Amazing life changing work

Great Organization

Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - London, ON - 10 January 2022

Saint Vincent de Paul does wonderful things for the community. At the stores they are a very nice group of people to work with. At some points during the day it can get very busy, but other times it can be extremely slow and you're looking for things to do.

Pros

Friendly staff

Cons

Unorganized

Do not work here

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 31 January 2020

The managers are so rude and do not do any work but sit in the back and get mad at you. Hope you know every cash system ever because after they show you one day you're on your own. Don't even plan to do anything with your life because even with notice they'll schedule you. Most asst managers get mad if you need they're help to much. A negative place to work since managment is horrific. Employees are nice

Outgoing, and Great Workplace

Organizer Volunteer (Former Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 30 January 2018

Great place to volunteer at. Fun and outgoing place. i learned that you have to be fast at organizing clothing and etc. culture is pure. hardest part was running around and being crowed at times. not all times. i enjoy organizing so putting away clothes and hanging up wear was fun to me.
