Fun and manageable with school

Cashier (Former Employee) – Oromocto, NB – 16 September 2018

You learn a lot while working here, easy work while you're still working hard. Learning how to do everything is easy to pick up. The hardest part about this job is learning how to do cash while first starting off as it is scary and overwhelming at first but its easy to overcome with practice. This job helped boost my confidence and allowed me to be less shy, you get to interact with the people in your community and talk to the sweet people that come in (except for the few that aren't so sweet). Overall, I highly recommend this jobs especially if you're in school because it works around schedules easily.

Good Place for Snacks

Cashier/Supervisor (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 19 August 2018

Not a bad place to work. As the stores are franchised, the management and owners are different for nearly all of them. I worked at two different locations. The first one had terrible management but a good pay. The second had great management but the pay sucks. Usually is Minimum wage for everyone but Supervisors, but even the supervisors and assistant managers only get less than a dollar above min. Very hard for stock boys to move up, though Cashiers have a good chance at becoming Supervisor if a supervisor leaves. If you're lucky you'll end up with staff who can actually do their jobs and the shifts will be enjoyable. Bad staff just makes a shift feel long and frustrating. Majority of the job is taking care of customers and cleaning. Can be hard on your back for both stock and cash. Sometimes you get really rude customers too (But where don't you right?)

Pros

Get to sample new products

Cons

Bad Pay for what you're expected to do

Unprofessional and immature place to work

Supervisor (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 16 August 2018

Employees are typically high school students who are easy to exploit. Management is terrible, no support from head office. No room for growth or benefits

Ok for high school students

Crew Member (Former Employee) – Waterloo, ON – 8 August 2018

This job is only good for part-time work especially if you don't have a life. You can not book time off, you do not get benefits, the pay is minimum, the 25 cent pay raise is not worth the amount of work you are expected. The crew members are nice, and some of the managers are nice. Overall, it is an ok entry level job to make some money. There is no incentive to try hard or prove your worth

No support from head office if you have any issues.

Cashier + Supervisor (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 7 August 2018

If you are working under a good franchisee, Bulk Barn is a fun place to work if you enjoy customer facing jobs. There is A LOT of cleaning to be done. It's a great job for learning how to multi-task, learn about food handling, and cash handling.

However, if you are stuck working with a manager/franchisee who is cruel and unprofessional, you will get no help from head office as there are little to no standards for owners to follow.

Moneywise, it's not worth the stress of moving up to supervisor in the company. You're lucky if you make $0.50 above minimum wage for a much larger workload and much more responsibility. However, it is a great learning experience so I appreciated that part of it.

Pros

discounts, flexible hours

Cons

low wages, little accountability from head office

Great work place

Cashier/Stocker (Former Employee) – Timmins, ON – 26 July 2018

A typical day would be servicing the cash unloading the weekly inventory truck, helping people find the right product. I learnt how to better remember things, I had to remember some item codes, where certain products go, it helped become faster, it greatly improved my memory. The management team was very great, friendly and just all around fun to be around and work with. The hardest part of the job would've been unloading the weekly inventory truck in -40 weather. The most enjoyable part about the job was working with my co-workers, they were fun to be around and work around, lots of conversations happened and it kept time going by fast.

Pros

Friendly/Fast Paced/Never bored

Cons

On your feet/Always Moving/Cold Weather(Truck)

Great place to work

Cashier (Former Employee) – Stouffville, ON – 24 July 2018

the staff are amazing, everyone is very friendly and kind. It's a great place to work if it's your first job and even though there are a lot of numbers the trainer was excellent and went at a pace that worked for me.

Had it not been for my home location now I would still be working there because I love the company and everyone in it.

Pros

amazing friendly staff

Cons

same routine every shift
