Normal day is starting with a meeting, the count in the system.
Days often consist of unloading/loading trucks but most of the crew will be in the pick line.
Job keeps you busy, in shape and has approachable managers who are easy to talk to.
Raise from starting wage typically happens within the first 6-8 months.

But I do find the job was hard for a new employee to advance and get out of part time work due to seniority above you because they are often picked first for a new role or full-time and the wage cap for general workers is only around 24$ unless becoming a supervisor or manager.
I ended up quitting due to being stuck at part time for 2 years. 
Another flaw which might not be a flaw to others but definitely to me.
I didn't like going in for my shift and unsure how long I was working, am I getting sent home at 4 hours, am I getting sent home for a normal shift or 12 hours often not knowing until lunch time or home time was around the corner which often killed morale among the crew.

But that might not be a problem alot of people do love overtime and this job has plenty of it, not many places a part time worker can be bringing home 1600$ paychecks working 4 days a week.
OT is 1.5 and stat holidays 2x your regular pay
Also dont expect to have any stat holiday off.

I want people to understand that I am a hard worker, and never have much to complain about when I have officially left a job. This job was different for me.
-Management was the worst I have ever experienced. I had to wait 2 hours for product to come to the pick line before.
-A few managers in particular (who have been working for 10+ years and probably won't be leaving soon) tended to "police" rules like wearing gloves, over more important issues.
-No benefits, very difficult to reach a full-time position. Friend of ours jus reached FT after 2 years, and being laid off.
-If the shift you were hired on disappears, they will lay you off and re-offer you a job with a different schedule.
-Made it difficult to apply for EI (Employment Insurance).
-They really treat their warehouse employee's terribly. I have worked for 3 warehouses, and this is the only one I can say is actually unsafe.
Example: Someone was knocked out on shift, and didn't remember what happened. First Aid then moved him before trying to help.

Overall my experience was bad. Pay was alright and plenty of chances to leave early which was nice. If it rains there will be water all over the warehouse. They are unionized and have a lot of old employees that aren't the best.

Sorry for the Essay. Really don't want anyone to be jerked around the way I was. I was just an Order Picker and always hit targets.

Completely unorganized. Safety rules are only enforced when they know they got someone they don't like or it's someone who has been with the company for a long time as they are weeding out the older contract because of higher pay. 

They write you up for driving too fast in the parking lot with no ability to actually determine your speed. They union takes the companies side on nearly all disciplinary actions "Company has the right to do what they want" They say. So far, just the foreigners have been hit with this despite white people admitting to speeding. 

Waiting in the lunch room for my ride in -30 weather and they came in and told me i couldn't wait inside. 

They really pick on foreigners, specifically the ones that have a hard time with English. 

This is not a job you work at for anything other then to pay the bills. Don't care about anything there. 

Some old time employees are alright, the others will go to management about you for anything and everything to look special to management only to still be treated like garbage them selves.   

Part timers get kicked out at the drop of a hat when it's "slow" and laid off every January/February

You will be overworked and undersupported. Uppermanagement will leave you to fend for yourself unless they can get caught "helping". They have other business units under this umbrella that all have similar issues.

-Reactive to situations: They won't provide saftey gear or equipment to do the job properly that they find "expensive" unless there is an incident that results in product or property damage. 

-No Inventory Control: There is no organization on the floor. Mangement refuses to see value in process to build into the system that will make life easier for the people on the floor. If something goes missing there will be more finger pointing than solutions

-Overworked with HIGH levels of Burnout: They'll work you to death and then replace you while refusing to understand why they cause these situations.

-Garbage Benefit Package: Just buy your own. That way you can get proper coverage for things like Dental and Vision care. They make you pay for a portion of your benifits and that money is better spent on your personal wellbeing.



My experience with this company highlights a troubling pattern – a preference for employees who conform rather than contribute positively. The culture stifles innovation and discourages any attempts to bring about change.

Safety is a glaring issue here, with inadequate racking systems and an overall disregard for employee well-being. Shockingly, a significant number of warehouse operators lack proper training, jeopardizing both their safety and operational efficiency.

The absence of a safety-conscious mindset and the dismissive attitude toward training are alarming. This company's practices warrant attention from occupational health and safety authorities.

Potential job seekers should be cautious before joining them, as its stifling culture, poor safety standards, and lack of training undermine its appeal as a responsible employer. Positive change is needed for the sake of employees and the company's reputation.

A company with great growth potential but too focused on micromanagement and inexistent succession plan.  The opportunities of advancement are directly subjective to one of the top manager's empiric criteria; which means someone will advance within the company only if such manager “thinks” the candidate can handle the job, instead of encouraging people to apply for it and go through the whole screening process in order to determine his/her previous experience, set of skills, and qualifications.
Some shifts are overloaded of work; for instance, there is a high pressure to earn impossible speeds to realize the daily tasks in order to finish them before the end of the shift.  Their technology system is very obsolete, they use more than one system to control the inventory and most inventory movements are done manually, which represents a high risk for human error; however, ZERO mistakes are tolerated.

Overall pad pay for the amount of work.

The warehouses are poorly run, unsafe racking not bolted down and even dangerous incidents have occurred in warehouses and management has still not changed anything because the focus on productivity and profit is too great. Management puts stress on zero incidents but "incidents" are classified as shipping incorrect product , being late, and employees missing days etc... Employees are stressed out and worried about their jobs on a daily basis as employees are giving no unpaid time off for sick time or medical emergencies. If an unpaid day off is taken, employees are suspended without pay for their absences. 
Co-workers are mostly nice and good to work with but the culture of this company encourages employees to backstab and sell each other out to advance within the company or look good to management because of the unrealistic expectations that management has set in terms of productivity and daily tasks.

MTE is a very well organized company with tons of potential. Employees are typically long term warehouse operators with a lot of experience and who work hard to deliver value to the company and a good service to the clients. 

The company has been around a long time and is number 1 in Edmonton for warehousing If you work hard and show the right attitude you can progress as far you want to. Most foreman were ex operators, so the company likes to recruit from within if you are willing to make the effort.  A very faced paced environment with lots of work.

I have worked here for three months and had an exceptional time here. Great people, very open to improving process and continually improving things. 

Remember if you start as an operator you have to put you’re time in, nothing in life is handed to you for free. Work hard and you will be recognized by management.

Thanks for the time at MTE great memories!!!

They are a very productive workforce but don't have the most efficient technology systems and processes in place.  Business is booming almost always as they handle a diverse group of clients.  You have to be careful on the warehouse floor because some of the longer serving staff have become complacent with old safety standards.  For example, a clamp truck carrying a double stack of newsprint rolls weighs a combined weight of 19,000 lbs. and can travel at speeds up to 25km/hr. Needless to say, this can do some serious damage if it were to hit anything.  Safety was always my main concern when working there. Secondly, was whether I would get out on time at the end of my shift.  It's a busy, busy place, but that is what I found most enjoyable. Oh, and the place is very profitable, so getting bonuses is a nice perk.

Management thinks they know everything but they are the biggest mistake the owner made. They treat you like a number. All they care about is themselves. They dont care about their empoyees, i knew an employee that was denied a week off to get married, another employee was denied time off because her step mom passed, that was their excuse that it was not their mom haha management is a joke at this place and even worse, the people on top are even worse than the management for letting all this happen. I dont know if the owner knows that he has got jokers running his business, i have heard good things about the owner and i hope he looks into those idiots and gets rid of them because many of the employees working there dont give their best to the company because of how they are treated. Tip to owner GET THESE JOKERS OUT OF YOUR COMPANY, THEY ARE RUINING YOUR BUSINESS.
