AmeriCold Logistics Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Do not work at Americold in Sanford NC. Very dishonest and sneaky. You can’t trust anyone. You are not treated as an individual. Don’t think of going to Hr. They will double-cross you and get you fired. If you are looking for a good place to work Do not work at this location. Avoid at all costs. Trust me!!!!"

"It was great to be a part of a company that helped put food on people's table"

"worked there for littler less than a year and the hours were to long , you never knew what time you would be off work"

"Great company that is growing with fantastic leadership"

"It's a good company to work for in particular great overall work as a well good management team"

"I can honestly say in all my years of distribution, this was the WORST working environment that I’ve ever been in. Being surrounded by individuals who have no work ethic and using the union to keep them from being held accountable. My co-workers want to receive a check and do the bare minimum (if that) to get it. Theft of product, sleeping on the clock, damaging of product/structures and obvious under the influence were either not addressed by management or given a reprieve from the union. Management was no better. The only interaction was when corporate visited and the fake smiles/phony conversations took place. Regional management had a John Wayne bravado and tried to use intimidation tactics when dealing with the supervisors, quite often making in appropriate comments. Corporate HR was hesitant on supporting local management and caved in to the union demands. In defense of the supervisors, they had a lot on their plate and wasted too much time babysitting a thieving labor force. Avoid this company at all cost unless your plan is short term (1-2 yr term)."

"Growing company with a lot of opportunity; great leadership at the top of the company leading the way. No complaints from this employee other than not being given enough resources to complete assigned tasks."

"Have to work in a cold freezer for long hours. Management and Labor group doesn't go together so have to work on negotiation. Also, there might be some politics that you might have to deal with."

"The corporate leadership is toxic. They allow senior leaders at the sites to sexually harass female employees and allow lower employees to steal and bribe. I watched for months until I re-signed. Please stay away, especially if you are a female."

"Only cares about work. They literally treat you like a dog. The general manager is a pathological liar and is swift and ruthless with his rule. I feel sorry for his kids, they probably all have low self esteem because most employees here do."

"This is for the Brisbane site Australia. Was a good company to work for until it got brought out by Americold. Higher management put too much pressure on kpi's, resulting in unsafe work practices. Middle management has no clue what's going on when it comes to health and safety, they work by the motto just get the job done. No career progression unless you're family or an ass licker, very biased. Any outspoken people will be bullied until breaking point. Extremely high pick rates and under paid, day shift works a six day roster six hours per day so if you have a family you're not gonna have any time for them. Casuals take a sick day, don't bother coming back, extremely high turnover of workers 200-500 per year. Union is nothing but lies and bull from union and management (HR), only up side is good bunch of guys to work with on the floor, everything else just a joke"

"This is for the Brisbane site in Australia. Pay rate is ok but that's about it. Management has no idea what they're doing. I work night shift. Managers have no skills and were given the position just cause they turn up everyday. There's no job progression and if you are an outspoken person, manager will bully you until you leave. If you have family it's not the job for you. They will work you 6 days a week every week until you break."

"Good pay, however no work-life balance. As a salaried person, you're expected to work extended hours and weekends with no compensatory time off. Leadership is cut-throat - only looking out for themselves and lots of cliques. Some individuals have position titles 'in name only' but don't have training or proper credentials for those positions. The company does nothing in the arena of self-development, therefore you stand the chance of your skills becoming stagnant. Not a global leader."

What do you like about working at AmeriCold Logistics?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Tips for interviewing with this company would be to know how to do math, have some knowledge of how a warehouse runs, and be willing to work in a face paced environment."

What don't you like about working at AmeriCold Logistics?

"The difficulties it takes to get promoted, the fact that there is a cap on your salary after your first year unless you get promoted, and the limited options on scheduling."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"My suggestion for management would be to give raises based on time with the company, offer safety bonuses, and get rid of the incentive program and rather offer raises based on productivity rather than pay everyone the same rate when there's those who have been there for 5 years and get paid the same as someone who has been there 1 year. This would help retention and get rid of the current turn-over rate."
