Driveline Merchandising Services
Reviews and Complaints

The only positive point of working here is flexible hours! The management is atrocious and ignore any questions you may have. You only train for one time maybe 2 hours if your lucky, poor Pay you will not get compensated for the 40-60 miles you drive sometimes one way. I didn't get paid for the alloted hours I worked and you will not get paid overtime. You work at dollar general with planograms your lucky if you or the dollar general manager can even find them. Don't waste your time seriously it's bad.

Your driveline employee that was working on Friday July 28th at 1:45 pm in ElDorado Arkansas at the Dollar General store with the first name of Crystal and has blonde hair got seriously ugly with me. I had made a comment to the cashier that I know personally that how they had a mess in the floor with her stating yes they are redoing our shelves and products. And I looked at my cashier friend and commented it sure is a dam mess. This crystal that works for y’all bluntly came out getting as close to me as she could stating yes it is sure a god dam mess and this made me angry I do t not appreciate anyone using gods name with cuss words and I told her do not speak to me in that manner and she begin screaming what the [censored] j you gonna do about it [censored]. I am a 65 year old woman. I don’t tolerate any one speaking to me in this way. I turned to pay my cashier friend for my two items and she pooped off and said [censored] his [censored]. It was unprovoked. I have the witnesses of these store employees. The name working either her theirs to make her leave. They knew she was in the wrong too. She doesn’t not need to work inside stores and ba e no respect for that stores customers. I will not go to my favorite store now of dollar general if I know she is in there. I can do with out her ugly mouth.

To all you haters.. I'm here to tell you this is a great company to work for.

it's not for everyone, u have to be self-motivated or you will probably fail.

Driveline is not a scam. I've been with them over four years. Started as a rep then promoted to district manager. I love my job! lls

I was told by lgc who I work threw that driveline wanted me back full schedule about 4 days ago I started last night worked my butt off and get home to a message all the sudden saying that driveline has a complaint and that I'm Dnr Miranda Fuentes is the driveline manager on duty they said nothing to me all night about a complaint I talked to them multiple times threw the night my ex girlfriend work's for driveline threw wonolo and has stated to me she was gonna get me fired and it happens to be Miranda's teacher's pet I see wrongfull termination is what I see I'm still waiting on pay I was supposed to get Friday from push agency cause evidently Miranda never signed me in when I got there she yells loudly across the store to employees when it's break time she keeps making you work so the breaks are never when there supposed to be and to fire someone for what one of your teachers pets come and say about someone else that's slander and it's Stacy Sawyer that's doing it my job is my liveley hood not a game Miranda Fuentes needs addressed a lawyer may be getting called about this situation thanks

I've been involved with this company in some capacity for quite awhile. The pay is low ($10/hr start with some employees not getting raises in over 10 years of working there). Mileage is "as the crow flies" with the first and last 20-40 miles on you, but only $0.20/mile. Anyone who works this type of job had better hope they have another means of income as you will absolutely destroy a vehicle in an attempt to make any money, all while actually costing you to work there.
The company structure is a joke to say the least. One woman in particular is going to bring the company to their knees single-handedly. She's an absolute horrible woman who will dote on her "special ones", even when others' performance is much better. She expects a 40 hr week in an 8 hr workday, and if you don't bend/break to her every word, you WILL have hell to pay. Countless DM's have quit or are on the verge of quitting simply because of her. She has turned the company upside down and shaken it so badly that no one really knows what is going on currently. HR, District/Regional managers are so mad and confused at what's going on, I'm amazed that there is any progress made at all daily.
Numerous merchandisers hate their DM's due to the fact that 1 in 10 will treat you like a person, but if the DM were to get caught showing any sort of compassion, they will be reprimanded quickly.
What could be a thriving business is being driven into the ground by a woman who seems to rule by an iron fist with her own personal vendetta against anyone who she feels isn't pulling their weight…which is absolutely unachievable by any standards.

I quit last Monday, but have not received my last employee paycheck. Please get back to me. I left voicemail today... but as yet no call back.
Appreciate it,

Ranging from July 1st - July 13th - Unprofessionally fired without warning, notice, or a explanation after being subjected to subtle racism and very clear discrimination.

I would like to file a professional complaint regarding the Pulaski location in Chicago, for Target's Distribution Center. The staff of the Driveline department is extremely unprofessional and has poor structural skills. There is no proper training for people coming in from temporary agencies which results in management (Particularly, Meghan) reacting very poorly. To provide context, I have been professionally trained to work in warehouses and had never heard of being told to clock in first and then retrieve my vest, but because it was what I was told to do by the Driveline's staff-- the people handing out vests and uniforms, I did that for about a week before I was flagged down by Meghan yelling "Get that girl in the black sweater. She does this everyday" to which I was rewarded with a very casual and disrespectful remark about how I was committing time theft. I explained that I was instructed by Driveline's employees, (not temporary hires) to do this and she then for the first time, gave me insight on how the order of operations were maintained.

Pod leaders typically at this location take a "You know what you're doing approach", and typically pair new hires up with people who have been there less than a week. This means that skills such as box assembly or learning the proper measurements are self-learned and then applied to a very fast paced environment. More often than not, pod leaders become frustrated with their teams' efficiency on this location and instead of providing a visual or verbal explanation of how to properly assemble, they result to threatening to send you home because you're not working at their preferred pace. Furthermore, supervision varies from pod to pod and you aren't allowed to choose a pod leader who understands and can commend your work ethic. You are forced upon a first come first serve basis and are often paired up with pod leaders who have never seen you work. I was accused multiple times of not working at all, having cleared out and assembled over 300 box shelves ranging from sizes 2-4 on my own. Tom, who has taken the reigns on managing order of operations threatened to send home myself and another worker on my second day because he'd stepped away to supervise other pods, came back, and didn't realize we had finished the row we were working on and had moved on to start the task in a separate row.

