Horrible, I would give them a -500 rating on everything

Business Outlook

Pros

The only thing that made it worthwhile was my coworkers

Cons

Honestly they're breaking so many labour laws, don't treat their workers with the respect that they need, racist, and most importantly are taking advantage of their workers kindness. Workers that have been there for over 20 years are being forced to quit as this is the worst place to work in Ontario.
