Horrible experience stemming from upper management & owners

Pros

The only pros that were present are now gone as most of the forward-thinking staff were left unheard and found better opportunities elsewhere.

Cons

- Fear of rats as there were over 20 in the warehouse - Absolutely no room for growth, managers will keep you where you are by doing mindless repetitive tasks - Direct managers are not on your side, they will take all credit to make themselves appeal to the owner - Nothing to learn as most of the upper managers do not know how to use excel nor have an education - You will not be paid even remotely close to industry averages - Proposals to better the company will not be considered and you will not be heard - Managers will berate you and call you names - Managers act as if they are doing important tasks, but are actually just browsing their phones - False promises of career advancements, wage increases, work from home options - Gossip across the entire toxic company, rooting from upper management - Everything must be taken with a grain of salt, managers will refute any past promises by twisting and cherry-picking their words/offers - Forced office culture, where rearrangements of desks and seating arrangements occurred often and obnoxious techno music was played for 5+ hours straight - Micromanagement even when tasks are elementary - Extremely high turnover - Managers always choose the options that further decline revenue due to a lack of experience - Air conditioners were never on to save costs even when temperatures hit above 30 degrees, warehouse and office became ovens

Rats and literal rats

Pros

A few awesome coworkers but they need to get out soon too!

Cons

- TOXIC culture. "speak up, get fired" -"Leadership" and the owners don't care about you or know what they're doing. - There's non-stop drama in every department. - Young people and immigrants, especially get taken advantage of and paid less. - Sexism is also very much present (boys club with no women in leadership). - Male managers will take credit for your hard work. - The owners are so cheap and have no concept of real life. - They won't invest in anything or anyone. Example, have to bring your own laptop. - The office space is disgusting and overcrowding. No sunlight. Rats everywhere! Brutally cold in the winter and scorching hot in the summer, as they don't want to pay for heat, air conditioning, or even fans. - Your mental health will suffer.

Why you should work at Vitasave

Pros

Why should you work for vitasave? There are several reasons of course. Let’s begin with how pet-friendly vitasave is. the amazing well fed rats, that run around eating every item, leaving feces and urine on your products. They enjoy your vitamins/supplements as much as you! Don’t worry, vitasave makes sure to tape up any rat damaged product and bag it, so no excess falls out on its way to you. Secondly vitasave loves to reuse, reduce, recycle, it’s why you’ll receive expired products, let’s not let anything go to waste. Another reason on why you should work for vitasave is that the general manager loves to be involved. Especially in your personal life whether it is work related or not, we love a micro managing individual, that asks inappropriate questions. Vitasave is known as a place that offers opportunities and growth for everyone, it is very true. Take it from the management team, all they did was read Business management books off Amazon and now they make over 100k a year. Vitasave is amazing, the workplace environment makes you feel extremely welcome especially when they segregate you based off your race. The managers are always motivating their employees to further expand their experience by mentioning that everyone is disposable and replaceable. The general manager always puts a smile on your face when speaking to you in a condescending way because no one is allowed to have a voice at vitasave. Don’t worry it’s not too bad, you’ll get a 25 cent to $1.00 raise after your yearly review…. That’s if the general manager likes you. My favourite reason on why you should work at vitasave is that you will get no recognition on anything you achieve/accomplish. Your manager will make sure to claim your work as it’s own. Vitasave claims everyone’s job is secured and there are great projects coming soon, they just don’t let you know your last day was two days ago. Vitasave loves hard working employees. If you love being exploited work for Vitasave. They’re always understaffed… I wonder why?
