This place is a real sweat shop. The management always threatens you with your job if you don't work a thousand an hour. They suppose to pay you overtime after seven and an half, but they never do and if you do ask for it, they theaten you with your job. They are always looking at a camera or one management is walking around to see if everyone is working. The management are always condescending and put you down. This place has low moral.

The upper management has no vision of the future, they are stuck with the old ways.  They are dictated by their suppliers of what they have to take. Management needs fresh blood and new modern ideas to make it more efficient. Micro managing is beyond ridiculous and there is no reason what the do. The salary less than desirable and the benefits are laughable. Stay away working at the food bank

I went to the food bank a total of two times throughout the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 both times was with my Leadership class at Hillcrest Junior High school. The first time I went me and a few friends made baskets that would be sent out to families in need and the second time we went i was sorting through the food that was donated to the Food Bank so that they could later be put in baskets.

I have learnt to work in a fast-paced environment and keep tracks of remaining products and which types each product belongs to. The hardest part of the job is to get everything correct for each individual family since each family in need will have certain requirements that we have to follow. The most enjoyable part is to get to help people that are in their difficult times and bring smiles to them.

Started the days making sure everything was in order and food quality was acceptable. Working with volunteers and making sure that they had tasks to do for the day. Made sure I informed my boss how the day was going and if I saw anything that was a concern. Overall a fun relaxing place to work,management was willing to hear new ideas.
