Pros

I worked in the Southeast Region, and the co-workers were great to collaborate with. They were very proactively helpful upon my arrival.

Cons

I feel when I was recruited to the company, they sold me a slight false bill of goods to come aboard. They sold themselves as being almost on the same level with FedEx or UPS when it comes to automated processes. But everything is a very MANUAL process at Purolator International, from what it takes internally to on board a new client to how clients prepare shipments to or within (but being invoiced back to the US) the very niche market of Canada. There's a lot of pressure on Sales to on board new logos, and there are WAY too many meetings each week where Sales has to give the same updates in each meeting to multiple "chiefs", when it'd be much easier to have just one meeting per week with each "chief" in attendance who can hear the same updates at the same time, allowing Sales more time to do its job (search for new business and retain existing business).

Pros

None. Literally nothing. It’s a joke of a company.

Cons

Zero training, accountability, support, diversity, planning, or management. You watch HR spew word vomit that they’re available to support you, but if you speak up to them or any management your job is threatened. HR, upper management, and other departments are allowed to bully people with no reprimand. There is constant retaliation against anyone that has a difference in opinion, even though HR will tell you “That’s not tolerated and shouldn’t happen!” Petty, cliquey, drama filled work place. Teams take turns choosing a target and tearing them down until they leave. The technology and project management of every single department, let alone company wide roll outs are ATROCIOUS! There’s no support from any department and they will badger and bully you to get what they want. Any extra work that they can’t place gets dropped to the lowest man on the totem pole with no incentive or pay increase and if they speak up, they are told “money doesn’t create happiness” They treat people like slave labor. You will be contacted outside of working hours with no compensation, they can’t plan travel with ample time and notice, but will expect you to drop your whole life to accommodate them. Onboarding and offboarding are a joke! There isn’t a single ounce of training, there’s a bunch of outdated links and videos, and you’re thrown in while basically being told “sink or swim” God forbid you ask for training, you’ll be forced to prove a business case for it. HR, upper management, departments that feel they’re superior are allowed to speak to employees like they’re the scum of the earth and bully them on a regular basis to get what they want, how they want it. It is full of people who talk out both sides of their mouths. They preach about wellness, DEI, women in logistics….. but the second any of that is used to support your position you will be torn apart, targeted and pushed out. There’s no room for growth, there’s no support for growth, this is a dead end company. Save yourself the headache and distress, work elsewhere. The picture they paint is a fallacy.
