Forklift Operator/Order Picker (Former Employee) – Kingston, ON – 14 June 2018
great place to work if you are young and fit. The job is only half forklift the rest is order picking and repacking. Some of the freight was extremely hard to lift on a regular basis.

Amazing place to work. All fellow staff are very friendly. A lot of room for growth and great place for students to work through out the year. Best team I’ve been a part of.
Pros
Management brings coffee and donuts, there’s a Social committee as well
Forklift Driver, Processor, Sorter and Express (Current Employee) – Stoney Creek, ON – 14 June 2018

Assisting line locations (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 25 May 2018
A typical day is as follows. We get assigned jobs/duties that we have to fulfill. We either do data entry, unloading, sorting, or packing. Sometimes we have a runner to do two jobs at the same time. Management was great at Dicom. When there aren't enough workers, the manager would come in and give us a hand. He/she were real leaders and i have learned a lot from them.Workplace culture was great. Often times when the hours were long and upstanding, we'd get rewarded for our efforts with food or drinks from tim hortons and a sign of appreciation. Hardest part of the job was when the trucks came in late with packages and boxes and we had to do our jobs and empty the trailers in ample time to leave and allow the next shift to get ready. Most enjoyable part was we were more or less independent on the shift so we could talk as long as we get our work done as well as listen to music on speaker as long as we could hear our surroundings.

Ex driver (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 10 May 2018
I thought Dicom was a good company after they purchased Modern in 2015 but they had just let most of the drivers go in April without notice or severance pay after saying they were closing the windsor terminal. Low and behold they are still operating. Stay away at all costs!!!!!
Courier Delivery Driver (Bonded) (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 2 April 2018
Good company to work for. Hours can be long and you have to use your own vehicle but if you register yourself as a business you can use your vehicle etc as a business expense.
workplace looks great, technology used is also great. People are nice and friendly. Although they could come off as a bit secluded. You really need to try to reach out to be friends with your department.
Good job if you want to have zero life and make some money
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) – Pickering, ON – 20 February 2018
This job seemed decent during training..the first day was complete chaos. No one really knew what they were doing, had people driving vans that couldn’t even reverse them into a loading dock. They want you to be fast and efficient and once you prove that to them they take advantage of it. They would give you anywhere from 70-200 plus packages to deliver always in a different region. And by 4-5pm when you’re finished they send you to rescues. Which I caught on quickly was a bunch of bs to go take packages off the purposely slow drivers. Or the employees who just straight up complained until a new person took packages off them.
The vans are terrible come the winter time, on more than one occasion I had no heat and was told to drive it anyways. Management was wild no one was helpful they’d just pass you on to someone else.
Pros
Pay, work on your own
Cons
Long day, work weekends, little training with device
Recruiting and Compliance Manager (Current Employee) – Windsor, ON – 2 February 2018
They have a culture that is unlike any other culture They are all rejects from Purolator who couldn't cut it with them They show that they can't cut it with Dicom either HR is a joke and Upper management is not aware of the problems going on
Bad management practices deflate employee morale and stress cause
Courier Driver (Current Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 23 January 2018
When I applied for a job which was suppose to be 40 hours a week plus overtime with good salary this dream come true opportunity lasted only during the holidays " Christmas and New Year" after which everything changed to disgruntled and mishandled employees stop caring about the work. On the start when the company didn't had enough drivers previous employees including my self were treated by managers with" smiles, taps on the shoulders and nods" ,40 work hours + changed to 3 days a week and one of these days would be a part time, daily stand up would start with scarcity tactic where you would listen every day how only those with most delivery's would get work. These lack of management support also will keep you in dark when it comes to your pay stubs, weekly schedule and supposed holiday bonuses which no one received.
