Source Office Furniture

I was self employed for decades in the office furniture service industry, I also did some contracting work for other companies in this industry. I needed a change in life and so I answered an ad for a position with the other installers, I found the earnings and benefits to be worthwhile as well as a well balanced work - personal life. The management is open and fair in my opinion which makes my job enjoyable. Other employees are great to work with in the field and in the office.

I strongly encourage other installers in the office furniture service industry to consider responding to any ads that are posted.
I always tell contract installers that being an employee has many benefits and security. This company may be able to accommodate a transfer to other locations should that be a need for some in the future. I know of one installer who had a need to move from Vancouver to Edmonton and was able to get a transfer and keep their job! That in itself is a great opportunity!


Sometimes the work is fast & furious and sometimes the work is less hectic, balances out and enjoyable overall.
Pay is fair and always in the bank on paydays! 

I plan to finish my office furniture career here and will only leave when I retire!

Source has been an great place to show up to everyday. The management team is one of a kind. They do not want anyone to be bored or overworked, and are very helpful shifting tasks to keep everyone balanced. They are quick to respond with tools for advancement and with helpful tips and tricks for streamlined work load. They are very considerate of personal matters without being nosey or invasive. They put effort into building a star team and currently we have a excellent group of co-workers; we're like a little family. The communication between not only Head Office, but within each branch is notable. The company also believes in healthy lifestyle and encourages it. We take part in Bike to Work Week and at Head Office a secure bike rack was built to keep our transportation safe. We have team BBQ's and a patio for lunch time use that was built with a little garden! The time spent at the office is happily balanced between work and fun, and I plan to stick around!

I know what I'll be doing every day but at the same time there is always a new and interesting project to work on. I like what I do and I believe the work I put out helps the company grow and succeed.

Some days have unique challenges, but there is always someone somewhere in the company who can help or knows what to do to keep a project moving.

I have gained a lot of skills and knowledge during my time with Source and I am given the space to explore new areas of learning. My work/life balance is the best it's ever been and that makes me feel valuable and trusted. My colleagues are great to work with and the environment is filled with respect and comradery with a good sense of humour added in.

I feel lucky to work with such a great team of indviduals not only in our local office but all across Canada.  The owners and management take the time to show an interest in each staff member and encourage professional development.  I think the most enjoyable part of this job is the work/life balance and support to live a healthy lifestyle among all staff members.  There is an open door policy which leads to all levels of management being very approachable. Source is in a great location where we can ride our bikes to work but still catch a glimpse of wildlife out our windows!

I have been working with the company for over 2 years. I have always been a reliable dedicated employee but it does not matter how much you contribute to the company, you are never appreciated. 

As per the government of Canada, employees are allowed 6 days off per year for personal or family’s emergencies. Usually when you provide further information about the situation or documentation, the company understands and does not throw it in your face that you have blank days left.

I find it extremely unprofessional that you work so hard for a company day after day but if you have any issues outside of the company the company doesn’t seem to sympathize.

Worked 2021 to 2022
Great experience working with a great group of people
-Amazing work life balance
-Great conversations with their knowledgeable admin and warehouse staff
-Schedule is managed the best they can be at any given time honestly,      I might say they do things organized,      I wouldn't have been able to take care of the workload without the employees all working as a team in it's deep and dark 'busy' times.   Or relaxed and easy-going 'slower' times. Christmas time was fun, too.
-"Thank You" - Leaving work was fun too waiting for Sheldon's fingerprints to work 


This company is one of the best I've ever worked for. Management is very approachable and go out of their way to make sure staff are succeeding and feel supported. Hard work is appreciated and rewarded, and there are opportunities to take on new tasks and responsibilities if you want them. It's a very collegial atmosphere, and I've enjoyed building great working relationships with people in my own location as well as at other stores. It's a great team and I'm really happy to be here.
