About Loblaw: not only are they an over prices grocery chain but here's how they sucker punch their own employees

1. Parking: force people to their downtown office where parking is limited but costs $17. Pre tax , it is anywhere from$4000 to $5600 from salary paid towards parking. the building is owned by Loblaws

2. RRSP match : doesn't kick in until 12months, 2% match. The company match is lost if you leave before 24 months.

And a few others...beware...negotiate hard

Parking?! You could take transit. You are choosing to pay that much of your salary towards parking. Also, $17 in a major city is pretty good. Where I live, parking is $25/day. And I dont live in Toronto or Vancouver.

I also work for a company that is much bigger than Loblaws, and they do not RRSP match. After 1 year, you get a 1% DPSP “match”/employer contribution if you contribute 4%.

Its not them sucker punching you. Its business.

I don’t understand this take of “forces me to commute downtown”. Nobody is forcing you to do anything - find a job that pays more or treats you better.

It is extremely common for employers to have vesting schedules, and that is not something you can negotiate to change.
