freshii Employee Reviews

I like the fast-paced work here. Its cool knowing that everything is prepared fresh in the back. I do think each employee should get one meal free per shift

Horrible place to work

Team Lead, New Store Openings (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 17 September 2023

Horrible place to work, CEO is a ego centric person who cared more about their image than franchise partners success. Sold franchise partener dreams and made it seem like it was a good investment. Laid off people due to business not making money. Even less support for franchise partners. Stores were selling moldy falafel.

Loved the people! Very organized franchise and I recommend this location to anyone. Good pay, and clean work as well! This was my first job, and I loved it so much.

Dishwasher/Line Cook (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 17 August 2023

NO hours provided, very bad team spirit and manager was not at all providing much hours to the new ones.they just prefer people living near their houses and mainly to people who know them from a long period of time.Really Disappointed!

An unorganized workplace.

Team Member (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, Manitoba - 13 August 2023

A typical day at work consisted of prep, taking orders, serving customers, and maintaining a presentable and sanitized work space. The Winnipeg Square location has limited work hours, the management was average at best, and the favoritism of staff members is apparent. I truly did not enjoy working there, but it's a job, and while you don't have to like everyone, you can learn to respect them in a co-worker sense, and work together.

Poor Management and Compensation

Team Member (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 10 August 2023

This company does not innovate with their recipes. And management does not pay enough to keep up with rising costs and inflation. Rather, they chose to employ remote workers as part of cutting costs, thus removing local jobs. I do not recommend working for a company that does not uphold Corporate Social Responsibility.

Fun and fast paced. Shift goes by fast. Prep is the best position

Management is garbage

Team Member (Former Employee) - St. John's, NL - 4 July 2023

They kept making me do manager duties waving a pay increase in my face but never actually doing anything to make you feel compensated. May have changed but was a very toxic work environment with constant personal issues being brought to the workplace. Do not reccommend.

It’s an ok work place unfortunately the owners don’t care

Team Member (Former Employee) - Bracebridge, ON - 12 June 2023

The owners of the store where no where to be found when problems arose. They put so much on the manager that they normally become very easily frustrated and the rest of the team would have to just kind of deal the team was very close because most of us knew each other outside of work but then again it caused problems

Pros

Not a hard job

Cons

Everything else

Overall Good Experience

Team Member (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 14 May 2023

I liked my co-workers. The management was alright.I worked at two very different freshiis.One of the freshii's I worked at had good management but the other one was super understaffed and the owner did not want to hire more people. The owner also didn't treat the managers properly, resulting in new mangers every 3-5 months and that would be tough on the rest of the remaining staff because things would be disorganised for a bit.My last manger was cool though. Tried to mkae the best out of the situation.

Pros

Discounted healthy foods, free food

Cons

Understaffed

Freshii

Team Member/Cashier (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 8 May 2023

Fair and reasonable management, had good coworkers, and tasks were clearly explained. The only issue was that closing shifts often required me to go past my shift time

Productive, fast-paced, friendly.

Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - West Hunt Club, ON - 27 April 2023

Awesome working and customer service experience. Great team members that turned into lasting friendships. Understanding, accommodating, and accessible owner/manager. Good food. Loyal customers. Opportunities for career advancement if you clearly ask and negotiate. Can be long hours. Standing for long. Carrying loads. Overall, helpful and respectful workplace culture. Opening/lunch rushes/closing can be very draining if under-staffed. Nice tips.
