Monday to Friday day shift

Beware, beware, beware!!! If anything seems too good to be true, if something doesn't add up, or if one single red flag is being raised - run for your life!!! Everybody hates working for this company and anybody who says they do is a phoney, fraud and a hypocrite! You will hate your life and you will hate your job! You will come home and take it out on your family and you will be so mentally exhausted that you won't want to be around anyone once you have down time. Sure it's Monday to Friday. It's also 8 - 5 with a half-hour lunch. You're considered salary for their convenience (no over-time!!). They would like for everyone to start at 7:30, but since you're salary, you won't get paid for it and they can't tell you to come in, but they will manipulate you to do it! Underlying threats of layoffs is their way of getting you to do what they want! They rarely fire people. They "layoff" and then hire replacements. They buy their way into the "50 best managed companies" club and yet the people they have in management have had ZERO training in the real world as to how to actually manage!! Management is a popularity contest in this company..... and if you're not popular, you will NEVER be anything more than a pee-on...... until you get your layoff notice! There's a large turnover in this company....it's not because people don't like to work.....it's because Canada isn't a communist country.....but Gregg's is!! This is anything but a career, you will never in your professional or personal life ever feel so mistreated, used, overworked, underpaid, gossiped about, backstabbed, etc... and there isn't a single person you can go to for any support or assistance. If you do ever go to anybody for anything they will twist and distort it. You will never live through so much backstabbing, lying, manipulation. You will be pushed and provoked, you will have work thrown at you literally, and you will be mocked and ridiculed. If anybody reading this thinks this is an individual having a bad day, not in the least, just somebody who's lived it and it cautioning anybody who is needing and wanting a job and will do just about anything to get one.... this is not it!!! If you have any self worth, dignity or respect you will not apply for or accept a job at this Godforsaken place!!!

Pros
I don't usually go on to these types of sites and now I know why..... I find it hard to believe that people can be so quick to forget about all the reasons why they want to work here and just vent about things that are only meant to keep us "adults" accountable to our peers and our job. Who remembers the bonus we they get every 3 months, pretty nice? What about the 50th anniversary bonus where staff members across the entire company received a very lucrative "Thank You!" for their their loyal service. All of the opportunities that the company offers us to earn additional days off by just putting in a solid effort each day. It's so obvious that those of you who choose to post all of this negative feedback will just not be happy anywhere. There simply is not a better "culture" to be a part of and work for than what we have here. It is also apparent that those of you who are past employees who feel the need to spew this negativity in this this anonymous forum realize what you had and miss the people, and the structure that has built this company into one of "Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies" year after year after year. This is the company that I want to spend my entire career with. What it has to offer for my family is truly amazing. I know hard work, a solid effort, and being a positive person will help me further my career here and that is just what I plan on doing. My family deserves it!
Cons
None.... this is an amazing company to work for!
