Work was incredibly fast, managers do not care about how much work one person is doing. Very little to no training at best yet management still expects you to work as though you know what you are doing. Machines break down multiple times per hour but the higher ups still want production to continue through it leading to chaos left right and center. Forced overtime rather often. Most of the workers are difficult to talk to. Management rarely ever seems to know what they are doing. Was technically assigned to steak line and yet I got sent to other lines more often than not leading to more confusion trying to do something new without training at regular speed. Getting hired on is super easy since they can't get people to stay for too long due to all the issues that occur, but can't say many more good things about this place aside from that. 

When I first got hired it wasn't too bad, I could handle the stress, but then after 2020 kicked off, things just got so, so much worse. I'd leave the house at 5am and I'm often not home until 5/6pm, if not later some nights. At times I was saddled with so much work I'd cry, and I'd usually get an apology, but it'd happen again and again. I'd be so exhausted at the end of some weeks I'd be swaying when I walked, my weekends were mostly used for recovering from the brutal work week. The workplace culture reminds me of high school, take what you want from that. If you value your time outside of work, and don't want physical and mental health problems in the near future, don't work here, they will work you until you drop and then look at you laying on the floor and ask you if you're still coming in tomorrow. At least we get sandwiches every Friday. 

The work place is very interesting. people there are very respectful specially the whole administration. I enjoyed working with  different diversity and I can say its one of the best work place that i ever worked with.  I  learned how to value and manage time specially during work hours, I learned to go to different routes. I did not find any difficulties in the job because I enjoyed every moment. and i can say the most enjoyable part of the job is when you can get along with everybody.

Owner and plant Management behavior is often disrespectful and unprofessional. The maintenance department lacks structure, with inexperienced supervisors and no clear systems in place. There are concerns about fairness among staff, and maintenance practices are not standardized. Facilities such as lunchrooms and washrooms are not well maintained. Pay is below industry standards.

Had an interview and then a group orientation. The orientation was straight forward, but the QA that ran it was extremely condescending and they liked to remind us that we were being overpaid (we weren't, everyone in BC knows that the minimum wage is hard to live off of especially if you have a family). To top it off I ended up declining the job and was sent my cheque for the day of orientation which I was shorted 30 minutes on. I honestly would not recommend this company to anyone no matter the pay and hours (they work you to the point of burnout).

The location is the problem to hire people.  If the salary is not fair enough, they will leave the company very fast.  
Some management part also needs to improve.  If the company needs to get the supervisor, they need to look about what her/his skills is.   This is not the owner love the person then put the person in management level but he/she has no experience.  This also let the new workers leave the company very quick 

If you have any respect for your self as a human being and not desperate for a job, just look else where. This place is the last resort. Supervisors and managers are lost due to toxic treatment from upper management mostly due to having no clue what they are doing in the industry. CEO has no people skills.

- Everyone wants to quit
- Terrible management especially the group of people called  themself executive management 
- Super negative culture
- Shame to work there
- Working condition like a jail, dirty, freezing cold, chaos...the worst place you can ever image 
- Whole bunch of rude people  

My experience with Donald's fine foods has been quite good, this was my first job in Canada, the company ignored the fact that i didnt have any canadian experience and gave me the opportunity based on my skills and education.

i would definitely recommend this place.
