Freybe Gourmet Foods

I got my first real job over a decade ago with Freybe at the Aldergrove plant, it was a great job to have while in school and I spent about a year and a half there. I left to work in a trade, but it didn't pan out for me, I came back and worked full time for another year and a half until the distribution department was reorganized and I decided to find another job doing what I was doing at Freybe. Another year and a half went by and I found myself working with the sales office as a driver where I was for three more years while I had another job on the go. I worked for FGF 3 different times and would go back again, great company and people to work with. 

Freybe is a great place to work, however I was only in the side of "seasonal" employees. That made advancement very difficult. Some people have been there long enough to build a career out of their position, but that was not very common while I was there. It was a fun work environment, had great hours, and the managers were pretty lenient about time off in my department. 

I would definitely go back if I needed a temporary job, and will probably send my kids there in the summer to work once old enough.

Typical day at work involved start-up meets to coordinate work duties and tasks. Work was mainly done individually. Occasional worked as a team if a job required it.

Trained in WHIMIS, HAACP yearly.

Management was changing due to company being sold to Prime Brands group. Several lay offs had occurred. Union had just been voted in in \November of 2013.

Coworkers were very pleasant for the main.

Lots of heavy lifting, using high pressure hosed and strong chemicals.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good culture, Strong teamwork, Open top management.....the best place I have been working for

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Work life balance...no stress at all

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly and collaboration. All staff is helpful

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Daily operation...fully fill the day but manageable

nice and friendly workers can move up quickly if, you're a hard worker but, as a casual you do not get any benefits so no medical coverage at all. Company has one of the best lunchrooms I have every worked for. They had a huge kitchen with an room for computer access for everyone, patio to go out on when nice out and snacks always prepared for everyone and for every break.

Working for Freybe is great.  They are a very family first company.  I learned a lot about the packaging aspect of the manufacturing industry.  I also learnt management skills as  I was in charge of a small crew.  I also had to do time management and coordination with other crews,

Worked here and enjoyed my time in the beginning then some things changed (ie. got bought out by a publicly traded company) and so the way of doing things really changed. It really became how to make shareholders happy and not about what was good for the business. The people that work there were fun and nice  

A typical day was stressful, difficult and sometimes boring.  Management changed constantly.  Co-workers could be fun, but stressed.
Hardest part was waiting for things to happen.  Most enjoyable, going home.

It was basically cutting and preparing vegetables to be pickled. The women i worked with were great we always had fun and enjoyed our job. The hardest part was the brinning you have to move quick. But all in all it was a great job..... Ovcerall a great place to work

The pay was good considering the work and the level of expertise required. The corporate culture was decent, except for some harassment and related issues... The work atmosphere wasn't so great, but that is to be expected from a deli factory.
