Working here and getting to know the people has been a blast, but personally working as a cashier is not my favourite. The management isn't bad but if you want to cross train it can be difficult to find positions.

Points positifs

End of the year team member discounts

Points négatifs

Small daily discounts and possibility of miscommunications

Terrible

Cashier/Customer Service (Ancien employé) - Mississauga, ON - 9 avril 2022

Unless you get a good manager, then this job is awful. They don’t care about you or anything. They are rude and make rude remarks about there employees. Don’t recommend

Wouldn’t recommend as a long-term job

Customer Service Cashier (Employé actuel) - Mississauga, ON - 11 janvier 2022

Passive aggressive management, mundane job that has you standing in the same spot for 8 hours a day with timed 10 minute breaks. Decent for your first job, but I would not recommend working here long-term (as a cashier at least) unless you’re a high school student working in the evenings or a post-secondary student because the job’s mundane nature is very easy to balance with school.

Points positifs

Easy job Good work-school balance

Points négatifs

Measly 5% store discount Short 10 minute timed breaks

Longo's = WORST place to work - Full of Misogynist/Incompetent Managerss

Cashier/Customer Service (Ancien employé) - Brampton, ON - 23 octobre 2020

As a 4th year University student I worked part-time at Longo's for 5 months and it was the worst experience I have ever had. I am a Law major and I hope one day to use my skills to help current employees find justice against the misogynist, incompetent and "creepy" managers they have working at all their stores. I would say 90% of the stores have these "type" of Managers after speaking with other employees. What is shocking is that they are never held accountable for their actions which clearly shows this is the culture of the company and it stems from the Head Office down. The CEO should be ashamed of himself for condoning the environment he has created, as it is not a healthy, equitable and fair environment. Nothing is done to address the abusive "ego" minded treatment towards employees; you have no choice but to quit or suffer. Fortunately I was able to quit and I found another job related to my field, however, I advise anyone with any sense of self respect to never even consider working at Longo's and for the women/young girls to find the courage to fight against the misogynistic attitudes of the men who should of not only been fired years ago, but charged with abuse and harassment. NOTE: during COVID it is even worse, they don't enforce staff to wear their masks and the Manager of my store would always wear it on his chin and mock those who were concerned about the protocols.

Long hours, either super busy or super dead

Cashier/Customer Service (Ancien employé) - Ancaster, ON - 13 juillet 2020

Worked as a cashier for about half of a year. Most of the job was pretty straightforward and it was busy at peak times, especially since construction was happening in the area. The customers were some of the most entitled and rude people I have ever met, especially during the switchover to charging for plastic bags. People would throw a fit because of 20 cents of plastic bags on a 400 dollar order. My experience with my manager was pretty terrible, and the reason that I actually left the job was because I had a negative interaction with a customer despite maintaining my composure, and when she brought me into the office to talk and I explained what happened she told me that "You must have done something wrong, he is usually such a nice guy!" I understand that in front of the customer you have to act like they are not the jerk but in private I would have hoped that she would stand up for me and agree.

Great place to work if your good with people

Cashier/Customer Service (Ancien employé) - Burlington, ON - 18 novembre 2019

The work at Longos can be stressful, many costumers come through every day and not all are happy and easy to deal with you need to get things done fast in a orderly fashion while trying to make each and every customer happy. The management staff at Fairview is great and made me feel like part of the family

Not productive, no fun to work with.

CUSTOMER SERVICE / CASHIER (Ancien employé) - Toronto, ON - 7 novembre 2019

The managers were hard to deal with. They were cheap, won't pay well to their employees. Employees must work very hard, and very tiring. They kept an eye on you wherever you go in the store. As if you are a child, that even going to the washroom was hard, very strict of the time clock "sign in and out". But good benefits. They were okay to work with.

A fun first job but there are better opportunities

Customer Service Clerk/Cashier (Ancien employé) - Guelph, ON - 2 juillet 2019

A typical work shift for part time would be to come in, head to the locker room, change or prepare for your shift, head to your department and get to work. Depending on the length of your shifts you will get a break at one point and then after you just go back to work.

Points positifs

Paid 15 minute breaks

Points négatifs

Management isn't always organized, and the pay isn't as good as it should be

The environment was professional and the management was supportive and helpful when they were required to be. Great place to work while I was in school since they were flexible with hours.

Some company policies are seemingly non-sensical which somewhat limits productivity at times.

Cashier/Customer Service Representative (Employé actuel) - Mississauga, ON - 12 juillet 2018

I love working at Longos' the people are like my second family, they help me when needed and are very flexible with my hours. The only thing is i am still considered a student even though i do a full Customer service work i should be considered part time and get above minimum wage.

Interesting

Cashier/Customer Service Representative (Employé actuel) - Toronto, ON - 17 juin 2018

I find that a lot of what people have said on here is true. Management in most Longos' is very similar in terms of them being preferential and hierarchal(as in they definitely pick favourties). It is very clear that management is on a power trip. The hours can be a little bit brutal some weeks and standing for long periods of time is killer. My co-workers are awesome, friendly and helpful. All of them are willing to help whenever I have a question or I need assistance with something. Overall a good company to work for.(just depends on location, I guess) I learned a lot about customer service and how to properly and efficiently help many customers in a short time span. I also learned a lot more about multi-tasking and how to better do so, which always beneficial. Longos does withhold their motto of treating you (you as in the employee and you the customer) like family. The best part of working at Longos obviously the Starbucks discount! Also my co-workers.

Points positifs

excellent co workers/benefits

bad management/ hours are too much or not enough

Longo's Review

Cashier/Customer Service (Ancien employé) - Brampton, ON - 23 juin 2016

They do training over two weeks as part of your shifts. A typical day is consist of many hours of standing at the cash register working and maintaining a clean work space. Managers are kind and mostly flexible with shifts but punctual.
