Pros

Not much, to be honest. This is about Oshawa Distribution Centre

Cons

- unsupportive coordinator work team in yard office - Unfriendly and rude employees who go unchecked - Childish clique culture and employees in the yard office - discrimination of all types - Useless and incompetent management - Unable to problem solve - pay isn't great - Encouraged a no break and "eat and work at your desk" lunch culture. Without getting paid for it, which you legally have to be. You have the right to do what want on break - Mediocre training - Terrible warehouse management - Uses recruiters to hire employees - bad cell service and it's in the middle of nowhere

Pros

Great conditions and pretty engaging workplace. Great compensation salary-wise. Good managerial staff. Great autonomy.

Cons

Working hours are the only thing that are not great but you are warned in advance. The rotating shifts can be a pain for out-of-work planing. We get our schedules 1 week in advance which isn't great for planning.

Pros

This company may work for those early in their careers, but it’s not sustainable long-term. There is an implicit expectation to work extended hours to keep up with demands, and a lot of your weekends often involve preparing for the week ahead due to constantly changing priorities. This pace leads to rapid burnout hence the reason it's not a viable option long-term. While peak workloads are common in most businesses, this company operates at that intensity year-round. While not always the case, leadership occasionally makes uncertain or delayed decisions often driven by fear or their limited experience which does contribute to the instability. Many who remain do so mainly for the competitive pay and benefits or their title rather than a sustainable work environment.

Cons

No work life balance Lacks real support for critical areas Unstable environment for long term career
