Used to be a good company to work for 5 years ago. Now its become an extremely difficult place to work. Hours and benifits have been cut and staff moral is at an all time low.They have no respect for thier long term employee's and make it difficult for them to stay so they can hire new staff at a much lower pay scale.

Unless you are a student who only needs a few hours a week, do not work for...

I've been an employee with LD for almost 10 years now and find it to be a wonderful company to work for. Admittedly, there has been a downwards shift in the atmosphere, with the pay cuts, but i think that is the case with a lot of businesses these days. Overall, I am very happy working here.

Not a great place to work anymore, its become a toxic enviroment.

They treat staff as disposable.

It is all about the bottom line and employee's are not respected.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE working for LD!!! Management team is/has always been fair. They know how to weed out the douche-bags, and reward the stars. Store operations are top-notch, and don't really have many bumps in the road. Over-all... BEST company I've ever worked for.

I worked for LD for 15 years. I was stuck working the same 6-10:00 pm shifts as the 17 year old kids that had no experience. They were *not* considerate or respectful of my family; they did not care if I missed Thanksgiving dinner or Sports Days. Their management is terrible. I can't begin to guess how many store managers and departments managers I saw in my years there. If employees were awful...

Bad company to work for, right up there with Shoppers drug mart.

I have worked there for nearly 20 years and this company has gone from one who cares to one that wants to milk their customers for every penny they can.They treat thier employee's like cattle ready for the slaughter and have started rolling back benefits and pay to increase profit for the company. Sales people in the various...

At the beginning, LD was great, management was great. Until I learned they treat management positions like musical chairs. In the two years I worked there, I had 7 managers -- In my department, not even the entire store. They say they are a team environment, but they're NOT. They don't appreciate how important and valuable it is that coworkers get along, and are appreciative of each other. They...

I worked at London Drugs for more than a few years. During this time I met many great people and some not so great. However, management was always very respectful on all occasions and flexible when I needed time off (I'm a student). I was paid well there, but I was also in an outer department where the compensation is more appropriate for your skills. I have some wonderful memories about London...

I donno who the people rating here are (management?). However, as someone with 3 members of my family working (worked) at London Drugs, I have to say that the corporate culture has diminished over the last 5 years. The company owners are trying to open up stores across Canada as rapidly as they can, while reducing hours for all lower level workers. The more stores you have as a corporate...

Very nice place to work in the beginning. Co-workers and management was great. Eventually though, they cut everyones hours without explanation, doubling the workload, and refused to give me my vacation time. I had to call in late once due to an medical emergency, gave them about 4-5 hours notice, but was summarily fired for it.

London Drugs is a fine place to work as long as the management is up to par. When I first started working, everything ran really smoothly and it felt like a communal workplace where management respected both employees and customers to a high degree, and working there wasn't a hassle. New management eventually came in, and they were a bunch of money-grubbing, hour-cutting, customer-ignoring,...

I love working for this company. Its a friendly business oriented atmosphere. My co-workers and managers are very customer service oriented but still find time to make work fun for each other. The management as well as the overall culture of the company is very supportive of a family oriented lifestyle, and with a rewards and incentive programs galore you are always motivated to perform your...
