Official response from Express Container Management

Good afternoon, thank you for your review we always appreciate your feedback and constructive criticism as it helps us build a stronger and better working environment for our employees. As we always do our best to update you with the status of work as much in advance and we can it does lye in the hands of our customers who are requesting the work, and as for the "inconsistent" work and hours, as a company everything we do is flat rate so we don't go by hours everything is based off of days and containers. We are very busy however sometimes there are rail delays which do compromise work at locations.

Great place to work!

Lots of opportunity for containers to offload. If you work hard it will pay off, lazy people will not make it in this field. Lace up your shoes and be ready to WORK

Do not work here

Unloader (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 20 May 2022

Back breaking labour, not worth the pay, do not work here I would advise against it. You get paid by the container and this could mean packing tiny boxes into a huge container without mechanical assistance.

Fast Pace, challenging workplace with a great atmosphere and management team

Customer Experience Manager (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 12 March 2021

I have been with Express Container Management for over 3 years, during this time I have learned so much about logistics and management. I have worked very hard and have advanced with the company 3 times where I am now a manager in the Ontario Branch. It is a great company to work for and everyone is so hardworking and friendly. We care about our employees and want to see them grow as well.

Pros

great team, very accommodating

So you guys understand like every job there are a large variety of different techniques you can learn do help you do your job super fast , you need to be willing to learn or it will look hard. If you want to learn more techniques you just ask the company to teach you and they will be more then happy to help you with that but you have to speak up !Most of guys I have seen work alone doing 2 containers a day the more experienced guys do 2 or 4 alone making 200 to 400 daily .as far as partners are concerned just learn as many techniques as you can and I promise you as a team you can do 4 Containers in 6 to 8 hours! Making 200 a day as a team The key to be successful in this trade like any other trade is to speak up and ask to learn new ways to do your job faster and promise you will 48 to 55 thousand a year and it can only increase from there

Not a place you want to work for.

General Labourer (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 9 February 2020

The management is absolutely horrible. They consistently tell you there is no work while numerous employees they favour get all the jobs/easy work. They start you off by giving you the trailers that none of their favoured employees want to do, they don’t answer TEXT messages if there is no work for you they leave you stranded. They expect you do do everything for them with no help from the company in return. Worst experience I had with a job ever.

Reallyyyy unstructured place

General Labourer (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 9 February 2020

Shifts are unreliable, and some days are much longer than others. I worked one day for 4 hours and got direct deposited $14. The place is run without much thought including the hiring process too. I wouldn’t recommend anybody working here, because it’s not a job. Work is physically demanding, and the some supervisors are very unprofessional. I’d give it a 0/10 but the locations are somewhat okay.

Recruitment Specialist (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 7 November 2019

Express Container Management is a fun and reputable company to work for. It is a fast paced environment with a lot to learn everyday, management is nice and respectful, and the company provides great advancement and growth. Each department within the company has a great response time when it comes to questions / answers. Overall I would recommend this company to others.

Amazing workplace and great people

Container Unloader (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 21 December 2017

While working at ECM, I can confidently say that this was my first pleasant job. The only reason I decided to leave was that I started school and I prioritized my education over work. You can really make good money with ECM because you literally make more money the faster you work. If you have a good work ethic and can do well in a fast-paced environment, then you will really love it.
