Provigo

A normal day starts at 7 o'clock. I took care of filling the stalls, check the freshness and check the expiry dates. Once finished, I started preparing fresh salads

The job requires inventory management, product rotation, price adjustment and promotions. I also took care of watering plants. Ensuring hygienic standards and maintaining the cleanliness of the work spaces and the store was also part of our job.

The best part of my job was customer consulting. Helping, guiding and advising clients is great in our work. Seeing the smile and the satisfaction of our customers were the best gifts of our day. The end of the year party with the boss and colleagues was also a special and pleasant event.

the most difficult part of our job was receiving and handling the goods. However, it was done with humor and in a group.

The work environment was nice. All the employees knew each other and we shared our stories at lunchtime.

I learned a lot from my manager and I have very good human relations with all my colleagues.

the manger who is currently working there is rude and treats the cashiers like machines. When i personally started there, out of six cashiers i met only two of them who had been there for more than a month max and i later learned its because they either get fired or quit because of the manager. 
you cannot chew gum, you cannot have a water bottle with you because there is a water fountain nearby (not very covid safe) meaning that you cannot drink water until after you finish a rush. You would expect a minimum wage job like this to be more lenient as they mostly hire young people looking for their first job experience but no, it truly is zero tolerance.  you get a 15 minute break unless you work more than 6hrs wich is crazy considering how overstimulating, and physically demanding it is to stand still for that long. 

Worked in the grocery department 
You are payed close to minimum wage they want you to be your fastest, they would literealy like better you shove products some random place than for you to be a little slower and place things neatly where its supposed to go. Big lack of communication between supervisers, to my opinon lack of organization. When you start to take the time facing and checking the dates you find alot of dusty and sticky shelf, plus quite a bit of expired items (often from a few years prior) 
And thats only the tip of the iceberg. 
On a more positive note some of the co-workers are actually really nice and are the only reason i was able to stay this long.

Working at provigo was the best time I have had working at any company. The staff was really nice an it felt like a family environment.
A typical day would be me arriving in the morning and getting the department ready by removing rotten products. Placing stock throughout the day. Scan the department for missing or inaccurate   price tags. I would also do the order for the stock needed.

This job taught me how to be a good independent worker as well as a good team worker. I've learned to troubleshoot and solve problems on my own. I also learned how to use the SAP software to do orders. Mostly this job gave boosted my confidence level and ability to provide good customer service.

A typical day at work would be arriving at 7 am, checking the punch cards for my particular employees from the day before. Then heading into the department and doing a walk through taking notes on things that had to be done during the course of the day or week.
Once that was all done cleaning the department was done. Orders came in and merchandise had to be placed in accordance to a set floor plan designed my head office. Customer service was always our number 1 priority.
On the weekends I was responsible for sending out the pays for the entire store.
I also at one point in my many years with Provigo was the back store stock receiver and then went on to be the CAO analyste ( Inventory control )

What is the best part of working at the company?
there was almost nothing good about working for provigo. no communication, no thanks for doing a job well, lots of questions if job not done to their liking, no support of any kind, the only good thing was having a bit of money to pay the bills

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
almost everything about the job was stressful

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
it sucks, no positivity at all, everyone looks like they want to run away and join the circus

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
doing what you are told and not asking questions for 8 hours

As a grocery bagger, your job is to stand behind the cash and fill grocery bags for customers. When there are no customers, you keep busy by organizing the recycled bottles, by cleaning the store or by bringing the carts back inside from their outdoor shelters.

When you open the store, you must brume the parking lot as well as the interior of the store and face the fruits and vegetables. You must also turn on the lights.

When you close the store, you must close all the lights, bring the fruits and vegetables back into the refrigerators and lock up the store.

Provigo is a great place to work for a full time student like me. The tasks we are expected to perform are very reasonable, and bring little to no stress. The manager is extremely flexible when making the schedules, taking our school life into consideration. Ive learnt how to work better in a team, how to perfect customer service, and that I should always keep smiling. Provigo has a really diverse staff, which makes it a lot more fun because ive met so many new people from different backgrounds. The best part of this job is the people I work with. I have made good friends working at provigo.

I hated the supervisors, I hated a lot of the staff, I hated the pay, I hated a lot of the customers. That job was cruel to me, they didn't even care about my well-being and could care less about the hours I'm supposed to be working. Why was I working almost 30 hours but I was full time. And they would schedule me weekends when I SPECIFICALLY said NO WEEKENDS. They don't pay you ENOUGH for the things you go through. The manager didn't even care when I told him I was having problems with another employee and he would STILL put us on the same shift... I guess he wanted her to get beat or something I don't know.

My time as a Commis fruits et légumes at Provigo left much to be desired. The job mainly involved monotonous tasks that lacked variety, making each day feel like a repetitive cycle. Despite the dedication I put into my role, the compensation offered was far from satisfactory, failing to reflect the effort and commitment required. The lack of growth opportunities and engagement further dampened the experience. Provigo has much room for improvement in valuing its employees and creating a more stimulating work environment.
