Pomme Natural Market Employee Review

Horrendous management

Produce Associate (Current Employee) - Port Coquitlam, BC - 14 November 2022

Department managers expect you to do all the work for them while they sit back and do nothing. They are supported by higher management who never seems to deal out consequences. Store manager is never present and just relies on others to support the store. Loss of sales always comes out on lower employees. Overall horrible place to work.

Pros

Free coffee

Cons

Horrible management

The co workers were good helped me a lot but the assistant manager was a royal pain to deal with . He wants everything to be perfect and really will mentally disturb you

Grocery department: Repetitive tasks, but fun workplace and nice coworkers

Grocery clerk (Former Employee) - Port Coquitlam, BC - 4 September 2020

As a grocery clerk, you receive shipments, go through invoices and organize products onto carts to be put into the store or in backstock (extra stuff) to be put out on a later date. Shift tasks are very repetitive and mostly consist of putting products onto a cart from shipments or backstock to be put away in the store. On closing shifts, you spend the last few hours facing products in every isle and coolers. Occasional duties like cooler, fridge and freezer restock or organization are assigned to someone. Most boxes are very heavy and in hard to reach areas. A very tall ladder is used to get backstock products from high shelves and it can be kinda scary. Management in the grocery department was very nice and good with scheduling or requesting time off. Management in other departments were knowledgeable and offered help if needed. I learned a lot about nutrition and the various plant based options that are offered in the store. I really appreciated the fact they had recycling, garbage, food waste and plastic disposal areas.

Pros

Local company, Free coffee and tea, Often had product demonstrations and you can try all of the foods, You get one 30min and two 15min breaks every shift, Always working with multiple employees.

Cons

Very repetitive tasks, heavy lifting and climbing, The paperwork is sometomes confusing, Managment gets visibly stressed

Great environment

Customer Service (Former Employee) - Port Coquitlam, BC - 9 January 2020

Working at Pomme was a great! The other co-workers are all easy to get along with, and the work is what you sign yourself up for. The management team, as well as the owners are very great to get along with, and are always approachable when you need them. Everyone is friendly, especially the regular customers that you'll get to know. I felt like this job was an excellent stepping stone and helped me with my professional development.
