Liquor Plus

My personal experience has been very positive. It's refreshing to arrive at work each day knowing that we can take a moment to greet each other, chat about current events, share book recommendations, or discuss the latest recipe we tried. The overall culture does seem to vary by location, and it would be great to see more consistency across the board. Management, from top to bottom, sometimes displays inconsistencies and uncertainty. However, the HR department has made significant strides in bringing positive changes to management practices and being a strong advocate for all team members. One common issue across the company is the lack of recognition and praise. While praise does occur, recognizing even the small accomplishments and reinforcing each employee's value can go a long way.

Overall, it's a fantastic company with wonderful people and great opportunities!

Honestly, it was tiring at first, and hard on my feet standing all day, but then I got used to doing my basic tasks.  The other staff took it pretty easy but kept telling me to 'do everything faster'!  I was basically doing cash, and then I would be ordered to do this and that and was given more areas to cover.  The other staff were in a 'we have more experience clique' and I took it seriously but they fired me and said I was responsible for basically doing everything in the whole store!  You get ordered around if you're good, but then they pile more work on you.  The biggest store in Canada but not enough staff during busy times and one of the supervisors and other staff were 2 faced and cried to the manager!  The manager who let me go said I had a great attitude and I was reliable but I was let go!  Do not work there if you can't 'multitask'!  No downtime ever and only 30 mins break.  Hectic.

Its a family run business and they treat you like their own family :)
Its has a well laid out operations and its super easy to learn. The management is very supportive and will invest in you. Has the best HR personnel who supports the team members and offers the best perks and benefits.
There is a training coordinator who trains every new employee and has well laid SOP's  for every Job which makes the work place very safe and fun for everyone.
The operations manager truly understands the way the business operates and has made the operations very effective and efficient for each store. 
This job will definitely groom you positively and there is a lot of room to grow internally :) 


Unless you are management you will be just a number. Just another staff member who is easily replaced. There are always job openings at LP+ stores because of such massively high turnover.  Pay is at the bottom end of the range, though not the absolute lowest, for liquor retail. Depending on the store the management can be good, or rather cold. Very little autonomy between stores, most product is dictated by head office. Good job for a student working part time, someone just starting out in liquor retail, or something to tide you over until you find something else.

Management gets treated like gold by head honchos, but everyone else is replaceable. As is often the case with the big chain stores, like LP+, Liquor Express, and Liquor Depot.

Well where to start? The wage is okay, but not for what you have to put up with. Even though I had my smart serve and I followed it to the letter often I found myself in some sort of jeopardizing situation and the customer always came out on top. It was okay to serve drunk customers as long as they were happy and well-known regulars. But me I would refuse because I knew the rules and I never received any support from my management. There were quite a few customers who were upset with my to the letter policy and because they were regulars I was thrown under the bus and fired so please I encourage everyone to avoid this place like the plague both from a customer and employee perspective.

Staff treated like garbage. Pushed too hard for way too little pay. This isn’t just a simple cashier job. There is constant heavy lifting and stocking, lots of running back and forth and if you’ve done you’re job ‘right’ you’ll be in physical pain by the end of your shift.  Often treated terribly by drunk customers that you refuse service too. Have been sworn at, spit on and threatened by customers. Owners/Head office doesn’t even acknowledge us lowly employees when they pop in for a visit, only speaks to management. 

This job started out great. Friendly staff, easy going management. 
Once you are in & in for the long haul, it’s no longer a great place to work. The staff is 2 faced, the manager only thinks about herself. We are constantly understaffed with huge expectations. Large orders that are expected to be finished immediately but not given appropriate coverage. There is ZERO communication between the manager and staff members, you constantly have to reaching out to her to find out what is going on.
If you don’t “click” with the favourite staff members of the manager then you are let go. 
It is an extremely toxic environment to work in. 

every employee is treated different based on the managers opinion of you personally and not work ethic or performance. in my experience i needed time off for health reasons and was fired 3 hours before my shift because that “wasn’t working for the company” while one of the favourites didn’t show show up or contact anyone for 2 weeks and was able to keep their job.  along with being fired i didn’t receive my full weeks compensation when i worked full time, and only received 3 days 

There’s plenty of opportunities to share your ideas and have them heard at liquor plus. The team is truly a team, friendly and helpful right from the beginning. The benefits are great, extended health, 20% discount, health and wellness benefit, and monthly team member giveaways. Liquor plus is putting a lot of resources into making employees happy and valued. It’s also an island owned company, so it feels good to support local! 

Manager was awful and drove people to quit. Culture was abysmal and people were chastised for having fun. Never fully staffed, and people were able to call in without consequences. Lots of easy solutions to the numerous problems presented, but no one in management cared to listen. No real sense of authority, and the store was essentially run by the supervisors and a few competent clerks. A change in management all the way up to head office would improve the store and the company significantly.
