I enjoyed working at this Edmonton facility. After a brief talk with the afternoon supervisor, each driver would get his paperwork and start unloading his first trailer. There was enough variety

in the freight going through that the job was not monotonous, and the necessity of getting on and off the forklift to check the manifest  and mark the skids kept oneself  very sharp and

in pretty good shape. there was a good rapport among the crew and others would be quick to pitch in and help with any trailer that had upset freight or just required some extra muscle.

I believe that most  nights we met or exceeded our expected quota of trailers and this resulted in a pretty good team spirit.

Do not work here! This place is run by bipolar, power tripping shopsteward who lacks professionalism. He will humiliate you in front of everyone. Lack of training, noone will help you improve. Bad management, raises every six months of 50 cents which they don't give on time. You could be working for 2 years with no increase if you're not aware you're supposed to get it. No human resource on site.
There are a few nice fellas but overall not a good environment to work at. I wouldn't recommend anybody i know to work here. They will break you physically and mentally. For those who are working there and experiencing this do not be scared to stand up and speak up for yourself. Contact Labour Relations Board because the union representative is useless which is by the way the bipolar and power tripping shopsteward. 

This is an absolutely fantastic place to work, they truly care about their employees, many of which have been there for years. The environment is relaxed even though they are busy, time flies and the job itself is very satisfying. 

There are many perks like company picnics (with food and prizes like I’ve never seen) and events as well as a good benefits plan. There is ample free parking and a tidy office with a very nice lunchroom to enjoy your breaks. 

The best thing about working at western is the people; incredible management and co-workers who are happy to help and very pleasant. If your looking for long term employment with a company that will value your contribution you should def apply here, you won’t regret it

Data entries, filing, making appointment for delivery, billing, answering calls, getting customers orders ready like dangerous goods paperwork as well their BOL for the delivery. Once the trains cars are empty I get all paperwork together and attached to the containers envelope and then file them

I have learned the AS400 program, Maves, as well the CLR program

The hardest part is that I am only working on 15 hrs a week but I doing 30 hrs worth of work. I will not leave until my desk is clean off for the weekend.

What I enjoy the most is people, talking to them while setting up appointments for their delivery, Got to know them and they got to know me.

I felt a joy to go to work everyday. With great staff and good environment to work in made a typical day at work stress free and enjoyable. Upper management was a pleasure to work with, allowing room to grow and learn from mistakes. The hardest part of the job was keeping every employee happy and achieving the same joy coming to work day in and day out, which in itself is difficult in any occupation. All in all, a wonderful company to work for.

Great company to work at with friendly staff and a superb management team. Executives of the company both in the GTA and at our cooperate office  were approachable and fun to work with. 
Knowledgeable Executives which filtered down to all staff members.   

When I was working there this place is run by 3 brothers that always power tripping, this guys talk to employees like their a piece of nothing. Also if they knew that your a treath they will not give you schedules and they will lie about theirs no work . I just hope that things change now and hopefully it's better. Lots of good hardworking employees work in this place  ,they are family and help one another.

A great place to work, from a sales standpoint, if you don't mind just acquiring freight based on rates only. I cannot advise on the other dept. , there are some longstanding people that still work there, but I have heard the culture is not what it used to be when I used to work there.

- Bad management
- Unhappy co-workers 
- Racist Seniors
- Slave work / dirty and dusty
- They expect you to know things right away but no actual training so you're on your own
- People talk bad about you behind your back 
- Shopsteward lacks professionalism, he thinks he owns the warehouse, if you question him he will punish you

good hours they have  a really good crew its a very productive company the hardest part of the job is dealing with the management doesn't seem like they know what there doing
