Material Planner (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 31 March 2022

High turnover of good employees due to long time diffucult employees being too hard to get rid of. My manager, the other person's manager and HR were no help when I complained. I just got 'deal with it' attitude. Stay away from here.

Fast paced, poorly managed,

SHIPPER/ RECEIVER (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 23 February 2022

Got to work with great people. Management was absolutely horrible. You are made to feel worthless and spoken down to on a daily basis. You have next to no support and constantly talked about behind your back. The manger was the worst.

Pros

Pay was good

Cons

Bad manager

I found it stressful at times because of my anxiety. Plus, it was hard for me to work in some areas because I'm not used to doing so many things altogether

Pros

Bring your own lunch was good.

Cons

15 minute breaks were always short: like say 12 minutes

Ok place to work just poorly managed

Order picker (Former Employee) - Calgary - 6 January 2020

No culture sometimes things you do are the worst thing ever then their not then they are again then comes the rule changes that aren’t followed through with on a weekly basis it seemed to be rules for some no rules for others. Overall needs better/more consistent management

Okay place

Packer (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 29 December 2019

Management changes alot, the past 4 years we have had 4 plant managers....over this time not just the management but the plant itself has changed a bit they have expanded and new equipment put in place with the hope to improving sales but this is all the company seems to care about. Employees are not supported the way they should be at the plant and the human resource department never returns calls or emails. They pay is okay but if u want to get benefits with the company be prepared to spend at least $250 a month for basic health/ dental Also milton is the ONLY plant not unionized all others are.

Terrible place to work!

Picker (Former Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 30 July 2019

Worked at Dare as a picker for a little while in the cherry blossom location. They expect you to slave for them with no thanks. They offer you a contract get your hopes up ,than give contracts to others and give you no reason as to why. Unionized but you have to pay a premium for benefits.

Pros

Employee sale

Cons

Everything else

Pros

Free candy

Cons

Long nights repetitive tasks
