Well I started working for the company over the summer. I was a driver. First they required me to pay a lot of money to get work I'm the first place because all of their drivers were on a contract basis.  This included owning a small corporation, and paying your own workers compensation.  I believe these two expenses should not happen. Then when I got everything done that they wished they stuck me in the warehouse for 3 weeks while everyone else got out of the warehouse jobs. Then I kept getting the garbage jobs all summer. Load stuff while they arrange a freight driver to take it to its destination. It lines their pockets with money while us contractors pay the labor. They were also disorganized  and failed to help with the the organization.  Every morning i paid 1 to 2 hours labor while i had to find the equipment i needed to work that day. No one helps in management. I left because i could no longer trust them. In the end they still kept even more money because of claims which I know did not happen. They failed to provide pictures,  listing and anything else to prove it was me. Don't work for this company they will try to not pay you in the end.

Something great about working in this company is how much you learn everyday, from loading trucks to loading Dollie’s with heavy furniture by yourself. Im still learning new ways to do my job and I’ve been here a few years now. But a fair and honest review would be to say that you don’t get paid very well at the Markham location. Work life balance is just terrible aside from the fact that you are guaranteed time off if you give them about 3 weeks notice. The management isn’t too good either but the people that manage the facility are awesome outside of work. It’s like a big dysfunctional but happy-ish family. Coworkers are amazing people if they like you and how you work. The jobs range from fast paced stressful days to really slow do nothing for 8 hours days. You can move one piece of furniture some days and get to go home with a 4 hour minimum pay. Overall if you like to lift and value a hard days work it’s a great place to work but if you like spending time with or want a family, steer clear. 

A typical day at work can be very busy. Answering a lot of phone calls especially from drivers and potential customers. No two days are ever the same. It can go from one extreme to the other where I'm overwhelmed and swamped to asking for my next assignment. I've learned how to be patient and take one step at a time. Being very organized myself helped me to be able to prioritize my work flow and be able to complete all tasks assigned to me. My co-workers are very friendly and all were willing to help and answer any questions I had when I first started. The hardest part about this job is sometimes the amount of work that needs to be done all at once, while answering phone calls and managing all the changes that can occur on daily basis. The most enjoyable part of the job is how laid back it can be. As I mentioned, everyone is very friendly and easy to get along with, this is what I feel is the most enjoyable.

This company has to be by far one of the worst to work for. Not only is it an office loaded with staff who don't communicate with anyone else but they work their field crews to the bone and toss them away to be replaced by an agency worker the day after. They take everything personally, so if they don't like you then you get to sit at home for days on end and when you try to communicate your frustrations to them, they simply brush off your concerns and dish out some story of how when they were in the field that they did what had to be done no matter what. Their staff are NOT trained to be performing proper and safe work and they absolutely try their best to operate under the radar when it comes to legality. Their payroll consistently shaves hours off of your pay and for the ones who don't catch it, essentially give the ones in suits a little bonus. I'm honestly surprised that these guys are still in business.

- Enter a commercial building with a crew and a supervisor, load contents of office floor(s) into 5 ton truck(s), drive to destination, unload contents of truck(s) and place contents.
- Effective and efficient ways to move heavy and awkward pieces of furniture and appliances, best way to load furniture/boxes of different sizes and shapes into the box of a 5 ton truck.
- Co-workers friendly and co-operative, community is great, bosses are friendly.
- Hardest part: Long hours, days that are physically demanding (office buildings with no elevators; contents must be stair carried).
- Most enjoyable part: Good paycheques, working with good guys.

Most of the time the work was satisfying and not overly demanding. The crews usually worked well together but there's always a bad apple somewhere at some point. Driver's got overworked and underappreciated. Supervisors usually got to work directly with the client to try to make things easier. Mostly all you had to do was show up to work and things were relatively painless. If you didn't show up though, management would often punish you by removing you from the schedule for a day or two, hitting you in the pocket for simply calling in sick is not a good way to treat workers. 

I've learned so much about the shipping and receiving industry thanks to AMJ Campbell. Management is always there to help you out.  I enjoy getting stronger while working in a fun fast paced environment, and getting paid while u do it isn't so bad either. Hardest part of job is moving pianos. Most enjoyable part is meeting new people everyday, and no day is ever the same. Typical work day involves the complete relocation of all household items including assembly and disassembly staging furniture. Assisting customer with anything they need that day. We do it all.

Wake up early and move between 8000 to 17000 pounds of furniture on a daily basis.

I learned that team work in this industry was the most important thing if you want to get the job done.

Our management team was good. they would show up with energy drinks and food on hot days.

My coworkers were outstanding and I believe they taught me a lot about moving and life.

Working in the summer heat and bitter cold was the hardest part but the team chemistry kept us going.

The best part was traveling all over the province and sometimes going to other provinces to help our customers relocate.

Usually I would begin by doing accounts receivables , morning meeting with President, arrange travel accommodations.Hiring or terminating. Making sure all moves were on time with right amount of people. Management was approachable but feel a little bit more open minded to changes would have helped. Worked with some difficult and some very good co-workers. Hardest part of the job was trying to put forth ideas to management for money saving ideas.
Most enjoyable was the happy and friendly atmosphere.
I was voted Employee of the Year by my peers (100)

Having spent 30 years with this company, I have to say that it was, for the most part, a challenging and enjoyable place to work. In spite of issues in the last few months, I have to say that most managers were great people, I made many friends both in the company and in the industry, and would not hesitate to do it all again. Over the course of 30 years I worked in every department, in many positions and several cities, and would have a hard time to pick any one area that was most enjoyable or most difficult!
