Favouritism, poor management, hours consistently being cut.
All (Former Employee) - Morinville, AB - 29 November 2023
This is a good place if you want to make a friend, that’s about it…Chris & Tracey’s No Frills was not the ideal place to work. They take advantage of young people, give them great hours for the first couple weeks, then nothing. Nor do they value their employees what’s so ever. I worked there for 2 years and whenever I’d call in for emergency or sickness etc. i was left under the impression they did not believe me, and made to feel very guilty when something wasn’t under my control. Also be prepared to be on everyone’s good side because if the owners favourites do not like you that turns into no hours.
Pros
Great coworkers
Cons
Poor management

Overall it was okay, management had their favourites
Cashier (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 24 November 2023
My experience at no frills was alright. I was a part time cashier and was asking for 15-20 hours but only got 8 or 4 hours a week. This made it very frustrating because I was saving up for post secondary and was very difficult. The people are very nice, made lots of relationships and had a great time, although the management did have their favourites and decided to give them most of the hours leaving next to nothing for others. I would recommend this job for people with none or very little experience and is a great first job!
Pros
Discount
Cons
Not enough hours, Management

Produce Clerk (Former Employee) - Wilson/ bathurst toronto - 8 November 2023
What is the best part of working at the company?Working with my former bosses if they were still there it would be nice and having to meet new customers who some of them became friends due one of the busiest no frills in the city of toronto.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?When you help a customer and they still lose it and say the wrong things about you. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Depends on the area you work for at the company becase my store is a filipino jewish area so my coleagues were mostly filipino.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Nothing new every day same job only if you got some customer thats in a bad mood.

large work load and good work culture
Produce Worker (Former Employee) - New Brunswick - 24 October 2023
A typical day involves meticulous stocking, assisting customers, and managing inventory. I learned the value of efficiency. Management is supportive, fostering a collaborative workplace culture. The hardest part is handling the high-paced demands, yet the satisfaction of helping customers makes it enjoyable.
Pros
lots of hours
Cons
on feet all day

Hard to please
Personal Shopper (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 19 October 2023
It starts off very fun, then becomes stressful with times and products missing or you have to hunt for them. You must reach a certain scan rate, which can be stressful if you are an over achiever. I loved the people and going the extra mile for them. They were always so thankful.

Not a good work place
Cashier (Current Employee) - Shelburne, ON - 19 October 2023
When I first started I was given 20-25 hours on top of going to school 5 days a week, as soon as I graduated I was bumped down to 20, asked for more hours multiple times and was never given anything but excuses. I’ve been there for 4 years next month, you’d think they’d appreciate the people that stay especially in a place with a decently high turnover rate and but no you’re not. I highly suggest getting a job somewhere else that has your best interest at heart.

Incredibly stressful jobs with little to no recognition
Front End Supervisor/Cashier (Former Employee) - Lethbridge, AB - 14 October 2023
Tasks are manageable, I learned that management will lie to you about how you are doing. Management cared for themselves more than the mental/physical health of employees. Workplace culture very reminiscent of a high school. Hardest part of the job was working as hard as possible and continuously being talked about behind your back BY management. Most enjoyable part of the job were the other employees who had it just as bad as I did.
Pros
Made friends easily
Cons
Discriminated against employees with disabilities

Physical job
Produce Clerk (Part Time) (Current Employee) - Etobicoke, ON - 6 October 2023
Good for earning money on the side. Physically demanding job. Employment is secured as long as you do your job. No promotion can be expected unless other people resign which is very unlikely.
Pros
Flexible schedule
Cons
No progress

Not enough mental health knowledge from the employer
N/A (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 2 October 2023
Very tight knit employees. Little cliques. And little to no knowledge of mental health and employees. Management was unprepared and unfair to employees. Positions given where they weren’t deserved and over all just not a fun place to work.
Pros
Laid back
Cons
Hot head management

Chill and flexible
Produce Clerk (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 19 September 2023
Great and flexible for students. I loved the fact that It worked with my schedule and colleagues were pretty chill. It can be physically demanding as you're always standing but its chill as in you work alone most of the time.

Easy Hire
Grocery Clerk (Former Employee) - Sylvan Lake, AB - 11 September 2023
Management of specific location was unprofessional and alarming at times. Often taking anger out of many different employees. In my time working here I witnessed many different people quit on the spot in order to escape the hostile and quite frankly problematic work environment.
Pros
Easy Hire
Cons
Boring Shifts

Great first job, but that's all
Produce Clerk (Current Employee) - Brampton, ON - 11 September 2023
It's a great place to start when leaning work ethic a skills for life but after 6 months it goes stagnant and you learn almost nothing. Some managers are terrible and don't care about major issues unless its dragging them down too.Short staffed to the point where random clerks or cashiers have to push carts
Pros
hour worth of break for 8&1/2 hour shifts
Cons
What day's/hours you work are always random, raises are only given to those close close with the owner or gm

Good first job
Grocery Stocker (Current Employee) - North York, ON - 10 September 2023
Good place to start if you need some money. Coworkers can be good to work with but two managers there don't have the work ethic that they expect from everyone else. Hours can be inconsistent especially during slow seasons
Pros
Friendly coworkers
Cons
Inconsistent hours, managers that don't work
