Very poor management
Lead deli (Former Employee) - Sherwood Park, AB - 11 July 2021
That store manager was not good at the job to begin with and now that corporate is owned by someone else thing there are 10 times worse. Good luck trying to get a day off or knowing when you are to be in next as your schedule can be changed with out notice the day you work.
Pros
Meet interesting people
Cons
Bad managers, little advancement, low pay, poor work culture

They do not tell the truth
Worker (Former Employee) - Ontario - 23 February 2021
At the start, one gets promised a lot. Huge income, benefits from day one, etc...be aware, if it sounds unreal, it probably is. Dispatcher makes mistakes, supervisor provides no support and one lie follows the other. No work contract provided, that way they think they always win.
Pros
Free food
Cons
Fakes

Its a s*** show
Lead Cashier (Former Employee) - London, ON - 6 January 2021
One of the worst possible places to work . If you respect yourself, you'll trek elsewhere. They're always hiring for a reason . Don't waste your time . Bunch of fakes. Not a happy little family . You'll be a workhorse while everyone else goes on vacation . Favoritism at its finest.
Pros
50% off the deli food and cinnabon
Cons
Being treated like garbage by staff, managers, customers. Scheduling is absolutely terrible.

Always getting complaints no matter how hard you try.
Pros
no pros
Cons
You never know when you are going to have to work extra shifts

No way to get ahead
Lead Cashier-Flying J (Former Employee) - Medicine Hat, AB - 12 September 2020
The work environment between coworkers was fraught with gossip and back biting, management did not support stafff and used veiled threats of termination upon every interaction when discussing work issues.Flying J consistently works new Canadians many more hours that 44 wk and doesn’t pay overtime or very little since they do not consider that working 9-10 days in a row as breaking labour rules because they pay weekly and therefore the 10 days is in two pay periods.They do not give sick days and vacation is needed to take time off if I’ll and you want to get paid.The work environment is generally negative and I do not recommend this organization to anyone.
Pros
Few
Cons
Favouritism, threats of termination is a norm, no discounts. Overtime’s is not followed under labour act.

Worse Company to Work For!
Customer Service (Current Employee) - Greater Napanee, ON - 15 August 2020
This place needs to be investigated by corporate. Plain and simple. They tell you that you can't be at work because of corporate policy then hold it against you and count it as not showing up for shifts. General Manager needs to be replaced
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Inconsistent Hours, Favoritism, Lack of Communication

Never work here
Cashier/ deli / maintenance (Former Employee) - Greater Napanee, ON - 10 July 2020
Should be investigated. Plain & simple. Never seen or heard of so many employees going on stress leave! I had a former employee tell me before she went on stress leave “ This place will drag you down more then you know the longer you’re here” She was right!

District Manager for Calgary sets a negative tone for all in his region
Associate (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 19 June 2020
You may be a good worker but with a bully, incompetent district manager who looses high performing staff every few months, expect to be stressed and burnt out in no time.
Pros
Pay and benefits are good but that's eroded by the highly stressful environment
Cons
District manager management style very dictatorial

Challenging Fast paced environment
RSS ( Floor Manager) (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 6 June 2020
I loved working here. There was new challenges everyday. But the job is only as good as the attitude you bring to it. It certainly requires more skills and aptitude than most other jobs and you aren't compensated in like manner however it can be a very fun place to work and you are appreciated when you do your best.

Bad management
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Delta, BC - 3 June 2020
Management doesn't care about you they only care what they want. There is zero equal rights between cultures the new management is absolutely horrendous. They say they are flexible with shifts and they are not, they say great wage and benefits, there isn't. They talk down to their employees (especially ones that have been there for years). The new manager has asked afew of us why we havent quit yet

ok if your not supporting a family
Cashier (Current Employee) - Lancaster, ON - 27 February 2020
The pay is just above minimum wage. The staff form their own cliques and they do not give full time hours in the general sense. Missing work for any reason whether it be illness or children is frowned upon. However, you can make some really good friends if you know how to weed out the bad ones

Better management needed
GSL (Former Employee) - Whitecourt, AB - 15 November 2019
Liked the people however didn't get paid enough for my experience. The assistant manager had a chip on his shoulder and would delegate his duties to my shift. He had no real skills to deal with conflict with guests or staff. I was truly amazed he had retained his position after two years even with consistently creating unnecessary problems and causing good staff to leave

Good place to work
Retail Cashier (Current Employee) - Headingley, MB - 18 October 2019
Good place to work but unfair wage for workers. They pay high wage to some employees and low wages to others who deserves more and are more interested in work.

Trickster
GSL2 manager (Former Employee) - Medicine Hat, AB - 11 September 2019
Gsl/management When you apply for the job, so your training at another store, you think it’s all glory and day time shifts, but in the end you get all evening shifts, so you never get supper with your family, you work EVERY weekend when you request a weekend off you get harped on for it. So kiss your evenings and weekends goodbye. The day shift versus the night shift are just two different cliques! Managers can be traded or switched at the drop of a hat with no notice!

Fast paced and hectic
Maintenance Worker (Former Employee) - Headingley, MB - 29 August 2019
I worked as a maintenance worker and while the manager was a very friendly out going young lady. She needed some more training. Staff was found sleeping out back once. Truck used for garbage clean up was always broke. Garbage disposal was never emptied on time. Owner was a real jerk about tattoos until a maintenance worker let him know it was 2000 something and needed to get with the times. Now apparently you can show your ink freely. Some people coming through where pretty sketchy.
Pros
Discount on lunch
Cons
Not enough pay for job

Poor management
Guest Service Lead-3 (Current Employee) - Lancaster, ON - 22 August 2019
The management is horrible there. Their is so much favourable. The favours go out for dinner dates together. Turnover it crazy high for this company because of the favorites getting away with everything. This is not a company to work for. This is coming from someone that has worked for the company for 6.5 years.

lots of partiality
Do Not declare (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 12 July 2019
No people's skill
Management has no visions, you may fall in love this job in interview or by job posting article but once you finished few months you can see different.
Pros
Some time free food
Cons
minimum pay and for 40 hours you need to work 6 days. No life and work balance
