Agrifoods International Cooperative

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work and the salary as well as with Mo, the benefits once you pass the probationary period are very good, unfortunately the administrative staff not so much because they only used me and another colleague while they sent the employees who already had them to get their truck driver's license, since they were operating without it and once they obtained it, they fired us using stupid arguments that their own employees broke every day, that is, one day before completing the probationary period.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
In the winter, when the yards where the trucks are parked are not properly maintained and they are left stranded in the snow

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment itself is not bad, only some elements transfer their personal problems to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
how it was because I'm no longer there, sometimes you had to come in before your schedule and other times leave later because the unionized employees gave short notice about their late arrival or that they wouldn't come and the new ones had to be as available as possible, which was of no use when it came to saying goodbye

Early morning starts , loading of raw milk at dairy farms and unloading at plants in Victoria and mainland.
Hardest part of job is manual washing of exterior of units while unloading at plant,
Paperwork and electronic handheld computers for data entry for pickups , lots to learn, need to be certified by ministry of agriculture,  
Uniforms are supplied   decent safe equipment, 
Drivers are long term , union shop, 
bad reviews are from new drivers on probation.feeling the job out,  wanting to dictate there work schedules, ie not wanting to work certain days, its a  7day week operation,  seniority rules in the shift worked, another driver was let go that just didnt show up for 3 scheduled days in a row with no prior calls.

Agrifoods is for dedicated drivers looking for long term employment  with excellent benefits and pension.


Working in a dairy setting, these guys will literally use your body until it's spent, then find reasons to get rid of you one way or the other. Corrupt management, bi-polar and bullying supervisors, gossiping and back-stabbing co-workers. The only thing pleasant about this company are the benefits, and if you are a women you get a long weekend every weekend. Head games and power struggles are a part of the daily culture here, as is being talked to by management like you aren't a human being. Physically demanding and repetitive work, yet they'll leave you to it all day with no rotations, guaranteeing you develop injuries before long and once that happens, they'll look for every excuse, ethical or not, to get you out of there before you can file a wsib claim. If you value both your physical and mental health, steer clear of this employer.

I honestly love the job. 
I learn something new every day and even learn skills I can apply in my life outside of work.
The team of people are amazing and it is almost like a family the way we support each other.
The factory itself has bumps here and there due to old equipment but I am always amazed at how we work together with what we have to pull everything together and even work late some times with some people doing different jobs then they were assigned to just to get it all done and finish the day. An amazing workforce.
You feel cared about by the management team as well.
And any companies we do business with are always welcoming and sometimes even pitch in help even though it is not required of them.

A cheerful and upbeat corporate culture. Supportive management  and a good sense of corporate identity. My tenure coincided with the time of greatest upheaval in the company - a new C.E.O., expansion into Ontario, new product lines, all new labelling and look as well as big changes in distribution method all within one year. This combined with managing a new satellite operation in a different time zone from the main operation meant that the ground under my feet was constantly shifting. It was difficult to get a handle on where our Ontario operation fit into the big picture. Despite all of this there was fun along with the hard work.

Happy Planet Foods is a good place to learn and feel supported initially, but not ideal for those seeking career growth, recognition, or stability. I recommend here to work for mostly experienced people rather than junior or talents. 

The job it’s self is really enjoyable. ForThe most part co workers are there for each other. Pretty important job that is very under paid for driving around with no baffles in the tanker, hard in your back. 
Unfortunately I was hired to replace someone while they were hurt but I didn’t find out until the day they let me go which was within one weeks worth of hours before my probationary period would’ve been over also 3 weeks before Christmas that I was being laid off Dec 5 
Merry Christmas 🙄 


If you want to work for a company that’s top heavy with unresponsive management that won’t listen, has a lousy contract (pay for the type of work) and a useless union rep this is the place for you. 
The farmers (people that actually own the company) are great don’t get me wrong and many of the people working there are awesome individuals. 
The job itself is mind numbing as you’ll forever be driving around in tiny circles with little to no variation in your daily tasks, it’s perfect if you like monotonous repetition and you’re not looking to grow or need any mental stimulation. 

The pay and benefits are good, but the work environment is toxic. There are some really good people who work there, but multiple employees who will go out of their way to create drama with coworkers. Constantly arguments and fights between coworkers. Most employees are stubborn and want things done their way regardless of how things should be done. Everyone knows best except you and everything is everyone else's fault. Company isn't willing to invest in better equipment that would make everyone's life easier and safer. Most work hours are horrible. 

this company doesn't treat their employees right and will fire you as soon as you make even just a small mistake. They don't appreciate things you have done for them. really bad scheduling, no steady day offs, every week its different and will make you work night shift even if you mostly work day shift and it messes with employees sleep , mental health and lifestyle.
