Busy times are generally spring and fall and can be challenging. Most of the people are enjoyable to work with. Drama does happen but is minimal and not tolerated. Management are accessible and easy to talk to.

I worked at Modern Sales for almost three years. Overall, the company had a good work environment, and I enjoyed working there. The manager was great, professional, respectful, and supportive. The supervisor was okay for the most part, although professionalism could have been better at times.

Unfortunately, things went downhill after the new Receiving Team Leader took over. The leadership was poor, created unnecessary stress. A good team can quickly become a bad experience when it’s led by the wrong person, and that was the biggest issue during my time there.

Other than that, I had a positive experience initially and met many great people. I hope the company pays more attention to who they put in leadership positions because one bad team leader can ruin an otherwise great workplace.

Typical warehouse work, stocking, picking, shipping, etc. Main issue being that the wages are low for warehouse work, especially considering the majority of product in the place is automotive parts that are rather large and heavy. No pay increase for learning new departments or getting machinery licensing. Management is constantly changing rules and guidelines for different departments, and the changes get lost along the lines of communication from supervisors to the floor, causing lots of confusion. 

Feel very under valued and definitely not respected at work. Morale is always low and full time employees that have been there for a few years are now leaving due to the direction of the company. Lots and lots of temps come and go and seem to be replacing direct hire jobs. 

The only benefit with this place is you get 6 paid sick days a year and you have every weekend off.

Modern was a great company to work for in the beginning. You are not paid Highly for the job that you were doing. They try to justify your benefit plan and the fact that you do not have to pay into it as a reason of having a lower wage. I would much rather pay into my benefits and make more money than what they offered. I worked for the company for a very long time and then after becoming ill they decided to let me go and came up with a ridiculous reason. I do not recommend this company to anyone as they just discarded me as a piece of waste instead of backing me up after becoming ill. They also disclose much of my personal information to fellow employees after I left the company.

Modern Sales and the team that work there are pretty great. When I was hired they had a good training program, the leads worked with me to show me everything, and my coworkers gave me a hand getting up to speed. 

They do a lot for their employees like BBQ's and benefits and stuff. They have different shifts and are able to work with you if you need to move some things around. They are pretty flexible. They aren't union either which is great - if you actually do a good job you get rewarded, not just because you have been there for so many years.

Over all just a really great place to work.

Overall I myself personally had a great experience working for this company the management team alway treated me with the upmost respect. However I do believe they need to take a real hard look at there permanent long term employees who are constantly bashing the company’s name and that has absolutely ruined the working environment making it very hard for new employees to adjust. There are also a lot of two faced asso’s in other words they are very jealous when someone new gets offered advancements they don’t qualify for. The salary isn’t great considering 95% of the work is very heavy lifting and non stop walking.Lots of overtime if you like to work 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Regular Monday to Friday with holidays off and good starting time 8 am to 4:30 pm so you can actually sleep in your bed 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working is after 12 PM sometimes you finish your assign task and you have to go find other tasks to complete you day 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Working environment is very good just get to know your co workers and if you have difficulty they will help 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Easy job without any pressure just find something to do to let the days go by

Friendly management and staff that made me feel welcome and at ease right from the start. Excellent training in all aspects of learning the job as well as orienting me with company procedures and processes. Great salary. 

First job I ever worked at that wasn't overrun with gossip. Management showed employee appreciation with BBQ's in the summer and monthly birthday cakes for all who wish to participate, along with costume and pumpkin carving at Halloween.

Low pay, no training, terrible management. There's no job security or advancement at this place. I watched multiple employees excel at their jobs, or break records regarding work scores be denied annual wage increases, I've seen people be fired immediately after parental leave. I've watched people with a work place injury do everything they can to recover to be terminated when they're deemed fit to work.

Reason
1. Terrible management 
2. Continuous cycle of staff (people come and go on a regular basis)
3. Salary is not enough for a person to survive on their own. Increases are VERY SMALL. 
4. No way to move up or do better in the company 
5. Pushed to pick orders for 8 hours 
6. NO TALKING!!!
7. Team leads are miserable all the time - making it uncomfortable and difficult to work for them.
