Was diverted here at the last minute with 5 pallets for a new construction site that wasn't ready to receive the product. These guys got me in, unloaded, and out the door in 30 minutes. Wore my mask, no nasty looks or comments like other places. Very professional and handled their business. A+

We did a few jobs for them setting up tents and absolutely loved their hospitality and friendliness. They take their jobs seriously and I appreciate that. Can't wait to come back for their next event!

I went for an interview. I was offered a position. I still have to take a 10 panel drug test. Which is no problem. So far I met some very nice people.

Worked there for about 6 months when I moved back to Buffalo, had 14yrs of forklift experience and was told id start at a certain pay, I did not. Needed a place to work so I stayed. was in building 7 where for months id watch the supervisor walk in at 7am, clock in and leave to go home and take his kid to school and would re appear about 830, and leave at 3pm to pick his kid up and show back up around 430pm, all while clocked in. Another employee would clock in at 7, and leave until about 8 knowing the supervisor wouldn't be there to find out (his brother was also a supervisor in the main building

To the people who used to work here giving negative feed back on how the company doesn't allow breaks..I can attest that isn't true. I've worked on and off here for about two years and you get lunch breaks as well as 15 minute smoke breaks. The people that worked there when I was there were awesome! Everyone was treated with respect and most of the vets there were more than willing to help anyone in need. This was my first job in a factory. They taught me the basics of picking and packing. Taught me how to put inventory in. Taught me how to use both a stand up lift as well as a sit down lift. If
