Roots was founded by Michael Budman and Don Green, two city kids who met at summer camp in Algonquin Park, where they first fell in love with the ideals and beauty of Canada.

Starting from a little cabin, they created Roots, inspired by the experience of travelling from their city homes into the heart of Canada's wilderness.

Since our founding, we have united the best of cabin and city through unmistakable style, built with uncompromising comfort....

Sales Associate in Vaughan, ON

Perfect Workplace
Perfect workplace if you’re looking for a drama-free work environment. Everyone cares about you and everyone is easy to work with. Location can be busy during the weekends

Productive and fun place to work at.
Great people working at Heartland location. Respectful management willing to help to adjust work schedules to need of the employees. Good hours especially on weekends.

Productive/Good Incentives
Love the fact that they exercise before each shift. Diversity could be better. Peak season is very busy! It's a productive/fun place to work. One Supervisor in Receiving could do a better job managing. Overall, great place to work!
Team Lead in Oshawa, ON
on 8 May 2023
Fun associates, poor management
As a Team Lead, we are expected to do so much work with little to no guidance. Store manager and District manager are not appreciative at all. They do not provide bereavement to PT Team Leads despite being on the management team. The only benefit is the discount but it’s not worth it when you’re working only 1-2 days a week despite providing minimum 4 day’s availability.
