Antiwork

I was HR for a very large company in Northern Virginia

-Wanted to share my experience and please delete this if it’s not Antiwork. I will also post this on Glassdoor too. the pay for NOVA( Northern VA) is a real joke, you’re fighting to make it from paycheck to paycheck. -Making $40k a year doing 50 hours of work a week. That’s $15 an hour in city where everything is expensive. The Fast-food down the street was starting off at $17…. working in HR for a company this big is a joke. The paperwork and the documents that came through my hands were not equal for my $40k pay. we had many staff members come in with certain problems about the staff team(managers). Those problems not only didn’t get fixed but their bosses were told exactly the problem. Those managers then went and spread the classified to other members of the company just to get that person to quit. I’ve…

  • the pay for NOVA( Northern VA) is a real joke, you’re fighting to make it from paycheck to paycheck.

  • working in HR for a company this big is a joke. The paperwork and the documents that came through my hands were not equal for my $40k pay.

  • we had many staff members come in with certain problems about the staff team(managers). Those problems not only didn’t get fixed but their bosses were told exactly the problem. Those managers then went and spread the classified to other members of the company just to get that person to quit.
    I’ve never seen a company ran like this. I’ve worked in HR for over fifteen years and I’m dumbfounded this company has not been sued yet to the level of bankruptcy.

-I got to see everyone company wide, was great to see and meet people face to face! Then I compared their salaries or hourly rate and it was upsetting.

-Merchandisers we’re making $10-$14 while Sales were making about $50k-$54k on average. Team leaders were making over $65k with little to no work at all. They literally have a Team Leader position for zero reason. These are the managers who cause most of the problems. This position can not go away because Anheuser Busch mandates it.

  • If you decide to come here as a merchandiser, please note you won’t make much. You’ll also be fighting heavy lifting all day long with zero help. You can’t take a lunch at any given time or it’ll only make your day much longer. The faster merchandisers got more work the following year too.

-Sales, your commission, base pay, PFP, and so much more. Your pay is literally changing week from week. Sell more, levels get cut. Sell less, you’ll hear about it.

-VP(can’t mention his name because you can’t refer negative about them on Glassdoor) doesn’t care about anyone here. He wants you to make the lowest amount so profits continue to flow sky high.

-his boss the COO is a numbers guy, you might get your raise if you complain but remember that money will come out of someone else.
The CEO(Owner), he needs to wake up before he has no more staff.

-drivers who were safe for a year got an extra $1k bonus just for being safe. Sounds nice right? We actually had to adjust their raise to include that. Basically, it looks like you got it but you really didn’t. Being safe doesn’t mean anything to them. If you truly got what they said, your following year you’d probably get close to nothing if anything at all.

-We had a salesman in a southern market that brought company sales to next level. His commission cut for that year on top of what he made from the previous year was an extra $3k. He made the company any extra $600k. Do the math on that percentage when the company profits from 25%-56% per case sold…

-Do not work for a company that owners don’t care about you. They say they do but when they send out surveys and their staff actually do complain. All they do is build a massive excel of this and send it out to the Sales Directors and Team Leaders. This should be classified information and not shared with anyone. Should be fixing the problem rather than figuring out who says what, then try to get them to quit.

-I made $40k and had access to everything. Why would you ever pay someone next to nothing and think they’ll actually care about your business?

-After leaving, my current job is amazing. They’re functioning at a level that’ll thrive. I also make $117k, doing less than what I was doing at Virginia Eagle Distribution.

-lastly, I’m posting this on Glassdoor to share my experience. I never did the yearly surveys because it was a joke. Let me share my experience with the world so they know this place is a joke. Stop over working your workers and give them an actual decent pay without expecting more work from them.

Also; English isn’t my first language. Sorry for any typos.
