Greens pop shop

Got the job supervisor loved me in the interview and she was kinda being quiet and stingy almost. Started working and the people were great and helpful and was starting to enjoy it. Worked with the manager for half a shift and she didn’t really say anything or was near me. My next shift I came in and everyone looked at me funny. A good guy I was working with said that we needed to talk, apparently the manager I barely saw “didn’t like my work ethic or me in general” but this guy stuck his neck out for me saying that I was really good at what I was doing and really tried to tell them they were making a bad decision. Anyway they said they’d talk about it and let me know. So I was sent home and they called the next day saying I was let go. Really appreciated the security after I just joined the team and left my other job. Leaving me with nothing. Everyone else was great but apparently this manager has a type and if you’re not it she’s awful. It’s also a super awful area and neighbourhood to work in did not feel very safe at all. Also advertised for the wrong hours when I applied. A girl I never met just dropped her shirt off and left saying she quit.

The owner will advertise a Cashier position at Savers, a fairly safe store in a good area. Guess where you’re going though at the last minute? Greens Pop Shop North!

I hope you didn’t accept a job here because you’re going to regret it. 

On every day you have off, they will call you in. I can’t imagine why they have to do this, beyond their inability to schedule and manage people properly but if I have to be honest, I can hardly blame employees not showing at all, causing that problem. Employees are treated incredibly poorly, asked to do incredibly long shifts without any knowledge beforehand, asked to be security guards and potentially risk their life over bags of Oreos because management refuses to hire security, and asked to tolerate being fired for the most ridiculous reasons.

Just cut your losses. Until things start improving, I’d stay away and I don’t see things ever improving.

Walk throw the front door, already to work with my greens shirt on and I go to the back and put my jacket on the hoot and then bring my bag to the last shelf underneath the till, then I would walk beside the fridge and write my name and date of the day on the sheet and then I would stand behind the till to wait for a customer or walk around the store to check of everything looks nice and ready to sell on my shift than I would wait until 4 to do the list of things that need to be done inside the store. I learned how to become flexible in the work place. The hardest thing is trying to stand still for an moment and what I thought the easiest thing was Cleaning the whole store and being in the freezers.

I come to work 30 mintues early, I start by clocking in. I right away figure out what needs to be done. I then start to clean or re-load things that are empty. I then go be hind the counter and help out costumers that are in line. I then go back to seeing what needs to be done. I then start looking around writing down a list of what I need to re-load and stock up on. I then start to clean if its messy and stay behind till when needed. that's the extent to my day I watch over and train if I have new people, and I also just make sure the day goes smooth.

I liked working at greens pop shop, because I enjoyed greeting the customers. the duties were fairly easy. but i didn't enjoy have to pay for meals i had to bring my own and eat in a dirty area. my hours were from 4-12 and i had to bring a vehicle to work even though i live a few blocks away because it is a late hour and in a unsafe community.

the customers and general staff are amazing. the management and general feel of the place is dirty and cheap. They don't treat their staff with respect or fairly. Expected to go above and beyond in situations undesirable.

Other people take credit for the work that you have accomplished. Lack of communication between management and staff is stressful.. what is good for one staff member does not apply to the other. Work in general is very routinely mundane.

It was a comfortable environment and was enjoyable because I could use my creative and work independently. The pay was commission so it was hard working there.

Loved the location, customers, and employees and management
Day shift were steady
Learned how to process Western union payments sending and recieving payments. Trained other staff

I really liked the pay, so long as you were punctual you got an extra dollar an hour on your cheque. I also really liked my co workers and the atmosphere. We had a lot of fun and it was interesting work, surprisingly.
