Very mismanaged environment and not a healthy workplace amongst the employees. They expect you to pick deliveries purely by yourself rather than as a team lift. Or not even supply safety gloves working around cardboard actively. Also is perfectly okay with employees who harass others and will not discipline them. I was actually fired for being harassed and coming forward about it to management. To add insult to injury, I had no HR team I could contact at all. Not that I'd want to work for a company okay with favoritism and harassment.

As well, in terms of just as a job its really not worth it. They offer no competitive pay whatsoever (only minimum wage), no benefits of any kind, no sick pay, and they only give you two personal days. Also they only give summers off but you have to go on EI to even have money. You can find way better paying warehouse job elsewhere that has more to offer and doesn't tolerate harassment. I deleted an older review only so I could warn people about how awful this company is and how badly its management is. Keep applying for jobs people, better are out there.

Strictly selfish company that doesn’t feel or do anything about the lower rank work force. Treats them as nobody, wants 100% from you, may be 200%, but don’t want to do anything for you. Of course because the top and middle leve management, who will always behave nicely but won’t mean a thing they tell you. Pretentious and mean at what they do.
No growth (maybe if you are a specific race, maybe if you love bootlicking, maybe if you don’t ever voice your opinion and are full of YES MAM), no opportunities, try somewhere else and you would at least reach somewhere or recognized after 6 months. This company is going to fail you if you are entry level.

I have never been so miserable in a workplace, stuck in one spot all day and can’t casually talk to coworkers or you get in trouble or written up. Unrealistic expectations of staff daily. The management was not understanding of staffs feelings, all they care about is the standards of the work, as if getting written up repeatedly will make someone want to work harder. I also was never informed that I wouldn’t be returning back to work when covid hit and we were laid off. The only benefits were the pay, schedule, and getting off early sometimes. They say there is opportunity for advancement but there really isn’t. 

Daily monitoring of RTA, review IDP's, amend offline activates. Alert directors and support staff of jeopardies regarding service levels. Daily reports.
Enjoyed working with other co-workers
(Hardest part of the job) To many chiefs when the boss was away. Everyone trying to micro manage. Lack of communication between management leads.
(Most enjoyable part of the day) Reporting daily stats directly to the director, managers and the customer service reps first hand.

This job was so awful, the only great thing about it were some coworkers, but even then you’d get yelled at or written up for casually chatting with them.. when you’re literally stuck in one spot. 

Higher ups only cared about one thing, how hard they can use you. I worked so hard, and of course was only expected more & more to be done. You’re not a person to them. The manager would give me dirty looks just standing right in front of me while I work, and that was the end of my straw. With that ego of theirs, I would never recommend a person to work there.

I really loved my job as an order picker/shipper for Scholastic, great team to work with, nice hours, summer off, and no weekends which is great.  Though the pay was quite low, I still enjoyed the environment and I feel things would have been different had the branch I was working for stayed open.

Ambience is nice and employes are supportive. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If deadline is there, need to work overtime.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Overall good and family like environment and culture is mixed

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Good and stressfree.. People there coperative supportive

The atmosphere is far more relaxed than most companies. Management is very open to staff enjoying their time at work, providing the work expectations are met. Company is also very inclusive in its hiring/promoting, as EDI is extremely important to the overall company culture. Work/life balance is the best I’ve ever experienced in all my years.

Job wasn't hard at all and my manager was very relaxed on the morning shift and never bothered me but they had an annoying 2nd shift supervisor who liked to micromanage ppl from the morning for the 2 hour period where both shifts are there at the same time.
The office ppl and higher managers are all females and to my knowledge and observation very good coffee buddies, who push each other to better positions.
