Sol Cuisine

In SOL Cuisine, a typical work day begins with each official complying with the good standards of personal hygiene and occupational health.  Then everyone will find indicated on a board in which line of work they will be and their function to perform.  With these indications each worker undertakes very actively to organize their job, the necessary tools, accessories and supplies, very attentive that all meet the standards of hygiene, sanitation and quality that govern our company.  Once production begins, controls should be taken on the weight, size and good shape of the product, the correct packaging and subsequent storage at the bodegage sites. In SOL CUISINE you learn to manage time very well, to be organized and strict with the quality of the product, to always think about the health and satisfaction of the consumer.  At all times you have the support of supervisors, coordinators and bosses.  The work environment is one of cooperation and friendship despite how intense and active the day is.  In SOL CUISINE there are sometimes difficult times, as in most companies, because of some technical failure of a machine or production system but the good thing is that there is always immediate attention by specialist technical personnel.  In addition, the company has made a large investment in adaptation and modernization of the plant and equipment that will facilitate the work and improve the production and quality of the product.  The most pleasant and cool of our company is that first and foremost we are a big family.

This company has the potential for growth but seriously lacks proper management to steer it forward. The so called directors and managers don't know what they are doing. This is a company in which the following mornings production schedule is determined at 11pm a night before by someone at his home. In the morning, everyone comes in asking , what are we doing? what are we doing? Unbelievable!  There is no flow of command system thereby each director or manager can wake up and say I am holding this product, stopping this, adjust machine settings etc without consulting anyone. This company has the largest ON HOLD products I have ever seen in food industry. Their cold room is full of on hold products. Two main liabilities that are bringing this company down are QA (Director) and Production Manager. These two have no people's' skills. I have never seen a team of 8 QA staff in such a small company. In the meantime their sanitation team is made up of only 3 people! Wrong hiring priorities right there. 
QA technician always delays start-up in the morning because she spends a lot of time inspecting irrelevant areas of equipment. We always start late because of QA technician inspecting wheels of equipment!

Sol Cuisine Inc is one of the best plant-based food companies in Canada. Some of their products are not only delicious but also very nutritious, for example, their Beet Burgers contain organic sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds and other ingredients. They used the best quality of plant foods like mushrooms, green and red peppers, onions, garlics, carrots, beets, wild rice, brown rice, corns, sweet potatoes, black beans, cranberries, chickpeas and green peas, wheat gluten, sunflower oil, tomato sauce and many natural plant flavors and spices like cumin seeds, black peppers, cilantro flakes, sage flakes, chipotle chili flakes to make more than 10 types of Veggie burgers. They also produced wonderful plant-based Falafel meatballs, veggie chicken tenders, meatless beef and chicken strips. This company’s workers’ salaries are above the average salaries of workers of food industry in Canada. They have a friendly, wise, well educated, and open-minded CEO. They have hired some smart and creative employees in various fields who have made the company better and better every day. You can buy some of their products at Costco, Metro, Sobey’s, Loblaw, Valu-Mart and other stores in Canada and USA.

The place is run by a management team who simply ensure that their salary above 130k is protected. There is no accountability for their incompetence. So the workers are forced into high responsibilities that is not their job or their pay grade. There is huge production issue and sales force that simply ignores the fact that they cannot commit to orders that will never ever be fulfilled.  
The CEO simply has no vision. The market place has deemed him incompetent as the CEO did introduce vegan products far earlier than competition but never ever innovated from the initial products. The products are still soy based and never evolved past that. 
The company is simply hanging by a thin thread and CEO's headache will become yours if you are not in the management position. Be vary when you accept and simply do the work you have signed up in your contract. 
Once you have built your experience, apply elsewhere and never ever look back

I've been with Sol Cuisine for just over 2 years. At first, I didn't like it much. There were really bad managers that spend more time arguing with each other then fixing problems. About a year ago the company started to make changes. I wasn't happy at first but now see that the changes are good. The new bosses like the ceo and the hr lady seem to really care about employees. The new quality lady is nice and is very thoughtful when telling us of a problem. Production manager is smart. He is becoming a better boss. Production is getting busier but things run a lot more smoothly and there are no more mean people working with me. I like my job and how I feel trusted and I now trust them.

Lacks transparency and concern for staff work environment, machine maintenance, and organization. Hiring process seems to favor only punjabi indians. Favoritism is a serious issue amongst management where as persons are victimized with work. Primary concern is output and profit with little adherence to product quality control. Basically a a bunch of moving parts that serve no purpose but just passing the time. Company has too many previous internal  personal issues stemming from CEO's obsession with micromanagement. Typical situation of owners not relinquishing full control to those who are paid to manage.

The management is the definition of corrupted. The CEO cares for no one there.  This company is NOT growing. There are not enough people to provide an easier work environment. People are overworked, underpaid, and then there are others who just love doing nothing making the big bucks putting in no work, trying to build relationships with management. I would definitely say there are few cases of judgement based on culture and skin colour there. The most valuable people there get mistreated and no appreciation. A typical day at that place is that you struggle to keep proper equipment in hands reach. It’s a challenge to organize, and people just team up on you to make you feel useless.  I would not recommend anyone to work in this place.

A very dedicated, hard working and knowledgeable production staff.
The management team, on the other hand, is anything but. 
Zero focus on safety or training , just push the product out the door then play the blame game when things go wrong. The owner has a " shoot from the hip" mentality, making it impossible for anyone , even the business to be successful. 
SOL does offer what is perhaps the best vegan and meat alternative products on the market today,but unfortunately , the owner has slowly been destroying the business to the point where they cannot compete in the marketplace and the future has become very bleak for this company.

A good place to start and learn the business or even skills.

Management is changing and improving day by day. Management is trying to bridge the communication gap and infuse the idea of productivity and achieving mutual goals. Sol cuisine is trying to implement policies and procedures to get work done. 


Salary could be a bit concern. Workplace culture is adaptive, friendly and stress-free, in short, understands employee.

 The best part of the job is you got an opportunity to grow while experiencing different work.

This company is ok to work with, but any situation occurs, the management lacks to support and help their employees. The company only runs on the basis of the employees however it's all politics. Absolutely 0 respect for their employees, and someone needs to be there for their employees, as the HR of the company doesn't represent  workers, the HR represents the management. A LOT of improvement needed, as nobody wants to work as a team to make it happen, they'd rather work against one another, and make it a bad experience to have.
