Jobs at Loblaw
Others employees great to work with.
Clerk (Current Employee) - Thunder Bay, ON - 28 November 2023
Other employees are great to work with. Poor pay. Lower level managers do not possess the skills needed to deal with employees. Ex. Gossiping about employees, favoritism. Corporate will cut hours frequently and without notice. Expect to be off work for a week or longer after Christmas. If you have a problem Upper management with take days, weeks to address your issues.
Pros
Other employees good people to work with.
Cons
Poor pay, poorly managed.

Lack of communication from store managers and asms
Deli Clerk (Current Employee) - Ottawa West, ON - 27 November 2023
If you get a good department manager you're good. The lack of communication from the higher ups makes the job hard. They make record profits but continually cut hours from depts.

Okay Job for students
Home Meal Replacement Clerk (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 November 2023
Interview was through the phone. I was hired on the spot. Easy job but they dont train you so expect to learn everything on your own. Its also a very toxic work environment.

Mismanagement is the issue, not "people not wanting to work"
Concierge/Personal Shopper (Former Employee) - Bridgewater, NS - 25 November 2023
The management team at the location I worked at was the real downfall for employees. They keep you part time to avoid giving benefits, your hours go from 8 hours a week to 30 hours a week.The front end manager had 14 HR complaints and still somehow worked there. Employees work there self to the bone and aren't appreciated by higher ups.Departments have a cliché type vibe like it's high school while drama and toxic behaviour flows through the store.Not the right work environment if you want to take care of your mental health.
Pros
Small discount and snacks in the break room
Cons
Mismanagement by higher ups with no grasp on store realities.

The bad but for a starting career
Cashier (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 24 November 2023
It's not that bad but there is no help from. Management. Co-workers are fine but there is barely any conversation, which feels like a boring environment

Working for Loblaws has been a below average experience overall.
Retail Sales Associate (Current Employee) - LaSalle, ON - 23 November 2023
What is the best part of working at the company?Having direct access to new stock/groceries What is the most stressful part about working at the company?There is a lack of hours given to departments as well as a lack of understanding from upper management.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Heavily dependent on department manager and store manager. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Heavy work load and often working alone on shifts. This depends on your department- but ours- we were expected to complete many tasks with minimal assistance.

Decent workplace
Produce Worker (Former Employee) - 2187 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6S 1N2 - 21 November 2023
Not the greatest experience. Staff is kind and had their minds on getting things done. Management and how things are organized will have you be expected to get things done with not enough time, and I was asked to give up breaks to get everything done.

It was the worst company I have EVER worked for. You are bullied daily and demeaned by Senior Leadership.
Store Manager (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 20 November 2023
What is the best part of working at the company?Not a lot , you are bullied everyday when you come to work by senior management.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The disrespect from you're boss. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Nothing , it's extremally abusive.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Start work at 6:30 AM and you are instructed not to leave until after 6PM . The expectation is to work 6 days a weeks and if you don't ? senior leadership frowns on you while they work 5 days a week. Too different standard's

Like most retail places there is not enough hours, and no full time available work.
Grocery Clerk (Current Employee) - Barrie, ON - 18 November 2023
There is no job security at Loblaw. You are just a number, they will keep cutting your hours so shareholders get their massive bonuses. They do not offer full time employment so they will not have to pay benefits. To qualify for dental benefits you need to be employed for two years, and maintain 20 hours a week.
Pros
Unionized
Cons
Constantly cutting hours

Garbage place to work
Grocery Clerk (Part-time) (Former Employee) - Merivale, ON - 16 November 2023
Horrible place to work. At no point in my employment did any of the full times care to chat with me and treated me like garbage due to being a mixed breed human.

Pros
nothing
