Same as any other corporate company, high expectations..zero support
Recruiting (Current Employee) - Alberta - 10 October 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedCons: -Salary low. Cost of living keeps increasing yearly, wages don’t increase -working over your daily hours to keep up with the expectations for number of drivers D & R wants hired every quarter per person. This company has unrealistic expectations -the only thing that is important is that you meet your KPI -Incentive program is a joke. Constant changes to the incentive program to make it impossible to reach to receive a bonus -TERRIBLE communication -changes are made often and not communicated -to many people making decisions on the same situation, this can be very confusing at times -improvements needed for training when hiring new employees -managers do not give positive feedback, always negative feedback. Moral is low
Pros
Mon-Fri 8-5, Flexibility, Good benefits, Most people are easy to work with, Good starter job to get the experience needed to move forward

Environnement travail rapide
Opérateur de chariot élévateur manutentionnaire (Former Employee) - Ville Lachine - 21 November 2023
Verification du chariot élévateur avant le quart de travail.vider et remplir les remorques 53 pieds.j'ai aussi appris que day&ross ne donne pas de formations sur le terrain et que ceux qui ont de l'expérience tantes de leurs inculqué de l'éthique de travail avec beaucoup de mal car trops d'employé sont inexpérimentés.l'aspect le plus difficile est de répété sans arrêt les mêmes choses à croire qu'à chaque jours est un premier jous.le plus agréables est d'avoir des connaissances pour bien effectué le travail
Pros
Repas comme pizza occasionnellement
Cons
Courte pause.avantage sociaux ordinaires.

Quality not QUANTITY
LCV Driver (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 22 October 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? Driver manager is very active What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Brokers misuse the drivers and do the Knowledge training on behalf of drivers .Therefore drivers don’t know a lot of things in the field. For example: Difference between QUALITY AND QUANTITY. Meaning of PROFESSIONAL DRIVER CLASS 1. Meaning of UNEXPECTED DANGER. SECURE THE BREAK. As Truck Driver my seat is on Height so I Observed my right and left 95% public are on the cellphone while driving so professional driver jobs demand more concentration. Driver and specially brokers’s head is on $$$. Finally: I think, we are not visiting THIS PLANET only for $$$ but Do our job with sincerity.

Ok company
Owner/Operator (Current Employee) - Surrey, BC - 15 September 2023
Nothing exciting to say. Just your usual basic company to work with. They want new truck but won’t pay enough. Lot of work but only for few people……..

Fast paced, good pay & benefits, lots to learn
None (Current Employee) - Surrey, BC - 2 September 2023
Learned a massive amount of knowledge with this company in a lot of different roles. If you work hard there is a lot of career opportunity but you do have to play the politics game a bit. Very fast paced environment that can be quite stressful at times depending on your role. Pay & benefits are good but a lot is expected of you compared to smaller companies. Environment in the warehouse can be toxic at times & stressful but there a lot of supervisors and forklift operators that do a fantastic job. Office environment is great for the most part in my opinion. Management is great in some areas but definitely could use some improvement.

Jobs at Day & Ross
Toxic workplace, low standards.
Dock Worker/Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 28 August 2023
I don't know what I can say, it seemed okay at first but management is lazy, they really are not accountable for anything which is why they hire people through a temp agency, no communication through the company nor the agency. The people were okay at times, but they will make everyone else's job harder if it means they can slack off. It's a job but it's toxic so have fun. Lol
Cons
Toxic, not accountable, do not care about employees

So little incentive
Bilingual Customer Care Representative (Current Employee) - Grand Falls--grand-sault, NB - 21 August 2023
Belittling to work managers want satisfaction and KPI is almost not worth stressing if you want quality customer service quantity becomes the priority among customer framework
Pros
Staff friendly but hard to work for
Cons
OT driven for little compensation not worth exhausting burnout times

chaos no room to move but whatever lol
Warehouse Worker/ cleaner (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 18 August 2023
Most days especially mondays there is so much freight on the floor there is no room to move and then other days there is like 2 freights on the floor lol. I think about 70% of the stuff is like broken or you can't find it etc. I just feel kinda sorry for the drivers and forklift guys trying to move stuff in a small space. Like if your freight is in the middle you have to move the other pallets to get to it because the bays are so tiny then stuff gets lost even more. Most of the time.... time is wasted looking for stuff etc.
Pros
free for all do what you want etc.
Cons
looking for stuff, no room to move, dirty and unsafe etc

poor managements
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Grand Falls--grand-sault, NB - 16 August 2023
the only thing that is important is that you meet your KPI and do less errors than possible. Its a fast paced environment. They have great values but they are too understaff therefore they put alot of pressure on employees.

It was a good learning experiance.
Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 12 August 2023
Best thing about working was to learn how to use the forklift. A couple of fears while learning how to drive the forklift was entering and backing out of the trailers until I got a hold of it.
Pros
free coffee and donuts
Cons
Paper work needed more space.
