[@rashadroberts840]

Isn't there an incentive pay that's unlimited? And it goes to 25 base after 6 months

[@TheThinkerFLA]

@@rashadroberts840 “incentive pay” my cockhole. They make you work 7 days a week otherwise they shitcan you.

Imagine crying to feed your family 😂 I'm glad my parents were Mexican and ain't raise me to be lazy asfff

[@TheThinkerFLA]

@@alexiscostilla4215 Your parents raised you to be fucked in the asshole and lied to. You're a loser.

[@TheThinkerFLA]

@@alexiscostilla4215 Your parents did teach you to be a dumbass and take it up the ass. That's why you're at the bottom of the totem poll with zero education, and having to work a 100 hours a week because a guy in a vest says so. And depending on how old you are, this is your life. Your dreams are all dead because you decided a dumb fuck.

[@leaboy2]

Very well done!!!!!!

[@821Yyc]

The best company I ever worked for they care about employees and treat well love working here in Calgary Alberta

[@stocktonca6586]

What's the dress code over there and can you wear hats or beanies?

[@821Yyc]

As long as you have safety vest 🦺 and steel toe boots you are good 👍

[@stocktonca6586]

That's cool. I have a interview tomorrow at the Stockton California location starting off paying $24.12 an hour

You were paid to say this. This is the worst company ever to work for.

[@steeldragon9701]

Do they only hire young guys or can older guys apply? I'm probably older but able to work and want to make money!!

[@Scorges1]

Both

[@dontayrodgers7491]

What’s the incentive system like the most you can get paid

[@stocktonca6586]

There is no incentive system since they already start you off at $24 an hour well at least the one in Stockton, CA then after getting hired on you get a $4 raise

[@RyanGranger-b7q]

Incentive system, is working 7 days a week while your wife is getting plowed by the neighbor.

[@TheThinkerFLA]

The ''incentive system'' is that they think they can pay you more and work you passed your limit and be dicks to you.

[@sgtrollo2267]

he must work ;-)

[@jeysonarevalo7701]

Does anyone know how much they pay per incentive? 🤔🤔 I just wanna know if is possible make a good money.

They aren't terrible decent shifts, I enjoyed it for what it was. Make friends and treat your lead with respect

[@therealryangranger4887]

How is it going if you’re still there?

[@hakeemsd70m]

Terrible company to work for. The supervisors are always up your ass, they hound you for even making 1 mispick, they expect you to keep the same pack for 7-9 hours a day, you only get two 20 minute breaks and no lunch, and they fired me when I was just two weeks away from the end of my 90 day probation, they claim I had too many mispicks. Fuck Martin Brower. Steer clear from this corrupted sh1thole of a company.

I talk to Brower drivers at least twice a week. Their #1 complaint, aside from their supervisor? The warehouses. The WMS (warehouse management system) employed by Brower is supposed to be so accurate that stores don't need to manually check in items - this couldn't be farther from the truth. My store continues to check in items manually to avoid hundreds of dollars of losses per week. I've seen pallets go missing and wind up three states over for no apparent reason. In fact, the driver has opened the trailer and found pallets wrapped in such a way that it becomes dangerous to move off the trailer or unwrap (vertically stacked narrow cases or heavy items on top or on one side, etc.) They've even loaded pallets into the trailer straps, damaging or destroying product...Sometimes they supply the driver with defective pallet jacks... The list goes on. Our personal favorite? When Brower decides to change delivery dates and times whether the store can accept deliveries then or not. When the job gets done right, this company can be a godsend. When something goes wrong, things can turn into a headache real quick.

[@PutDownTheBunny]

I remember some of our loaders would literally stack individual cases of all sizes right of to the trailer door, due to an "add-on" of 50 or so cases. Pity the driver when he opens those trailer doors as it will fall down like loose firewood!

[@stevedent4701]

Im a driver in vancouver BC You tell the truth my friend..

[@PutDownTheBunny]

I can attest to this. Saw this and thought how can the driver off-load these hundreds of cases?

[@slwh111]

I used to work for this company. It sucked. Worst job I ever had. Thank God I don't work there anymore.

[@BB-cw3uv]

slwh111 what was bad about it

[@dictoo7149]

You must pick maybe 1000 boxes per day. You need to pick boxes around 8-10 hours a day when you are new. And you have engineering standard and sometimes you don't have time to rest yourself. Some boxes are heavy, especially fries boxes (40lbs), milk, Coke, hash-browns, etc. That you need to work in the freezer where the temperature is around -20. Every month, it was an accident or incident in the freezer. If the rack was bad or hit, they had a very simple solution: put a caution tape around. Sometimes took 4 months until they finally dressed the situation. The salary is good (around 30CAD in Vancouver), but the work conditions are not very good. Maybe some warehouses are better than others, but I don't expect to be a big difference. And I don't expect that working like a warehouse-man for 20 years, to be called a career. I expect to have a career when you are growing, develop yourself like a human being. Picking boxes 8-10 hours a day doesn't really look to develop your personality. Maybe your muscle, eventually. What means to be a lead in this company? Means to replace the supervisor from time to time, but the rest of the time you work in warehouse picking boxes or receiving/ loading. That don't have different positions / functions in the company: receiver, loader, picker. Everyone is the warehouse-man and need to make the same job repetitively. Doing this job for 20 years?? FML, nooo!!!

Its a good place to work depending on the region. My experience with MARTIN BROWER in Louisiana was awful. A racist black employee lied just to get me fired. I should have known better. I was the only white guy there. Southern hospitality? More like southern hostility.
