The medical benefits and maternity/paternity leave Interra offers are not competitive, dental coverage is particularly poor. Very high turnover in logistics, 8 people have left in the past year and multiple others asked to be moved internally. That’s 100% dept. turnover in a year and it stems from morale & stress issues tied to poor management. A SHRM study showed that replacing someone on average costs between 6-9 months salary, all these related costs are shown well in table one on "Retaining Talent" by SHRM. In the logistics dept. people constantly jump ship, it’s been really sad, particularly when someone was publicly pseudo fired, further instilling fear among the workforce. There was a meeting on low morale a year ago last August after many months of widespread dissatisfaction (including people crying), in which multiple said they feared management/felt demeaned and little has changed since then. Hopefully Interra Atlanta involvement gets some much needed management changes, as redirecting blame, not being accountable and simply not properly rationalizing things is very old. If one looks at PS International Glassdoor posts from 2015, you’ll see this is not new. In fact the “good bunch with some bad apples” post is very fitting considering a couple bad apples ruined the bunch so to speak, given we’re a different company now after having one dept. dissolved, benefits lessened, several people laid off, promises broken, etc. One interesting thing Interra does is telling people you’re fired or can stay on as a temp, which enables them to strip full time benefits away. Also our Annual Meeting is on a mandatory Saturday, kind of odd.
