delivery driver

Grocery Gateway

The managers running delivery operations are severely unfair to drivers. They find the employees that are reliable and work hard, then overload them with deliveries each day and ridiculous routes. The only possible way to make each delivery on time is to completely change the route and deliver certain orders before their delivery window, which some customers do not allow. They reward unreliable drivers with smaller easier routes and often send help (other drivers/floaters) to relieve them of heavier, bigger orders. After acquiring a new routing company delivery times dropped from 11-15 minutes down to as little as 7 minutes. That's not much time to handle several hundred dollar orders. Especially when some orders contain 10+ cases of water, pop and other heavy things which you are then required to carry and place wherever the customer requires, including basements. Overall; management is a joke with very little training it seems. The hours are 5am-2pm but in my 3 years of employment routes usually ended around 3-4pm. "The customer is always right" not to means the driver gets constant backlash and unfair treatment.

I worked for this company before the current receiver took it over about seven or so years ago.

The receiver was cold, argumentative, and combative with all drivers at that time. As I was undergoing a very intricate medical procedure at that time, I was not even offered a continuance, or even a chance at a job with the receiver.

I still view their behaviour at that time to be discriminatory, and they should thank their God that I am not pursuing legal remedy. It is due to their actions that my quality of life has been altered permanently, for the worse.

I would discourage ANYONE and EVERYONE from working for that place unless you fit their confines of what is "normal". Perhaps "Typically Aryan" would be more to their liking.

God forbid you should EVER be undergoing any sort of medical procedure that they, in their extremely limited intellect, cannot possibly understand.

The job is okay just the management isn't very professional there is a lot of favoritism and pointing fingers that goes on. The job duties and responsibilities are easy and straight forward, I believe I could use more of a challenge. The job is good just could use better management and I feel more fair wage distribution would be a plus. For the most part the co workers are good there are a couple weeds in the bunch, but most have lost motivation because of the faulty management, I do what I can to keep the team motivated. I learned some good team member managing skills trying to keep the good team motivated. The most enjoyable part of the day is when everything gets done well and all the closing procedures are done and the warehouse looks good.

Grocery Gateway provides perfect service. As a customer, I have always been impressed. When I became an employee there, I was even more pleased to find that their warehouse is the perfect work environment. The management are all really great guys and i became fast friends with the entire staff. I would say the whole job is quite enjoyable. Everything from clocking in to the highly efficient methods used for procuring the groceries for delivery and loading them for delivery. I can't say there is any hard part to the job other than waking up so early.

I was working while studying at this institution. Therefore it made this so much easier to grasp. Co-working were very helpful in every way possible. Not sure if I can recall what was hard about it except when I graduated and had to move on. Most enjoyable is being able to work as I learn and give back to my community.

Grocery Gateway taught me the value of deadlines and how important it is to get along with the people you work with. Some of the higher ups may be difficult to work with, so just remember that's not personal and to check your ego at the door. You're here to learn and work.

People are fun but team lead and management is all about them and take all the credit, sit in the office all day , no on floor work, super lenient, no discipline  

typical day at work is sometimes long sometimes short .
ive learned to be a fast learner and to get the hang of things 
management is alright
their the reason I left 
dealing with co-workers
getting a paycheck

Grocery gateway is an online grocery shopping store. I learned a lot working there and gained lots of experience dealing with angry customers. The hardest part working there was the night shift
