Very stressful work please

Line Cook (Current Employee) - Waterloo, ON - 25 April 2022

I don't recommend anyone to work here. The manager doesn't know what's going on in the kitchen at all, he only listens to the denunciations of employees.Don’t spend your time!!!

Great place to do an internship

Communications Assistant (Former Employee) - Waterloo, ON - 8 March 2022

I had a great experience as Communications Assistant at Laurier International. I learned a lot about internal/external Communications and was given plenty of opportunities to expand my skillset in other areas like social media. The team was super welcoming and friendly and really worked to make sure myself and the other interns felt comfortable and supported.
