Bad management, gossip, bad attitude.

Job Fair

Applicant (Former Employee) - Brantford, ON - 17 October 2023

At a traditional job fair, one can expect to wait around. However, when a company asks me to book a time and expect me to arrive at said time. I would think the company could reciprocate that same courtesy. Instead we were invited to play some beanbag game and mini putt. I did not wish to attend a children’s carnival. I was applying for a job. I waited for over a half hour beyond my scheduled time with no acknowledgement, so I left. Clearly we have different priorities.

Run as fast as you can.

Lease Operator (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 21 August 2023

Only one customer out of Calgary to get you moving. Sometimes you are waiting a week for a load. Hard to stay above water. Trucks are abandoned constantly with new drivers being put in them so they are not mechanically very sound. They look pretty when they are actually moving. Lots of time to polish the chrome sitting at the Road King.

Pros

Nope

Cons

Yup

Horrible place to work

Billing Administrator (Former Employee) - Vittoria - 1 August 2023

Management doesn’t care about your mental health, when expressed my concern all I got was ‘ok’Was told I’d get a raise and never got one. It’s one big drama fest and everyone knows what you tell other people.

Lots of Favouritism

Logistics Account Manager (Former Employee) - Vittoria, ON - 1 August 2023

If you’re one of the chosen ones by management, you’re set for life as they hand you success. And if you’re not, they act like you don’t exist and instead give you dirty looks in passing, will come up to speak to a group of people and ignore you the entire time.Pretty short replies if you ask them a question and will walk away while you’re still talking, but will come out of their office to chit chat with the favourites and skip out to go golfing with them.Scotlynn has LOTS of potential, but it should start its improvement with getting a better management team for the brokerage offices in both Brantford and Vittoria

Pros

Free food and Gym with Chef and Personal Trainer

Cons

24/7 work, Rude Management, Clicky Environment, No support from Management to succeed

Terrible place

Lease Operator (Former Employee) - Everywhere - 30 May 2023

Cons

To many to list

Run Very Far Away

Truck Driver Lease Op (Former Employee) - Calgary - 9 May 2023

Nice equipment. That’s the end of the good. All the rest is bad. Stay away from the lease program. You will make more money working at Walmart and never be home. Take any time off and you will owe them money for the pay period. Guys abandon trucks all over the country all the time. Stay away !!

Pros

Nice equipment.

Excellent place to work

Owner/Operator (Current Employee) - Simcoe, ON - 29 April 2023

The people at Scotlynn make it easy to work here..The equipment is all brand new..with the best options available..The entire office staff from executives to safety dept and dispatchers also an after hrs dispatch are accessible for communication and to resolve any issues that may arise...The dispatch teams are on top of making the most of your weeks with proper planning and execution of trips with minimal waiting or layovers..with an elog this is a huge benefit knowing that you will get the miles you need and the home time you deserve..They don't ask for much other than to do your job safely and efficiently with minimal supervision and represent Scotlynn in the most professional ways possible..I've worked at a lot of companies over my almost 30 yrs in the trucking industry and by far Scotlynn has exceeded my expectations of what I need to make a living and have a even work/home life.

Pros

Communication, supportive, financially stable excellent working environment

Energetic, always trying to excel.

Lease Operator (Current Employee) - Vittoria, ON - 28 April 2023

I really enjoy working here. As a lease operator I've made great money over the last 6 years. There is no forced dispatch on open board long haul. I run the areas I like with as many miles as I want and as much home time as I need. Dispatch has always worked with me. They are great! There is local and retail work as well. Safety dept and office staff are great teams to work with. The equipment is great and makes a beautiful billboard going down the road! I wouldn't work anywhere else as a lease operator!

Very nice equipment, but poorly managed

Transport-Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Vittoria, ON - 26 April 2023

You are lured in by the newest and best equipment out there, but the management is more concerned about how there fleet looks on the outside than how the company runs. There regular maintenance manager has no education or experience as a mechanic but is a buddy of the owner. Dispatch has well meaning staff but there hands are tied by the lack of good management. The runs are good, mostly CA and back. Dispatch only works until 11 pm and produce loads all night, so if you have a problem you are on your own. Whatever you do, do not put a scratch in the tractors, else you will be let go.

Pros

Good Runs, Excellent Equipment

Cons

Poor Management, No Overnight Dispatch, Lack of Maintenance on Vehicles, Lack of Education in Management

Was promised much, given little

Lease Operator (Former Employee) - Moncton, NB - 20 April 2023

Was told there was money to be made here. But was going behind from day 1. Would not recommend this company. Was told just wait for a few weeks, things will change, but just kept getting worse. Last paycheque I owed them $44.00. Biggest mistake I ever made!

Pros

New truck to drive

Cons

Work 6 days a week for nothing

Hope you like drama and favouritism

Accounting (Former Employee) - Accounting - 6 April 2023

you have to fight to fit in around there, mamagment has their favourites and if your not one then you get ignored. all departments get treated differently its kind of annoying. I learned you really can't trust anyone and if you speak your mind you get crapped on

Great Place to Work

Billing Specialist (Current Employee) - Vittoria, ON - 4 April 2023

I’ve worked at Scotlynn for almost 2 years and it’s by far the best job I’ve had. As long as you distance yourself from drama, you’ll be successful here.
