My Sobeys Value: Get it Done With Passion and Integrity
Sobeys has turned my passion for food and desire to help others into something that I do on a daily basis.
Why Sobeys?
There is a great team environment here. Everyone is always willing to share knowledge from their areas of expertise. As a result, I have learned a great deal from other departments in my short time here.
My food confession
As a child my favourite food was toast and mustard but I can't even think of eating that now!

My Sobeys Value: Always Place the Customer First
Family is extremely important and my career fits my life perfectly. I have been able to watch my family grow up and I am able to spend time with my grandchildren, but at the same time I was able to focus on my career when I needed to.
Why Sobeys?
Sobeys has given me the opportunity to lead a large team of essential service staff. I take a lot of pride in knowing that I have been able help such great people find their niche within the company.
My food confession
My favourite food is shortbread cookies, and I will take them whipped or rolled!

My Sobeys Value: Get It Done With Passion and Integrity
Life has an expiry date and so I try to make each day happier than the last. I think "keep it real" is the best advice and I live it each and every day.
Why Sobeys?
My co-workers are like my second family. We joke around and laugh plenty...but our priority is our department and the store. My staff work as a team and I could not be more proud of them.
My Food Confession
Peanut Butter and bacon or Peanut Butter and smoke oyster sandwiches are AWESOME!!

My Sobeys Value: Get It Done With Passion & Integrity
No two days are the same. I don't like routine. I like the fact that every day I encounter new challenges that require a different approach.

Sobeys encourages all employees to try and live the four core values everyday. They are a great company to work for because if you have the desire to grow and learn and you are passionate about what you do, they are there to support you and they work with you to help better yourself professionaly.
My food confession
I make "5 minute fudge". I've been told it's excellent but it's a secret recipe.
