long hours
Cash Application Specialist (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 11 June 2021
a typical day includes entering everything for your branch... eft's credit cards and cheques but you're under pressure to get everything done fast. and I wasn't fond of the supervisor asking personal questions at my desk. I don't need the whole floor to know everything about me .. It was unprofessional and none of her business. plus I felt like if I had different interests then everyone else i was left out of stuff. I felt like the outsider the whole time i worked there and i was there longer then a lot of the people. I didn' t feel included. I remember someone asking everyone but me if they could pick something up .. .I never felt welcome and for awhile they went through a lot of staff. a couple of times by the time I learned their name they were gone.
Pros
the pay was good.. every once in awhile they would have pizza day, hot dog day.
Cons
long hours didnt make me feel like a part of the group felt pressured

Poor management
Customer Service Representative (CSR) Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Moncton, NB - 1 June 2021
They will fire you weeks before your probation period and accuse you of doing things you did not do. Very shady and unprofessional. They mess around with paychecks.
Pros
Hours
Cons
Union

The faster you go. The earlier your done.
CSR - Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 10 March 2021
I worked in Calgary base for 2years. Good pay. But they push hard. They want the job done in 8 or 10 hours. But if it takes 15 hrs you get in trouble. So what. But take pics of your hours of work at the end of every day. They will hack the punch clock and drop your hrs. I experienced it several times. After 6 months I got my route figured out. I was done in 8 hrs or so. But that’s hustling and they pay 10 hrs. If I remember right. I got fri sat sun off. 4 day work week is great. I hurt my back. And they had me string bags for light duty. Again they want 1000bags done by lunch. As a driver I laughed at this and done maybe 100 bags. You won’t see to many overweight guys working here. Very physical.
Pros
Good pay/benefits/hours
Cons
Management pushes hard

Good pay. If your willing to work for it.
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 7 March 2021
Good pay if your willing to work for it. The bosses know what they are doing and help where they can. My only gripe is the amount of punishment I had to put my body through to make the good money.
Pros
Good pay. Doughnuts at meetings.
Cons
Long hours.

Fast pace and stressful work environment.
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Lethbridge, AB - 6 February 2021
I worked as a Customer Service Rep/Delivery Driver for Canadian Linen in Lethbridge, AB. The job itself was okay. It was physically demanding and at times, quite stressful. The big problem at this branch was the management. There was no support from any management from the GM to the service managers. I was blamed for every problem on my route, they didn’t back me up when customers complained, I had to fight for any time off including sick time and bereavement leave, and they were overall unprofessional. If you can deal with poor management, you are paid well to deal with it.
Pros
3 day weekends. 4 - 10 hour work days a week.
Cons
Paid for 40 hours a week, even if you work more. No overtime.

Well Paid but hard on the body
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 17 January 2021
The pay is pretty good, but they are really demanding. Long days, hard on the body, and some perks at some of the customer accounts. You are really just a number and that’s how management sees you. The people working in the plant are treated like slaves and do not make enough.
Pros
Good pay, Benefits, freedom when on route
Cons
Hard on the body, Management

Jobs at Canadian Linen & Uniform Services
Disgusting work
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 19 November 2020
The work itself is absolutely disgusting, changing out filthy mats, mops, and filthy coveralls. The management is absolutely terrible and if you ever bring up any kind of constructive criticism to make working there better, all you are met with is "you don't like it, get another job". Drivers are constantly being given more and more work and responsibility. The only good thing about this job is the pay, and the 3 day weekends.
Pros
The pay
Cons
Pretty much everything

Great job
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 12 November 2020
It’s a great place to work; physical demanding but if your willing to hustle you can do well. I made a lot of friends that I still have years after leaving this employer. I’d go back.
Pros
Like running your own business but not having to do half the job.
Cons
Physical pain and can get held back by the plant.

It's the shitest place to work. Management is racist. They are so unreasonable and the management see the employees as enemies. It's a very toxic place

Great to work for in Alberta, Terrible in Vancouver
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Grande Prairie, AB - 24 September 2020
Two different environments from province to province. Alberta is the only non union canadian linen, and being unionized didnt change the job at all. The work load for the union was heavier, there was less pay since Vancouver basically gives product away practically for free, and the hours were gruelling.
As a result, the sales and management push the csrs to the brim, and the truck was overflowing with product and they still demand more. Working in alberta was awesome. Vancouver is awful. are
Pros
Good benefits package, best linen company to work for ( unifirst is even worse!)
Cons
Long hours, heavy work with handling gross, wet mats and disgusting bins of kitchen towels that get mouldy, management is awful, Pay not that great for the effort put in.

Stressful
Wash Bay Attendant (Former Employee) - Lethbridge, AB - 24 August 2020
I found it very high paced. Very stressful environment. Always want more product with broken down machines. Always pushing for people to do more with less. Doesn't matter if you are new or been there for a long time. They pay you the same even your raise in pay. Don't look for any actual help.
Pros
pension is you stay long enough
Cons
Always stressful

Awesome place
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Etobicoke, ON - 16 July 2020
Early shifts, manage your own time. Daily loads are physically demanding. Your days start between 530 and 7 to load and you leave the plant by 8-9 the latest, get back to finish your shift after deliveries by 3-4 depending on how busy your route is. I was laid off due to Covid 19. Great place to work
Pros
Weekends off and holidays
Cons
Physically demanding

Horrible place to work with laughable upper management
General Labourer (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 29 June 2020
I started working there and was greeted with warm welcomes from my co workers. However, the people in upper management only see you as easily replaceable and don’t hesitate to take out their anger on whoever is in their vicinity at the time. The embarrassingly low wages and toxic work culture/management made me leave the company after 7 months
Pros
Friendly co workers with good cooperation
Cons
Lower pay than McDonald’s and you work 10x harder. Management is a complete joke

Extremely poor management and do not train properly for the job which you are hired to perform.
Route Driver (Former Employee) - Moncton, NB - 27 May 2020
Poorly managed and employees treated with disrespect. Training for the job which you are hired for is not done properly or not done at all. Bad company to work for.

Good
Line worker (Current Employee) - Dartmouth, NS - 21 May 2020
It is a job and that's it, just a job and not a future! No structure in place and management is confused most of the time! The pay is ok but not up to par! And no pension plan!
