What do you remember most about your first day on the job?
My grocery manager was a great mentor; everything he taught me helped me progress.
What is the best part of working at Sobeys?
Watching employees I have trained reach the next level, I've watched several move up and get promoted, I'm proud to have helped them like others have helped me. It's a two-way street.
What is your proudest moment as a Sobeys employee?
When I was accepted into the Manager in Training program, and then became an assistant manager.
What advice would you give to a new Sobeys employee?
To be successful, ask a lot of questions, pay attention, and be mindful of their expectations for you.
My Sobeys is...
...a place where I learn, grow, and provide for my family. It's where I've been my whole career and I'll retire here.
