy or just totally clueless, I didn’t see them enough to be able to tell if they just didn’t know what they were doing or if they just didn’t give a shit. If you’re lazy and don’t take any pride in your work or work ethic I’m sure it’s great because management doesn’t make anyone clean or pick up pallets or help out others etc. if you actually work hard you might get $10 worth of “smile points” (that you get taxed on) but you’ll also just get worked that much harder. Picking up pallets or cleaning might not seem like a big deal but when you’re cleaning up other picker’s messes or picking up pallets someone else should have every single day, all day long it gets frustrating. When it’s slow they send you home or “decrew” you and tell you not to come in, or they might have you do some fucked up job no one else wants to do. I got extra hours by cleaning after work every night because we went in at noon and were usually done picking by 5. Management was about the worst I’ve ever seen. They were constantly harping about “job codes” and EP despite the fact that nobody even explains to new workers what those are. In Whitestown a lot of no picking employees would just be on their phones all day or in the break room. Management would tell them to get to work but never follow up or discipline anyone so they just went back to the break room when the manager left the area. Yesterday I worked 8 hours straight with no break trying to finish all my orders while dock workers stood there and watched me audit and load everything. They never even offered to help. I’ve been told at other FL warehouses pickers audit and load everything themselves but we just started it a few weeks ago. We have dock workers and auditors who did all that so we could pick. From what I was told the Whitestown warehouse is one of the bigger FL warehouses. Anyway auditing and loading everything made a job I could tolerate into one I absolutely hated. Working my ass off picking, auditing and loading while the auditors and dockworkers just watched really pissed me off. I worked 8 straight hours yesterday without a single break to get everything done the manager was complaining at prework today about all the guys just hanging out in the break room, but management never follows up on it so those same guys will be back in the break room again tomorrow. It’s also a physically demanding job. The boxes aren’t heavy but you pick up 1,000-1,500 boxes every day, move carts around, load trucks etc. I got carpal tunnel pretty bad from pulling carts and squeezing the trigger on my scanner. Not a bad job if you’re a kid but not if you’re a hard working adult.
I used to work at Fritolay here in Aberdeen, Maryland. I was in the manufacturing side as a PMOC formally PMT. Basically we were like assistants to operators as far as helping them keep their lines running by clearing faults giving them seconds on their paperwork,cleaning formers getting them film cleaning the hoppers and weighers. It was ok i got tired of it because I wanted something better but now at my new job im having regrets about leaving but it is what it is.
True but details are important trust me you can get paid $30 hour and working only 15 hours or it's stressful boss is asshole or bad treatment money aint the only thing that determines if a job is good
The ad tells you how much depending on the time of year and location. And like the person above me said they might pay you 40$ but only work part time.
Thanks for the info, I have a separate question though, I applied for a part time position standard warehouse but I really want a full time position. Do you know if Fritos generally allow part timers to transition to full time? And would it be okay if I ask my interviewer this question; or would this make them uncomfortable?
I work full-time in a GES warehouse in NC and I've got my 3 days off in a row. Maybe it's different with every warehouse. Some people have their off days broken up though. Btw GES = Geographic enterprise system.
@@jamesandersonreviews J.A. im in central G.A. also i applied at the warehouse in Kathleen, Ga for the same position i can't remember if it was for part-time or full-time but hey my question is do they do the C.S.I. drug test a.k.a. the mouth swab or the olde skool Urine-test?
@@jamesandersonreviews But I stay a hour away from the warehouse give me your opinion do you think its worth the drive I already have a decent job with decent pay but it's not $22.00 an hour and it's only 25-30 minutes away from my crib? My car is good on gas though what advice would you give me & the job I already have it's super duper easy and my schedule is 7am -4pm I always leave at 4pm I never have too stay over never & I literally do what I want literally no cap but again it ain't $22.00 an hour and I have 2 days off a week consecutive days, I work 5 days a week.
We never got two days in a row off. Only the people who had been there a long time had consecutive days off. I worked second shift (noon start) which basically took my whole day. I had a 40 minute drive to work and I’d work usually 8-9 hours, sometimes more. Not having two consecutive days off just blows. I’m 47 so after picking and cleaning all day I was tired. I’d get home about 9-11 PM on Mon night, get up around noon on Tue, my day off, and have to do laundry, shopping, run any a errands I had to do etc. my body never got time to recover. I’m in good shape but just all the lifting, walking, pulling, etc causes a lot of aches. Month after month of that just beat me down physically.
I had the same problem with fluctuating hours. First shift always seemed to get most of the orders at our warehouse. Second shift got what was left over. Some days it was only 4 hours of work. Then I had to do some other fucked up job or clean to get my 8 hours in. Then when it got busy they’d work you to death, which makes for nice checks but that warehouse is a miserable place. Where I worked people were always quitting or not showing up too so you might end up getting more orders added on.
