Calea Employee Review

Expect to stay past your 8 hour shift often

Pharmacy Assistant (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 23 February 2022

This company is a fast paced workplace. They always have something for you to do. Perfect if this is the only job you work. But if you work elsewhere plan to quit. This job will tell you that you have to stay until you finish all your tasks even if it takes you an extra hour or two. You can never book activities after work because you never know when you'll leave

Pros

Nice people, fair pay

Cons

Long hours

Good place to start off but to not stay for long. Can't move up, no growth. They don't pay so well. Work load is okay. Working weekends is not so good.

Fast paced and exciting place to work

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 1 March 2023

Working at Calea is a really fast paced job no matter your department. In operations, there is high turnover because they expect a lot from new employees and the lack of proper training. However, people are generally helpful and if you are accurate, make your numbers and follow SOPs you really don't have to worry much. I find that for some people, if they find you're really good at something they'll keep you there and refuse to move you around. However, if you're proactive and lucky you can sometimes move around and try new things out. I find that management can be a bit tough but fair. I was moved around a lot and got to learn a lot of new things. I also find that management is open to new ideas if you know how to frame it in a way which will benefit them immediately. On top of this overtime is pretty much expected though not forced and you can make quite a bit from all that overtime.

Pros

Lots of opportunities and friendly environment

Cons

Fast paced environment may not be for everyone.
