BigSteelBox staff with a container delivery truckAt BigSteelBox, our company purpose and values are extremely important to us. They are considered with every decision we make, big or small, and they impact everything we do from our daily operations to major endeavours.

If you’ve read our company values, you’ll have noticed that “We love our family” is at the top of that list. At BigSteelBox, the entire staff is a family. Hearing words like “love” and “family” may seem like an odd thing for a moving and storage company, but we’re not like most companies.

It’s a completely optional program where you can choose to contribute as much or as little of your on-going pay cheques to a fund that is there to assist fellow employees in unplanned times of need. BigSteelBox staff can anonymously apply for the support of this fund should they find themselves in an unexpected and difficult financial position.
  • 2 Paid Volunteer Days: BigSteelBox supports a number of charities and organizations such as Habitat for Humanity Canada, the Salvation Army and local food banks across Canada, but we also encourage staff to support local causes and charities that are close to their hearts. You are encouraged to discuss volunteer opportunities with your supervisor and take advantage of the 2 paid days off you get each year to give back to your community.
  • Active Living Allowance: Your physical health is so important! As such, we provide an allowance to use towards something that will keep you moving and fit.
