Loblaw Companies Reviews

Pros

nice work environment working in retail.

Cons

low salary compared to other companies.

Pros

Company care about well being of an employee

Cons

Management seems to be bit political.

Pros

You will start at 14.25 base and after hundreds of hours of work you will be maxed out at $15. This job has a lot of pressure but good coworkers no opportunity for growth in career or salary. They do not take employee complaints seriously and only offer a 10% discount on store items.Overall do not work here unless you are in highschool and just want extra cash flow before post secondary or unless you absolutely have to.

Cons

See above comments entered in Pros Column. I have to enter a minimum of 15 words here.

Pros

The working atmosphere is very good.

Cons

Need to be careful all the time as we deal with warehouses.

Pros

- Part-time assemblers at this warehouse can basically set their own schedule from week-to-week - Pay is quite good given the low-skill nature of the work - Clean, spacious, well-maintained lunchroom - Clean, well-maintained bathrooms - Management is quite tolerant if you need to show up late or if you are sick

Cons

- Part-time employees typically don't have access to the best headsets, which may make performing the job more annoying/difficult - There is a culture of disrespect for following certain SOPs, which management doesn't seem able to control. This includes things like assemblers not performing safety checks on machinery, not showing adequate care for how they handle machinery, not picking boxes in a safe manner, taking too much time for breaks, etc. This culture may be fostered, at least in part, by the provincial labor code, which forces management to recognize and bargain with employee unions, and which thereby gives the union an unfair leverage over management. - You are forced to pay union dues, again because of labor laws

Pros

The coworkers were fantastic, and the job was rewarding and fun. If you work hard and show you care, you will have a good time.

Cons

Upper management was hypocritical about COVID precautions (espousing mask-use and social distancing while generally not adhering to the same rules)

Pros

Great job if you are a flexible independant person

Cons

Shift work, not recommended for everyone

Pros

The work itself is fine if you like tedious, repetitive work, or heavy work or to be constantly moved to where you are needed, even mid-task, and be called in every single day you have off. If you are good doing what people tell you, regardless of the task, you may fit in.

Cons

You will be working for the work of three, at near minimum wage, if not actual minimum wage. They will try count every minute you are actually working, anyone who doesn't work as fast as their personal requirement will be punished in one way or another. Hour cuts, verbal abuse, having breaks taken away, or forced to work during a personal crisis. The turnover rate is insane, and hardly any one shows up for their shift. Not good for anyone with mental or physical disabilities, or second job.
