Although the pay is very good most of the management team is rude and talk down to other staff and make clear examples of power pushing. They pressure you and rush you to the point where it can be unsafe to work. Starting equipment while your hand is in it fixing something or clearing jams. You cannot get a clear answer and even when they give you an answer for something they come give you trouble for what they told you as another management team member didn’t agree with what they said, somehow that’s your fault. Management gets caught making a mistake causing downtime and when it’s reported that they made that mistake another higher up will change the report to put blame on the workers. Which some workers in those instances weren’t even present. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of Refresco is the people you work with on the floor! Management however, could use a complete overhaul. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the people in management. Very last minute with all communication,  also using bully tactics to get tasks done.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The people who work together in production are great people! Very diverse work force and everyone gets along for the most part and works together as a team.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on what machine your working on will determine what your day looks like. Lots of different things to do.

Hard work and commitment doesn't mean anything if you are disliked by management. You are under the bus before you even know it, instead of getting support from the management, if there is a blowback from a decision that you made together with your boss. Unfortunately, I wasted my time there. If you are desperate for a paycheck, take the offer but look for another job and LEAVE the moment you find another job. If you are not desperate, wait for another opportunity to come your way. This is my suggestion based on my experience.

Hr department too busy in BS meeting to help employies out when they have an issue.

HR judge jury and exicutioner without hearing your case and has been bias about the situation from day one.

some co workers will help ya out others will take advantage of any situation to have you do there work for them.

Hr department is more concerned with there own time off and meeting outside of location to deal with thing in house in a timely fashion.

Hot warehoues in summer and cold in Winter , bad heating and air exchange to make enviroment more comefortable for Warehouse workers.

Management’s ability to properly provide leadership and a workplace environment that is rewarding and purposeful is questionable. The management team that oversees the plant is negligent and incompetent which contributes to a work culture that can be summed up in one word “DEMORALIZING.”
Management at all levels starting from the top lacks the basic abilities that leaders should demonstrate and thus fails to comprehend any real solutions to problems that should be sustainable and corrective moving forward (common sense). The plant manager’s leadership has festered into a work environment that is mentally draining.


The place is clean and organized, almost all managers were replaced in the last year... for the better. Pace is very fast and not for everyone. Not a lot of overtime anymore unfortunately. Wages and benefits are very competitive when you compare them with other places in the city.
No place is perfect but I enjoy working here, I invited a lot of people to come to work here, some are here now.

Very busy and fast pace.

I learned to juggle a lot and at the same time a multitude of tasks.

Cott Beverages a publicly owned company always made sure the managers and it's employees were safety conscious and processes were  "SOX" compliant.

Co workers were all professional yet fun to work with. 

Time lines when juggling a lot of different projects and at times different departments

All the above

The Management are so rude unprofessional and selfish 
They donot care about the employee.
I donot know why the HR not doing their job when they see so many employee leaving their jobs and quitting there jobs 
Human resources need to visit and investigate why so many people leaving the company .
Managers need to be fired and new faces should be hired .
Every one leaving the company and  only people staying are the management.




I worked there as a Syrup Maker.  The manager was an abusive bully who constantly harassed us. The human resources department did nothing I worked with several crazy idiots who made the workplace environment intolerable.  

It is not a place I would recommend to anyone who wants to keep their sanity.  It is a terrible place to work with a very toxic work culture.

Great people to work alongside of. Typical 8-hour shifts with a rotating schedule of mornings/afternoons/nights. The work isn't labourous so you're not exhausted at the end of the shift. Opportunities for overtime, but they generally go to the more senior guys.

No air condition and bad ventilation makes summertime heatwaves difficult to deal with
