Terrible place to work !

Labourer (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 16 April 2023

this place will string you along , use and abuse you until you are not needed anymore. When you start there you get the worst and lowest paying jobs , the worst partners. You get all the leftovers and partners you cannot communicate with. Any language besides English would be helpful here. They pay you peanuts And expect you to work for minimum wage for 10 or 12 hours a day. They won’t lay you off if they don’t have work. They will just keep giving you one or two days a week to keep you there until you are needed

Pros

Paid weekly

Cons

No overtime no benefits no english

Hard work, but great people and good environment

General Labourer (Current Employee) - British Columbia - 25 September 2020

Working with ECM is hard work physically, as is any warehouse job.They dont pay per hour, but paid per job, which can be a good thing if youre not slow or lazy, earning potential is good if youre quick and focused.If you break down your pay for the "Average" warehouse worker it works out to $19-$20/hour, if youre fast as I am, I make about $30-$35/hourNot the right job for people that are not physically fit, or people that want to coast by. Management are friendly and helpful. In terms of warehouse jobs, Id put ECM in the better end.Some jobs are super easy and some jobs are difficult, but that is warehouse work. if youre not willing to work hard you wont succeed.They helped me out a lot during COVID as jobs elsewhere were not easy to find.

Pros

earning potential, laid back management.

Cons

physical, different locations regularily

Back breaking, Mostly "grimey" work places, and fast paced. But, actively exercising and good money (sometimes)

CONTAINER LABOUR SPECIALIST (Former Employee) - Delta, BC - 15 March 2020

It was labor intensive, dispatch system was 50-50 when it comes to proper coordination, 60% of it was unfair workloads no matter if you're experienced or not, and you're sometimes not fairly compensated for your work (because back when I worked here, it was just commission/"piece-work" based). Inspite of it all, the management is mostly supportive and collaborative, you get a good weight training exercise, physical coordination improves, and good money for those go above and beyond.

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.
