Bakemark

I worked for this company for several years and honestly they suck. management is horrible and they do not appreciate anyone nor do they support teamwork, personal growth or anything a regular employee is looking for. Everyone is unhappy there and Bakemark uses and abuses their staff. Management is severely under trained and have the do as I say attitudes then blame you for doing it wrong even though you did it with their instructions. They hire staff that have no experience because they can get them for cheap and in their eyes they are disposable. They make up policys and don't tell anyone about them, then you get written up for not following them. They write you up for something then do the exact same thing you did. The corporate management is basically people who are friends of the higher ups. They have no skills and will blame everyone else for their issues as long as their butt is covered they don't care. word of advice just keep looking this is not a good environment to work in.

Bakemark is an old company with an old system and horrible organizational structure. If you want a blue collar job, you will be protected under union law but if you are a white collar, do expect long hour working time without OT pay and no instructions at all. The managers always worry about sales and numbers, they don’t even treat you as a real person and expect you to stay more than 8 hours ( they will tell that to your face). Turn over rate is high and new people is coming everyweek. The salary might sound tempting but working 12 hours/ day, you might end up earning less than other general workers do

Unionized workers are too spoiled in this place, they can do whatever they want and screw the whole business without any punishment. People in the office will take the heat.

Plainly put this is the worst company I have ever worked for. I was a driver with them for 9 months 7 of which mass disorganization and shorts from the warehouse caused havoc on my route. In the end they let me go so that it would just cover the warehouse manager and GM of Alberta's butts. I asked our GM and Warehouse manager that when they build the trucks to board the skids and strap it so that product does not shift and get damaged their response was NO that isn't our job. They will steal from other peoples orders in the event of shorts, mass sales errors, pick errors, in short don't ever expect your full order. Not a place where your co-workers "have your back" ...well maybe when they put the knife in it.

Overall, my time at Bakemark has been a positive one. Recent staffing changes, with management being proactive in weeding out bad apples, have made for a much more harmonious, enjoyable work environment. Good support from management when needed, and a good team of people working toward continually improving the operation. It's a union workplace, with above average wages and great benefits, so job security and stability are a cut above many other warehouse operations.

It was a busy work environment dealing with all functions related to Accounts Payable.  This is the first permanent job in Canada when i came in 1998.   It was a challenging job dealing with external vendors.  I believed i had exceeded what the management expected of me.  The most rewarding part was when the General Manager and Financial Manager gave me a one week vacation with pay for a job well done.

Being a corporate company with Head Office in British Columbia I did not have direct dealings with upper management. Position held answered to a District Manager

Typical day at work was to ensure that all customer needs were met with the care and attention
Although somedays it was difficult to deal with customers that did not speak english and trying to decide what the best options would be to fit the needs

What is the best part of working at the company?
The start and end hours are great. That’s it. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Micro managing seems to be a big issue there 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If they don’t like you it will seem like you are being squeezed out

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Can be very busy or dead quiet. Heavy duty lifting.

Not enough labour, Overtime REQUIRED pathetic management, SUPER UNSAFE ACTS AND CONDITONS! Docks are over crowded and dont have any safety feature like dock locks or even wheel chocks fors trucks, wont recommend unless you want a unsafe work culture, workload to the roof.

Was employed in Winnipeg for a year,seems to be a revolving door of employees.go through supervisors,drivers and warehouse staff regularly.current drivers are lazy and complainers.heavy workload with little to no gratification.not even a Xmas thank you card.management is non existent and unqualified..just stay away.

It was a challenging position that required a lot of hours but I didn't mind putting in the time. I really enjoyed traveling around and visiting  and developing relationships with the customers.
The management and staff worked closely together and we all got along great.