Lot of my families work there and for many years and they bought a house from it im like man im kinda jealous cause i applied many times and just couldn't get hired it frustrating as fuck
@@MrPeanutToes I didn’t get the job although I did good in the interview and I have warehouse experience. They just asked bunch of “tell me about a time” questions
@@AndreaRodriguez-xr5re they are behavioral questions. So they will ask you like “tell me about a time you worked well with a team to complete a goal” or “tell me about a time you came across a difficult task at work and what you did to overcome it and the outcome of it. You can go on google and search up basic behavioral questions
I was placed on the waiting list and they said I’ll get first dibs but two weeks later I see a position on indeed for the same area I was going to ??! Smh
That’s messed up smh . . sometimes you gotta jus walk in there babygirl let ‘em see ya and that beauty .. u can’t be denied ! Lol no simp sheit jus real sheit 💜 gotta jus walk into these jobs after you apply , showing face always best bet💯
Stick with it if you get it. I started out as a material handler/packer and within 6 months I was promoted and now I'm making around $600 more a month from when I started. Just work hard, it's pretty simple.
their shifts/ schedules are weird as hell especially since they make u start part time.. it doesn't allow u to have a 2nd job fr cuz of the weird broken up days and hours and who tf wants to work on Sundays smh
what’s up brother i’m posted up in middle GA as well. you must be from WR or at least south of macon? anyways good video and i’m about to start up there i’m excited and finna stick it out for as long as i can. you’re right saying 20 is minimum for bills, savings, and recreational pay but only then on a tight budget. best of luck to you my GA brother. keep it up with the youtube.
It want the worst job I ever had but it was probably some of the worst management I’ve ever worked under. The managers were just dumb college kids. They never disciplined anyone and I think it was because they were just intimidated. We also had two female managers who were just catty and always have smart ass responses to questions or acted like you should already know what you were asking about. I worked at the Whitestown IN warehouse and they have crazy high turnover there and they can’t figure out why lol. If they listened to the employees they’d know why. I just got fed up with the schedule and working with the miserable, lazy dock workers. They would stand there and watch the pickers work and the manager never said anything. I’m 47 so it wasn’t my first job, but the lazy young dock worker was always telling me how “I just got there” and how he didn’t have to do shit to help the pickers. Just a miserable person to have to work with. I’d ask him which dock my truck was in and he’d act like I was asking him for a favor. Day in and day out.
@@lonestar8968I gotta interview there it can’t be all bad I’m employed at Coca Cola we worked 12 hours 7 days a week no day off unless is Christmas or new years or unless u use ur paid & sick time that shxt sucked the pay was good tho 25.10 but I hope frito lay be better
Did you guys have to audit and load everything you picked? We just picked our stuff until recently, the dockworker and auditors audited it. That’s actually why I quit. I just got tired of having to pick, stage, audit, wrap me load every order while the dockworkers just watched me or watched TV in the break room. I don’t think management really thought it through because having the pickers do everything made the dockworkers basically redundant, except for moving the trucks in and out. So the dockworkers would just play on their phones while the pickers did everything.
Holy shit so you picked ? Staged and audited ? Gah damn lol either it’s a smaller warehouse or you guys have a shitty system . The loaders load at my DC and move the trucks . Pickers pick and auditors audit lol
@@LifeWithStiel I heard it’s easy for the most part. Some say it’s mostly just changing out the packaging and monitoring the machine, troubleshooting, etc.
@@jamesandersonreviews prior experience necessary? In the job post it did not say so. I have worked several different jobs but not factory/warehouse. Have been with my company now for almost 7 years so hope that helps.
How many hours per week full time honestly like when it was slow and I got 5th shit 4am-12pm I got an interview video? How long till they hire you after the video
I actually interviewed once or twice and wasn’t hired. This last time, I was only hired because covid forced them to do quick hiring to replace the sick.
I was hired during the height of the pandemic. I think I had 2 phone interviews. The first one was with HR telling me my app had been selected to be passed on to management. The actual interview was a few basic questions (same as most jobs)….scenario questions, etc. It only lasted about 10 - 15 mins.
@@jamesandersonreviews oh okay I applied for GES picker and loader I think so idk what their going to ask me I was asking you so I can be prepared for whatever they ask of me
That's sounds like it was ur fault how u going to say yes and waste their time and then say no u should have thought about it longer and everything thing else sounds like cherry picking if ur able to make 80-100k yearly to better your family take it

How many hours does the PT workers be scheduled? do you make your own schedule? What if you have a ft already ?
I was only averaging a little over 20 when I left. But it probably also depends on your location.
No, you don’t make your own schedule. They pick your days, which were sun, mon, and fri day for me.
