Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 18 January 2018
Thus is not hard work. Pretty laid back Saftey is a big deal. If the roads aren't safe. Get off them. No questions asked. Still get paid for the entire shift. Mostly driving. Got maybe a total of a half hour work all shift. Lots of complainers. But they don't know any better. Go work for Sysco!

Cons
Shift work
Great People

Not the best for sure
Tractor trailer driver (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 16 September 2017
I was a driver there on home heat, direct delivery and propane, the shifts are horrible, very early start or nights long hard hours in all weather and a work load that you can hardly get done in your shift. co workers were mostly unhappy same issues over worked under paid. The managers will listen to your problems but never change them just false promises. They don't have enough trucks or trailers for the work they have or drivers so your expected to work hard with limited extra help. They run things very tight 24-7-365 you work most weekends and they have a high turnover with employees. Your hard work is un noticed and most customers are unhappy with there service. Its a bad work enviroment lot of unhappy people. This is from the driver side of things might be great inside the office.
Pros
decent benefits
Cons
work life balance, pay, treatment
Great team to work with and lots of room to grow
Process Safety Engineer Student (Former Employee) – Saint John, NB – 29 August 2017
As a student, I had the opportunity to work with my team on many different projects to get a good idea of what type of work I may like to continue with after graduation. I worked with the process safety team and worked closely with each role in the department. The experience and variety of projects were the best I've had during my co-op work terms.

Irving aviation (Former Employee) – St. John's – 19 July 2016
I worked at Irving for years. I loved the job, adored my coworkers but found getting a day off was very hard. I work to live I don't live to work. I found management very unaccommodating even though there was other people in the office who could do my job(and were more then willing, because again my coworkers were amazing people) we couldn't switch, cover a shift for someone or ask for a day off. I feel that she was saying no just because she could. I now work for a new company doing the same job and I couldn't be happier while I miss my coworkers(friends) I still do see them outside of work and talk to them daily I wish everyone the best.
I wish it was different but that's life
