Village Juicery Job security & advancement reviews

'Trial shift' is what I was first offered with. I ended up taking the job and never seen the gift card that was supposed to be my compensation for the time I worked.

Negative work experience

Customer Service (Former Employee) - Etobicoke, ON - 8 March 2023

Company does not care about employees. Management can be unprofessional many times. Was not a good work experience. I would not recommend this company at all.

Flexible part-time job

In-store nutritionist (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 13 December 2022

Fun team, but with minimal career progression. I was studying full-time so the location and flexibility were convenient for me. One staff drink per shift (juice or kombucha).

Fun at work and more response in active work place

Area Supervisor (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 6 October 2022

It was great when I got in. I was happy to get along with everybody. But in the long process, this place is working nice. My manager gave me a nice treat all the time. And I always been taught by my colleagues and always helping me. Leaving the work so soon after I got promoted, I got to teach and mentor some of my members and eventually they found success. A great place to start where you can use your excellence and skills you have in the work place.

Great environment and team. Pay increases are almost not a thing

Production Team Member (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 20 March 2022

Have been with the company for many years. Is a great environment and lots of amazing people. Is a great team to be apart of. Leader/Managers are very kind and helpful. There's always extra juice to take home. If your willing to put in the effort there's always oppturintiy to become a team lead but most don't want to due to the little to no raisesIf the wage increase was actually competitive and mean something would be ideal place to work at. But after being here for multiple years only real increase I got was when I had to beg. Higher ups that are IN charge of pay increase need to understand that this selfishness deeply affects their employees and their image. I real hope they wake up and appreciate the efforts of their employees as it is a great place to work for. I just want everyone to be paid fairly and be with them long term.

Pros

People, Environment, Free Product, station gets easier every day.

Cons

Pay increases only happen once a year and is a few cents

Modern day slavery

Store Associate (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 29 October 2021

Horrible place to work for. They should be ashamed of how little they pay their workers. They take pride in expanding their stores, at the cost of slaving away their employees. Every employee throughout the company does the job of several people, from marketing to product development to the staff at the stores. You have to practically beg for a raise, and if it miraculously doesn’t get refused, they’ll only raise your wage by cents. Awful, awful, awful place to work. Don’t even consider it.

Pros

Absolutely nothing

Cons

Long hours, don’t get all the tips which go to management, low pay, too many responsibilities, uncaring company

Avoid at all costs

Customer Service Associate (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 24 May 2021

DO NOT trust the positive reviews. Management does not care about you. You basically have to do the job of 2-3 people and are paid minimum wage DURING A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC. Its exhausting and its not worth the small amount of money and a juice you end up going home with. Management will do anyting to not pay you what you deserve like giving you free juice instead of giving you a raise or even giving you your tips you EARNED.. i felt exploited, used and not cared for

Cons

long hours, Low pay, management is disorganized

Student/part time only job

Distribution Associate (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 1 November 2020

This job was easy at first then more work came with no salaries increases even after being with the company for 2 years. Not for anyone serious, student or quick part time work. Management is overwhelmed and disorganized. Lot of promises from up top with little actions taken. Longer days, earlier start times and in efficient route planning.

Pros

easy work at times, free juice, relaxed work environment

Cons

job security, frustrating management, inefficient repetitive work

Cons

no job security

A Mess

Production Worker (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 October 2019

A workplace characterized by negligence and laziness (not really fault of staff, but higher up’s failure to address long standing issues with how production facility is run) Will try to sell you on positivity, teamwork, room to grow. but don’t be fooled. Turning a blind eye is how most issues get handled here. Lack of experienced managers/leaders puts unnecessary strain on workers. HR will hire literally anybody, with a preference for those with no relevant work experience whatsoever, which means veteran employees get stuck holding the hands of people on their team with no idea what they’re doing. The pay is pitiful for the kind of work that will be asked of you. You cannot make a living wage here. Environment is dirty and disorganized (if you’re looking for a career in food industry you will be extremely disappointed and uncomfortable with the conditions) Food safety/quality control is practically non existent. If you have issues with pay, hours or internal conflict it is often handled so poorly/ unprofessionally. If you’re young with not much job experience or a student just looking for some cash on the side go for it, otherwise there are more professional places that will treat you better.

Not worth it

Production Worker (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 20 January 2019

Would not recommend to anyone looking for a job. I was first invited to a job trial for the production associate position and was the worst decision I ever made. They have high expectations and extensive workload for employee with low pay.

Pros

None

Cons

Workload
