Rotisserie

Rotisserie and customer service (Former Employee) – Oakville, ON – 18 February 2019

You walk in to work and my co-workers in my rotisserie department are very welcoming and easy to work with. I learned a lot working there for it was my first job, I learned how to work with customers and talk to them and get them what they want. The workplace was very diverse. Hardest part was closing and are behind because we will have a lot more things to do in a short amount of time. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with such excellent people and serving the customers and seeing a smile on their faces and also get to know the regulars that come.

Pros

I worked with a lot of friends

Cons

No free lunch

Good learning experience but it couldve been better

Cake Decorator (Former Employee) – Stoney Creek, ON – 12 February 2019

first time I worked within a union, i like how they tried to keep the quality of their products, very nice staff but sometimes they kept some weak workers that affected the staff performance, or throwing out bread that could be given to customers... i feel the company could do a lot more to give back to the community.

good student part time job

Cashier/Customer Service (Current Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 11 February 2019

I have worked at this store for 2+ years and have not had any advancement. Management says that everything is by seniority but that is not the case at all. They won't let people to take your shift unless it is in order of seniority but other tasks that should be in order of seniority is not. For example doing self-check out/customer service and daily tasks that need to be completed some people that have been hired after get trained for those tasks which is very unfair especially when management tells you that you are going to do it. Bad unsteady hours , and very long days if you have an 8 hour shift be prepared to stand for hours on end and not be able to move. Those are the only down sides of the job, you can make great friends and meet great people whether is be customers or co workers. Everyone seems to help each other which is nice but have been trying to find a new job because I am not happy at this company.

Pros

breaks, meet new people, friendly staff

Cons

rude customers, bad hours

amazing management

Bakery Clerk (Former Employee) – Stoney Creek, ON – 4 December 2018

The experience was very short because I gave up the job when I realized that between one shift and the other I had less than 6 hours to sleep, having 8 hours of difference between one shift and the other would be impossible for me to follow these rhythms of work and rest, stress accumulates quickly and fatigue compromises the productivity and the psychosomatic balance of workers and being a physical job a position in the bakery work is very hard constantly moving the kilos of dough during the phases of cutting and cooking.
Personally, I know that at these conditions of work I can not guarantee to be a good employee for the company and I have therefore decided to renounce the position.
For me the downside in my experience at fresh bread was the shift, for the rest, I have only positive experiences of a beautiful team!
The pizza bread manager is an excellent teacher and with her, you can learn quickly how to work in the processing and final baking of bread making.
The manager's passion for baking is a beautiful gift that encourages you to work well and to continue learning.
For me it was a wonderful experience in Fortinos, I hope to find another nice working group like the one I left behind.
Other plus points are benefits and a fast career at a multinational such as Loblaw in the Fortinos supermarkets.

Good luck to all.
