What Our People have to Say

I have been working with Sobeys for over seven years. I love my job because I am always learning new things. Every day, I am faced with some sort of unique challenge or opportunity to figure out, making my role more exciting. I value the team I work with – the people at Sobeys are amazing.

Ryan ,
Manager

I would tell anyone that Sobeys is a great environment, has a good culture and the people are wonderful. The impact that someone can have on the front-line business is significant. It’s very open-door, and we foster continuous improvement through contribution. There is lots of opportunity for internal mobility, and to find new and exciting experience for their career that they might not have had before.

Isaias ,
Manager

What I like best is helping people grow. When you retire, it's not about the money you make, it's about the people you helped along the way. Someone can get in on the ground-level, and Sobeys will help you develop to become what you want to become. I started as a part-time cashier 38 years ago, and I was fortunate to have a franchisee who cared about my development, and challenge me to expand my horizons and do different things. The time and investment that they made; I wouldn't be where I am today without that.

Cindy ,
Vice President

Sobey’s is a great company to work for. It’s a company that values your voice, experience, knowledge and expertise. We have a great culture that is focused on making it a fun place to work. The people here create an environment where you want to come to work, have people to talk to and make friends. We are all goal-orientated, high-energy people.

Director
