large work load and good work culture

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
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

Favouritism, poor management, hours consistently being cut.

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

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
Was this review helpful?

Incredibly stressful jobs with little to no recognition

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

Not enough mental health knowledge from the employer

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

Job sucks

Owners and managers do not care about their employees. Head office does not care about their employees.I would only work here if you're looking for a part time job just to get through school

Easy Hire

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

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

For a job as a student it was not terrible, but would never go back.

For a job as a student it was not terrible. However, the culture and environment of the workplace was not positive or uplifting most days; but there was always a few staff and customers that made it bearable. The tasks and duties asked of certain staff were also drastically different for the same job title, some staff did nothing and got praised where others worked super hard and got looked past.

Pros

Short shifts

Cons

Unfair workloads

Good as a first job, terrible management

Working as a cashier here was a good first job experience in joining the workforce. However my experience with NoFrills was extremely poor, management and absolutely not understanding, super corporate. absolutely would not recommend, only good thing about this job was the employees i met.

Pros

Free Bags.. that was it

Cons

Long hours

Fun at first… Management and the owners were terrible.

The other cashiers were extremely nice and helpful to work with. Customers frequently would be rude and management would undermine me when i would reinstate “company policies”. If you have a life outside of work- especially an academic life- don’t work here because they dont care about you. Owners gaslit me into quitting because I couldn’t make it to a shift I had asked for off. Terrible experience.

Great workplace if you’re someone who enjoys talking to people on a daily basis.

A typical day at no frills was very tiring, standing on your feet for hours and only getting 15 minutes break. the management there is really bad, they don’t care about your mental health. and they don’t accept the fact that you have a life outside of your work. they’re poorly flexible on hours.

Pros

15 minutes break was paid

Cons

terrible managers.

Terrible condtions

I’m working from home and my job said they aren’t cutting people but I’m miserable. I’ve been unhappy for a while and had just finished up a big project before the pandemic that was my “make it until then and you can leave” moment I had promised myself. Every day when I logged off at work, I’d tell myself it was OK to be miserable and cut myself slack about not giving 100%

Lacking compassion, understanding and empathy

Management is rude, plays favourites and the pay for what you’re asked to do is ridiculously low. 15$/hour to do managements work and paper work is not fair nor worth the effort. Don’t bother wasting your time here

Pros

Free Christmas party

Cons

Long hours, sucky management
