Flanagan Foodservice Inc. Careers and Employment

I was interviewed by a Kitchener manager, there is 0 Respect between Kitchener and Whitby,

I’d say the most challenging part was the dealing with supervisors who act like managers vs supervisors. Not one of the 3 transportation supervisors in Whitby were available to put out fires when fires needed putting out. So it was left to senior drivers to do.

First hire proper supervisors. The ones in Whitby are incompetent. 0 ability to redirect employees to do things proper. If you know you know. Hire a proper scheduler so supervisors can pay attention to their employees and or learn their job so they can provide support to their workers. Second put a proper Training system into place, current guy doing orientation barely has driving experience let alone delivery expertise. 10% driving 90% delivery Pay your senior employees properly to train newbies properly. Put a system in place, follow that system, don’t alter it because you’re in a pinch. Rid yourself or the multi tier pay system it causes internal issues amongst employees. In my opinion it’s a absolute cancer. Purchase a support Van, so you can actively bail out drivers in trouble. Either by work load or by atmosphere. Thats where I’d start!!!

Stressful days. Everyday. They can cancel meeting due to inclamite weather. But still send drivers out in it and with roads closed.

This is a Family owned company that treats its employees like family. Nobody's perfect, but for the most part I've found people here to be welcoming, friendly & professional.

Fast paced

12 plus hours a day

They really didn’t do anything to protect their workers. Drivers had to find their own masks and PPE while there supervisors hid and worked from home. When they finally had masks to hand out, those were put under lock and key and no one was available to hand them out. I believe it’s still a mess.

8 hours per day

Yes they do and it is very easy

No. Anyone can do this job with their eyes closed. Joke
