Pros

Above average benefits and vacation. Most employees at the branch level are good and are the reason why Purolator International is still around.

Cons

Senior Executives at Purolator International manage using 1960-style transportation management techniques including fear, threats and burning and churning through managers and sales. Executives take care of themselves at the expense of employees. There is a high degree of nepitism at the senior level. Some of the managers above the branch level have no transportation, managerial and/or sales experience. The poor decisions made by these managers really show their lack of experience. They have hired many people from large multinational transportation companies. Many of these people tend not to stay for long once they realize the mistake they made by coming over to a poorly managed company from world-class organizations.

Pros

They start all employess with 3 weeks. Working in branch offices can be very nice as there is no day to day intrusion by senior management, which allows for a pleasant office environment. The president has hired a Shia LaBeouf look a like. Its nice working with celeb look a likes.

Cons

Constantly doing surveys, which despite all the indicators from the surveys pointing at senior management as the issue, senior management continues to blame middle management. Maybe someone should buy the Eastern Long island Team Michael Jacksons song "Man in the Mirror". Retaliation is rampant at PUSA. Basically the whole company is broken. There is not enough characters in this space to describe the disfunctional organization that makes up PUSA.

Pros

The benefits at Purolator is competitive and include medical, dental, vision and a 401k matching program. The office enviornment is fairly lax.

Cons

Favorites of upper managment are very obvious and promotions are awarded to those not always deserving. The company seems to be allocating resources to growing sales while not being able to maintain resources to support current business.
