ACCO BRANDS CANADA INC

Starting my day with a nice Good morning sets the tone for the day.
I take an hour to go through my emails and deal with anything urgent in the morning.  I then run the reports required to start account reconciliations.  I create any Journal entries that need to be completed, I reconcile the bank daily and oversee cash applications. I will then go back to my emails as I do receive 75-150 emails from inside and outside customers with matters to resolved, requests and approvals.  I interact with sales and customer service, I also interact with the General Accountant on the Finance team.  Everyday I feel I do learn just a little bit, if not about my job, it will be about someone or something, as I do ask a lot of questions, knowledge is key.  The hardest part for me is walking away from things that can be completed the following day, I have strong work etics and like to finish what I start.  The most enjoyable, is the feeling of a productive day and interacting with my peers, as we are like family/ a team.

A typical day would be printing orders to be picked in the warehouse, once the orders are complete billing them, kept track of order progression via excel. Answering emails and phone calls, booking some receiving appointments, filing orders and general office/administrative duties. My co-workers were fun and we always did things like order in lunch, or sometimes all go out to lunch. The environment was fun with everyone joking around, as long as the work was done at the end if the day everything else was pretty laid back. The best part was starting off an a decent salary as well as getting a raise, overtime, a bonus and vacation pay. The worst part was not being able to advance in the position/company, there was no where else to go.

My day consists of many things, first and formost looking after customer needs and ensuring they have with they need to meet my DSO targets and projected cash flows.  I enjoy working with all my co-workers, we work well together and get the job done!
The hardest part of my job is leaving something un-done, nothing critical but sometimes their are reports you need to walk away from and view them with clear eyes.  I enjoy doing reconciliation, analyzing reports, problem solving and achieving results, the results I achieve push me to work as hard as I do. 

I worked there years back been let go many times-worked in the Manufacturing Dept. I wasn't very well received by some unpleasant people in the department-I was was with an employment agency-Lift-temp-never been hired through the company-the management was lousy

I love working here i am currently working on contract but honestly its a good company to work as a student because you can balance you work and life . Amazing experience every people are kind and you can find diversity in the company. 

Had a great communication from offices in Calgary and Ontario.

Enjoyed my work with my co workers and supervisor, we got along really well and made each work day the best we could. Our goal was to process as many orders as we could to keep the customers happy.

Management are responsible and experienced. They care about their business and the people working with them. The culture of the company is good. It has a diversified team and most of the times, you would be able to balance your work and life. 

Excellent company to work with.  Learned in many areas while helping with inter-departmental queries.  Very co-operative co-workers and supportive management!

It all depends on your Manager.  The culture used to be inviting and warm, now it feels like every department is their own island and they don't always work well together.

AS an employees I  enjoyed work efficient according to the company    needs and values are consistent with those in the workplace. I  developed  better relationships with coworkers and were  even more productive.
