Purolator Employer Reviews

I really don't want to say much .. but a typical day at work would be full of work ( didn't mind ) Managers who want yo to help them but don't help you. I learned that you should always have a back up plan in case anything goes wrong and you don't have anyone that is going to help you. Management is terrible.. that's enough said. Co-Workers are all – more... great people , no co-worker would ask you to do something that you don't need to do. the hardest part of the job is that i was trying to get a transfer to a different building but no one would help me not even HR. the best part of the day was going home . Honestly . – less

When i started at purolator frieght i was told one thing what was going to take place,and to my disappiontment this has not happened.The 10 to 12 drivers that were hirered when i was have all been laid off.though at the job enterview we had no idea this was coming 16 mouths later i am next to be laid off !!

It is like any other top notch company.********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

A Typical Day at work, would be that my unload team and I would unload about 9-10 trailers before the nights over.
I learned how to manage and transport dangerous goods.
We had 2 night mangers but one was horrible, he would always follow my unload team around and try and say we are slacking, which was a lie.
There was nothing hard about the job at all.
The – more... most Enjoyable part of the job was unloading the trailers, because you hade your own space to work peacefully. – less

it was overnights, I learned more about the city, management was energetic and for the most part it was a good environment

Early hours, with great pay and 4 raises in the first year of working

My typical day consists of me assisting customers to pick up packages as well as ship packages out. I deal with customer inquires and complaints on a daily basis.

Management could use some work. Generally an enjoyable working environment.

the work place is good and its okay, driving for the whole day

Great place to work. Answering phones in dispatch and selling the promotional product that was available. Enjoyed everyone I worked with. They were extremly knowledgable and helpful. I enjoyed the competition in the selling games.

Very fast pace environment in a rapidly expanding city. Kept you always on your toes but made the day go faster. Sometimes difficult to keep up with the volume of freight and help was most of the time hard to come by. The most enjoyable was the family atmosphere between the co-workers. At the end of the day they were all family.

Always busy with loading and unloading freight. Organize the truck for the day by stops. Co workers were a good bunch, always joking, helping out. Management was paperworkers, no work experience. Hardest part of the job would have been to deliver all the parcels, and collect all the pickups, for the day. Some days were just too busy to do so, but did – more... my very best to do it all. Most enjoyable part was driving, setting my own routes, and corresponding with the customers. – less

scan boxed load into trucks for the drivers. and sometimes off load boxes off the trucks to allow sorting for the drivers

i worked with many people , many men took a while for them to accept a woman buit when they did things went smoothly. hrs were good . worked independantly

very friendly co-workers and fast paced envoirnment, a lot to learn

The automated system is pretty reliable. With everyday maintenance, we avoid major flaws.

out on the road early deadlines, customer service great job really enjoyed dealing with the public

There is a hard work life balance for a family. You need to be extremely flexible, hard working and willing to put the job first. There is lots to learn as well opportunities to advance if you wish to relocate. The pay scale for non management is great.

no room for growth ...expect to be cursed at and treated poorly

Fairly good in the beginning but after a few years it went downhill with management. I've had wonderful managers there as well but they tended to hire people from the outside and placed them directly in managerial positions. The last manager had terrible people skills and very bad communication. Purolator International (US locations) tended to struggle – more... with overall communication from day 1 but when you add more managers & supervisors that lack in the art of communicating with the employees it makes for a terrible enviroment. They say that they're for the employee and have their back yet when it comes right down to it its no true. Management & sales would meet and plan new customer launches without inviting the customer service person that would ultimately handle all issues with the account. The finance and billing department was sadly understaffed. This would result in customers waiting WEEKS & somtimes MONTHS for a resolution on a simple billing issue. My co-workers were great and very supportive. The pay was great.but it got to the point that the money was not worth having to walk on eggshells every day. – less
