Exciting and motivating place to work

Mostly enjoyable colleagues, fun environment

Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 19 August 2017

I worked with countless employees and diligently worked through tasks.
I learned that gossip makes a work environment toxic and unpleasant, and those who supervise tend to exaggerate the jobs that they do in order to shift work onto your shoulders. (This does not apply to all supervisors)
The environment is fun and lighthearted, and the most enjoyable part of the job is the people you meet and interact with on a daily or weekly basis.

Pros

food, friendly staff

Cons

no benefits/discounts, no room to advance

Was this review helpful?Yes NoReport

Great Place to start

Customer Service (Current Employee) – St. Catharines, ON – 18 August 2017

Bulk Barn is a great place to work when you are in between jobs. Working after school or for extra money. Not stressful, only during the holidays. However not much to go up from being a supervisor

Pros

Great choices of bulk foods

Cons

Nowhere to move up from

Pretty good place.

Cashier (Current Employee) – New Westminster, BC – 13 August 2017

I work for the new westminster store. It's a nice part time job. The head office management is great will often buy Tim Horton's for the staff. The manager and assistant manager and all other staff are great. The pay is decent for part time work. No stress.

Pros

Really good coworkers

Cons

No benefits

The employees make the job at my store.

Stock Clerk (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 8 August 2017

Working stock at Bulk Barn is pretty much your standard, mundane stock shift. The company is Franchised so I imagine each store offers a variable experience. I am lucky enough to work at a busier store which means more coworkers and customers to help keep the day rolling by. Undersweeping the bins will kill your back.

Pros

Flexible Break Schedule

Cons

Physical Exertion

Bulk Barn Supervisor position

Supervisor, Full Time (Current Employee) – Barrie, ON – 6 August 2017

Job entitles too much work for random hours, even as full time, for too little pay. Cooperation is advised but never truly shown. All in all its a job for teenagers or those not looking for anything serious.

Pros

Management

Cons

No consistancy

Merchandiser

Keyholder/Merchandiser/Cashier (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 4 August 2017

Great company to work for. Low stress and great people and staff. I worked for over 4 years and the job was not stressful. I look forward to move up the ranks.

Sad to see Management go

Cashier (Former Employee) – Sarnia, ON – 1 August 2017

This was one of my favorite places to work. But sadly all the owners have been taken over by corporate. Our owner was the best boss ive ever had. I'm sure bulk barn is still decent to work for, but won't ever be the same.

a good job if you're not looking for anything too serious

Cashier/Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Bracebridge, ON – 24 July 2017

The management where I worked was horrible. There was a lot of gossip and drama among the employees and the boss/management. Horrible hours given, given maximum 10 hours a week. Not accommodating of illnesses/time off requests (no matter how far in advance).

Pros

it was easy

Cons

awful management

Great for people that like to help others

Supervisor (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 23 July 2017

Great job for people that like to help others and are strict with cleanliness. Should have some knowledge of baking and cooking. Good memory is an asset.

good work place, poor managment

Cashier and Customer Service (Former Employee) – Okotoks, AB – 10 July 2017

Quiet, slow pace workplace

Cashier (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 8 July 2017

Pros

Good environment

Cons

Long hours

Sad

Supervisor (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 7 July 2017

Working here was very fun at first. My coworkers were extremely friendly and we all got along very well. The management, at first, was very nice and were accommodating. This store went through many staff changes, either because of the staff personnel themselves or management just being too strict.

Eventually, the management started becoming rude and overbearing. They would pick at every little thing we did - not stocking properly, not doing enough at the cash register, etc.

These were not true. The staff were all hardworking and were treated less than they should have been. It was disappointing as I truly enjoyed working at Bulk Barn. However, I wish the management were better people.

Pros

Coworkers

Cons

Management

Good Steady Part Time Position

Supervisor (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 7 July 2017

A typical day at work would be pretty average when it comes to a retail setting. Cashing out customers in a sufficient and positive way would be the main focus. Cleaning and stock would happen on a regular day too.
