Stressful environment; not worth the stress
Barista/Server (Former Employee) - 5000 Yonge Street, Toronto - 27 August 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedDuring my training the manager was supportive, but the trainer made me feel extremely nervous, and I ended up always messing up, which just added to the stress. It felt too martial, the training. I wasn't treated kindly...
Pros
Pretty place to work, and great food
Cons
Too much pressure right off the bat, when busy. I never got to experience what a dead season is like, (thank god).

Stressful behind the bar
Barista and bartender (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 21 August 2023
Managers kinda sucked and you arent paid enough to be constantly stressed out. Fast turn over for employees. In the winter they cut your hours like crazy and you won't be able to afford rent.
Pros
Okay tips
Cons
Stressful environment

Jobs at Cafe Landwer
Barista positionsIt's only good for maybe a month or two
Barista (Former Employee) - 165 University Ave - 20 June 2023
I worked at the university location for over two years and the best way to describe this place is like being in a toxic relationship. They will treat you good at the beginning and use money as a way to manipulate you into staying and overlooking the horrible management this place has. This place is know for their extremely high employee turnover which is why they are always *urgently hiring* so be ready to say goodbye to your coworkers every month or two. People are constantly leaving because of the unprofessionalism of management. They are very money thirsty and only care about their pockets being full. They have a consistent history of cutting shifts by hours as well as delay you anywhere from 30 minutes to TWO HOURS for their convenience because if they are not making money, then no one else should either. They are very disrespectful and lack compassion when it comes to employees having personal issues. They are extremely inconsistent with schedules being delivered on time with multiple instances of receiving your work schedule on Sunday evenings for the following week, making it impossible to plan your week in advance and have a life outside of work. You are not allowed to complain about anything without them telling you how replaceable you are, truly showing you that they don't care or see you as a human being. I recommend you look for other places to work at because this place will only ruin your mental health and confidence. Don't let the "$30-$35/hour" fool you. You wont be making this every shift. The money is not worth the treatment you will receive here. Stay safe.
Pros
Good coworkers
Cons
Terrible management, inconsistent hours, unprofessional
