Employee (Employé actuel) – Delta, BC – 7 novembre 2019
High school mentality. Incompetent supervisors. All they care about is numbers and speed. In all departments except production line, you can Take breaks as long as you can get away with. First break 15 mins and I've seen people go for a hour. Again because supervisors are useless. However if your late for a call like maintenance, setup, or mixing batches for the line they'll; come down on you hard. Even if other people sabotage you supervisors don't care and look for scapegoats.
Got to learn new things each day. Management is excellent. Workplace healthy and pleasant environment. Many perks and benefits to employees. Got to eat variety of cakes each new day.
No social life, rotational shifts, not worth it for what we get paid for, too stressful job and too much work pressure, good money, good job security since the company is unionized
I will begin with what is good about the company which sadly does not outweigh the negative aspects of working there.
Throughout my employment the Employee Experience/ Human Resources people have always treated me fairly. They try to create a family atmosphere that extends down to the production floor. Despite their efforts, it does not translate to a positive team environment because of the negative attitudes from within. There are some great people who work there who are being alienated by the toxic behaviour of individuals that are unhappy about their working conditions. Specifically in the mixing department, the majority of the longterm employees has resulted into sabotaging recently hired employees to prove their worth. Supervisors are aware of this problem yet maintain to turn a blind eye in fear of losing anymore trained people. They are desperate to hire new mixers instead of dealing with the bigger problem which is well within their control.
I have compassion for the new people hired into the company that have to deal with these preexisting conditions and send my best wishes to the good people who I have met. My message to them is to stay strong and take care.

As per my experience from work, I have seen lots of people from different countries and I can say that it really is easier to work with a workplace where you can easily understand your colleagues and you get along with them.
Casual Production Employee (Ancien employé) – Delta, BC – 26 novembre 2018
Worst place to ever work! Terrible starting hours, mean line leads, cranky co-workers and everything is all about speed. Nobody cares about anyone, it’s all about the cakes!! 12+ years later after a work injury (I was treated like garbage by the Health & Safety Mgr) and I still suffer from my work injury because the line lead wouldn’t move me even though I was crying in pain.
I worked for this Company for a couple of years. In my entire career this was the worst job. Management is clueless and completely incompetent, cannot make a decision, and anything decided one day is completely changed the next.
So much disorganized people and not to mention people filling positions that have no experience in the field of work they were put in. Promotions go to the wrong people because they will play ball with management.
Production Supervisors are totally incompetent and unprofessional; they have not any education or any technical experience, no people skills, lack in training for their product.
Supervisor is only focus at their fast production, human resource is not visible. No employee employer relationship, no worker rights in there. All employees are treated like machines. All they care about is numbers and production.
Unrealistic expectations on Company growth and vision.
Very old systems and very old machineries, costly, time inefficient, reactive maintenance.
Morale and job satisfaction are very low.
The union is very weak. It is playing on both sides but mostly on Company favor.
Don't seek employment with this company if you are looking for a long-term employment in cordial working environment.
Points positifs
Nice co-workers
Points négatifs
Management is clueless and completely incompetent.
We work 10.5 hours with a 1/2 lunch, we make various types of cake. The management is very friendly and inclusive with everyone. The work culture is fairly good. The hardest part of the job is the scattered start times, and not having a fixed schedule. Feeling a part of a team and being somewhat of a family.
