RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Shoppers Drug Mart full-time for less than a year
Pros
Truly enjoyed working for 10 years at SDM. Great people, perks, employee discount at SDM stores, being small size company meant family like relations between departments, approachable head management.
Cons
Since company was purchased by Loblaw in 2013 a lot of things went downhill with groups/departments being reorganized, people laid off, etc. Glorious days are over!
