Genuine Parts Company

We had an excellent company till the merge of Altrom. People meshed together like family . We didn't even have to talk, we just knew each others thoughts and to help the customers anyway possible , even after hours . We the staff ,had after hours dinners and played pool, we helped each other if cars were broke and brought in donuts and other food so work would be enjoyable and everyone was fed and happy . I had hurt my arm and got terminated because  of it (or so it appeared )because shortly after ,that was the case . Myself and my customers were stunned, as they know, I would do anything for them. The company staff have dwindled since then ,5 or more quit quickly after. When our record before the merge was outstanding.  People only left due to pregnancy or health issues. The manger, so I have been told now , just hides in his office and is rarely seen . He isn't a part of daily activities and ignores any happenings with the staff or otherwise. It was ultimately the best place to work and now the worst . I whole heartedly think autocamping sabotage the new company and is forcing out all the reputable staff. The staff are on the front lines and they killed off exceptional workers . Then handed the company over with skeletal  remains. Then again why would they hand something over that would make someone else rich , that would be ludicrous.

Daily car inspection, order picking, prepare deliveries, load vehicle, organize route and schedule for timely deliveries, pickup returns and cheques, organize credits and other paperwork, clean warehouse Dangerous Goods training, WHMIS, safety courses, loose management allowing for harassment, abuse of lunch and break times, inside workers were lazy (e.g. leave a mess for others to clean) , drivers ended up doing their tasks,  no concern for operational expenses, disorganized dispatching, overload of deliveries often leading to late lunches(half hour), unwilling to do minor repairs for vehicles(burnt lights - 3 months to fix, leaking tire - more than 3 weeks, only winter tires on the front), lifting 40Kg kegs of oil, constant lifting of 20 to 30kg break rotors, handling 200kg drums of oil by hand, getting out of the warehouse and drive.

In my last 10 years of working I have sen a lot of stuff but this extent of double standards and favouritism, wow.. Never ever before. The only good thing about being inside sales is you have your own desk and computer. A LOT of backbiting and slandering. Even to the extent of backbiting and slandering of people with whom you sit in inside sales for 8 hours a day and 7 days a week. I seriously wonder how any sane minded, professional individual could spend more than a few minutes their without loosing their mind.

Use to work the night shift before switching to the day shift .
: I was responsable for the assistance of  shift supervisor when it came to his absense I had to make sure the paper work gets done ,orders go out on time , retrieval of any missing parts,  sprapping of oil drums ,training of new employee's and packing at times ..   

DAY SHIFT: Picking orders ,Training workers ,was incharge of health and safety of workers ,shipper/reciever,packer , filling paper and very under paided I would like to add!

My favorite work experience to date. I was 16 when i started and 17 when I finished and the whole time i was in my 3rd year of high school, i balanced out everything from time management too work completion and satisfaction and did better than i expected of myself and continued to get better. I broke my wrist and could no loner perform my duties and i took a leave of absence, sadly the company moved locations during this and i was not able to return to work.

They sold to a US company 2 years ago and it's worse then ever.  Warehouse manager kelly and cheryl treat people so bad and no one does anything about it.  They play so much favourites there. 
 Very racist.  Everyone good has left.  Even the hr manager left and she was the only one who helped us.  They treated her very bad too after so many years.

When I first started the job & company were good, then the owners decided they wanted to step back from the business & hired 2 people to run the business, one the hires was the absolute worse person they could have hired, this person was arrogant, rude & had no people skills.

Steady work environment with adequate work hours.
In the midst of department and physical change.
A very physically demanding job, on your feet and moving for 8 hours+ at a time. 
The people I worked with were fun and friendly.

I would go to work and receive in packages and would mark them with a part number and put away in the proper home.  Management was great to work for, the hours were great, wage could be better, hardest part of the job is the heavy lifting and the most enjoyable part of the job is the people I worked with.

The staff at the location level are good. Management at a multistore level is not attentive to the needs of their workers. The work while not physically demanding requires focus. The pay is bad and not nearly enough for the work that you put in.
