Pros

Excellent Benefits, hybrid work options. On the whole, a great team to work with.

Cons

Unfortunately, I drew a bona fide loose cannon as a boss. This character pounced on me very early on, almost from day 1. He’s since moved onto a sales based role at another company, and thank god - they were a bonafide train wreck. In the first few days in my role, I hadn't even filled out the HR/admin forms required to get set up and in a position to start the actual work he was already demanding from me. Once I was able to dive into my tasks, he pounced at every turn - there was absolutely no breathing room: from the first week in my role, he'd book video chats with me, sometimes 2-3 times a day, questioning my every move as well as in meetings with my teammates. Before I'd completed my tasks, he'd reach out and make me show my progress on them, which of course hampered my ability to produce high-quality work. Given the severe levels stress, I started to experience, I felt like I had no way out. Nobody should expect to be treated like this in a place of work. However, in meetings with more senior directors and VPs, his demeanour changed dramatically; he knew how to charm upper-level employees in positions of power while making my work (and unfortunately personal life) a living hell. Overall, I still think Purolator has a decent work culture. However, as in any potential role, pay close attention when interviewing with the individual you'll ultimately work under; see what you can glean online about them through legitimate work review sites, and if your spidey senses tell you something's off or slightly unsettling about them, there's a decent chance you're right.

Pros

None. Literally nothing. It’s a joke of a company.

Cons

Zero training, accountability, support, diversity, planning, or management. You watch HR spew word vomit that they’re available to support you, but if you speak up to them or any management your job is threatened. HR, upper management, and other departments are allowed to bully people with no reprimand. There is constant retaliation against anyone that has a difference in opinion, even though HR will tell you “That’s not tolerated and shouldn’t happen!” Petty, cliquey, drama filled work place. Teams take turns choosing a target and tearing them down until they leave. The technology and project management of every single department, let alone company wide roll outs are ATROCIOUS! There’s no support from any department and they will badger and bully you to get what they want. Any extra work that they can’t place gets dropped to the lowest man on the totem pole with no incentive or pay increase and if they speak up, they are told “money doesn’t create happiness” They treat people like slave labor. You will be contacted outside of working hours with no compensation, they can’t plan travel with ample time and notice, but will expect you to drop your whole life to accommodate them. Onboarding and offboarding are a joke! There isn’t a single ounce of training, there’s a bunch of outdated links and videos, and you’re thrown in while basically being told “sink or swim” God forbid you ask for training, you’ll be forced to prove a business case for it. HR, upper management, departments that feel they’re superior are allowed to speak to employees like they’re the scum of the earth and bully them on a regular basis to get what they want, how they want it. It is full of people who talk out both sides of their mouths. They preach about wellness, DEI, women in logistics….. but the second any of that is used to support your position you will be torn apart, targeted and pushed out. There’s no room for growth, there’s no support for growth, this is a dead end company. Save yourself the headache and distress, work elsewhere. The picture they paint is a fallacy.
