Pros

I have to say, the only pro to working for Exel is that they'll hire just about anybody to handle international logistics for major companies, which is great for the people they hire, because for many people this is the best job they could ever have. But horrible when in your job you have to rely on people to their jobs correctly, if you're dilluting the intelligence of your workforce you make things much less smoothly. No experience required, no education required.

Cons

I think I should just make a list here, but I'll try to give a broad overview of the downsides of working at this company. In the past two months Exel has permanently laid off their two highest seniority employees- cutting costs, while the Site Supervisor continues to make more on his Christmas Bonus then many of his employees make all year, there is absolutely no room for promotion, their contract with their biggest supplier (at the Belleville location this is GM) runs out in a year and the entire workforce will probably be wiped out at this point. The Attendance policy is incredibly unforgiving, it runs on a "point" system, missing a day would get you a point. 8 points in a year, no questions asked you are fired. The problem with this system is there is no such thing as a sick day, and general purpose days need to be put in for at least a week in advance. So car breaks down? Sorry, you've earned a point. Caught the flu, can't work for 3 days? Sorry you just got 3 points. I realize somewhere along the way this might have turned into a rant, I guess the point I'm trying to make here is if you want to be treated like dirt for decent pay and be constantly scrutinized for things you have no control over, Exel is the company for you.

Pros

Good money for the amount of hours worked

Cons

Micro managed even though you’re not in the same state. Management is terrible and the union is no help to there employees, geared more toward employer.
