Physiclly demanding and not rewarding

Cons: You are basically working 15 per hour. It is better to work in McDonalds than here. No benefits, no safety training or just basic training. Pros: Schedule.

Container Unloader (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 9 August 2023

There are no benefits and no consistent work or hours. The job can be easy some days and hard on the body others it depends on the location they send you. Offloading floor loaded containers by hand without equipment can be unsafe. The management are horrible and will lie to customers and you at a whim. If they like you, you get containers some days in a week and sometimes a few a day, but if not you can get only 1 a week that pays $100. They dont pay for travel or reimburse you for gas but expect you to travel all over sometimes same day. If you want something temporary or part time you could get lucky and make decent money but otherwise its unlivable wage.

Pros

The co workers are good, some locations have great people

Cons

Make $100 or less a day with no benefits and inconsistent work with awful management

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.

Great company if you like hard work and good money.

Container Unloader (Current Employee) - St. Jacobs, ON - 21 April 2021

Great management and co-workers. We have fun all day lifting heavy things and are paid quite well. We get to approach our work at our own pace and can take on as much work as we'd like.

Pros

Pay, flexibility

Cons

Unloading containers is not easy and not everyone can do it.

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.

Pros

Great pay, good management, flexable schedule

Cons

uncertain pay, unpredicatble amount of work sometimes
