BURNABY LAKE GREENHOUSES

As a driver, having good people in management means working with supervisors who respect and support you. They provide clear instructions, fair schedules, and understand the challenges of being on the road. Instead of micromanaging or adding unnecessary pressure, they work with you to solve problems, making the job less stressful.

Helpful and friendly fellow drivers create a strong team environment. Whether it’s sharing route tips, helping with breakdowns, or just offering advice, knowing you have colleagues who’ve got your back makes a big difference.

A good work-life balance means having reasonable driving hours, proper rest periods, and enough time at home. It ensures drivers aren’t overworked or constantly stressed about unrealistic deadlines. When management values your well-being, you stay safer, more focused, and motivated.

Overall, a supportive workplace with good management, helpful colleagues, and a fair schedule makes driving a more enjoyable and sustainable career.

Early morning start-7:30.  Some times putting in 10-12 hour shifts.
Lots of lifting, working with soil and water, so dirty.
The hardest part of the job is during the summer, under the glass roof(very hot).
The best part is the coworkers, and the ability to buy plants at a reduced rate, or get them free if there is leftover stock.
Management could be better. Family business.

I was hired then told id be let go because they were rehiring a past employee after 2 weeks without notice at the end of the shift and all while under the impression the job was set and permant for me. The supervisor was very abrasive at times and atmosphere was uncomfortable and tense. I wouldn't reccomened it as I had just moved to a new city and needed a job and was let go abruptly and left jobless.

It was an ok place to work.  Only problem is, as a former Driver, I never did get a single raise in 10 years.  The equipment is at least maintained, but, grubby.  They have no wash policy.  I believe they are behind the industry curve with pay structure & benefits.   I should also add, they operate as a “farm”.  Many extras go unpaid.   Otherwise, a good fill in job if in need.

Steady hours, but when they tell you that it's an OT day you are forced to stay an extra hour unless you have a good excuse.  Management don't care about you at all. Busy season is demanding, and they constantly push you hard. Some couldn't handle the work load and left. Some people are really nasty and will be there forever. Bullies are never punished for blatant bad behaviour. They are VERY SEXIST.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been there but I remember being miserable when I was there being a labourer . That may have been just for all the health problems I developed working there. The staff and workers there are however very nice. A great crew to work with. But for the low pay and the amount of months I felt ill being there it wasn’t worth it . 

Hours are good and job is good
Hot to work there,management is great.There is lots of variety of flowers through out the season and slow season is summer. You need to be able to stay late until the job is done. Busy times with more hours  in early spring  ; christmas , and mothers day.

I've been there for 23 years, it's a fast -paced company, I work by myself,
when it's gets busy I get some help when needed. I used to work full time, 
now I work part-time, because my job consists of standing all the time, no
relief of sitting down for about 10 to 15 minutes, for a breather. That is besides 3 breaks thoughout the day.

When it’s busy shipping works long hard hours! 
When it’s slow you can’t support yourself with the hours you get! This job is best suited to young people who still live at home or someone from a multi income household.

Switched from Orders to Planting, pretty chill day. Everyone is friendly towards each other. Supervisors are nice and understanding towards emergancies.
