Nepotism

nepotism, long hours, awful politics

PFP Clerk (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 25 February 2018

Manager tried to get kitchen employees to do things that weren't entailed in the job description. Management was unfair, gave preferred employees more hours/special treatment.

A typical day at Longo's would be a very Productive and Inspiring. Working among the team members gives you a lot of teamwork skills and also a help to develop some leadership skills. The management is very well regulated and the company has several programs to enhance their employees potential.

Mostly Highschoolers.

Deli Clerk (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 1 February 2018

Having younger employees is a great way to expand the younger generations work ethic. Many highschoolers I worked with (when I was one) were friendly and polite to customers gaining skills for the long run.

clean and friendly place to work, good for first jobs.

Cashier (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 31 January 2018

Store is usually quiet, when we are not doing anything we stand at the front of our cash and greet customers. Keep our cash clean, till is organized, supplies are organized in drawer. When we are done our shift we clean our cash and sanitize it. Clean baskets and take out garbage. Co-workers are very nice and approachable. Store is aesthetically pleasing and very clean. As my first job, pretty easy, nothing too challenging in managing the cash. Overall, a nice place to work and environment is very friendly.

Good working experience

Customer Service Associate (Former Employee) – Oakville, ON – 12 January 2018

This was the first job I had which dealt with customer service. The other workers in the deli department were a big help to my growth in the department. I learned and improved on many skills here including organization as well as teamwork and leadership.

Good place to be but overarching issues make it hard to be great

IT Support Analyst (Current Employee) – Vaughan, ON – 9 January 2018

Started as an intern, worked my way to a contract position where I provide more than adequate assistance to the company, oftentimes containing incidents and issues that arose before escalating the issues to management.

My hours were good, consisting of 7:30 to 4 PM, often times I wouldn't take a lunch as there was work to finish and not enough bodies to help.

Great culture, easily one of the best places you can work in, but the workload and oftentimes lack of help negated the benefits of such a wonderful environment, of course, each department is different.

Management doesn't seem to listen to what is best for the team and would leave us going long periods of time or of any team meetings to regroup and process the needs of the company as a team unit.

Pros

Good environment, good people, great food

Cons

Lack of management and lack of able-bodied employees

Flexible job environment with opportunities in and out of your department. Interesting staff, reasonable and intelligent management.

Customer Service Rep (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 1 December 2017

Working as a customer service rep at Longos exposes you to the good and bad inevitabilities of working directly with customers. It teaches you patience, quick thinking and eventually equips you with the rhythmic multi-tasking abilities of solving issues with your mind and words while simultaneously doing something completely unrelated with your hands. The management is always aware, observant, understanding and helpful when need be while the hours are often flexible while being fluent. The hardest part of the job would be learning codes, dealing with angry customers when they misinterpret prices and learning new and more intensive skills when (if) you are asked to move on to balance money and supervise the department. Along with every other difficulty, it only takes time before you get good. In better words, you'll get used to it.
