A planned workday can take a sudden and drastic shift to a necessary response to an emergency (or two). This can create additional stress and work in rearranging one's schedule over the next few days (at least).This is just a fact of life in any healthcare service business and one which prospects should be aware of.Coworkers here are generally supportive and will help out when they can. Occasionally, working into the later afternoon or evening may be necessary, but this can be minimized to a degree with planning. Management has also been very approachable and open to assist with problems or hear new ideas.Overall, a better place to work than MANY others. Just be on guard against the stress!

Pros

Supportive team-mates, management. Better than average pay. Occasional free lunches, company get-togethers. Company vehicle or car allowance.

Cons

Some days can be long — start early/work late. Surprise emergency calls. Workload can be stressful.

Job not a career

WAREHOUSE COORDINATOR (Current Employee) - Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON - 10 February 2022

I would never recommend working long term for this company. They underpay their staff and try to justify it with pizza lunches 🙄. Has a high school enviroment with too much unneeded drama and bickering.

Pros

Mon to Fri consistent schedule

Cons

Everything else

Preaches Ethics yet has none.

Case Picker/ Production Worker (Former Employee) - Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON - 15 July 2020

I have never worked for a shadier company than this one. Dishonest management. A true profits over people company. Preach ethics yet they have none.

Pros

free lunch and ice cream

Cons

Management thinks the staff is dumb and misleads them constantly, Lunch and break schedules are counter productive, If you are not part of the group of favourites, you will be treated differently.

Fast pace, micromanaged and negative management

DC support (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 22 December 2019

stressful, negative and very fast paced. The DC is clean and safe but management micromanaging and changing job tasks one hour to the next. No daily structure or consistent work loads and positions.

Very low pay for work expected.

Material Handler/Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON - 14 October 2019

The average raise rate is thirty cents a year, they expect blood and sweat but in return give nothing but pizza parties. Management is in their own little bubble and Human Resources are their puppets. Their excuse for the terrible pay rates are a “climate controlled warehouse and steady hours”. Well to pay five dollars an hour under industry standard isn’t worth some A/C and a daily 7:30pm finish time. If you are considering working here, please for your own good, find something else. I was here for almost three years, w

great people

SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (Former Employee) - Canada - 13 October 2019

Management is clueless and the higher in command you go the worse it gets. They have no clue what is going on in the company or the industry for that matter. The employees are great for the most part best thing about working here. Can be stressful and busy with lots of deadlines but, the pay scales are generally very good and some good benefits. If you work hard and ignore all the bs you will do well here. Just like any other job, there are lazy people and very productive people. Choose wisely.

Not a great place.

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - Niagara, ON - 15 July 2019

The pay is very low but in return you must work hard for that low pay. Your work effort is calculated by a computer......so in a sense....leads and management rely on computers so they don't actually have to supervise....revolving door basically.

Pros

Climate controlled

Cons

Management

Great co-workers and wonderful benefits.

My position as material handler (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 1 April 2018

The hardest part of this workplace job is trying to understand exactly what the management staff saying two different things.We were not allowed to ask how a co-worker was feeling after they were ill, only allowed to say Good Morning or see you tomorrow. Every two months we had a pot luck lunch and were able to try new foods from other nationalities which was very enjoyable.

Pros

Pot luck lunch

Cons

Management
