THE MARKET ON YATES

there are a lot of people you interact with in a day, it's fast paced and you have to maintain focus while being quick and efficient while maintaining friendly and approachable and having positive interactions with customers and coworkers all at once. The workplace is willing to be understanding and willing to adapt to most peoples schedules whether that includes other jobs, schooling or family needs. The hardest part of the job is the turnover rate and how a lot of times were are faced with being overworked because there aren't any more employees to fill the shifts.

I was usually responsible for making around 70+ custom sandwiches in the morning from 7 or 9am until around 11:30am.
After that I would come back to the deli and start making products to sell while serving customers.
There was a sheet of paper that listed all of the employees' duties for the day, and we had to finish those duties by the end of the day.
I learned about how to prepare chickens, pizza, dips, and all sorts of salads.
The management were always very kind, and considerate of all my needs. 
Having to wake up early was the hardest part for me.
But the best part was when I finish the food I'm making, and it looks perfect. It also sweet to see people pick up the food you made. I liked to explain more about it to them.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You'll be given a lot of responsibility if you prove yourself capable.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The undesirable element located nearby.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hard work is acknowledged and rewarded on the regular. Some people are regardless favoured more than others. Basically zero opportunity for advancement past a certain level.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meet with vendor reps. Write orders. Receive orders. Work stock.

The job itself as a cashier was mundane and easy, but the hostility between management and staff was palpable and toxic.  Constantly understaffed with a high turnover rate, which management refused to take as an indicator that perhaps their methods of operation were not motivating employees to be stay (refusal for requested time off in advance, refusal to allow for sick days and forcing staff to go to a doctor and pay for a note).  Blamed the staff instead and became more strict with new policies and no raises.

Not a bad place to work. Shift work, including at least a night shift per week is required. Good people, raises are based on performance and were quite fair in my opinion.

Being in a downtown location there can sometimes be some difficult customers.

Overall, significantly better than working a job such as a fast food restaurant (by absolute MILES).

the majority of the management don't respect a single boundary employees make be it for schedules are medical accommodations.  they also have a habit of covering up SA allegtions, as well as other questionable ethics. dont expect them to have your back in anything

The market on yates is one of the worst places I've ever worked the management is unorganized,toxic and often disregards the requests of staff, the employee turnover is incredibly high at one point we hired three people who all quit within a month due to how bad the management was

one of my best jobs they are good to all their employees and the management is amazing as long as you are a hard working good employee they have bonuses and because they are not a huge corporate run company you are always treated with respect and good to your family

I learned some valuable skills from my work experience there. I was able to learn what tasks were needed to work in a grocery store.  I believe I can be a positive employee to any new grocery store I join in the future.

The store has an old 'factory' feel to it and is quite dirty. The management is disorganized and requires many reminders of requested days off. And the security needs improvement.
