Stock Clerk in Milton, ON
on 20 November 2023
Fun workplace
Good workplace for kids still in high school looking to get a solid part time job. Clean and fun environment, coworkers are good to work with and management is very good
Grocery Clerk in Hamilton, ON

Not the greatest environment
Under paid and over worked, not a friendly environment full of drama. Lots of nice people employed but customers can be a pain as it is a discount store.

Bad.
As a part timer you get over worked while full time ride the day by taking longer to get things done and talk half their day away. Store managers are all the same , come in and barely give direction on what they need done or do it and complain at the part timers/ certain staff if they talked for more then five seconds .

First Job
Great first job experience, taught me to get out of my shell; greeting customers. I feel like this job was great for me in high school. The longest shift would be 8 hours. They worked around my availability and was close to home.

Horrible place to work
management definitely had favourites and said nasty things to their employees. They will basically make you work full time hours while only being on part time.
