I like the fact that you give people chances to work in a Fortune 500 Company. I really enjoyed working for you all. I know you have no clue who I am I was employed thru the staffing agency Staff mark. I believe it takes “Months to get Customers, an Seconds to Lose Them”. So many disappointing things are going on in your Facility in Sumner . I say this because we had $$thousands of dollars of Dyson hair dryer s stolen. I robots missing. An no one goes to jail???? I worked at this facility for a year an 9 mths. I have worked in every account. Damaging of products, an Customers having to Audit there product that they trust us with, to be disappointed in the fact that we have to keep short shipping orders. They hiring people an they aren’t getting properly trained which causes rack damage, product damages, mis ships. That training is on all shifts. . We have a Manager Mr. Steve Rockwell, that really doesn’t care about the Position he hold he needs to be reminded Great Supervisors , Lead there Employees, Not Boss an Bost about being the Boss. Taking time to look past personal feelings an being in the trenches with his team he could be so much more successful all around. Whether any of this matters to you all or not, I did this for myself . I know if I had a mess somewhere , I would want someone to let me know. Like a 911 call everyone sees the accidentt an assumes everybody else called 911. End result, No Help Ever Comes. Thank you for your time. Respectfully, Regina Taylor.
Regina Taylor falsely accused of time clock fraud. Still Terminated. Please send Undercover Boss. The facility could be Fortune 500 Again.
