It gave me experience when I didn't have any but I'm the type that needs to constantly be on the move. Once I stop I lose that rhythm and it's hard to get back. With layoffs in February,April , October and Christmas it's just not something I see being a 25 plus year career.

Fast paced

Coffee shop (Former Employee) - London, ON - 11 August 2022

Fast paced. Hard workers get taken advantage of, while poor workers get treated like gold . Unrealistic expectations for minimum wage. Management lied to staff and treated them like they were stupid. Poor staff morale

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

Low pay for hard work, always short staffed

Toxic Workplace

Cashier (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 23 July 2022

The workplace is incredibly toxic. You are overworked and undercompensated. You will be asked to do the tasks of three other people. Management does not care about you and will never appreciate you, unless you are a 'favourite'. You will get bullied by your managers and co-workers who have been there for a while. There is a rampant case of workplace harassment and despite numerous complaints, nothing is ever done. I would highly recommend not working here.

Toxic and very stressful

CSR - Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 19 July 2022

It's a toxic place to work with a focus only on the client and no real support to it's own staff. Underpaid, overworked, toxic. I do not recommend working for this company.

Set up for failure

Sous Chef (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 14 July 2022

Made several attempts to ask for feedback and areas of improvement in job performance with no response from management, then was told my contact wouldn't be renewed because they didn't like my "management style" and promoted the chef's friend into my role.Poor leadership. Lack of directionAbysmal communication skills.0 trust

Good for Highschoolers

Restaurant Associate (Current Employee) - Toronto Zoo - 5 July 2022

It’s like any fast food job. It’s not fun, you smell like fries all day, and it’s hot. The coworkers were cool but management was ehhh. It’s all highschoolers and the pay is minimum wage so there’s no point unless you need money

The WORST job, dirt pay, unfit management

Premium runner (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 12 June 2022

Besides the belittling from toxic co-workers and management, management only cares for the company. The required equipment is rarely, if EVER provided. Sudden termination if you cancel a shift THEY put on your schedule. You won't leave most events until after midnight, (despite starting at noon) which if you take the bus, means your screwed. Little to no training, and if you mess up they act like your to blame. Working there I was taught for half a shift, then every day for a week someone would get angry at me for not doing something right, or asking where things go. It feels as if everything that could make it a terrible place to work is already a prominent part of the work environment

Great Staff, Regular Work Conditions

Food Service Worker (Former Employee) - Toronto - 27 May 2022

Minimum wage work kinda sucks in general. With compass canada, at the toronto zoo, there's some jobs that are harder than others. I hear carts is really tough. Personally for me, it was in line with my expectations of what the work would be, but the staff surpassed my expectations. I enjoyed spending time with almost all my coworkers and managers.

An alright place to work

Restaurant Associate (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 May 2022

Working there was okay. Management made sure we were trained for our tasks and coworkers were nice. Would recommend for maybe high schoolers or just someone wanting to work a summer job

horrible place to work

Custodian (Former Employee) - TD Place - Ottawa, Ontario - 19 May 2022

Easy job lol all you do is clean, probably the easiest job I ever had, unfortunately the managers that ran this place were on a real powertrip and totally unprofessional and incompetent.I quit after only working here for a month cause one of the managers reprimanded me infront of other employees for going to the bathroom and calling me derogatory slurs. Co-workers constantly gossiped and talked badly of eachother including managersTurnover is insanely high here, I was hired basically instantly cause they are so desperate for workers.I cant recommend working here at all.

Pros

easy work for the most part when managers weren't around acting like children.

Cons

managers, harassment, bullying, targeting and favoritism

Growing and Evolving Department

Concierge (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 18 May 2022

You will be assigned a department and it's floor. Your job is to make sure the office itself functions (Printers, light bulbs, signage, keep stationary stocked and breakroom stocked ect..) and you offer support for people who work on that floor (assign lockers, order equipment, manage meeting rooms, mail and building access.. ect)

Managers are fantastic

2nd Cook (Current Employee) - Kitimat, BC - 6 May 2022

It was a great experience working for the company especially when your managers are very supportive. The system is not perfect but livable if everyone works together as a unit.
