Illegal and exploitative work environment
Pros
Most of the other employees are good people
Cons
Dangerous work environment with many people getting injured on the job and being told 'not to report it' Not getting paid on time or in full Your banking information for direct deposit will go missing and will take multiple times to anyone to input it into the system - average wait time is approx. two months Long work hours standing on bare floor - water is not permitted at your station and you will get dehydrated as you are required to talk constantly about your product and it is a warm environment. You will be yelled at and kept in a constant state of fear that you will be fired for nothing No training is provided to operate any of cooking machines and people are using the trash compactor and recycling compactor without certification - employees are almost injured daily by passing forklifts Inadequate or non existent tools to properly demo items Food items are never kept at proper serving temperature as there are no items to keep food adequately cold - people often use foil to cover an ice pack and cut items on that instead of using a cutting board because they dont have supplies Disabled people are employed to utilize the Ontario disabilities employment program so they will not question dangerous practices and the company will be monetarily subsided and also not have to insure these workers. They are exploited constantly. This employer has been reported to the Employment standards association many times, You receive no discounts or any other bonuses that a COSTCO employee receives. Costco employees will treat you like a second class citizen (because you are)
