Supreme Office Supplies

     I did not enjoy working here because the treatment from the higher ups they show no appreciation towards the warehouse and furnishing department. They basically make you feel like your not contributing to the company enough. 

   They have way too big expectations for the warehouse manager that it created a toxic workplace where the employees feel like its manatory to work over time. Here's an example most of the shifts that works at 6:30pm tend to stay until everyone is done which is typically 7:30pm to 9:30pm. The work is competitive and fast paced and disorganized but it seemed like they were in the process of fixing the disorganization when i was employed there. 

 There is a couple of things i did enjoy while working there. The workout gym inside the building and a nice spacious kitchen/breakroom upstairs there is one downstairs but its not so great. I liked working with the coworkers i saw everyday didn't have any discord with them. The work was enjoyable and sometimes boring and frustrating. Also the occasianal work events.

Supreme Basics is not a great company to work for (at least in the Warehouse department). They like to report to be all about “Equality”, and they are anything but. Management expects employees to work at a “fast-pace” throughout each day, but yet some people can manage to drag their feet the entire day and not be corrected on that, while management gets on your case for “not working fast enough”. On busy day’s you a required to stay until the very end (even though your work has been all finished) to help finish other people’s work due to inefficiency throughout the day. The shifts were either 10:00-6:00 or 10:30-6:30, but never guarantee that you be off work at 6:00 or 6:30, it’s more like 7:30-9:00, and screws up your evening plans.

For the first couple months it was a fun place to work, I was excited to go. Then once I was full time I had great numbers and was one of the hardest workers there. The management there praised the slow workers who had been there a long time and nitpicked the newer workers who actually worked. It’s so hard to get time off granted even if it’s just a day or two. Tried to get time off 4 months ahead of when I needed it and was declined. Told my employers that I couldn’t come into work 2 weeks before the days through an email and was told I was expected to be at work during that time. Then fired during the week I could not be there. Was told I was fired because I did not give them notice for the missing time. Not a good place to work.

I was hired on under the pretence of full time.
The people i worked with were great but the expectations were impossibly high and everyone knew it. A week from my probation being up they fired between 8 to 15 of us some were temps from a temp agency some were not. We were all let go under the pretence of "We couldent meet the expectations" they let us go the day before a long weekend.  From what i heard at the time  they have been doing this to people for the last 5 years. So be warned if you see a posting around summer time. Its temp no matter what they say.

It was a great family company to work for for many years until a large group from eastern Canada purchased Supreme.  Immediate slashes to group benefits, retirement plans and sales commissions saw our best sales members leave. (Pretty sure they took their Rolodexes with them).   Closed 3 branches nation wide and repeatedly had troubles getting customers orders to warehouses around Canada on time.  Supreme being a "next day" or "on demand" delivery team was not living up to customers expectations.  Many customers left for other stationary suppliers.  Very sad!

$17 per hour to lug heavy/awkward office furniture. Furniture shipper/receiver is an absolute miserable *bleep*. Warehouse manager is also miserable, and two faced. So is the head salesman. Pack mentality, if you aren't 110% what they want you to be, be expected to be skidded just days ahead of your probation limit.

Unless you already know how to assemble all types of office furniture, and you're ok with kissing MAJOR keister to keep the shipper/receiver, warehouse manager & head salesman to keep them from throwing you under the bus, avoid avoid avoid.

I like to get the day started early with a positive attitude. Working with my peers and Manager makes me successful. I also enjoy speaking with Supreme's Customers and supplying them with the best service ever. I feel some of my customers are my friends. There is a pleasant atmosphere with a lot of team work. My manager supports me and helps when needed.

Supreme is a very successful Company mainly do to the great employees and customers that we have. Employees care about Supremes success and work very hard to serve our customers in the best way possible. We have many departments that help enable our success! Our Customers always come first, and working together as a team ensures us to better serve them.

I am glad that I have been given the opportunity of Supreme Basics Management to have worked with them.


A typical office setup  that has a standard operating procedures with supportive and good co-workers.  I have learned a lot of Canadian Culture being an immigrant in this country.

New owner laid off all the competent people and it is now a terrible place to work. Management that is left is unqualified and their stress from their poor job performance rubs off on everyone. Depressing culture.
