Express Container Management Employee Reviews in Toronto, ON

Independent work. Fast paced environment that usually forces you to exert yourself. Should be more a little lighter loads with the pace you are forced to work at. Great for someone looking for extra or side cash. Not meant to be a full time.

Pros

Work Life Balance / Second Job

Cons

Longer Then Expected Times and Some Payment Flaws

Fast Paced & Slow paced

Lumper (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 31 May 2022

The job can be good depending on what you’re unloading, most of the times you can get a 40ft container full of small boxes , and they will pay you $120 for 8 hours. Not enough after the government takes its cut. But then again , you can get a good container and be done between 30-1hr and make $120.

Very intense and strenuous job

Shipper/Receiver (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 30 July 2014

Poor management holds back this company as you don't have set hours. The dispatcher text's you locations to go to at last minute and at any time of day. Hard to keep steady paycheck and job security is lacking.

Pros

Payed per trailer

Cons

upwords of 150lb boxes to lift and move by yourself

Thank you for your feedback, we do let all employees know that there is not a set schedule on a weekly basis or a certain amount of hours per day required to work, this gives people the opportunity to finish their days work in a timely manner; the schedule is made on a day-to-day basis by our dispatchers who receives the customer forecast a day in advance as well, so as much as we try to give you notice for the next days work, we do sometimes have customers that receive unexpected containers on the day of which we do try our best to accommodate. This will, also, give our employees an opportunity to generate more income.
