Too good to be bad
Business Analyst (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 18 November 2018
Excellent company.. But IT Manager and Director are both dummies. Not sure how they're surviving for so long. Even Project Managers are biggest dummies and ask for SQL scripts which they've no freaking idea.. No recognition for people....
If I were the boss, I would've fired all these goodies..

Its a job.
Production Worker (Former Employee) – Cobourg, ON – 13 July 2018
Great coworkers. Helpful and friendly.
Regularly lose hours if working afternoon shift. Send people home early.
Jobs aren't difficult but standing in one spot can be back breaking.
Lots of hurry up to get done but lots of waiting and pretending to be busy when lines go down.
High turnover and no job security as a temp employee.
Bottom line is that it's a job that anyone can do. Pay isn't great but there are opportunities to develop production skills

Accounts Payable Clerk (Current Employee) – Toronto Pearson International Airport, ON – 29 October 2018
The environment is very welcoming, individuals here are always willing to lend a hand even when they are busy themselves. The workload is a little stressful at times, but proper time management and organizational skills can really assist you in growing on your professional skills.
decent but could be a lot better run
Delivery Driver/Sales Rep (Current Employee) – Charlottetown, PE – 31 December 2017

decent salary
Cons
long hours, no benefits
Great working experience and very pleasant working environment.

Past employee in management
Manager (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 23 January 2018
This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Higher management does not care about the little people. They under pay their employees and over work them. Their culture is to curse and use obscene language towards their employees. No amount of money is worth working here, had to work without office supplies and bring my own to work while management is having expensive lunches. This company needs to review how their company is run by those they put in charge. Wake up!
Pros
Free food
Cons
poor pay, no work life balance, poor management
Intense Work Place
General Sales Manager Man/Sask (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 27 November 2018
You need to be totally committed to be successful. Company is undergoing a complete transformation. Employees need to be engaged and dependable. Growth opportunities are certainly there for the right person
Pros
Lots of mentoring available
Inclusive & collaborative organization
Senior Director of Sales (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 29 August 2018
Great leadership team that allowed employees to grow and develop. Strong growth led to great culture. Inclusive and collaborative environment where cross functional teams worked well together.
Kitchener facility a big dump , run down
Maintenance Supervisor (Former Employee) – Kitchener, ON – 12 July 2017
Terrible company to work for , treat their employees like slaves , very rude and disrespectful and the working conditions in Kitchener are terible , noisy , hot and messed up shifts . You do not want to work in management as they will use you and not compensate you , as for this position - who wants to work every Friday night for the rest of your career at straight time with not support
Cons
Long hours with no compensation, hot, dirty, unappreciated
oui tout a fait productif
Assistante gérante et gérante (Former Employee) – Saint-Hyacinthe, QC – 13 September 2018
Tres agreable de travaille comme commis de planche et de travaille en equipe et d apprendre de nouvelle responsabilite comme assistante gerante. Et le plus difficile c est de prendre la gerance sans connaitre trop ce que sa impliquait.
Pros
pains gratuits
Cons
pas aucune assurence.
Got to work independently

Had so many filters
Acting Supervisor Sanitation (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 25 October 2018
Over all is good but in terms of wages no one is happy. even the crew is less and they need the work to be done in proper way. i mean it wont be possible with less crew.
Excellent job for those who want to advance in the company.
Jr. Route Audit Clerk (Former Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 31 October 2014
Fast paced so day goes by quickly. Learned how to be a Jr. Route Audit Clerk. Management was quick to recognize skills and assets and reward me for them. Co-workers were professional, friendly, hardworking, and helpful. Hardest part of the job was upper management's need to micro manage, and the distance to travel to work (4hrs/day). The most enjoyable part was the ability to adjust work hours by an hr or two, as long as 8 hrs were put in per day. Also the manager and my department were a pleasure to work with. Benefits package, and room for advancement in terms of salary and incentives was a huge motivator and a bonus.
Pros
Ability to break up breaks i.e 15 min break divided into 2 or work through lunch and go home early.
Cons
Distance, upper management's need to micro manage
terrible management
Shipper/Receiver (Former Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 9 September 2018
