TRANSX GROUP OF COMPANIES Employer Reviews

Would not be a bad place to work, if they kept their promises.

Salaries are not too far out of line with the responsibilities at the outset, but more and more responsibilities and required working hours will be added without a change in compensation.

Salary increases based on performance are very uncommon. Most increases occur due to employee threatening – more... to quit.

To hear of 4-5 years without any increase in compensation is not unheard of, if not fairly commonplace.

Exceptional performance is not rewarded within the company through either advancement or compensation despite promises made to this extent.

Group Benefits are very good, mostly paid for by employer.

Vacation time is lacking. 3 week maximum after 5 years service. No further increases.

If considering employment with this company, an hourly wage is a much more prudent choice over salary as TransX is an expert at exploiting salaried employees.

And get everything in writing. – less

TransX has a culture of management lies and arrogance. You will be belittled in front of co-workers and managers will laugh about it later amongst themselves. They won't deliver on pay or promises and you'll be worked to the bone with unpaid overtime. Your personal life will suffer as a result.

Once they've broken you and you are no longer of use to – more... them they'll throw you out like garbage. Most layoffs happen in November so they don't have to pay you the Christmas profit sharing bonus. If you quit just after receiving your bonus then you are evil incarnate in the eyes of managers and they'll slander you throughout the industry. – less

I am very happy to be working at TransX in Guelph. THere is a really "community feel" here. I enjoy all of the people that I work with.

I am still fairly junior (this is my first job out of univ)........ and I am really happy that I joined this co. I see myself working here for a long time !

Job itself was great but management was terrible. Operations manager would talk down to employees and belittle them in front of other employees. Drivers were not being paid correctly by ops manager and in turn were pretty hard to deal with. Overburdened with work that you are expected to do and expected to stay overtime to complete with no compensation. – more... Work is constantly monitored and micro managed. Pay was good but overall negative experience. – less

I've worked as a driver at a few companies, all in western Canada, and I'd have to say TransX is probably the best. They seem pretty focused on looking for ways to make the employees feel happy and appreciated. As for myself, I like that the company respects me and gives me lots of opportunities to advance and earn some good money. I would not hesitate – more... to send any of my friends to TransX. – less

Out of all the places I have worked TransX is for sure my favourite. The work is challenging and the people I work with are great! TransX is definitely a place where you can grow your career, with so many locations across Canada and the USA.

In Winnipeg (the head office) there are many different departments to work in.

You will not be happy here! You will be yelled at daily and in front of others. So many people have come and gone from Transx-they can't keep people! They treat you horribly and don't care about you at all.

TransX is a challenging and fast paced environment to work in. If you work hard, you will be recognized and rewarded. The people I work with are great.

Currently working in accounts receivable. Manage approximately 50 differently accounts. Process adjustments, reconcile accounts and process credit applications.

Transx is better than most when it comes to listening to the driver. Exception is that they grew too big, too fast so management hasn't caught up yet and there are some areas of the business lacking good management. There is an open door policy if a driver has concerns so as a driver you can go in and talk with someone. A typical day at work is fairly – more... stress free once you are on the move, but the day 1 is pretty stressful, trying to meet various deadlines.
The other drivers are usually pretty helpful and great to be around (sure you still have the drivers that are all negative, but those people would never be happy no matter where they are)
The salary and benefits are great as long as you stay a company driver, become a lease operator and then you will have problems. The hardest part of the job is going across the US border and having to comply with every whim, wish and fact of the Immigration and Customs officials.
The most enjoyable part of the job, is once that part is over the driver is pretty much on their own and able to run the "work day" as he/she wishes. Also there are times when it becomes possible to be a tourist in some of the most interesting spots. All in all Transx Group of Companies is a great place to work. – less

Same basically as at NYanke, Although with this company we hauled refrigerated trailers, swing beef + pork. These goods have a much higher center of gravity and require extreme caution when hauling.
