Working at Centennial was fun someday and others not so much. You are payed just above minimum wage. Co workers where the best part about the job and made bad days easier to work.

Pros

Great Co workers

Cons

management

Worker

None (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 10 December 2019

Good compensation, excellent benefits. Diversified cultures, the cons are they allowed friends and family member work together, they created their circles, if you are outside the circles, tough luck. They will find the way to push you out. Totally unfair,

Meat Packer $18.50-$19.99/Hour

Started good with lots of promises of pay raises and advancement. All false.

Meat Cutter (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 13 July 2018

Poor management. Pay is minimal. Probably ok if you live with 10 other people. They say annual raises. I got 8 cents. They train you to do everything with promises of better pay and dont follow through. The people are all clicky and catty. Upper management doesn't care about people in the production room. Management treats employees like children.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Low pay. Over worked. Too much drama.

cool running

Warehouse Supervisor (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 5 October 2017

if you like to spend much time in the cold this is a good job for you, beware of a operations manager that like to work only in the back because he can hide from the branch manager, OP will back stab you if you know more than him.

Productive & profesional

Administrative Assistant & Receptionist (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 15 March 2017

A typical day at work to me is 8hrs of enjoyment. I love my job I love my customers & very importantly my other team members. There are new things to learn daily at Centennial, I have basically put my hand in every pot and learned enough of every part of this company per my request (Accounting, purchasing, sales, management, customer service, maintenance, etc.) to do every job. The management is quite scattered. Hardest part of my job at Centennial is saying no. I am a yes person and take on any task thrown at me. Not often do you find someone who loves customer service.... I on the other hand am the opposite, problem solving and service are my favourite part.

Pros

Cheery enviroment, lots of work to do, constant recognition of excellent work ethic.

Fun and Casual

Payroll Manager (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 12 January 2015

Great people, flexible hours and very challenging!! The hardest part of the job was getting everything done in a work day. The most enjoyable part of the job is being involved in the employee's personal lives and doing everything possible to help them with life/work balance.
