Line Cook Reviews
What is it like working as a Line Cook?
August 2021
Stand your ground.
Line Cook in Gatineau:
If you call in sick and they tell you they still need you to come in? Too bad, you're sick.
If you're only available til 9pm because you rely on the bus to get home? Sorry, can't take accept that closing shift, boss.
They want you to come in on a day you aren't available because of school/family/etc? Sorry boss, no can do.
Because one of the constants I've seen in this industry is that if you don't establish the boundaries and stand your ground, they will take everything you have to give and ask for more. But honestly, if you're a decent worker, know the job, and show up on time, you're not really going to feel any blowback for it because they know that reliable, steady staff is more important in the long run.

It's very fast paced and can be stressful as we're often understaffed. The exceptions of everyone are very high, and it's rare to get a break during your shift to eat.
Line Cook in Abbotsford:
Pros: I love the people I work with. My coworkers are the reason I'm still there.
Cons: I don't feel valued or appreciated. I don't usually get a break to eat food.

Line Cook in Lincoln City:
A place with many hats to wear. It's a good place to work for the experience and comes with decent benefits. Only issue I had was management's communication issues. It wasn't a problem until I transferred to CSG.
