Ok but not the best

Shipper receiver (Current Employee) – Surrey, BC – 2 May 2018

started off good but then went downhill after the change in management. If your looking for a work place were the employees are valued then this isn't the one. negative reinforcement seems to be the theme around here. If you do not mind being manipulated with false promises and threats then give it a shot. The supervisors and workers are all friendly and do a great job. Warehouse is to small and overstocked making for an extremely unsafe and high stress environment. They pay you weekly.

Pros

paid weekly

Cons

poor managemnt

bad culture of favouritism politics

Company Driver (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 29 July 2018

I worked in 2012 and I still run into owner operators who feed me with the on goings, while then you are paid by the load and you may be dispatched to haul ONE SINGLE SKID to Hamilton ON, and at the end of the week you make only $1,000 for the Owner Operator and as a Company Driver I make 25%, the Dispatcher play Lord and favour those that kiss their a### or those that can pull strings to hurt them.
You will sit at a location for days without pay; If you like to kiss a### and play puppy tricks for the Dispatchers just to make enough to buy groceries at the end of the month, you are welcome to stick your head in to Day & Ross, otherwise run for hills.

Pros

no incentives, no growth

Cons

long wait to load or unload, management is a joke, lack of professionalism

Not what I expected

az driver certified lcv driver w/ 40 plus years (Former Employee) – mississauga road – 1 May 2018

This is a over bill, company, in other words, not do a good job company, be as slow as possible to over bill contracts. Worked like always did n was punished, for being too efficient, bumped off good contract to be on garbage. My neighbor, was former president, and he left, says a lot. If your into working or should I say sleeping a lot, and don't mind doing 60 hrs a week at less pay than anyone else, this is the job for you. And drive garbage trucks!

Pros

Cons

junk trucks

Horrible place to work

Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 18 January 2018

Company to too top heavy with management. Never happy they always want more more more. Training was dependent on your coworkers to provide and they are actually your competition for the most part so obviously bare minimum of training provided. You had to know how to work the system to your advantage or be the bosses "favorite" to be successful which was difficult to do with the poor training provided. Systems and processes were ridiculously repetitive and unnecessary.
Micro managed to death. Too many others allowed to encroach on your territory making success almost impossible. Think twice before you apply!!!

Pros

Pension

Cons

Everything else

poorly organized and full of workplace Mistreatment

Spot Quoter (Former Employee) – Grand Falls, NB – 14 January 2018

This company is extremely disorganized in all departments.
The management team is what needs to change. Lying and turning employees against each other for entrainment purposes will not make your team thrive and be successful.
They will tell you to your face that you are doing well-but will belittle and destroy your work ethic behind your back. You exhaust yourself to do a high intensity job to barely get over minimum wage, or a simple thank you.
Favoritism was also common. There was nobody to turn to for advice or have in your corner if something was wrong.
Go elsewhere, honestly you’ll be much more appreciated.
This company could potentially thrive, but a desperate need in management and supervisors needs to happen.

Cons

POOR management

Terrible environment & terrible management

Data Analyst (Former Employee) – Woodstock, NB – 3 November 2017

I really don't have anything positive to say about this company. The current people who are running it don't know what they are doing and will cause the company to flounder and lose clientele.

Awful place to work

Supply Chain Auditor Internship (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 9 September 2017

A very fast paced environment, did not observe many safety procedures followed. I would not recommend anyone to work here. Found that employees had a lot of fun working the night shift.

worst managed company ever and cheap

Administration Assistant (Current Employee) – Hartfield, NB – 4 July 2017

you'll be pulling your hair out trying to do your job, only to be told your not doing it. they want you to bend over backwards for them but will not do the same for you. their HR team is ignorant and sadistic, and will do anything to get you out. its just a out of date place, they need to train people to properly manage people. your efforts and experience would be appreciated anywhere but here. McCains should be ashamed they have this under their belt as a second company, they treat their employees like manure.

Not a nice place to work - could be but isn't!

Dock Worker (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 14 June 2017

It is like trying to hammer nails with a broken hammer while your hands are behind your back and someone has stolen the blueprints. No thought for safety or people - the atmosphere on the shop floor is the worst I have ever seen in terms of negativity, hopelessness.

Why do I work here - it currently pays the bills.

Having the experience that I do it is especially frustrating to watch management destroy a business along with the people who work there.

Pros

Pension plan

Cons

too many to list

Was this review helpful?Yes 13 No 1Report

Not a very professional environment

Operations Supervisor (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 14 June 2017

There is no real training there, as most people there only really care to get in, do their time (so to speak) and get out, and with no communication on any level of the work environment, most information gets lost, leading to increases in their shrinkage.

Floor staff is care-free, which coupled with the lack of real training, leads to a revolving door of workers. This also can be said with reference to their management as well.

Cons

Lack of communication from/Lack of care for the staffing from management.

Worked Part-Time

Freight Auditor, Part-Time (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 9 June 2017

Worst Manage company I ever work for

Manager (Former Employee) – East,West – 5 May 2017

I have never work for such a dysfunctional company like Day & Ross. Their management group is nothing but 2 faced and if you voice your concerns about something and they don't like it or agree they find a way to get ride of you. I have worked with them in the East and thought it was bad until came to Calgary and this is the worst terminal I ever work at for them. Do not trust anyone in the management group in Calgary cause they will burn you very quick and set you up for failure.

Pros

front line staff good

Cons

Management