Furthermore, reflecting on pod leaders and their professionalism, Pam made a very particularly backhanded comment about how black women dress and carry themselves to me because I had changed my hair and she made a point to say that she couldn't recognize me.

I truly believe this mannerisms in addition to small racial micro aggressions from pod leaders led to me being backlisted from not only that particular job site, but the entire Driveline company as well. Once I noticed my shifts were being cancelled, I seemed to recall watching someone else get turned around from coming to work one day but not being granted an explanation on why he was no longer allowed to check in. I fear that me asking exactly what I did to get pulled and perhaps trying to come to an agreement about proper supervision and training would've resulted in me being escorted off the premises and I don't feel that's the way a professional team should maintain.

I would love to be unbacklisted and permitted to work at another Driveline location. For now, I will be making other temporary agencies aware of the gross and unjust work practices of that particular location. I would however like to add in that pod leaders such as April and Stephanie are incredible pod leaders. Not only do they maintain a organized, neat, and fast paced assembly line, they jump in to provide guidance and education when they see that someone is new and struggling. I would very much highly recommend those two pod leaders be the ones promoted to management on any future jobs, as they were two very efficient and organized leaders who were also being treated poorly by the men on staff.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to your response.
Sincerely, Jasemine Miller.

I went to work on my first day didn't no anything about retailing the lady that train me left me after I caught on and was suppose to go and start on the isle I went to go help her she told me I can leave if I needed to so I left after I left I assume she call the manager to tell her that I left and didn't tell her she said I can leave and she will send me the picture but I didn't get anything from her of course I didn't no what the picture was for this was my first time doing retailing and I felt like the lady played me and had me doing the biggest of the work now I do not no will I get paid or not

I googled these people before signing on with them. Class Action Lawsuit August 2014. I had already started the paperwork process before googling. Come to find when it came to signing documentation, payroll sheet says pay rate $10/hr when over the phone I was told $13 even though in the text back and forth the person representing this company says it was $12.50. I have docs and texts so I'm not making this up. I ask for documentation stating the pay rate show $12.50 before signing on and I was told to have a nice day. I can see why there is negative feedback on line.

3yrs. yeah i know how did i stay so long? only reason was established a great rapport with the store mgrs and staff. company is in it for themselves. at least the district mgr is . didnt have this before she started. very unprofessional. no support no contact but ya better damn well respond to her when she emails or calls. ridiculous...one week can get 39 hours, not allowed more than that then the next week ya get ten hours, , , very inconsistant. company has a bad reputation where i live. company brings it on themselves no ethic here at all...and believe me driveline is not reading these reviews just like the dist, mgr doesnt read emails...interprets and reads what she wants. i have been locked out of my portal they want a note...i dont have a note... so next step is labor board...but may not waste my time. i agree with every negative comment listed on here and yeas the expense you put in to working for them can put you into the poverty level

I started working for this company a month ago. They suppoused to pay every 2 weeks, but they don't. They pay once every 2 months! They suppoused to pay $9.00 a hour but they don't. They pay $1.00 or less a hour! You are suppoused to stock stuff in a certain amount of time and if the time runs out, you have to leave it as is. I had to work at General dollar store from 1 pm until 8 pm and they won't pay me for it. I work for 4 8-hour weeks for 1 paycheck of $100.00! When I came home, and looked at my time sheet, they gave me lots of work to do but gave my paid hours to someone else that didn't do the work that I did! When I complained, They sent me a termination notice and erased my payroll so they made sure that I don't get paid one red cent. I also got harrased and insulted and yelled at by the Manager in Dollar General because she wanted a white person working there instead of a black person. I have never been called so many horrible things and cussing words in my life. I just kept my mouth shut and did the work that I was suppoused to do while she screamed obscenaties at me and yelled at me about how worthless I was and how I will never be anything in life. When I finished I left and she called Driveline and the ordered them to fire me and lied about how I cussed her out and attacked her and I went in her office stole her trash can and threw it across the store which was a lie because her office was locked. There were no customers in the store they will never be any customers because she keeps running them out.
Do not work for Driveline Retail! They make you work like a dog and pay you very low wages. It is not worth it! I did not go to college and get a Degree in business Administration, Computer Programming and Computer Information Systems for this! ProPrositutes makes way more money that this on the streets!

Run from this company - I worked for them several years and they were fair. Then they came out with a new mileage - drive time policy that pays you nothing. I drove 80 miles round trip in the mountains and spent 2 hours driving and I was compensated $1.80 . So it cost me money to work for them. I am glad I discovered this early. They will tell you they pay you 24 cents and time but you can be the judge. I was really taken for a fool. So be wise fellow merchandising people - run run run from them. And watch your checks.

I worked for driveline for awhile, and at first it seemed legit, and i was receiving very a small amount of compensation for my merchandising services. I continued on my schedule and continued servicing my stores, and then one day I got online after putting in long hours after working my first job.(was working about 16 hours total that day) and when I logged onto their site to report, it would not let me. I called the district manager, Carolyn Patterson, who informed me that all of my jobs had been re-assigned. I never recieved a call or email notifying me of this. Also, I was told that EVEN THOUGH I WAS THE ONE WHO DID THE JOBS, and had the managers at the stores that I serviced to confirm, she told me I would not be compensated for my work, AT ALL. I am a very hard worker, always have been, and it was a slap in the face. She is the new regional for my area, the woman before her was competent and I really enjoyed working for the company while she was my DM. Beware of committing time to this company, or relying on it as a supplemented income...because to put it short and sweet.."they really screwed me!"
